It is situated on the eastern brow of Lookout Mountain approximately 8 miles from Mentone, AL, near the many camps for which the Mentone and Cloudland area is famous. Not too far from metropolitan areas, it is 40 miles south of Chattanooga and 100 miles from Birmingham or Atlanta. Located in an area of million dollar properties, the lodge is offered to the discriminating client. Guests relax in the Adirondack chairs on the point and see the views that are spectacular during any season.
