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.
*The hot tub is available for an additional $50. Please indicate if you would like to add this feature to your reservation so we can unlock it for you before your arrival.
*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.
*There are two other tiny homes on the property. They are both for rent as well.
*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.*

About the host
Hosted by Seth and Emmye Wilson
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.
