FAQ's...

EARLY CHECK-IN & LATE CHECKOUT OPTIONS
We are at the mercy of the calendar! The only way to guarantee early check-in is by booking the night before. If you want to take a gamble, you can wait until 24 hours before check-in to see if our schedule allows for it. If a guest is checking out the day of your arrival or if we have scheduled maintenance, early check-in may not be possible.
Late checkout will depend on the number of hours requested and if there is another guest coming that afternoon.

Is there a GROCERY STORE nearby?
The closest grocery stores are located in Fort Payne, Alabama: Walmart, Food City, Bruce's Foodland.
Our small downtown, Mentone, has the Mentone Market which has eggs, milk, and delicious pizza.

Great getaway

Me and my wife live about an hour away from this cabin but it was awesome to getaway from our busy life for a weekend and be able to slow down. This cabin was perfect for that.

We went up on a rainy fall weekend. That limited our outdoor adventures, but the cabin was clean, quiet, and cozy. We had a wonderful time!

Walden cabin

The cabin was clean upon arrival and matched the pictures. However, the location was not as private as we had hoped and the hot tub needs to be drained/cleaned because there was hair, floating particles and dirty water.

A dirt road and a cabin

Nice, but not very scenic. Just a cabin down a dirt road. Didn't seem private with cameras everywhere watching your every move.
