About this property
Great Location. Walking distance. Original Character with updates.
Charming, Relaxing, and did I mention Location?! Originally built in 1940, with the heart-pine walls, floors & ceilings still intact. Quaint "wavy board"/live edge timber exterior from local sawmill. 2BR/1BA. Fully furnished including those inviting rockers on the perfect front porch (with cedar railings by local artisan Jeff Rymer). 2-car carport. Property plumbing and wiring updated during a remodel in 2004. Great yard including what is perhaps the prettiest native holly tree in Mentone!
What makes this place so great is how easy it is to walk next door to the market if I need anything. I also love that I can walk to and from dinner if I choose.
There are multiple options for coffee in the mornings. There is a coffee maker for traditional coffee grounds (medium or coarse) and also a Keurig option for K-Cups. Coffee grounds and K-Cups are not always provided so we recommend bringing your own.
The carport is equipped with a Tesla High Power Wall Connector for Tesla Electric Vehicles.

About the host
Hosted by Wessley Uptagrafft
I currently live in Huntsville, AL where I work full time. I am a Cloud Automation Engineer (Computer/Tech stuff! haha). The photo above is of a quick hike to Desoto Falls, less than 10 minutes from the cabin. I love to travel and fell in love with Mentone because of it's great food, friendly people, and natural beauty. Also, because it is not a very far drive from home. I am an Alabama Native.
Why they chose this property
I took a trip to Mentone in the winter of 2018-2019 and enjoyed it so much that I decided to explore getting a property there. When I got home I saw that this property had just listed and I was already in love with the location and the front porch so I decided to look into it. Fast forward to now and I am a happy owner of my own little getaway that I look forward to sharing with others.
What makes this property unique
Location Location Location. Walking distance to everything. Market right next door if you want to a few groceries or get the sudden urge to cook a nice meal or breakfast.
