Beautiful cabin in a quiet neighborhood of this cute little town. It was easy to get around to places like Cloudland Canyon, DeSoto state park, Little River Canyon, etc. The cabin was comfy and worked well for us with the 2 1/2 baths. The beds were comfortable. I slept well every night of our stay. We especially loved using the fireplace on the screened in back porch. Be aware that the Mentone restaurants are generally open on the weekends. But you can always take a short drive to Ft Payne or other nearby towns for evening meals. You can also count on the Mentone Market for ready made sandwiches, salads, and fresh made pizza. It was a relaxing stay in a beautiful area.

Great location! Love this cabin!

I go to Mentone a couple times each year and this is my 3rd stay in this cabin. It is absolutely òne of my favorite places to stay. The location is great and super close to everything, yet secluded just enough. It is perfect for a little R&R.

We had a very relaxing stay. The property was clean and comfortable. The furniture was actually comfortable. If you vrbo a lot you know this is not always the case. It was nicely decorated without a lot of knickknacks. We loved the indoor and outdoor fireplace. It's close to town but on a very quite street. We would definitely stay here again.

Fun in the mountains

Although the foliage was not so good this year because of the drought, the stay was lovely. We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace every evening in the cozy family room. We loved having a big black cast iron skillet to fry fish in one night. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was clean and comfortable. We were able get to the Market in just minutes but we still had the feeling of being "out in the woods."

GREAT BACK PORCH. DON'T FORGET TO BRING EVERYTHING you'll need....

...as if you were 'camping out' including TP, coffee & filters for the pot, and blankets. The home was clean enough. The beds are softer than we like. Unfortunately, neighborhood dogs barked non-stop during the day ~ and my only concern (as a DOG LOVER) was that they were NOT CHAINED UP on the property behind the home without water and food, etc. The neighbor's GENERATOR was extremely noisy and started up loudly every few hours all day and night. THE BACK PORCH with the fireplace was the best part of the home.

Great Stay

Overall it was a great stay and we would go back for the price. Property is in a great location and was very comfortable for our family of 3 and our dog. Our phones had no service and internet was a major issue the whole trip. The 5G only worked 1 morning out of our entire 3 days there. The regular Internet either didn’t work or was so painfully slow you couldn’t do much on it. There were some minor maintenance issues we messaged the property manager about after we left (no service to communicate while we were there). They did not respond however, so hopefully they got the info. Overall is a great cabin for the price and being so close to downtown Mentone!

The pictures clearly showed assembled beds in both suites. However, the bed was not assembled in the upstairs bedroom. The mattress was on the floor!!! Fortunately, my husband and I are fit for 77 year olds and we coped. Our friends who were staying on the main floor would not have been able to get up from the mattresses on the floor. The kitchen had limited and old cooking vessels. Minimal quantities of paper products were provided. No tissues or paper napkins were provided. The cabin itself was clean and comfortable and the design was charming.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Collins

Host profile image
My wife and I bought our beautiful second home as a vacation home to get away from the hectic pace and stress of our jobs. That was 14 years ago. Now we have 2 beautiful daughters, the focal point of our lives. This is part of the reason we decided to rent our home out, for others to enjoy the home as well as we simply don't have the opportunity to get up to the home as often as we would like. We are a family of four and do utilize and enjoy the property, unfortunately, not as much as we would love to as we moved to a different part of Atlanta.

Why they chose this property

Our home is the perfect getaway from the hectic pace of your daily job, stresses in life and provides the opportunity to "disconnect", relax and choose what events and sites to take in within the Mentone area, should you choose to do so. You are in close proximity of taking in all of the picturesque parks and events in and around Mentone, while still enjoying the privacy of not being immediately in downtown Mentone. The home is secluded yet right within the city limits. You can either walk to downtown Mentone via the sidewalk alongside Hwy. 117 or commute there via a 3 minute car ride. What also makes this home special is that is sits right across the street from the eastern section of Little River where Camp Skyline is located, within a short walking distance of the camp if you have kids attending.
