Phenomenal mountain getaway.

This was a family pre-holiday getaway. We loved the accommodations, kitchen. Fire pit, open area and walking on property, games, river/creek, and more. It was cozy, clean, and well furnished. We lobe to cook and it had everything we needed and more. Highly recommended.

First time to Mentone

Our first time to Mentone, AL was perfect in this cabin. We traveled with our friends and had 4 adults and 4 kids. The space was perfect for us and is probably the most well stocked rental home I’ve ever seen. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there and in great condition. There was plenty of firewood on property for a fire. The home was very clean and maintained. I appreciated there were outdoor and indoor lights on when we arrived since we came in after dark. Our kids enjoyed all the games (especially Bingo). We utilized the two bedrooms on the main floor as well as the bedroom downstairs and pullout couch downstairs. All the beds and pillows were comfy. There is only one TV on property so we did have to put up the couch bed in order to watch football which was fine for us, just a good note for others looking to rent. It was nice to have the little river to walk down to and we enjoyed the surrounding areas and restaurants. This was the perfect spot for two families to share and we would rent again if we come back.

Life is good.

An experience of beauty, nature, and comfort. Our group are all in their 70’s and beginning to have health concerns, I wanted to give them a memory to ponder in the winter when we are all awake at night and rethinking our lives. This place will be remembered as unique and extraordinary. It is beautiful in every way. Thank you for allowing us the experience.

Look no further!

We started this vacation wanting to find a place off the beaten path to be refreshed from our crazy paced life. This home was just that and SO much more! We loved the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the home/yard/river, and the sweet little town of Mentone. The Mentone Market pizza is a must:) This home is just perfect for any type of stay, and the management company is top notch and awesome to work with! Five Stars all around! We had a wonderful week there and can't wait to go back:)

Serenity

The house was beautiful inside and out. We loved all the art throughout the house and thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. We enjoyed the spending time by the creek in the afternoon and fire pit in the evening. The house is conveniently located near a lot of site sighing spots. You won’t be disappointed renting this house.
