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.

Long weekend for hiking and relaxing

Everything was wonderful! We loved staying here. The cabin is beautiful and convenient to Mentone and Desoto State Park. Check in and out was very easy and we enjoyed being able to relax in hot tub after long day of hiking.

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!

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.

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.

Second Stay

Every thing here is clean, cozy and calm. It’s our second visit and we would be delighted to stay again. We enjoy strolling to the nearby stream and this year hiked to the bottom of Desoto Falls which we highly recommend.
