Fourteen historic cabins have been renovated at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville.
The bluff-side cabins, built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, now have updated kitchens and bathrooms, new furniture and fixtures, and refreshed interiors.
“Several of these cabins boast stunning views of the valley surrounding Monte Sano Mountain, and we’re thrilled to have upgraded the interiors to create an experience as beautiful as the setting,” said Chris Blankenship, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. “Our mission is to provide exceptional amenities at Alabama’s state parks and ensure every guest enjoys a truly first-class stay. We’ve preserved the charm of a historic mountain retreat while elevating comfort and relaxation so visitors can unwind and make unforgettable memories.”
Funding for the upgrades at the park came from the $85 million bond issue for parks approved by voters in 2022. Slated for completion this year are three other major bond-funded projects: a new lodge at Cheaha State Park, a renovation of Lake Lurleen State Park and the expansion of the campground at Gulf State Park.
