We loved the rental, location, and amenities. I can’t wait to come back again. Also, loved how close it is to desoto falls and the beautiful creek by the house. Thanks for letting us stay there.

This property is very nice. It was perfect for our family trio and close to a lot of hiking. If you are looking to explore this part of the US, this cottage will be a great base camp!

Good place for two couples in a beautiful setting. The only complaint I had was prefer more seating in the living room over the daybed but we are all over 50. The setting was beautiful and the character of the farmhouse nicely restored.

The cottage was very quaint and extremely quiet. We didn't see anyone on the street we stayed on the whole time.
Very small town with a few restaurants the Wildflower cafe was fantastic, I had the Prime Rib with blue cheese it was the best and the service was second to none.
We would go back to both the cottage and Wildflower Cafe.

The cottage was very clean and was in a quiet neighborhood, which we loved. Easy access to restaurants and we loved shopping at Fort Payne. This was a much needed trip for my Mother and I.

This cottage is absolutely amazing! Very comfortable, peaceful and quaint! The cottage provides all essentials during your stay. We only stayed for 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer! My kids loved the area! Mentone is an adorable little town and just a short drive to Fort Payne. Desoto State Park is a must if you’re visiting…swimming, waterfalls and lots of trails! Highly recommend this cottage!! We hope to be back soon.

From the moment we entered the cabin, you knew that the owner and hosts really care about this place. Everything is immaculate - clean, well stocked, and incredibly well maintained.
Great location: Down a dead end road, a block+ away from the busy street going through town, in a quiet neighborhood where you can walk your puppies safely, no traffic at all.
The yard around the cabin is huge - probably 2 +/- acres. Nice areas to sit and enjoy the surrounding woods.
The back deck is pleasant - very large.
Half a block to a private dock over a branch of the Little River.
I suspect they have a tankless water heater. It wasn’t an issue for us because my wife and our puppies came alone on this trip, but it was nice to have instant and endless hot water immediately when you turned on the tap.
Great guest information book, which appeared to have been updated recently.
Some good restaurants nearby (e.g., Wildflower).
A great little general store close by (Mentone Market).
There is a sidewalk about a block away that goes all the way into downtown Mentone if you want to stroll that far.
We really enjoyed our stay - it was a great place to wind down for a few days.

This is one of the most amazing places to stay in Mentone! The property is wonderful with lots of space to get outside. The inside is clean, comfortable and updated. All amenities needed for a great getaway are provided. This was my husband’s first visit and he loved it!

I truly cannot put our experience into words at this property. Check in was a breeze but the experience of walking through the absolute cleanest vrbo we’ve ever stayed in was even better. Getting to the back patio and seeing the property and view was an absolute calming feeling to all our hearts. We were stunned. From fire flies to fires at the fire pit, comfy beds to warm showers, home cooked meals to barbecued dinners everything about this place just melted our hearts and makes us want to return. The small town has some amazing people in it, we made friends even though we were just visiting. The waterfalls surrounding and the awesome history close by made it even more worth it. WHEN we visit again, we will absolutely stay here again.

My husband and I went to Mentone for a little wedding anniversary get away. The house was wonderful. It was very clean and in a nice quiet area. We walked our dog to the deck down the road everyday. It was nice to be able to have our dog with us. We had a great time and will definitely rent the house again.

Our stay was almost perfect. The only thing I can think of, that would have made our stay perfect, is down pillows as an alternative to fiber filled pillows. Small thing, but would have made a huge difference in our sleep.
5.0
This cabin was beautiful and well-stocked. Everything was conveniently labeled and there were clear instructions for anything we needed to use. The view was beautiful and we had a great time. We only had one small thing, there was a small bag of trash set on one of the side tables when we came in. Not a big deal, tho, because everything else was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends

We really enjoyed the property and location. The only thing I would complain about is there were no hanger in the closets and no chest of drawers to put our clothes. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. It was so spotless when we arrived and we sure appreciated that. My husband even commented about how clean it was! Comfortable bed too. They even decorated for Christmas which was a pleasant surprise. The kitchen was well stocked so we enjoyed cooking our meals ourselves in the cottage. Appreciate having coffee, filters and creamer available in the morning. Our two small pups loved running around in the ample yard. It was very comforting that the road was a dead end so we felt safe letting our dogs run around in a yard without a fence. We look forward to returning for another visit. Thank you!!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin. We did venture down the street to see the river. Wonderful platform deck — great view. There’s a nice sidewalk all the way to the small town stores. Kitchen was nice to cook in, bed was very comfortable but my favorite part was the wood fireplace. I greatly appreciated the supply of kindling and wood. Would definitely rent again if we are up this way.

This little cottage was perfect for my wife and me and our toddler, baby, and fur babies. It is located on a super quiet street. We really enjoyed it as a lunching point for all of the beautiful sites in the area. I would definitely recommend it to a family looking to get away from the busy world for a little bit.

Sunshine Cottage is sweetest yellow bungalow in Mentone. This was our second year to stay there and we plan to return. Don’t worry about forgetting anything because it is the most equipped place we have stayed. Everything looks new but it did last year too. Fully equipped kitchen and I mean fully. Tastefully decorated with splashes of red that compliment the more subdued colors. The yard is large and shaded with a back deck to overlook yard and woods. Susan is an excellent hostess who does not bug you or intrude. She is within reach if you need her. It is A+ in our opinion.
