Wonderful as always
The perfect property for us. The cottage is cozy with charming, thoughtful delights sprinkled throughout to complement the season. The property is private and serene, and the view of Little River from the end of Al’s Nest trail is breathtakingly beautiful. We ventured into Cloudland Canyon as well on this visit and lucked up with sunshine and just enough snow on the ground make for an especially magical hike. Happy adventuring!

Annual anniversary trip
Al's Nest is, as always, the highlight of our trip to the mountains. Close enough to everything to enjoy an afternoon outing. Secluded enough to get away from it all. Comfortable, clean, and cozy.

Great Stay in the Woods
We enjoyed a mini vacation at Al’s Nest outside of Mentone, Alabama. The cabin is truly in the woods and just the right size for a couple. The fire pit is very nice, and the kitchen well equipped. If you book, be aware it is on a county road, but a dirt road. We thought surely our GPS was off, but it wasn’t.

The perfect place to be
We have stayed in this area each fall for almost ten years and this is our favorite cabin ever. It was clean and had everything that we needed. The kind sized bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the wood burning fireplace was so nice and the hot tub was really one of the best that we have experienced.

Cute little house
My husband and I stayed here for our 18th wedding anniversary. It was such a cute little house! The pictures are accurate! It was perfect for the 2 of us! Our host left us a welcome note and a sweet treat! Check in process was a breeze with no issues! There were clear directions on the checkout process provided in a notebook along with some great information on food, hiking trails and such! My only complaint is the shower was small! I will definitely recommend this house to others. Thank you to our hosts for making this a GREAT anniversary getaway!

Perfect getaway spot in the quiet woods
We loved our long weekend stay here. It was very quiet and peaceful. Everything was very clean, orderly, and comfortable. It was such a nice touch to leave us some delicious pound cake. The nearness to nature is awesome! There are lots of trails and sights nearby. The hot tub made the weekend extra relaxing. I got some incredible sleep here too, the bed was so nice. We will definitely be back! I would recommend to bring some DVDs since there is a dvd player, we will do that next time. Thank you for the lovely stay

The perfect getaway!
This cabin is amazing! It is so quiet and peaceful and the host Terrie is fabulous. The cabin was spotless and was well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed being able to hike right out the back door to some beautiful scenery, and the fireplace and hot tub just added to the relaxing experience. The towns right around are so cute and friendly with some wonderful restaurants and fun shopping. I would highly recommend this place and hope that we can return again in the future! Thank you, Terri, for sharing your cabin and your amazing pound cake!!

Perfect perfect perfect
This place was exactly what we needed for a romantic anniversary vacation. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable with really lovely touches throughout. The hosts are amazing and kind. I’m absolutely neurotic but Teri graciously answered all my questions with patience and understanding. There was enough seclusion to feel comfortable and private but not so cut off that it felt like we were completely off the grid. We’re definitely already thinking about going back next year. Also the blueberry pound cake that Teri made was phenomenal and such a lovely touch. I also have severe cinnamon allergies and she worked with me to make sure I would be safe. Cannot have been happier with our decision to rent this place.

10 Year Anniversary Long Weekend
Wonderful Cabin! Extremely clean! They had it decorated for Valentine's Day and was just the right suttle touches to not be too much. The bed was very comfortable. It got down to the mid 20s during our stay but the heater worked very well, as did the fireplace, hot water and water pressure. The hot tub was huge and very clean as well. Probably could use a new cover soon because a few pieces crumble off into the water when removing or replacing top. Not a big deal to us but I would hate for it to damage the filter. Kitchen was well stocked for a small cabin. They also provided hand soap, dawn, and few pods for the washer/dishwasher. Lots of extra blankets, games, movies, towels, robes, etc. Beautiful cupcakes that my husband really enjoyed. Host contacted us a month out to provide more details and address to plan ahead. Then day of check-in detailed driving instructions in case the GPS didn't get us there. Our GPS did fine but it did say we arrived at the destination 200yds too soon, which would have been concerning if the owner had not sent the message earlier that day since it was an abandoned house/trailer/car/camper. The cabin may be on 22 acres but it is right off the road across from a seasonal farm house and next to an cabin that is a permanent home. That is the only reason I gave the location 4 stars instead of 5. However it was extremely peaceful. It is about 25min from Fort Payne and 5min from Desoto Park. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

Al's Nest
Our 3 night stay at Al's Nest was amazing. The cottage was beyond our expectations. Upon arrival, I noticed how clean it was. From the windows to the baseboards. The cottage is decorated so cute overall, but what made it better was the Christmas decor. Terri and Todd also left us a sweet Christmas card on the stove. My husband and I really loved our hikes to the river and the fire pit. We will definitely be back next Spring to see the property in full bloom.
