This cozy cottage was perfect for my family of 4. The location was ideal for easy access to everything we wanted to do from different waterfalls to shopping to watching the sunset at Brow park. This place was exactly what we needed to relax & reset in nature.

Our Stay in Mentone, Alabama

Sunshine Cottage was clean and welcoming as well as perfectly located for us for our stay. I not only would highly recommend it, if we come back next year to see my brother, that's where we want to stay again!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday stay at this clean, comfortable cottage. Loved the Christmas tree and holiday decor. Susan, our host, was quick to respond when I reported a power outage. Beds were a bit too firm for our bad backs. Had everything we needed, although a new set of pots and pans would be an improvement. Neighborhood was safe, quiet, walkable and convenient to everything.
