About Susan Collins
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 10 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, 4 years ago, 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 which has increased the commute to the home by an additional hour.
Susan Collins purchased this Cabin in 2008
Why Susan Collins chose Mentone
My wife and I bought our vacation home near my cousin as a way for us to "get away from it all" and also be close to family. It was the perfect getaway from the hectic pace of our daily jobs and being only an hour and a half from our home, Mentone offered the R&R we needed to just get away from it all yet still be close enough to decide last minute to take a drive up to the home on last minutes notice. The home is secluded yet right within the city limits and a few minute drive to downtown Mentone. It sits right across the street from Little River allowing us the opportunity to cross the dead end street the home sits on and to sit by the waters edge, go canoeing or jump in for a swim.
