This was a wonderful place to stay. The host was awesome!!! The cottage was so close to DeSoto Falls that you could hear the roar of the falling water. I would definitely stay here again if I go back to Mentone.
Our host met us at the cottage, and he was over and above welcoming and kind! He had good tips to give us about the area, too, which were very helpful! We LOVED the cottage! It was beautiful and exactly what we needed for our long weekend! We will definitely be back!!
Beautiful property unfortunately they do not provide an iron and ironing board. We were visiting our grandchildren and it was a bit far to drive. GPS did not work well. Only one parking space was next to house. Enjoyed talking to Balpha. House and porch were extremely clean. Recommend highly to others
The home was clean and cozy. The short walk to the waterfall was a nice addition! My friends and I enjoyed games and warm nights by the fire place. I would highly recommend this listing.
It was another wonderful stay in Mentone at Canyon Falls Cottage! Balpha is always a fantastic host and does everything he can to make your stay the best it can be. The Ft. Payne Christmas Parade was truly magical and it really kicked off the holiday season! Can’t wait to visit again soon!
Wonderful location! The cottage is lovely, spacious, clean, well-stocked, peaceful and cozy. Loved all the details like the stained glass window, art, and flowers. Our favorite thing was the proximity to the waterfall. Great location for hiking and enjoying God’s beautiful creation.
This property was very nice and peaceful. Owner was so easy to work with and had great communication skills. I would highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a vacation spot in Mentone.
My wife and I had a wonderful time at the cottage! Balpha was so welcoming and called to check in on us since we had to arrive late at night. It was a real treat getting to see DeSoto Falls from the second floor bedroom, and being so close we were able to walk there! Truly we were just in awe that this is where we were staying - the kitchen was so cute and had everything we needed to cook with, the bed were comfortable (nice soft mattress!), and there was so much space to just hang out and relax between the living room and the porch. I absolutely cannot wait until we’re able to visit again, this weekend did wonders for our stress levels and was the perfect getaway.
The cabin is nicer and more specious than the photos can convey. Very nice appliances and everything. Beautiful blinds and sheets and dishes and towels and comfy everything. Loved it.
The host greeted us to explain features of the cabin and specific artwork in the home. His tour was a fascinating start to our stay. I can’t rave enough about the comfort of the bedding in the upstairs bedroom. My friend said she slept wonderfully in the downstairs bedroom.
Host was very welcoming. He provided directions, walked us through door locks, tv controls, etc., and was quite hospitable. The cottage was wonderful. The open concept downstairs, with the large windows, was beautiful and a great place to spend time. The upstairs loft area was a perfect place for our young boys to play but still be close by. Overall the best part, by far, of the stay was the location, with DeSoto Falls only being a couple of minutes away. We walked there every day to spend time by the waterfall, it was amazing.
This cottage is simply amazing! Pictures do not do it justice. Our host was exceptional, caring and went out of his way to ensure our stay was pleasant.
We loved our time at the cottage! It was perfect for relaxing and great location for all the things we did over the holiday weekend. Highly recommend staying here - we will be back!
We rented both properties to give us some extra room. We love the area and the house did not disappoint

About the host
Hosted by Susan Collins
This property has been in our family since 1945 at which time the owner’s original cabin was built. The owners live in the original cabin. Our goal in developing rentals is to share what we have treasured for years. There are now two additional rental units with parking on the estate. “The Cliff House”on the canyon rim faces the basin and falls. “Canyon Falls Cottage” faces the woods with views of the falls and canyon from the property. There is a view of the falls from the upstairs bedroom in winter which is partially obscured in spring and summer. The two cabins can be rented together or separately. No matter the season, one is beckoned to return to this property due to the magic of a spiritual experience at this ancient geological treasure.
Why they chose this property
There is no other place like this on Lookout Mountain, and you will experience the premiere view in all of Appalachia. After experiencing the energy of your first journey here, you will be destined to return and certainly always welcome.
What makes this property unique
The photographs of views from this property are very popular in guides and venues in the area, but your view from this estate is yours all day long. No picture can capture the magnificence of this natural wonder. The beauty and roar of the falls will be embeddd in your memory forever. You will not want to see your journey end; so we know you will be rejoicing when you return.
