About the host
Hosted by Ben Shurett
Mary and I chose to retire in Mentone after having a part-time home here for about 10 years. This special place grabbed our heart with its special spirit and incredibly friendly people. We were drawn to living atop Lookout Mountain, the beauty of all four seasons, the 100-foot waterfall and the charm of this place. It's our forever home.
Why they chose this property
We couldn't resist the location, location, location. The property is located on the west brow of Lookout Mountain, with a fabulous view of terrific sunsets from the rocking chairs on the front porch.. It's in Brow Park, just one-tenth of a mile to the city center, and easy walk to several restaurants and charming shops. It's time for a visit to the mountains of Alabama!
What makes this property unique
Location is the key – rock on our front porch and enjoy spectacular sunsets on the horizon. We're at an elevation of more than 1,860 feet so you can see for miles and miles and we have cooler than normal weather here so you can avoid hot summer weather almost all the time. Take a short drive to one of the highest waterfalls in Alabama at more than 100 feet. Perhaps best of all, you can walk to downtown Mentone and enjoy dining, the Art Center and speciality shops. Moonflower Cottage is equipped with every amenity we could think of and, if we're missing anything, let us know. There's a sweet, sweet spirit about Mentone. Come see us!
