ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) – A new luxury tiny home resort backed by country music artist Darryl Worley has officially broken ground in ENTERPRISE, with developers targeting a late spring 2026 opening.
According to a news release, the Awful Beautiful Life Luxury Tiny Home Resort is being built in a high-traffic corridor where an estimated 12 million vehicles pass through annually en route to the Florida Panhandle. The development is located within a short drive of Fort Novosel, formerly known as Fort Rucker.
Developers say the resort is designed to meet the growing demand for short-term lodging for military families, government contractors and visitors attending flight graduations or touring the Army Aviation Museum. The project will also cater to travelers seeking an alternative to traditional hotels.
“I won’t forget getting that phone call from my dear friend Ronnie Gilley as he shared this incredible vision with me last year,” Worley said in the release. “We knew we could help the families of those stationed at Fort Rucker by creating short-term lodging and an affordable lifestyle community with five-star amenities.”
Plans for the resort include 75 luxury tiny homes featuring a downstairs bedroom, kitchen, sitting area and covered porch designed for extended outdoor use. Developers say the compact layouts are intended to balance efficiency with comfort and entertainment space.
Additional amenities listed in the release include a resort-style lagoon pool, event center, fitness center, clubhouse, lounge areas, pickleball and cornhole courts, a dog park and a gated entrance with 24/7 security.
Worley said the project was inspired by rising housing costs and a growing need for affordable options near military installations. He added that the resort is also expected to appeal to retirees relocating to the southern United States.
