Romantic Tranquil Riverfront Cottage Rushing Crystal Clear Water Best Rate

One of a kind experience! Riverfront cottage with a historic covered bridge that is private and gated within a few hundred feet of CLOUDMONT SKI SLOPES. What more could you ask for? Located near all of Mentone's attractions. Relax in the cottage that was redesigned for couples or an intimate space for two in mind - Nestled atop Lookout Mountain and overlooking the river. You can have your morning coffee on the expansive wrap around deck over looking the water, relax by a crackling fire under a blanket of bright stars, or lay listening to the rippling music of the river.

Disliked: Location
We enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful surrounding area during our stay. The cottage itself is a bit tricky to navigate to, so I recommend arriving during daylight hours and closely following the host's specific directions. It is behind a camp and you will not find it in the dark. GPS is no help and you have to go off road. Once you do find it you can truly unplug. There are quite a few house rules /notes posted all over the cabin . The serene location is lovely with a beautiful river flowing behind it.

So very glad that you enjoyed your stay. The river is spectacular. There is just one turn once you turn onto the main road . You guys arrived late at night . The girls camp is 1 mile away exactly you have to pass in front of it only . River Rock is all by itself literally in the river and it’s not behind anything please know that. Thank you so much see you soon .

We were really looking forward to fishing in the Creek ,but there aren’t any fish at all in this creek!!! Very disappointing! No WiFi only cable t.v.I’m used to having cell service. I was so afraid we would fall and get hurt , no way to get help. (We’re an elderly couple). Other than that, everything was great! The cabin is amazing. Very clean and comfortable. Mr.Tony has it very well maintained. The decor is absolutely beautiful.
