Beautiful little cottage. Cozy with a great view. Very clean and comfortable. Only thing that was a challenge was controlling temperature in the cottage, but understandably since it is an old building. We would definitely stay here again.
Yes, the hot tub was hot enough. Check the drip pan on the grill and also the dead bolt on the back door doesn't lock due to loose screw. Our trip to Stoneridge was amazing always, our favorite by far!

We love historic homes and this quaint cabin was a delight. It was rather cold so we were not able to enjoy the spacious screened porch (which has a perfect view) but enjoyed the view from the large window in the comfortable sitting area. We chose to sleep in the rock walled bedroom in the original part of the house which opened into the stone
The cottage is absolutely beautiful, cozy, and clean. The view from the hot tub is stunning. The location is great, too. I love that it is so close to downtown Mentone. We really enjoyed our stay.
We have stayed here on five occasions, we have enjoyed the peace and quiet watching a variety of birds and squirrels visit everyday watching from the cosy comforts of this amazing property, offering every essential for the modern era...we could go on but this year will make it six years since our first stay we wish you an amazingly awesome stay just like we have and hopefully will continue in the future thank you for reading our short review best wishes
The cottage is very clean and comfortable, with a great view. The host is responsive and the rental is stocked well with the necessities. I would say that this host actually provides more than most. The lack of a dishwasher is a mild inconvenience but understandable based of the age of the cottage. The hot tub is a huge benefit but it is located on the cottage side which faces the host's personal home, next door. However, that location was the only option and the host gave us complete privacy. The listing advises "in walking distance to town". Be advised there is no sidewalk and you will likely prefer to drive. All in all, it is a nice rental.
This home has everything…. glorious view, beautiful lighting, perfect blend of antiques and modern conveniences. The hosts are as charming as their cottage. Can’t wait to visit again!
