Wonderful location! The cottage is lovely, spacious, clean, well-stocked, peaceful and cozy. Loved all the details like the stained glass window, art, and flowers. Our favorite thing was the proximity to the waterfall. Great location for hiking and enjoying God’s beautiful creation.

Host was very welcoming. He provided directions, walked us through door locks, tv controls, etc., and was quite hospitable. The cottage was wonderful. The open concept downstairs, with the large windows, was beautiful and a great place to spend time. The upstairs loft area was a perfect place for our young boys to play but still be close by. Overall the best part, by far, of the stay was the location, with DeSoto Falls only being a couple of minutes away. We walked there every day to spend time by the waterfall, it was amazing.

The host greeted us to explain features of the cabin and specific artwork in the home. His tour was a fascinating start to our stay. I can’t rave enough about the comfort of the bedding in the upstairs bedroom. My friend said she slept wonderfully in the downstairs bedroom.
Path close to the cabin.
Easy to use dishwasher for those who have back problems and can’t bend down easily.
Also easy to use appliances which don’t require excessive bending to use.

I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Mentone!!! You can hear and see Desoto Falls and you're no more than 100 feet from the cliff's edge!! It took me weeks to find the right spot for our vacation and man, did I hit the jackpot!!!The cottage is SUPER CLEAN and the host has really taken great care of it!!! It is also very comfortable and has enough modern amenities that you can enjoy your stay, but also get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.Our host was super nice and very informative and gave us some great advice on where to eat in the area.This cottage is very convenient to everything in the area, plus you can practically "stub your toe and fall into the Desota Falls State Park parking lot" (Host's words! Very true!) :-) We enjoyed our stay here so much, we've already booked it for two more trips in the next three months! Enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Collins

Host profile image
This property has been in our family since 1945 at which time the owner’s original cabin was built. The owners live in the original cabin. Our goal in developing rentals is to share what we have treasured for years.
There are now two additional rental units with parking on the estate.
“The Cliff House”on the canyon rim faces the basin and falls. “Canyon Falls Cottage” faces the woods with views of the falls and canyon from the property. There is a view of the falls from the upstairs bedroom in winter which is partially obscured in spring and summer.
The two cabins can be rented together or separately.
No matter the season, one is beckoned to return to this property due to the magic of a spiritual experience at this ancient geological treasure.

Why they chose this property

There is no other place like this on Lookout Mountain, and you will experience the premiere view in all of Appalachia. After experiencing the energy of your first journey here, you will be destined to return and certainly always welcome.

What makes this property unique

The photographs of views from this property are very popular in guides and venues in the area, but your view from this estate is yours all day long. No picture can capture the magnificence of this natural wonder. The beauty and roar of the falls will be embeddd in your memory forever.
You will not want to see your journey end; so we know you will be rejoicing when you return.
