Great spot in town!

Beautiful home, even bigger in person, pics don’t do it justice. Wish there was a fire pit but otherwise great spot right in middle of town of Mentone. Host is very responsive & helpful.

Cozy Cottage

My family and I stayed at this cottage for a family vacation. The house was clean and newly renovated. New decor and bedding. All beds were extremely comfortable. The host was easy to communicate with!The website does list the home as “no pets allowed” and the owner actually does allow pets. Also, the house is next to a busy road with lots of road noise but other than that… we really enjoyed our stay! Would recommend!

Vacay girls trip

Mentone Mountain Shanty was east to get to, and the beds slept great. Been coming to Mentone for several years and love this small friendly town. Good places to eat and love shopping in Fort Payne.

Perfect retreat

The house was perfect, clean and well stocked. I didn't have purchase anything, example: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags. The owner did a very good job in ensuring that our needs were met. It was super clean and quiet. I needed a getaway, and this met all my expectations. Perfect place to unwind. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Adorable Place in Mentone

So happy we booked a stay here. The place was exactly like the pictures and it truly felt like the host thought of everything. There was so much detail in all the decoration and the house felt so cozy and cute immediately as you walked in. Loved the huge kitchen, that was a big plus for us to cook. Was super close to Mentone and an easy drive to DeSoto State Park and Fort Payne. I would love to go back!
