Lovely cottage so close yet so far away
This is the perfect location for a NE AL mountain retreat. You get away from it all, but you are in walking distance to Mentone amenities. The cottage itself is so lovely and charming - the most important thing is function of course but the fashion is the cherry on top. Decorations and style were A. The hot tub make this experience 1000x better. We will definitely be back! We visited DeSoto Falls, Little River Canyon, and Little River Falls, but there is so much more to do in reasonable driving distances!

Charming, immaculate, and convenient!
Instead of our usual day trips to Mentone, we decided to stay overnight. This tastefully updated bungalow was a welcome retreat for a long weekend. We found it to be pristine. The neutral country French decor was the right balance between rustic and refined. So relaxing! Before our arrival, the owners provided welcome suggestions for some new dining experiences outside of Mentone and Ft Payne. There is a sidewalk conveniently located outside the house, for a short walk to town. Communication with the owners was thorough and friendly. Arrival and departure instructions were easy. No surprises! We’d love to visit this jewel again.

Lovely Craftsman Cottage in the heart of Mentone
We booked this cabin for our first anniversary. We had spent our honeymoon in Mentone and wanted to come back to the area. We were pleasantly surprised to see the booking from the same owners as our other stay. The owners have done a lovely job renovating this historic cottage into a modern treasure. We loved the decor and how homey it felt. It was also right in the heart of town so it was very accessible to everything we wanted to do.The hosts are wonderful and helpful, we couldn't be more pleased with our experiences with them.

Memories made in Mentone!
Our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 young children) stayed in this lovely home over thanksgiving. We have always stayed with family, but decided to venture out and get a place of our own this visit. We could not have been happier with this house. The location was great in Mentone because it’s located close to everything along the main strip, and about 20 minutes from Fort Payne historic downtown. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated to perfection! Plenty of towels to last your entire stay. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for your stay. This home was great for our family but would be perfect for a couple looking for a private getaway or a small family of 4 (or less). We still managed well with 6! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay!!
This was the perfect house and I’ve already shared it with other family and friends so they can enjoy it as well! From the decor, to the pillows on the bed… everything was perfectly designed.
We’ve stayed in many short term rentals and this was the best. We even had a crazy experience where we left things in the house and had to return to the property not once.. but twice.. the communication was top notch and I was able to go back and retrieve our belongings that were left. 10/10 stay! We can’t wait to stay again!

PEACE of Mind...
My Husband and I found this cottage, and we knew at that moment we wanted to stay for his Birthday weekend. The cottage had everything we needed and more to feel right at home. The beautiful decor of the home was IMMACULATE, there was so much attention to detail, there was so much life in this home. We disconnected from the busy everyday chaos and we are so happy that we chose to land here. The owner was so communicative, responded very quickly and left no stone unturned. We were less than 1 minute from the Market, and other attractions in the city center. This was a BEAUTIFUL weekend, and such a great experience. Thank you so much for hosting us. Namaste.
