We had a large family reunion nearby coming up on Sunday, so we decided to spend Friday and Saturday with our own 'little' part of the family, nestled away from everything except nature. We had 12 adults and 3 children, and were very comfortable the entire stay. Staying here was like being at a friends home. Everything is well kept, tastefully appointed, and perfect for relaxing in nature. There are several nice restaurants not too far, and nearby DeSoto Falls is breathtaking. We'll definitely consider this again next year. Thank you Maria and family for sharing...Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We enjoyed our time at Little River Harmony Cabin. We found the beds to be very comfortable. They have an instant water heater, so everybody had plenty of hot water for showers. The basement apartment is nice as well and has a completely separate entrance. They do not have AC in the basement unit, but it was still pretty comfortable in that area. The rest of the house upstairs was nice and cool. The kitchen is smaller, but we found it fully functional and there are lots of nice common areas. The screened in decks are huge and amazing and they have the living room and kitchen area all open with high ceilings to the loft, with an extra round table and chairs in the living room, so this was nice for spending time with the group. We would definitely recommend this place to others and if ever in the area we'd stay again. The price is fair and the owners are very considerate. They even offered some basic kitchen staples as well as some soaps and detergents. Great place for family groups.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.

We have stayed at Little River Harmony 4 times now and each time has been a true pleasure. We have used the cabin for both men's and women's church retreats. The accomodations are top notch, comfortable, and make you feel at home. We love the privacy and the serene setting. This cabin holds so many special memories for our church members. They are always asking, "When are we going back to the cabin!" Thank you to the Slaby family for building such a beautiful place for us to enjoy and "retreat" from the world! God bless, John and Lisa Meador Word of Faith Church, Fort Payne, ALOwner response: Thank you Lisa! I'm so glad you've all enjoyed our home over the years. It really makes me happy that you're creating such wonderful memories at Little River Harmony! We look forward to hearing from you again and again and again!

Great father/son weekend in Pizzicato

Spent a wonderful weekend with my 12 year old son in the lower level "apartment" (Pizzicato) of Little River Harmony. This place is amazing. The owners obviously put in a great amount of thought to the layout of this finished basement. Because of the smart design and the efficient use of every little bit of space, the whole area seems much more spacious than you would probably expect if you knew the actual square footage. With the full kitchen, good sized bathroom and two separate beds with clever privacy curtains to divide up the space, this lower level area is great for two people and would comfortably accomodate 4, too (6 might be pushing it a little bit). Throw in the extra, special benefit of having access to the owner's canoes, paddles and life jackets and you have the makings of a fun, fun weekend. Great place to make memories with your kids. The owner was incredibly quick to respond and helped us put together this VERY last minute getaway with ease. Thanks so much, Maria. And thanks to your family. You guys have done a great job with this very special place.Owner response: Thank you Dodd! I'm so happy you and your son had an enjoyable time at Little River Harmony! Thank you so much for sharing this! Hope to hear from you again! Maria

All 16 of us had a great time. Plenty of room in both areas for all of us. Large enough to have quiet time and be away from the group and plenty of area for all of us to gather. Loved the outside fireplace! Would love to come again!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you Laura! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hearing from you again!

Mentone Cabin Trip

- Review Submitted 12/29/11
Our family and extended family (14 total) just returned from a great 4 day / 3 night stay at this cabin, and enjoyed every bit of it. For starters, while close to main road, it was set far-enough back so that you felt you were far away from it all, which is for us the main reason we do cabin trips. At the cabin, there was a nice little (yet challenging) trail down to the river, which helped some of us scratch our hiking itch. In the cabin, we had plenty of options to spend time together or apart, and the outdoor fireplace and screened-porch area was one of the nicer features we have seen at any cabin. With a mix of young kids, teenagers, and adults, we needed lots of cabin options, and this cabin delivered. Our final-day pictures say it all...this was one of the nicer cabins we have yet to experience.Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hearing from you again Carole!

My brother and sister and I live in Alabama and Georgia and try to get together for an early Christmas with our children and grandchildren. Little River Harmony was convenient to all of us and large enough to accommodate the 16 adults and 4 children that we have grown to be as a family. We had a wonderful time the weekend before Christmas. We did not even have to decorate as the cabin was already beautifully decorated for our visit!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks Darla! I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay!!

This was a great place for our family to meet up with our extended family and celebrate Christmas together. It was a really nice place to relax and enjoy each other and block out the outside world. Our favorite thing was gathering around the outdoor fireplace and roasting marshmallows and singing Christmas carols. You really felt connected to the owners through their decor, artwork, messages, etc. We have rented many cabins over the last 16 years as our family has grown and this one will surely be one of the most memorable. This is a wonderful place to bring families closer together.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks Carole! Glad your family enjoyed your stay at Little River Harmony!

- Review Submitted 04/11/11
My sisters and I rented this wonderful home (both floors) and would highly recommend it. The house is well equipped with all the comforts of home and the beds are unbelievably comfortable. We had 11 children ranging in age from 13 to 2 who spent counless hours canoeing, playing in the river, and climbing the bluffs which left the adults plenty of time to rock the day away on the inviting screened porch. Desoto State park is just a few minutes away and we also did an extreme night hike with True Adventure Sports so there is plenty to do in the area. The thing that impressed the most about this porperty though has to be the owners. Maria contacted us after our stay to say that retainers had been found and could she ship them to me, which she graciously did. I really thought that was going beyond the call of duty and so very thoughtful of her. We will stay here again the next time we visit the Mentone area and suggest you do as well, you won't be disappointed!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your kind words Jeffe! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time at our home! It's amazing how the simple things of being outdoors and marinating in family really builds the most amazing memories. Happy to help with the orthodontia as well! :) We have 2 in braces so I know the expense there!!

Our church singles group had a wonderful time at Little River Harmony. More spacious than we had imagined and the accomodations are top notch. The town is cute and quaint and Desoto Falls was perfect to get out and hike. We drove to Chattanooga one afternoon and highly recommend the Murder Mystery Theatre. We hope to visit again. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. First Baptist Church OpelikaDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
