Welcome! We are glad you have come to our new website.  To start, we would like to share a little history of how Terrapin Creek Lodge came to be.

In July 2005, during a family reunion in northern Alabama, the Bragg family first saw the house and 5 acres on Terrapin Creek we now call Terrapin Creek Lodge.  Because we thought the property was unique and very special, we began pursuing its purchase.  Through various twists and turns, we were finally able to buy it in September 2007.  

At the time of purchase, the house needed extensive work and the cabins (and bathhouse) needed completion.  We lovingly renovated the property with quality and warmth as a place where we wanted to live.  We used natural materials and handmade furnishings whenever possible.

During the construction efforts, we were constantly told:  “this is the best place on the creek.”  “This is such a beautiful and peaceful place, can we rent it?”  “This would be a perfect place for a business retreat, church camp, family reunion, or wedding.” “This is such a warm and beautiful place.  The handwork of God is everywhere.”  It seemed that family, friends, neighbors and almost everyone we met asked us to make it available for others to use.

During the renovation, we let family, friends, and our family’s church use it.  The overwhelming, positive feedback has convinced us that it is a place to be shared.  Consequently, when our family is not using the property, we are making it available for individuals, groups, families, businesses, churches and others who we hope will appreciate and care for it as we do.   

Sincerely,

The Bragg Family
