FAQ`s...

EARLY CHECK-IN & LATE CHECKOUT OPTIONS
We are at the mercy of the calendar! The only way to guarantee early check-in is by booking the night before. If you want to take a gamble, you can wait until 24 hours before check-in to see if our schedule allows for it. If a guest is checking out the day of your arrival or if we have scheduled maintenance, early check-in may not be possible.
Late checkout will depend on the number of hours requested and if there is another guest coming that afternoon.

Is there a GROCERY STORE nearby?
The closest grocery stores are located in Fort Payne, Alabama: Walmart, Food City, Bruce`s Foodland
OR Dollar General in Menlo, GA and Walmart in Trion, GA.
Our small downtown, Mentone, has the Mentone Market which has eggs, milk, and delicious pizza and other grab-n-go items.

Fantastic!

The location is so convenient as it’s maybe just 15 minutes or so from Desoto State Park. The lodging itself is super comfy and the ascetics are great!

Perfect for a quiet romantic time

We rented A Little River Romance for our first anniversary. What a cozy cabin along a fork of little river. It’s perfect for two people. Full kitchen and king sized comfy bed that makes you sleep late. We enjoyed the hot tub and the back porch. You have river access and a dock but it needs a ladder so you can have easy access in and out of the river. Suggestion, bring a hair dryer, bring some groceries and some champagne.

My stay

Out stay was ok. Was looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub, which didn’t work. Also the plug in for the coffee didn’t work. Every time we made coffee we had to move the coffee pot to another plug in. One recommendation would be to make the hot tub more privately. Other then those things our stay was goood
