Cozy home in the mountains off the beaten path. If you are looking for a getaway that’s secluded yet close enough to town to grab amenities if needed, then this is your place. About 25 minutes to Fort Payne (Walmart, restaurants) and an hour to Chattanooga (zoo, aquarium, attractions like Rock City and Ruby Falls). 10-15 minutes to Desoto State Park (hiking, zip line, horseback riding). Family of four with two teenagers had a great getaway. Pond for fishing, hot tub for soaking, fire pit for roasting. Really enjoyed our stay. Host was very quick to communicate and easy access to the home.
This cabin was perfect for us! Plenty of beds and baths. A great hot tub! Cozy for family/friend time and convenient to DeSoto State Park! The host was welcoming and very responsive to my questions. We’ll definitely be back!
Enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin near DeSoto Falls, Cloudland Canyon, and Rock City. Friendly host and great proximity to beautiful parks. Highly recommend the horseback ride at Shady Grove ranch.
We had a great time. Cabin was easy to find. It was sufficiently stocked. We loved that there were board games. Beds were comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed the recliner in the living room. In sum, we enjoyed, ate, drank, & were merry. Thank you, John!
First let me so communication with the host was top notice. Our family enjoyed canoeing/ kayaking in the lake and lots of fun spent around the campfire and hot tub. One of the main attractions is only 7 minutes away and the other is 25.
Great place to stay! Everything was wonderful! Loved Mentone!

About the host
Hosted by John Milham
My father, Thomas Milham, fell in love with Mentone when he discovered the area in 2003. He grew up in Fairhope, Alabama among a family of avid sailors who owned two separate restaurants there. Being familiar with hospitality, he purchased 11 acres and over the next 8 years built 3 cabins and a 3-acre lake for visitors to come comfortably experience the natural beauty of Lookout Mountain. Sadly, he passed away in December of 2019. We often receive messages from the many regular guests who remember the one and only "Mr. Tommy" fondly.
Why they chose this property
My dad chose to purchase real estate in this beautiful mountainous area as an investment for his children and grandchildren. This property fulfilled his dreams and brought much happiness to him, our family, and the many guests who have visited over the years.
What makes this property unique
Kowaliga was built from the hardwoods that once stood in its place, which are native to the Lookout Mountain region.
