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.

Annual anniversary trip

Al's Nest is, as always, the highlight of our trip to the mountains. Close enough to everything to enjoy an afternoon outing. Secluded enough to get away from it all. Comfortable, clean, and cozy.

The perfect place to be

We have stayed in this area each fall for almost ten years and this is our favorite cabin ever. It was clean and had everything that we needed. The kind sized bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the wood burning fireplace was so nice and the hot tub was really one of the best that we have experienced.
