About Bankhead Resort

A woodland retreat in Double Springs, Alabama

Come for the forest. Stay for the feeling.

A quieter kind of getaway

Bankhead Resort is a growing getaway in Double Springs, Alabama, with the forests, waterfalls, and waterways of North Alabama close by. We’re building a place where an outdoor adventure and a comfortable night’s rest belong in the same trip.

One cabin is already welcoming guests. Our two-story cabin is nearing completion, and another distinctive stay sits in the woods. Each is part of Bankhead Resort—and part of our vision for more ways to enjoy this corner of Alabama.

A place to come back to

Spend the day exploring, then return to your own space to rest. A cabin stay lets you enjoy the outdoors without planning every moment around the trail.

02
A day that feels like yours

Head out early for a forest walk, make a day of Smith Lake, or stay in with a good book. The itinerary is yours to shape.

03
Respect for the land
Plan thoughtfully, follow posted rules, and practice Leave No Trace when visiting the region’s forests and waterways.

Growing with more to look forward to
