Romantic Tranquil Riverfront Cottage Rushing Crystal Clear Water Best Rate

One of a kind experience! Riverfront cottage with a historic covered bridge that is private and gated within a few hundred feet of CLOUDMONT SKI SLOPES. What more could you ask for? Located near all of Mentone's attractions. Relax in the cottage that was redesigned for couples or an intimate space for two in mind - Nestled atop Lookout Mountain and overlooking the river. You can have your morning coffee on the expansive wrap around deck over looking the water, relax by a crackling fire under a blanket of bright stars, or lay listening to the rippling music of the river. A perfect getaway to enjoy each other and the soothing beauty of nature. Here's your chance to swim and frolic in the river steps away from the front door.

We only stayed one night of four that were booked. We were extremely cold and one of the rules was not to change settings. Getting in and out of the property (driveway and walkway) was dangerous.

Thank you for the review . The notice states not to go to emergency leave on auto heat or cool . The temperatures were in the 70’s . You could have used the Heat if needed . Sorry you misunderstood . We have a 24 hour service that could have answered any questions . We hope to see you soon .
