Wonderful Host! Very private and away from the hussle and bussle. We were greeted with fresh danish and information of things to do in the surrounding area. Loved exploring the property and hiking the trail down to little river. Already planning our next trip.

After more than15 years of visiting Mentone this was the best place yet! We will be back very soon! Perfect secluded cottage. Beautifully decorated and cozy…with the perfect touches of fall. The freshly homemade muffins to welcome us was a perfect touch.

Perfect little getaway for our anniversary weekend. Very clean and cozy. The Fall decor was so cute. Loved being able to get in the hot tub at the end of the day or sit by the firepit. Our host also left us some delicious muffins and treats. The property isn't too far away from Fort Payne or the restaurants and shops in Mentone. We enjoyed getting to hike to Desoto Falls, and at the end of our trip we ate our lunch at Brow Park with a beautiful view from Lookout Mountain.

This property lived up to all positive reviews that I read about before booking it for our stay. It was very clean, cozy and smelled absolutely wonderful when we walked in the door. The directions were spot on to Google maps. It was quiet and comfortable. I plan on booking it again at a later date. And the homemade blueberry muffins were very delicious. Many thanks to our host for the great job they did on this place.

Our favorite stay in Mentone! We absolutely love this cabin. It’s just perfect for a couple! Comfortable bed, cozy practical kitchen and dining area and living space with a fireplace! Nice closets and storage. This always is nice so that your things aren’t in the way. It is in a great location far enough out to be perfectly peaceful and quiet, but close to activities around the area. We live the screened porch and hot tub. And aldi the outdoor seating space. Shower is small but worked fine for us. There is a nice big laundry room with full size washer and dryer. The dryer was a little ornery, but I think the owners are going to replace it. This is our second time to stay here. We will always look for availability for Al’s Nest when we come to the area.

Everything was wonderful! We loved staying here. The cabin is beautiful and convenient to Mentone and Desoto State Park. Check in and out was very easy and we enjoyed being able to relax in hot tub after long day of hiking.
