- "The cabin had just about everything we needed. The interior was almost perfect. I tried to hang a few clothes and didn’t have a closet in the room with twin beds. The only hangers I could find were wire hangers and no where to hang anything unless I used the laundry/ storage room. The cabin itself was very clean, but I had to sweep a bunch of cobwebs and leaves from the front porch… not a big deal. The cabin was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely come again and get the same cabin! "

The property was very clean and comfortable. Loved the screened in back porch." - "The cottage was perfect. Clean, great location wonderful host. Looking for a cool spot this is the one. Linda" - "We got to the house a little before check in and got to meet the owners. Very nice couple. The house was just like the pictures, the view was just what we were looking for. There was a storm the next morning after we checked in and the whole town lost power for 16 hours. We got a hotel for the night and decided to check out early. The owners were very understanding, wasn’t their fault or ours, just Mother Nature doing her thing. For the one night we stayed there it was just what we were looking for. Would recommend booking."

- "The rental was spotless. The beds were comfortable. The showerheads were high, which was nice for a tall person like myself. The wraparound porch was nice and it had many rocking chairs to sit and admire the view. We went to some waterfalls in the area, and it was also close to the Boy Scout camp, Camp Comer, where my son was working for the Summer, so we could visit him when we wanted. We also took a day trip to Rome, Georgia. It was a good break from the 100+ temperatures from where we're from! Check in was easy, and communication with the rental agency was great. We would stay here again."

Although we brought some items “just in case” The Shire was equipped with all that we could possibly need. The cabin was well organized and clean. It is evident that the property is well maintained both inside and out. Looking forward to our next visit." - "Our stay at The Shire in Mentone was wonderful! The cabin is just as described online. Rustic and very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen for cooking. The hot tub was awesome! And the securely fenced yard was perfect for our canine companion.

- "We had a wonderful time. House was amazing in every respect. Proximity to DeSoto Falls a plus. Hope to stay here again." - "The craftsmanship, love and design of this cabin welcomed us into our long weekend of R&R with our sons. We were greeted by our host, a personal touch I’ve missed since the days of COVID contact free check in. Getting to learn the story behind works of art and how to use different features was a nice start to our trip. I am an amputee and I walk by day, and must use a wheelchair user by night. Finding truly accessible lodging that meets both my needs and allows my sons to have a great trip, is incredibly difficult. I cannot that the owners enough for taking the time to go above & beyond to ensure the first floor, porch & entry are truly accessible for wheelchair users or individuals with reduced mobility. Lastly, you can easily walk from the cabin to the trail heads to go to the base of DeSoto Falls and swim, or go to the area above the falls that also had easier access to swimming."

- "Al's Nest was cute and romantic. My husband and i enjoyed our stay. I can't decide if the bed or hot tub was the best. It was so cozy. The owners even had pound cake for us. I would recommend this place to anyone." - "Lovely home. Just as presented in the VRBO description. So well stocked and spotless. The cottage is perfect for a couple, close to Mentone, the state park and Ft Payne. We will definitely be back for more relaxing weekends!"

I'm searching for a charming, beautifully decorated cottage designed for two—peaceful, intimate, and nestled near hiking trails that lead into a breathtaking State or National Park. The space should be non-smoking and pet-free, offering a serene retreat. Ideally, I'd love to hear the distant sound of a train whistle drifting through the valley, adding to the ambiance. A private campfire and a grill would make the experience even better, perfect for quiet evenings under the stars. And if nature allows, I'd be delighted to see deer gracefully roaming near a nearby pond. I know this might be a tall order, but I’m confident this hidden gem exists—if you find it, please pencil me in!

- "This place was quite a find! My husband and I found this place while looking for somewhere to stay for a wedding. It was perfect for a weekend trip! Bobbie was an awesome host and kept great communication with us. The cottage is cozy, well maintained and beautiful! It felt like staying inside a doll house. Very charming and decorated to the tee. The nature was stunning, and we enjoyed the wonderful views from the windows and porch. We enjoyed cuddling up on the big leather couch and watching a movie on our last night. We were certainly sad to go, but happy that we got to experience this wonderful cottage."

"We could really use a peaceful escape—somewhere simple, relaxing, and free from distractions. A cozy little cottage in the woods sounds perfect, where we can unwind without tasks, to-do lists, or chores. Ideally, it would be near a pond or hiking trails, offering the chance to explore nature or even play games in an open field. The space should be non-smoking and pet-free, ensuring a clean and tranquil retreat. A grill and a fire pit would make it even better, allowing us to roast marshmallows and enjoy quiet evenings beneath the stars. If possible, finding a spot adjacent to a national park with hiking trails would be incredible. And affordability is key—if we could make it work for three nights, we’d return truly refreshed. If you come across this hidden gem, let me know!"

- "Very quiet and peaceful. We had a relaxing time. The owners was very nice and welcoming" - "Me and my wife stayed the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. It was great to sit and relax on the porch, fish in the pond, and see the falls just a few minutes away. Glad we had cool neighbors, no issues sharing the fire pit area and fishing in the pond. It was worth the price in our opinion and would give it our recommendation." - "Loved it"

- "Beautiful property. Loved everything about it." - "We loved feeling secluded. Even though there were homes nearby, you didn’t feel like it. You couldn’t see them. The stars were incredible. The porch was a great place to enjoy in the afternoon and evening. It was so clean and beautiful." - "A lovely home nestled away atop the ridge line of the Appalachian foothills. Very clean and well-appointed, with a magnificent screened-in porch! And dog friendly! Would definitely bring my family again."

Cozy cottage nestled in the woods with large screened in porch to listen to the birds. Bedrooms have blackout blinds for a prefect night sleep. Fire pit for evenings with the family. Only one mile to Mentone brow park to watch beautiful sunsets. We have games for the rainy days. Fully stocked kitchen. We are 1.4 miles from Lil Mole Run golf course, and best of all a private creek to walk and enjoy all to yourself. This is a new property and the yard is still in progress, thank you for your understanding.

- "Awesome. Owner answered phone promptly. Provided a basket of goodies and fresh vegetables for grilling. Woke up to a deer outside bedroom window. The stream was lovely to walk to and explore. Screened in porch was a great place to read my Bible and pray. Quiet place to enjoy nature and time with friends." - "This is an awesome property! It's brand new, and is decorated beautifully. We stayed for the weekend and everything was just perfect. We are planning on making this a annual trip. Look no further for the perfect Mentone stay!"

"I'm dreaming of a cozy little cottage, tucked away near stunning parkland. I don’t need much—just the essentials: a comfortable bed, a bathroom, a small kitchen for preparing meals, and maybe a screened porch where I can sit outside and soak in the surroundings. A non-smoking, pet-free space is a must, and a small campfire would be the perfect touch for unwinding under the stars. I've heard Mentone is a hidden gem, a true escape into nature, and that sounds exactly like what I want. The thought is exciting—does such a place exist?
And if there’s a water feature, like a small pond for fishing, that would be even better."

- "The cottage was beautiful, clean and comfortable and the property it sits on its absolutely breathtaking-my husband and I enjoyed hiking the trail and sitting on the screened in porch each morning and evening just taking in the peace of it all. Bobbie was amazing at contacting me before arrival to provide details and stayed in touch through the weekend to make sure everything was perfect. The beautiful cottage and area provided the perfect getaway."

- "A great place to relax, very cozy and clean. The beds were super comfortable, with soft pillows. It was furnished with everything we needed to have a wonderful mini vacation. We all agreed we’d stay here again and recommend it to friends." - "Wonderful time staying at the Shanty. Everything you needed was covered. Had no real plans and the house was just a great place to hang out. Loved just hanging out on the front porch. Thanks Shannon for a great weekend. We will be back soon."

"I'm hoping to find a cozy retreat tucked away in the woods—a place that feels like a true escape. A fully-equipped kitchen would be ideal, so we can prepare our own meals, though the idea of dining out sounds tempting too. It would be fantastic if hiking trails were nearby, allowing us to step right into nature without even getting in the car. A campfire for quiet evenings under the stars would make the experience even better. And I know I might be dreaming, but if the place offers a serene view of a pond, that would be the perfect touch. If you come across something like this, count me in!" Welcome to your home away from home—a cozy **Canadian-themed flat** that wraps you in warmth like a woolen Hudson’s Bay blanket. Thoughtfully styled with rustic textures, plaid accents, and subtle nods to the Great White North, the space invites you to unwind with the quiet charm of a log cabin—but with all the comfort of modern living.

- "This was an amazing experience. 10 out of 10. We will be back. The site was incredible and our property manager was excellent!" - "Perfect little town to spend a quiet weekend getaway! Bobby was a delight and so sweet! The room is just the right size for a couple wanting to get away. You won’t be disappointed in your stay." - "What a cozy, comfortable, and affordable place to stay. Bobbie was a gracious host that provided outstanding hospitality. This flat is located in a beautiful and serene area surrounded by nature. Everything is a close drive, such as Desoto Falls and Mentone town. If you are looking for a cost getaway, this is your place. Just make sure you grab your necessities before nestling in because this is a remote area with the next town 15-20 minutes away."

There’s a reason why it's named "The Overlook." While you're relaxing in the outdoor hot tub on the large covered porch, you'll be awestruck with the views of the valley below and the mountains of Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia! Getting back to nature to soothe your soul is simply amazing! As you enter the home, you'll notice the cottage feel. Modern rustic with whimsical touches, the living room is comfortably adorned for watching the flat-screen TV or enjoying the gas log fireplace.

Upstairs, two Queen bedrooms with large bathroom with tub/shower.

A local downtown area offers shopping and dining and is a great day-trip, while your evenings can be spent watching the breathtaking sunset from the hot tub, enjoying the cozy fireplace, or sharing memories around the fire pit. Where else can you have it all and detach from the world in your own little bubble of natural beauty?

- "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!"
