We had a very relaxing, long wonderful weekend at this cabin. It’s in an awesome walking location with local access to shops and a great sidewalk for running! Mentone Market was a life saver and has incredible food, also the Farmers Market on Fridays is great to walk down to and check out! The owner was very accommodating and I really appreciated the approval when our pet sitter canceled and we had to bring along our pup last minute. This cabin is an excellent spot for a great little staycation with the family we will ABSOLUTELY be back again!

We loved our stay here. The place is really clean and nice. You can tell the owners take pride in the property and want it to feel like a home away from home. Fantastic fluffy towels that smelled amazing, comfortable beds, night lights, etc. little things make a place feel more welcoming. We had a wonderful girl’s weekend and would definitely stay here again!

This was our third stay at Rest Easy and once again we loved it. We couldn't ask for a better place in Mentone. We love your house which we affectionately call "our cabin" along with it's location which is very convenient. Along with all the qualities of the house, Susan has always made herself available and helpful whenever we've needed anything. We love coming to Mentone and Rest Easy makes it even better. Thank you Greg, for allowing us the opportunity to stay there and we hope to be staying many more times. We have given you a well deserved 5 star rating on VRBO.

The property was the best furnished we have ever encountered, including a loaded bird feeder in the back yard, which gave us a good number of hours of enjoyment. A good base of operations from which to explore the nearby waterfalls and hiking opportunities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very spacious with modern amenities and conveniently located within the heart of Mentone. We did not get to use the grill, but it was a nice addition. We enjoyed the fire pit and Greg and Susan were very responsive. Both my wife and I are vertically challenged so we found the downstairs bed unusually high, but comfortable. A stool nearby might make a nice future addition . And although we don’t consider Greg responsible for the neighbors activity, there was unexpected construction at the house next-door very early in the morning.

Mark was an outstanding guest. Susan, our property manager, our housekeeper and myself are incredibly humbled to have such a great guest a s Mark and his wife. Per Mark's public review, we are looking to purchase a brand new "lower box spring" rather than the standard size one for the 1st floor bedroom mattress (mattress is a brand-new Beauty Rest mattress purchased and installed in the downstairs bedroom in October 2025) to lower the height of the mattress on the bed frame (I am 5'8" and it is even a bit tall for me). Brand-new lower box spring to support the brand-new Beauty Rest mattress should be purchased and installed in the downstairs bedroom within the next 3 weeks.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Collins

Host profile image
My wife and I bought our beautiful second home as a vacation home to get away from the hectic pace and stress of our jobs. That was 14 years ago. Now we have 2 beautiful daughters, the focal point of our lives. This is part of the reason we decided to rent our home out, for others to enjoy the home as well as we simply don't have the opportunity to get up to the home as often as we would like. We are a family of four and do utilize and enjoy the property, unfortunately, not as much as we would love to as we moved to a different part of Atlanta.

Why they chose this property

Our home is the perfect getaway from the hectic pace of your daily job, stresses in life and provides the opportunity to "disconnect", relax and choose what events and sites to take in within the Mentone area, should you choose to do so. You are in close proximity of taking in all of the picturesque parks and events in and around Mentone, while still enjoying the privacy of not being immediately in downtown Mentone. The home is secluded yet right within the city limits. You can either walk to downtown Mentone via the sidewalk alongside Hwy. 117 or commute there via a 3 minute car ride. What also makes this home special is that is sits right across the street from the eastern section of Little River where Camp Skyline is located, within a short walking distance of the camp if you have kids attending.
