Fairhope Storybook Guest House, Fairhope, Alabama

The legendary artist and sculptor Craig Sheldon created this magical one-of-a-kind handcrafted treasure over a forty year span of time. The house is filled with artwork—in fact, the house itself is a work of art. Featured on HGTV, The Ananda Lewis Show, and APT, this unique building is recognized as one of America’s most artistic structures. From floor to ceiling, you will delight in a lifetime dedicated to creating an artistic legacy painstakingly maintained by the family.

This private retreat, nestled in a wooded setting surrounded by acres of forest, is only a short walk from the center of beautiful downtown Fairhope and all its charm. The Eastern Shore Art Center academy and museum are just across the street, with coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping within easy walking distance. Spirits are often rejuvenated as guests take a nature walk through the beautiful landscaped grounds, admiring the numerous varieties of plant life carefully selected by the original owner, Mrs. Sheldon.
