Stoneridge Cottage I - Best view and walking distance to town

“We have stayed at several cottages in the area and this is by far the best.”

“The pictures don’t do this majestic place justice.”

“There is always a little anxiety when you see something online that looks perfect but when you get there…. Looks are deceiving.! NOT THE CASE AT STONERIDGE COTTAGE I!”

“The décor makes you feel welcome from the minute you step in the front door.”

‘The cottage is beautiful and has so much history and the view is breathtaking.”

These are some of the comments from the many customer reviews we have received over the past 13 years.

Stoneridge Cottage I was designed by renown Birmingham architect, Jacob Salie, to be used as his summer home. Built in 1940, with new sections added throughout the years, this unique cottage features two suites with queen sized beds and separate sitting areas; both equally lovely. The cottage offers our guest all the comforts of home: a well-stocked kitchen, fresh linens, comfortable furniture, local art, handmade quilts, and awesome architectural features. Our guest will appreciate the exposed beams, pine floors and stone and brick interiors that take you back to a time when the materials were set by local workers proud of their craft.

This charming cottage provides our guest with the best valley views in Mentone. They can see our brilliant sunsets, distant rain storms, rolling fog and trains as they pass through the valley from the hot tub on the deck. Relax and enjoy a morning cup of coffee from our large screen porch or the many cozy spots throughout the cottage. Our prime location allows walks to town to experience unique shops and charming restaurants.

Stoneridge Cottage I offers many amenities that include:

- A flat screen TV and Blu-ray DVD player in each suite.
- DirecTV with all the movie channels.
- Wi-Fi service.
- Cell phone service is available for Verizon, AT&T and Sprint customers.
- The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including appliances, both auto drip and Keurig coffee pots with
coffee and K-cups, eating utensils, glasses and dishes, pot and pans, toaster, microwave, ice maker, Bounty paper
towels, Vanityfair napkins, sugar and sweeteners, dish washing detergent, dish cloth and drying towels.
- The bathrooms are supplied with wash cloths, bath towels, full size soap bars, hand soap and Charmin toilet paper.
- Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed, pillows, bed linens, spreads and blankets.
- On the screen porch/deck area there is a gas grill and A NEW HOT TUB that was installed on July 1, 2023 that overlook the beautiful valley and the spectacular
sunsets.

To accommodate our many guests, we have added Stoneridge Cottage II. It has the same spectacular view as cottage I. It is a one bedroom “adult only” cottage that features a “Pottery Barn” style décor with all the amenities of Stoneridge Cottage I include Wi-Fi and a screen porch and private hot tub that overlooks the valley. It has vaulted wood and beam ceilings. It is charming, comfortable and perfect for a romantic getaway for two. You can get details, view more photos and check the availability calendar of Stoneridge Cottage II at Homeaway.com/3571237.

It is the perfect location to travel to various locations in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. There is nearby Desoto Falls and Little River Canyon. There are historic Civil War battlefields located in nearby Georgia. Chattanooga, TN has unique attractions like the Tennessee Aquarium, Rock City, Point Park Battlefield, fabulous shopping, restaurants and coffee shops and exciting nightlife.

We at Stoneridge Cottages want you to know that we are continuing our practice of providing you with the cleanest rental possible. For your added protection during this COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken steps to be even cleaner by sanitizing all commonly used hard surfaces. This includes, but not limited to remote controls, counter tops, doorknobs, appliance handles, bathroom and kitchen cabinet knobs, microwave, railings, light switches, and sink and bathtub handles. And of course, we will continue to replace the icemaker ice between rentals.

Living on the brow!

I have been to Mentone several times & had never visited the brow of Lookout Mountain. What a magnificent view. I loved watching the change in the day & the weather. The cottage has views from every part of the place. You can just feel the history of the area & the cottage! Super clean, comfortable & everything you need!

What a GEM!

A little slice of heaven on earth! As Spring Break rolled in, we wanted to do something a little different. I’m not sure what I was expecting but this little cottage & its location absolutely blew my mind! The views are beautiful. Wonderful hosts, friendly town, BEST location! So much to do, only regret is not booking more days. Hope to be back this summer!

So much to love

It was my third stay in this cabin and it was just as perfect this time as it was the times before.So many touches of comfort and beauty in and out of the cottage. As always, I took so many photos of beautiful sunsets, morning fog above the valley, the train that whistles it's arrival as it crosses the valley, wildflowers, the list goes on.Truly one of my very favorite places.

Awesome place!

My wife and I loved Stoneridge Cottage! The view was amazing. We got to watch the sunset from the hot tub! The cabin was very clean, and well stocked with basic need items. The bed was very comfortable as well. The location is very convenient to Mentone Market, so food and drinks aren’t far away. We will definitely be back!

A Winter Wonderland at Stoneridge Cottage

Our stay at Stoneridge Cottage was a magical winter getaway that exceeded our expectations. Nestled in a picturesque location with stunning views, the cottage offered the perfect blend of comfort and charm. We were delighted to find that the property was just a short walk from town, allowing us to easily explore the local shops and restaurants.The cottage itself was cozy and well-appointed, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere for our group to relax and unwind after days spent enjoying the snow-covered landscape. Stoneridge Cottage offered the quintessential winter retreat experience, combining an enchanting setting with thoughtful amenities. We look forward to returning for another memorable stay in this winter wonderland!

After Thanksgiving get away

A much needed rest after a hectic time. I'll admit it took some adjusting but after the 2nd day it was great. The view of the sun moving across the valley in the early morning was heaven sent. On morning we had a Bob Cat visit outside the big window. Jerome could not have been any nicer. My wife and I are already talking about another trip.
