About this property

Log Inn to your vintage vacation experience.

Authentic 1950's log cabin in the town of Mentone.
Sidewalk at the front door. Walk to stores, artist's shops & restaurants. Nearby activities include golf, a ski slope, a state park, camping, hiking along rivers & waterfalls.
Private deck on the Little River a short walk away.
The cabin has 2 bedrooms, a King & a Queen/2 baths and two full size futons . Sleeps 8.
60” TV in the living room and another one in the Den.

Pet-Friendly, (an additional $35 cleaning fee is required).

The cabin has plenty of room to spread out and relax in front of the native stone, wood burning fireplace in the living room or the gas logs in the den. Need a place to cheer your sports teams or watch a movie? There is a 60” TV over the living room fireplace and another one in the Den.
We are conveniently located less than 1 mile from historic downtown Mentone. We are walking distance to 3 summer camps and steps away from artisan shops.

A leisurely 4 minute walk brings you to the private deck on the Little River. Your own swimming hole averages 4 1/2 feet deep. The deck is supported by an old stone boathouse that has a laid stone floor extending into the river. Nature has provided a bank cut perfect for launching so bring your kayak.
In less than 10 miles, you have 7 restaurants, 4 are less than a mile. Many allow "brown-bagging" and others serve adult beverages.

There is so much opportunity for outdoor fun. Swimming, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, biking, rock climbing, bird watching or just relaxing and let the birds watch you.
Downtown Mentone houses eclectic artist's and antique shops. There are more antique shops in the surrounding towns a short distance away.

Grandchildren Christmas Adventure

The property was great and very well stocked. Washer/dryer worked well. My only complaint was not being able to get the address earlier. We spent the day at Desoto Park with no cell service and had difficulty getting directions

Cozy stay in an autumn wonderland

We really enjoyed our stay at the Log Inn. It's very spacious with lots of room for a large family of 6 or so, and everything was very clean. The property is spacious and well-cared for and check-in/check-out was a breeze. It's very close to fantastic food, shops, and artisans. Perfect for a weekend stay while the leaves are changing!

Nice log house

The Log Inn is very much as described. It seems old. The floors are somewhat uneven and squeaky. But that lens some vintage charm. The layout is as if the house was added on to over years. It would sleep 4 comfortably. 6-8 with no crowding. A nice retreat for a long weekend.

This property is in a perfect location. Easy to walk to Mentone Market and also perfect if you have a pup as the sidewalk is perfect for walks.

Quaint and comfortable

Space was more than adequate for our group of three, including one couple. Bed options worked well, with one king and one queen. Two bathrooms. We enjoyed relaxing in one of several sitting areas. Wood paneled walls were beautiful but did make it somewhat dark. Btw, the property is lovely! We drove down the block and checked out deck on the river, but did not take advantage of this feature, it was just too hot during our visit, plus we were concerned about biting insects. As far as the 4 star instead of 5 for checkin process, when we arrived we couldn’t get the code to work. As it turns out, sometimes the deadbolt sticks so a little extra maneuver is required, or just use another door. Of course, we didn’t know this and had no cell service (Verizon), walked to hardware store a short distance away and used Wi-Fi to call Susan for assistance. It all worked out fine but was a bit of a hassle, especially after a fairly long day driving and desiring happy hour! FYI… once inside we were able to login to Wi-Fi and use phones with no problem at all. Thanks Susan! The Log Inn was comfy and we enjoyed our stay. If you like quaint and vintage then this spot will suit you well!

Log cabin like in an old movie

A great quiet stay in a wonderful neighborhood! The ‘log inn’ looks and feels like it was taken out of an old west or settlers movie. Near many outdoor activities, wonderful local markets and restaurants but not terribly far from modern grocers and fast food if you really have to be boring. The locals are friendly and kind and the parks are great. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great location and comfortable stay

Enjoyed the home, Mentone Market, and Moon lake trading company. The falls were beautiful as was the canyon drive. Visited 1882 antiques and ate at the restaurant in Fort Payne. Host was the best! We’ll be back in the late fall!

Great place!

We loved our stay at the log inn. We had so much room to spread out. And I have never stayed in a VRBO that was so clean ! Amazing! The grounds were absolutely beautiful and had so many things blooming. We loved sitting outside at the table and chairs as well as on the screened in porch when it rained. We did walk down to the overlook on the river and really enjoyed that. Location is great! It was so close to the venue we needed to go to. If I had to say anything else about the location, it is on a very busy road, but being able to go around to the back for the driveway was super nice. And inside you did not hear the road noise. Overall, a great place to stay!
