Weekend with the family

Absolutely great accommodations, the view is great and you are really in a wonderful secluded setting. The children had a great time as well. We definitely look forward to staying here again, can’t imagine there is any other rental that is as clean and as accommodating as this. Thanks so much for making sure our stay was enjoyable!!

Just what we were looking for!

Our stay was the perfect quiet getaway. We wanted something secluded but close to hiking trails and waterfalls. The cabin was clean and inviting. Plenty of space and comfortable. The property manager was very friendly and helpful and easy to get in touch with. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Time

My family and I stayed for 3 nights. We had such an amazing time. It was like a second home. The cabin was clean and cozy. Everything we needed was there. We set and watched deer feed in the front yard from the porch. We definitely plan on returning in the near future.

Love Moon Lake Lodge

This is a beautiful home surrounded by woods and with wildlife strolling through the front yard. So peaceful that it is easy to unwind and unplug, even with wifi available. Very spacious house with little decks outside each bedroom plus a large screened porch with rocking chairs and a table for outdoor dining. Has all sorts of little touches to make it comfortable, from binoculars and marshmallow roasting skewers to throws, books, and board games. We enjoyed the fire pit as well. Nisa is a great hostess and was easy to reach for any questions or needs. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect mountain retreat

If you are looking for a mountain getaway at a cabin close enough to Atlanta to justify a quick weekend away but quiet enough to leave the city feeling far behind, this is your place! My family and I loved the seclusion, the view, the screened-in-porch, the fire pit, the hammock, the proximity to Clouldand Canyon....Moon Lake Lodge delivered on numerous fronts. And did we mention the hammock? My kids are still talking about it! Nisa was a very responsive and accommodating host. We would highly recommend Moon Lake Lodge and can’t wait for an opportunity to go back.

Great cabin and overall experience

This is my first visit to the area but hopefully not my last. The property owner was a joy to work with, very accommodating and customer focused. The lodge was easy to get to and close to many parks for hiking as well as the charming town of Mentone, AL. The lodge has everything you need. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The beds were comfy and the linens were very nice. The owner was very thoughtful in making sure guests have a great stay. The Smart tv and WiFi were a plus. We enjoyed the fireplace as well. You will not be disappointed with this rental. Thank you for a great experience.

Perfect place to stay

My family stayed at the Moon Lake Lodge on December 26-29 and we had a wonderful time. We have 6 members of our family and we had plenty of room. The lodge is decorated perfectly to fit the area with plenty of space and extremely clean. The view from the screened porch is beautiful. I enjoyed sitting on the porch each morning enjoying the view with a cup of coffee. Beds were extremely comfortable with flannel sheets. We enjoyed family time in the large living room with the wood burning fireplace each night. The owner was very helpful and was ready to answer any question during our stay.Our family visits Mentone once a year and Moon Lake Lodge will be our first choice when finding a place to stay for future visits.

A very nice fall getaway

This property is very nice! Props to the host for great communication and keeping the place looking good. We loved the area, even with a drought/burn ban. It was so quiet and relaxing. Everything seemed to work well; the kitchen was stocked with what we needed, lots of blankets, the heat was nice, the balconies were nice and we even saw dear! The only downfall was the water, being well water the iron content and smell of sulphur wasn't pleasant. I know that's not something that the owners have any control over, so that doesn't make me change my rating. We easily came down from Chattanooga to the cabin, traveled just 10 minutes to Mentone, and had a great hike at Cloudland Canyon. It's worth the stay

Family Gathering

We enjoyed our time at Moon Lake. While we were gathering for a sad event (burying my father's ashes), it was a very enjoyable and familial time. We had everything we needed and were able to take care of meals and laundry easily. There was a lovely table set with welcome snacks and water bottles, which was an unexpected treat. The view was very lovely, but as it was November and cold, we did not get to enjoy the view from the wonderful screened-in porch. Very private and welcoming. The water is very hard, so it would be good to bring your own bottled water. The host was very prompt in responding to questions and communicating quickly with us. And it was extremely close to where we needed to be, so that was an extra plus!

Secluded Tranquility, Exceeded Expectations!!!

There were no disappointments with our stay at Moon Lake Lodge. It actually exceeded our expectations. Sometimes when you rent a property, you show up and it is not as advertised or your basically in someone's back yard. Moon lake lodge was exactly as advertised. The communication with Anissa was great. We loved the property and we didn't need or want for anything. My grand kids loved the lodge as well and the hammock was a big hit!! There was severe weather the last night we were there and Anissa was quick to check on us and make sure we were OK and if we needed anything. The Lodge was perfect, the view was awesome, and we plan to return as soon as possible. Thank you so much Anissa for your hospitality and sharing the Moon Lake Lodge with us!!

Fall family getaway

This was the second time our family of four has stayed at the lodge. It’s a perfect spot for spending time relaxing by the fire and also to explore the local area (hiking at Cloudland Canyon and Little River Canyon, dining at the Wildflower Cafe, Christmas ornament shopping at Eddie’s Florist). We enjoyed another great visit!

I have stayed in many homes, but this one was the best by far. Nestled in the forest, private, a fantastic view, the porch, the house... I couldn't have enjoyed it more. Also very close to Mentone and DeSoto State Park plus other great surprises!
