Gorgeous views from a gorgeous cabin! This is an adorably authentic, rustic cabin with all the modern conveniences. Relaxing on the back porch was just what these girls needed! The host was wonderful in taking care of every need, even one that popped up unexpectedly! ;-)

It was so perfect. Location great and view and we loved the little cabin. We did have trouble with latching the garbage can. Could never find a latch on it. Also it needs an overall DEEP clean. A lot of heavy dust under chairs, furniture and a few spider web from rafters. I have asthma and my husband has cancer and this is the only improvement I could say about the property in general. We would love to come back again.

Our favorite place in the area to stay

We've been here a few times now and we'd come back every summer and Christmas if we could. Clean, well stocked, incredible views, style and charm by the boatload. Perfect place to relax and enjoy Lookout!

Such a wonderful place to stay and enjoy so many things! The tin roof, the view of the valley, the train passing by at least 3 times a day. The quietness of nature and the sounds it brings. The porch is my favorite part of the house. This wonderful place has everything you need and specious! Beds are very comfortable. It is just a fantastic place.

We came to celebrate our 9-year wedding anniversary, and everything was absolutely perfect! Cottonwood has easily become our new paradise — truly a home away from home. We’ve already started planning our return trip because we’ve enjoyed every single second here. From the breathtaking views to the peaceful relaxation, this has been the time together we so desperately needed. We’re not ready to leave and know we’ll be homesick for Cottonwood the moment we do. Until we meet again!

Anniversary Getaway

We were looking for a relaxing getaway to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. This place was wonderful. The cabin is a great mix of old style with modern touches throughout. The outdoor space in the back is just awesome. The view is amazing. We had a great time here and hope to come back soon.

Cottonwood Cabin in Mentone, AL

Nice views, but moths and ants in cabin were bothersome as well as scurrying mice noises at night making it hard to sleep.

Apologies that a wooden cabin on the edge of a mountain isn’t your cup of tea. Our home is clean and comfortable.. Your insinuation that it’s not is, well, ridiculous. You were here for 21 days….We’ve never had evidence of mice but the squirrels do run across the roof some mornings and if you’d communicated with us AT ALL, we would have told you that…Our reviews prior to yours speak for themselves. Best wishes.

July 4th Getaway

A short weekend trip for July 4th led us here. Close to family and friends we enjoyed the accomodations quite well. Very peaceful and soothing location and Angela the property manager was helpful and easy to work with if any questions would arise. Pictures do not do it justice and if you are looking for a getaway in Mentone this the place to stay!!

I fell in love with the property, and we definitely were not disappointed! The views are amazing, and the surrounding area was easy to access. But none of that compared to the house itself. We felt so at home here, and my son kept saying how much he didn't want to leave. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Pictures don't do it justice. The perfect mountain retreat

Came to visit family who didn't have space for us and am quite familiar with the area. This space is absolutely gorgeous and we loved it so much we are coming back every time we need to. The views are gorgeous, so many great amenities, and perfect location in the middle between Fort Payne and downtown Mentone. Hike, go to the river or lakes or waterfalls, hibernate, cook out, enjoy a glass of wine in the hammock at sunset,.play games, bicycle the rolling hills - you can do it all here!
