Great father/son weekend in Pizzicato

Date of Stay: 01/20/12 Review Submitted: 01/30/12

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!

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

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.

Owner response:Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hearing from you again Carole!

Early family Christmas Gathering

Guest: Anonymous
Date of Stay: 12/16/11 Review Submitted: 12/28/11

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!

Owner response:Thanks Darla! I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay!!

Christmas at the Cabin

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.

Owner response:Thanks Carole! Glad your family enjoyed your stay at Little River Harmony!

Spring Break 2011

Guest: Jeffe (Collierville, TN)

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!

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 Opelika

We have enjoyed our Winter stay at Little River Harmony for two years now and plan on returning next year. We bring six adults and four children to the cabin and truly enjoy its hospitality and family friendly atmosphere. We had good weather for hiking through Desoto state park and even the rain on Saturday was pleasant for reading in front of the fireplace on the back screened in deck.

We had a family reunion with 20 people. Everyone was blown away by the "cabin". It is a beautiful home tucked in the woods. There was plenty of room in the house, on the porches and in the yard. The town offered adventures for everyone from quaint shops to DeSota Falls and easy and fun hikes. This is a hidden gem. The kitchen may look small, but is very functional and and very well equipped. Be sure to eat at the Wildflower Cafe--written up in Oct. 09 Southern Living--delicious! Thanks to the Slaby's for their charm and graciousness in sharing their home.
