A New Era of Tiny Living: Awful Beautiful Life Resort
In the picturesque town of Enterprise, Alabama, a groundbreaking project is underway that seeks to revolutionize short-term lodging for military families and visitors alike. Dubbed the
Awful Beautiful Life Resort, this ambitious luxury tiny home resort will introduce
75 premium tiny homes equipped with five-star amenities by late spring 2026.
Located just a stone's throw from
Fort Rucker, the resort sits on a bustling 75-mile corridor frequented by over 12 million vehicles annually, making it an ideal destination for travelers heading south towards the Florida panhandle. This strategic location not only offers convenient access for tourists but also meets the constant demand for lodging from government contractors and families visiting service members.
Renowned country music artist
Darryl Worley envisions this resort as much more than just a place to stay. He emphasizes that, "there is a constant need for short-term lodging due to the ongoing flow of personnel in and out of the base." Worley is genuinely motivated by the mission to create a lifestyle community that provides comfort and security to military families. He elaborates that the project could serve as a two-for-one solution: it caters to the immediate lodging needs of military families while providing a beautiful, welcoming space designed for relaxation and entertainment.
Comfort and Community in Tiny Packages
Each of the
75 tiny homes at the Awful Beautiful Life Resort is designed to maximize comfort without sacrificing style or utility. Featuring open floor plans that include a downstairs bedroom, kitchen, sitting area, and an inviting covered porch, these accommodations facilitate both intimate gatherings and larger get-togethers. The outdoors is not forgotten; with large overhangs, guests can enjoy their patio space, no matter the weather.
The resort will also boast a
resort lagoon pool, a dog walking park, and various recreational facilities that encourage a vibrant community atmosphere. Guests will have access to an
event center, a fully equipped fitness center, a pickleball court, cornhole, a clubhouse, and a chill lounge for relaxation. Worley has ensured that a 24/7 security gate will protect guests' privacy and safety throughout their stay.
Catering to Diverse Needs
Worley's initiative addresses more than just the pressing need for military lodging; it also anticipates the growing influx of retirees moving to southern states. With affordable housing options like tiny homes, it aligns perfectly with the current real estate trends showing skyrocketing home prices and interest rates, making it a timely offering in a competitive market.
"The lifestyle Awful Beautiful Life Resort is creating will also be very inviting to the massive migration of retirees that are moving south in record numbers," Worley stated. This foresight not only enhances the lives of military families but also provides an attractive option for other segments of the population looking to downsize or simplify their living situations.
Invest in the Future
As construction progresses, opportunities for investment and partnership are also available. Interested parties can find more information at

Darryl Worley’s musical career began with a series of hit songs in the early 2000s, including the poignant anthem “Have You Forgotten?” that resonated with service members and civilians alike. His philanthropic efforts, particularly toward military families, inform his vision for this project—infusing both purpose and passion into every aspect of the resort.
As the Awful Beautiful Life Resort readies for its grand opening, it promises to be a transformative experience for everyone who steps foot inside. The combination of luxury and functionality makes it a pioneering model for future developments in the hospitality industry, particularly in areas that cater to our military families.
In a world where traditional lodging options are increasingly less affordable or accessible, the Awful Beautiful Life Resort stands out as a beacon of hope and accommodation for many, dedicated to enhancing lives and building community.
