We had a wonderful stay at the Southern Star! It was very easy to find, and everything was clean and well cared for when we arrived. Our favorite part was definitely the screened-in porch—it was so relaxing with the TV and the bed swing, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.The location was great too. It was just a short drive to DeSoto Falls and the Wildflower Cafe, and only about 15 minutes from everything else we wanted to do in Fort Payne. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Check in was easy and the host was just a text away at any given moment, but thankfully because we didn't have any issues, it wasn't needed. The cabin was just as listed (though we did not test the hot tub), the A/C was wonderful inside and the bedding soft and comfortable, though the mattress is a bit firm. Sitting outside with a cup of coffee watching deer go by is absolutely worth waking up a bit stiff.

The cabin was a perfect getaway! Close enough to the shops and restaurants of Mentone to be convenient, far enough away to disconnect from it all. The nearby state park was great for a long nature walk.
