Wonderful stay!!
This was the perfect house and I’ve already shared it with other family and friends so they can enjoy it as well! From the decor, to the pillows on the bed… everything was perfectly designed. We’ve stayed in many short term rentals and this was the best. We even had a crazy experience where we left things in the house and had to return to the property not once.. but twice.. the communication was top notch and I was able to go back and retrieve our belongings that were left. 10/10 stay! We can’t wait to stay again!

Great time in Mentone
Lovely home that is superbly decorated. The location is very convenient and in walking distance to the Wildflower Cafe and the Mentone market. The property was exceptionally clean with comfortable beds and a fully equipped and updated kitchen. The hot tub was a bonus and we would happily stay here again.

PEACE of Mind...
My Husband and I found this cottage, and we knew at that moment we wanted to stay for his Birthday weekend. The cottage had everything we needed and more to feel right at home. The beautiful decor of the home was IMMACULATE, there was so much attention to detail, there was so much life in this home. We disconnected from the busy everyday chaos and we are so happy that we chose to land here. The owner was so communicative, responded very quickly and left no stone unturned. We were less than 1 minute from the Market, and other attractions in the city center. This was a BEAUTIFUL weekend, and such a great experience. Thank you so much for hosting us. Namaste.

Perfect Cottage
It’s as if Southern Living magazine or Joanna Gaines decorated it, no detail was forgotten. This is an adorable cottage in Mentone for anyone who appreciates attention to detail and authentic cottage style. The owner was quick to answer any questions. It is just down the road from the best restaurant in Mentone, Elevation. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing little cottage
We absolutely loved our stay at this little cottage. It was very peaceful and within walking distance of downtown mentone. It was very cozy and felt like home. The owners reached out the day before our checkout and let us know there was another night available if we were interested and they also stayed in touch which was nice. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and unwind. Will definitely be staying here again!

We had a wonderful stay here. The cabin is very clean, super comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well-equipped, the shower is wonderful and the beds were very nice. Although the cabin is on Hwy 117, the road noise was not bothersome. The hot tub was a an added bonus after a long day of hiking; there are plenty of trails nearby. The Mentone Market is just down the street and has a great selection of food and gifts. We look forward to staying here again!

A Restful Retreat
We can not say enough good things about our stay with Nathan at the Cottage. We were looking for a quiet retreat away from the kids for a couple of days to celebrate our anniversary. We could not have picked a better option. The location was great, very close to the Mentone Market, we were able to walk to get food. But the rental had EVERYTHING we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked and well thought out. The bedrooms had good use of the space and the bed was very comfortable. Loved the hot tub and outside area. The owner was very attentive and excellent to work with. We plan to return for our next respite.

Great Location
This was my first visit to Mentone Al. We enjoyed our stay- this cute little cottage was comfortable and nicely equipped with amenities. The owner provided all necessary information. This house was located conveniently to down town and was walkable to stores and restaurants. The beds were very comfortable but the road is busy and the traffic noise for a light sleeper can be a little disturbing.
