This cozy cottage was perfect for my family of 4. The location was ideal for easy access to everything we wanted to do from different waterfalls to shopping to watching the sunset at Brow park. This place was exactly what we needed to relax & reset in nature.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Mentone proper, you definitely should give this one a look. Great location, nice size, lovely outdoor spaces.
