  • Final resting place for Brother Joseph, who created the art that is known as Ave Maria Grotto.This is a cemetery of only monks in residence at St. Bernard Abbey. Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a landscaped, 4-acre park in an old quarry on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, providing a garden setting for 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 24, 1976, and to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard's Abbey, who devoted some 50 years to the project, the last three decades (1932 to 1961) almost without interruption. They incorporate discarded building supplies, bricks, marbles, tiles, pipes, sea shells, marbles, plastic animals, costume jewellery, toilet bowl floats and cold cream jars. Born in 1878 in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Brother Joseph was maimed in an accident that left him slightly hunched due to cervical kyphosis. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager, settling in northern Alabama. Soon afterward he began studying at the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bernard, where he took his vows in 1897. Br. Joseph was not allowed to be ordained as a priest, due to the rule of the period that stated any man with a distracting disability could not be ordained a priest. He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man. Brother Joseph rarely left Alabama, where he died in 1961.

We had a great stay! Check in was super easy and kitchen facilities met all our needs. Clean. Close to Smith Lake Park for ramp access. Highly recommended for adults. Would have given 5 stars but the second story height deck was not safe for children. Horizontal wires were too far apart. We had to continually remind our 8 y/o and 4y/o to stay away from the edge for fear they could slip through the wires.

Best vacation!

We had a family of 10 staying at Carols Cottage, we had plenty of room. The boys played on the dock even after getting off the boat! And there is no telling how many times they jumped off the top deck! They enjoyed moving rocks to see how tall they could stack them up! The water is some of the cleanest we have seen(being from Mississippi). The house had everything we needed from the kitchen to the bathroom! We loved the wood floors! Beds were comfortable! We enjoyed the deck and the windows looking over the lake! Very relaxing the best vacation we have been on in a while! We did bring all groceries and took sandwiches out on the boat! So we didn’t have to leave other than to go out on the boat. We definitely stay here again!
