Always Have The Very Best Time!

This review may be a little late but wanted to be sure everyone knows what a wonderful time we had! This was our second stay with Peaceful Retreats in Canyon Hideaway Cottage. It did not disappoint! Everything was perfect and our family had the very best time! They always go above and beyond with lots of extras! You walk in to find a precious gift basket with all sorts of special things in it. A couple of us even got to enjoy a complimentary great breakfast at The Hatter Cafe! You should definitely check them out! Always a delicious meal and such a cute place! Our family loves staying here because they have room for all of us to fit comfortably with together time in the big family room and have very comfy beds! The kitchen is amazing and has everything needed to cook all our meals and snacks. We also love the porch bed and enjoy sitting in front of a fire on the porch as well. They are conveniently located to several playgrounds our grandkids love to go to and very close to some beautiful falls. Thank you for a very fun and relaxing getaway twice now for our family! We have made the best memories at Canyon Hideaway Cottage!

Why they chose this property

Mentone, AL | Canyon Hideaway Cottage | 2+ Acres | On the Brow | Gated | Fenced Backyard | Swing Bed | 3 Porches | Solo Fire Pit | Green Egg BBQ Grill | Little River Canyon | Wi-Fi | 4 Roku TVs | Indoor Fireplace | Porch Fireplace | Rocking Chairs | Hosts up to 10 Guests

WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS PEACEFUL RETREAT PROPERTY:
1) Behind the gate is a very natural environment with many trees and beautiful plants on the 2+ acre retreat property!
2) It is located less than one mile from Little River Canyon National Preserve!
3) There are beautiful views in every direction!
4) It is located on the brow with a view overlooking Broomtown Valley below!
5) It truly is a Canyon Hideaway - our Guests named it in their 5-star reviews!

Peaceful Retreats gives 10% of all commission revenue collected from this home to Camp Fletcher. It was founded in 1926 by Pauline Bray Fletcher, the first African American R.N. in Alabama. She was aided by a diverse group of supporters who recognized a lack of opportunities for inner city black children to explore nature and the outdoors. A Ku Klux Klan raid at the camp in 1948 proved to be the sole impetus for the passing of Alabama's anti-masking law in 1949—the first Southern state to pass such a law. BridgeWays acquired ownership of the property in 2004, and in 2016, established Fletcher Preserve Supporting Organization which now holds the deed to the property forever securing it as a community asset for young people and families.
