Unwind at the end of the day with a soothing soak under the stars in the jacuzzi on the back deck, or a tell stories and share laughs around the fire pit in the back yard.

Quiet Getaway
My family (my husband, our 3 kids, my parents, and me) came for 6 days. Every single one of us enjoyed our stay. It was beautiful, quiet, clean, and comfortable. The hot tub, lake, and porch swing beds were well loved features. We began discussing when we could return within the first few days!

Great Little Getaway
This was just what we needed to recharge our batteries. Perfect for a couple or small family. Only challenge was getting to the cabin as the roads had large potholes but once there it was the perfect retreat. Would recommend to friends!

Nice relaxing family vacation!
The cabin was cozy and clean. You do have quite a few neighbors around, however this cabin probably had the most privacy. There is plenty of space for parking. There is a lake for fishing and you have to walk on the side yard of the cabin located in front of you to get to it. It's a shared lake with multiple cabins located around the lake. The cabin is in a great location to access Fort Payne, and Chattanooga. The larger bedroom is downstairs and the others are up a flight of steep upstairs. There is no privacy with the beds up stairs, that rooms are all open. The downstairs bedroom is small but comfortable. There seems to be a issue with the plumbing when you flush the toilet or take a shower. It makes a loud noise. My family and I would laugh every time someone flushed the toilet because it sounded like a steamboat for a few seconds. Perhaps the owners should take a look at this issue. The back door ramp looks newly built but the wooden deck around the hot tub is super slippery when wet due to mildew. Overall the property and cabin are great. Perfect little vacation for a small family.

Cozy and convenient family gathering
The rustic and friendly cabin is the picturesque vibe one expects while staying in Mentone. We loved the jacuzzi, bed swing upstairs and the space(3 stories). It was nice to be within a few minutes to downtown Mentone, DeSota Falls, the park for trails, and even the Dollar General and Dollar Tree. The only closed off bedroom is the master, which was a bit of an adjustment, but there is plenty of space for bedding down. I would recommend this vrbo. Thank you!

Best Vacation!
We had a great time at this wonderful cabin in Mentone. There is a pond for boating and fishing, great local restaurants nearby, and quick access to the Desoto State Park. The cabin is located in a very quiet and peaceful area. The town of Fort Payne is not too far away for more activities, shopping and museums. We look forward to our next visit!
