About this property

New Great Room addition, beautifully furnished & ready for your enjoyment!

Escape from the rat race! Say goodbye to the hustle and bustle! Looking for a romantic getaway? Want to experience a taste of heaven in a beautiful mountain setting? Need some personal rejuvenation? Then, this is the place for you, or special guest! A wonderland welcomes you at "Tall Meadow Rue," a beautiful English stone cottage with stained glass windows and upscale decor, nestled in seclusion yet a short stroll from downtown Mentone and all outdoor activities beckoning you in the scenic area surrounding.

The tranquil setting includes a tea house/studio, outdoor chapel, goldfish pond, sculpted European style gardens with exotic plants and iconic figures, stone fire pit, private side porch, and other natural attractions.

Hear the local church bells toll ring on the hour with periodic hymn chimes periodically, plus watch the multi-colored finches and cardinals feed from the spacious side screened porch.

This home and setting could be a perfect mini-retreat getaway, a holistic diversion, an intimate honeymoon, family vacation, women/friends reunion, or the perfect base for area scenic explorations.

Includes free wi-fi, five smart tvs, eco-friendly washer/dryer, wood burning fireplace, gas BBQ grill, bathroom claw foot tub, scenic woodland views,etc.

PLEASE NOTE -- The house sleeps up to eight, and with the new Great Room, comfortably accommodates the maximum guests. We assess additional $25 per person per night extra for those booking beyond four persons.

This property is truly amazing. All of the details, so much room. Perfect location in Mentone. The new additional room is so comfortable and inviting. This is by far one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed. Very clean, we will stay here again. The host is very accommodating and did a great job of keeping us informed. Thank you! Jeremy

Stunning home, large but equally cozy and comfortable. Each room has its own charm and the nearby town and surrounding area is full of beautiful shops, and nature to be explored. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing weekend for our wedding anniversary. Thank you!

What an absolutely unique home. I always research until I find just the perfect listing and boy did my research pay off. Located in town but you never feel that way. So many areas outside to explore. And just as many inside. Every room is so inviting. Everything you could possibly need and what a dream of a kitchen. Our annual girls trip was one of the best. We took advantage of a few rainy days to just sit and relax , build a puzzle , watch some ice hockey and eat! I can’t wait to share my experience with everyone who follows my travels. Not one complaint . I highly recommend this rental.

This was our third time staying here and a newly constructed Great room has been added to an already beautiful home. This house had everything we could possibly want and both inside and outside have charm and character. The host was outstanding with communication and so helpful anytime I had a question. We hope to return this time next year!

This review is long overdue. We visited Mentone and stayed at Larry’s home in December 2025 following the passing of my husband’s mother. It was a terribly sad time and our stay in this lovely home was so special. It was warm, cozy, and beautifully serene. The property radiated love at every turn from the gorgeous yard, chapel, forest to the delicious space inside—with fireplaces, books, and specially decorated rooms for gathering or relaxing. Thank you for the special memory! We will never forget it.
