About this property

Home Above Waterfall - Whimsical Waterfall Cottage

Whimsical, eclectic tiny home nestled above the waterfall at Blueberry Falls Farm, a u-pick blueberry farm in Mentone, AL. Soak in the hot tub while enjoying the views of the waterfall and creek. Roast marshmallows in the porch`s wood burning fireplace while watching a movie or catching tonights big game.

A short walk away, there is an overlook bridge and roof top deck to enjoy views of the waterfall and pond as well as a game room below with foosball, crafts, and playstation.

Escape to a whimsy cottage above a waterfall and creek with several amenities for kids, pets, and adults to enjoy. The Whimsical Waterfall Cottage has a queen bed on the main floor and two full beds in the loft (the loft is not a walkable space, about 4ft high). The porch has a hot tub available for a $50 fee, a wood burning fireplace, an outdoor TV above the fireplace, charcoal grill, and serene water views. Hammocks and outdoor games are also available for your enjoyment.

A short walk away there is a community space with an overlook bridge and roof top deck to enjoy views of the waterfall, Blueberry Falls, and pond as well as a game room, The Creek House Lounge, below with foosball, crafts, and playstation. A bathhouse with two showers and two bathrooms are also available for guest to use during their stay.

During blueberry season (Late June to Early/Mid-August), guest are welcome to pick blueberries to enjoy with breakfast or to take home. If you are booking in July, please be aware that we have our annual blueberry festival the second weekend of July and most weekends we will be open for our u-pick blueberry events.

There is a two car parking space in front of the home.

We are available 24/7 if you need anything during your stay via Airbnb or call/text your host, Seth. If I don`t answer immediately, leave me a voicemail or text me and I will get back with ASAP.

The Whimsical Waterfall Cottage is on 6 acres with a blueberry farm, small waterfall, and pond. We have a beautiful and safe area to escape to Lookout Mountain, Al and explore the nearby town of Mentone. Within a 30 minute radius, there are 4 state parks to hike and enjoy mountain views. The cottage is one of three tiny homes in our tiny home village. It has it`s own private amenities but the rest of the property is shared with the owners and other guests.

Any type of car will do to get you from the cottage to town. Inside the cottage, we have a binder with things to do and resources for your convenience. The local newspaper, `The Groundhog` is also located within the cottage with a calendar of events happening in our area. Plan one of your stays around The Rhododendron and Color Fest in Mentone, AL to enjoy live music and over 60 artists and food vendors.

*You can bring your pets for an additional pet fee. They must be included in the reservation and we must be notified prior to your arrival.

*Blueberry Season is from mid-June to late August. During this time, we will have the blueberry bushes open to the public for our U-pick season. The houses are separate from the bushes but please be aware of this if you are coming during blueberry season.

*During the Spring, Summer, and Fall I will be doing landscaping on Thursday morning/afternoon. This includes mowing, weed eating, and blowing around the houses.

*PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ACTIVE FARM. I work at the property myself most days. I bring our dog Maggie when I come to work. She is friendly, but will bark at cars. I assure you though, she will not harm you in any way. If it ever is a problem, I am always glad to keep her inside with me.
*Thank you in advance for your understanding and compliance with the rules.*

Wonderful Experience!

Our first time to Mentone and it was wonderful. My husband and I came for a weekend getaway and just to relax and this was a great environment to do so. The farm is so cute and before the end of the weekend we were already planning to come back with our kids so they could experience the game room and state parks close by!

Even though it is the middle of summer, the temperature was so incredible. Family enjoyed the cottage life, the porch (especially during such pleasant evenings, the hot tub, the game room, and especially the blueberry picking within 100 ft from our cottage. Really comfortable accommodations in every way. Would love to see an 11am checkout but everything was perfect.

Beautiful scenery, liked the water. The property was unkept. It did not look like the owners were expecting anyone. There was cobwebs all over the decks along with limbs, debris, and insects. The outdoor area was the same. It did not look like anyone had stayed there in many months. There was bugs inside as well. One in the bath. It just looked like it needed a proper cleaning and maintenance.

Don't pass this one by

If you like being out of crowded places and love nature this is the place for you. We are outside people and loved staying here. We enjoyed the porch with the fireplace so much we had a hard time leaving. Listening to the night sounds and watching lightening bugs was relaxing. Having a fire in the fireplace was so relaxing. And there are firepits on the property. Although we didn't use the grill it was available. We were blessed to see two baby bluebirds leave their nest and see baby rabbits in the driveway. Our last night the moon was almost full and smiling down on the whole area. Slept like babies at night and generally had a relaxing vacation away. We ighly reccoment this spot.

Pleasant house in beautiful setting

We enjoyed our stay in a pretty wooded setting. The house is decorated creatively and cheerfully. The covered porch is very comfortable. A glitch upon arrival was not being provided a code to open the property’s gate, which seems newly installed. We were surprised that loft has a low ceiling (3-4 ft.?). Great for children but not ideal for our 6’ tall friends that shared the house with us. The photos do show the loft, but we somehow didn’t notice the ceiling height. Adding this note to the description would be helpful. We and the friends that stayed there with us are all dog-lovers. Our even brought their dog. However, someone else’s dog barked non-stop for many hours, for a couple of days. That grew tiresome. We were glad when the dog finally came and sat with us on the porch and stopped barking. Overall the place is lovely.

A lovely, small cabin with lots of comforts, nice touches, and efficiencies all around. Lovely aesthetic. The kitchen was great, the hot tub was excellent, the rec room was fun, the blueberries were gorgeous and tasty, and the surrounding nature was just perfect. We felt very taken care of by the hosts. Local Mentone Market, Arts Center, and Elevation Bistro were faves. Visited Brow Park for sunset and hiked at DeSoto Falls. A great, low-key getaway.

Such a sweet little spot!

The Whimsical Waterfall Cottage at Blueberry Falls Farm was such a fun little getaway! We had the best time picking the scrumptious & plentiful blueberries! We stayed out til dark picking and glad we did, because we got to experience all the magically lit chandeliers in the trees on our walk back to the cottage. The cottage itself is very cozy with all the essentials. The bed was super comfy! It’s definitely a treat to stay there in blueberry season.

Why they chose this property

Emmye and Seth found this property in the early part of 2021. From the moment we stepped foot on it, we knew it was a special place. You can truly escape for a few days and take in everything that it has to offer. Open up the windows and listen to Blueberry Falls just below the bungalow. Take a walk in between the rows of more than 400 blueberry bushes on site. Explore downtown Mentone and all of the wonderful outdoor activities available less than 30 minutes from the house. Or just kick back by the outdoor fireplace on the porch and just take in the nature around you. If you are looking to unplug and escape the city for a few days, this is the place for you.
