The view was so beautiful! The home was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a short stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to stay in Mentone. Thank you for the great memories oh and the being in the hot tub at night staring up at the stars was delightful!
Amazing views! Home was super clean and comfortable. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing. Highly recommend making the drive to the Hilton in McLemore for dinner at Auld Alliance. Best food around!

Amazing views
The cabin was very nice and very clean, but the views the deck were exceptional. Two of three early mornings were a sea of clouds below the cabin with only scattered peaks and distant mountain ranges peeking through with an assortment of birds providing a background of sound. The evenings presented gorgeous sunsets sprinkling various color hues on the clouds above. The morning and evening views alone made our first trip to this area worthwhile.

stunning view / clean place / centrally located / amazing trip
We were in the area for a conference at Cloudland Resort and chose to stay here instead. It is one of the most beautiful views you will ever see of one of the most stunning parts of the country. The place was very clean, TVs all worked, furniture nice, patio equipped, etc... The hot tub is immaculate. I would STRONGLY recommend this place to anyone look for a fun trip in the heart of this part of the country. We have talked about returning despite no future conferences bringing us to area!

Stay looking over valley
Cute, efficient new cottage. Decorated for Fall. Pet friendly with dog water bowls included! We enjoyed our stay.
The New Overlook was a nice escape just to relax and unwind. My cousins and I enjoy our short stay here. Mentone is very welcoming. We shopped and at lunch at Mentone Market. The pizzas are so good. We also picked apples at Little River Orchard and I can't wait to return just for the apples.

Very comfortable house. Unbelievably beautiful view!! Wonderful stay all around!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay celebrating my birthday. We love the town of Mentone and the beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails. This house is gorgeous, but it is topped by the incredible view! We will be back!

Southern travel at its finest
What a pleasure it was to stay at the Overlook. The pictures do not do the Lookout Mountain View justice. Truly spectacular beauty, seeing a sunset here and an incoming storm was just awe-inspiring. This place was so cozy and clean and was the perfect spot for me and my family and our dog, Judy.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
We really enjoying our time at the cabin. We love sitting on the desk eating dinner and watching the sun go down over the mountains. Also enjoyed the hot tube with the view. It's a very comfortable and cozy. Once we get there we did not leave until check out. Everything you need is right they. I can not wait to go back.

Fantasic Cabin!
Best place to stay in Mentone! The beds are very comfortable! All 5 of us slept amazingly each night. We enjoyed the Keurig and making our coffee, and then we would sit on the porch to watch the sunrise! We brought our two dogs and they LOVED hanging out on the porch! We would get in the hot tub at night while the dogs looked out the porch railings. The washer and dryer was fantastic too! We enjoyed walking several miles in the morning from the cabin. It was the best location! We will definitely stay here again soon!
My husband & I along with another couple stayed in The Outlook from Friday to Sunday. It was the perfect place! We loved the house, the location, the amenities, the cleanliness and the decor. We hope to visit again! As for Mentone, the shops were fun to visit & see all the creativity and arts. The Wildflower Cafe is a MUST as well as The Hatter. Mentone is a small quaint town that allows you somewhat be unconnected from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Definitely recommend The Outlook in Mentone.

BEAUTIFUL cabin with an SPECTACULAR view!!
This cabin was absolutely PERFECT for us to get away for a relaxing weekend! All the comforts of home were provided for a truly enjoyable stay. Since it was just the two of us, we didn’t use the bedrooms upstairs, but the king bed downstairs was very comfortable. We really appreciated the reclining sofa in the den, too - great for watching movies at night! And the view!! We could’ve sat on the spacious deck for days just taking it all in. It was so peaceful and quiet on top of the mountain. We’ve found our new favorite getaway and are looking forward to our return!
