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.
