VALKYRIE Secluded Romantic River Cabin River and Mountain Views Log\/Stone Cabin
About this cabin rental
This is simply the Nicest and Best Appointed cabin in Mentone. I should know considering then next three in line are also our cabins! AND I designed and decorated it. This Beautiful Cabin was taken timber by timber from its original location in Kentucky. It has a sister cabin many of you have stayed in-Fernweh-666662. IT is new-old construction taking over a year to build. Construction finish date was November 6th 2016. It is also a sister cabin to 'Away from it All' vrbo-480579 which many of you have had the pleasure of staying in. The cabin is model pre-civil war construction, it was reconstructed using modern mortar technique and then added on to in its current location. The Cabin sits at the end of a private gravel road on 25 secluded acres on the deep section of the Little River. Has a fenced yard for your doggie. Secluded is an understatement. It is situated on a bluff overlooking the Crystal Clear East Fork of the Little River, just below a waterfall and a creek which can be heard as soon as you open the door to the car during the wetter seasons. We have an inviting large covered front porch with swing and with a larger open uncovered front porch with ample log furniture where many a book has been read in the fragrant mountain air. There is also a covered and screened back porch and an open Back porch! The Cabin itself retains all of its antique charm as you enter the Great room with its stone double sided wood-burning fireplace serving the great-room and the Master bedroom both located on the lower floor. The Upstairs is separated by a staircase that leads to a private spacious upper loft that contains a King and 2 Queen Beds. The Master Bedroom downstairs is off of the Great-room and is garnered with mountain views through perfectly placed casement windows and King Bed, situated perfectly so that you can see the woods and sunrise from the bed. Enjoy the Wood Burning Fireplace in the Bedroom. Off of the Master Bedroom is a Beautiful Master bath with stone walk in shower and copper slipper tub, set below a large window overlooking the woods. All sinks were imported from a copper-smith in Mexico. There is a fully functional kitchen with stainless Full size appliances/dishwasher/stove/oven/refrigerator/freezer/microwave and all cooking supplies you could possibly need. One Bathroom Downstairs off of the Great-room with a combo-shower and bath Samsung HE Washer and Dryer, and a Master Bath off of the Master Bedroom with a Walk in Stone Shower, and Large Copper Slipper Tub. High Efficiency Samsung Washer and Dryer. 2 Flat Screen TV's with Direct TV up and downstairs with /DVD/Wireless Internet/Direct TV Network Sports/Central Heat and Air. I Message available-Cell phone coverage is available from the front porch though it can be spotty at times. I-phones work great through I-message or KIK/any internet messaging service. There is a Master Bedroom that overlooks a large elevated back porch over the river canyon and the river can be heard from an open window. There is a large stone hearth wood burning fireplace in the bedroom. The Bedroom opens onto a cozy screened in porch with a 5 person water therapy spa/hot-tub. There is a charcoal grill on the back porch. There is a fire-pit and picnic area above the river, and a built in natural trail to the river itself where depending on the water level you can swim/float/fish/lounge in the crystal clear mountain water. The house is about 10 minutes from Downtown Mentone, AL and 15 minutes from Fort Payne, AL for antique shopping/cultural activity/or fantastic food and music at the Wildflower Cafe or other restaurants. The canyon is also about 10 minutes away, and 5 Minutes from Alpine Boys Camp, Desoto State Park, Desoto Waterfall, and Lake. There are wildflowers galore and wild blueberries and blackberries and plums along the road depending on the season. Wildlife abounds everywhere. The Tin Roof provides a great sound to sleep to when it rains. The Cabin is beyond secluded on a private road.

Valkyrie is a perfect place for a getaway and still be nearby so many great places and things to do. At the same time, there's every reason to stay put right there in the cabin and on the grounds. It's managed by a great owner and support team combo too. A stay at Valkyrie is a great pleasure in every way.

This is an absolutely beautiful property that is far away from the hustle and bustle. You can truly escape and enjoy a nice fire or a relaxing soak in the hot tub. It is perfect!!!
4.0
We had an excellent stay at the property. Cabin is beautiful, secluded and very well equipped for groups to stay there comfortably. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the Wi-Fi was out at the cabin my whole stay and when I reached out to the owner about it he never got back to me.
It was great to disconnect and enjoy nature anyway, but it would have been nice to have the ability to have some amount of connectivity.
Still a fantastic stay over all and would definitely book again!

If you are looking for beautiful fall colors, this is THE place! Very secluded and serene with forest all around. We also took an hour drive over to Chattanooga and had a great lunch at The Boathouse and toured Lookout Mountain Civil War Battlefield. Very cool!

This was a secluded spectacular home! My husband and I were looking for a retreat where we could recharge our batteries with nature and one another. This was the perfect destination. The home had all the right touches. We read by the fireplace, hiked the property and relaxed in the hot tub with the amazing view. We will return. I can’t say enough about this beautiful unique home!

Awesome place. Total privacy. 33rd anniversary weekend This place was so peaceful and perfect for a couples weekend. Just a 5 minute hike to a private spot on the river to swim and hang out on a float. This place is great all you hear is the wildlife. You are completely off grid and Unplugged! We will be back.

The cabin is secluded at the end of a gravel road, sited above the river. It was great to sit out on the screened porch and listen to the river down below. The cabin is beautifully designed and decorated. Wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe next time.

This cabin is amazing if you love tranquility at its finest. The cabin is gorgeous, and the surrounding woods are amazing. There is a great stream a short hike away that leads to a river. The water is ice cold but feels so good on tired feet. It is a perfect get away for couples or families. The cabin has everything you need to relax, enjoy, rest, and recharge! The owner is amazing and sent us lots of good info about the surrounding area. His directions are great. I would love to visit this area again and would stay in this cabin again. It is just amazing.

Having traveled to Blue Ridge for all of our prior cabin trips we were so happy to find Valkyrie in Mentone that is much closer to Birmingham! The cabin itself is amazingly equipped - there is nothing that the owners didn't think of! The views are great and the hot tub can't be beat! Don't bother looking for a better cabin - this is the one!

This property is perfect for privacy and solitude. The cabin is very comfortable. We sank into total relaxation when we arrived. Robert Shaffer provided for an easy check-in, and managed every detail of the property very well. We will most definitely return.

Nice remote getaway. Tricky to find the first time but but worth it for the woodland feeling once you are there. Mentone is a good place to explore for a few hours and the falls, DeSoto park and the canyon are good places to get out and hike.

The cabin and surrounding property was better than expected in every way. We didn’t hear a plane, train, automobile or people for the entire stay. Just the sound or wind through the trees and the water rushing in the distance, the views are beautiful and the accommodations excellent. Will definitely be back!

Best Cabin EVER! Gorgeous views; spotlessly clean; very well stocked kitchen! Best cabin I’ve ever rented! Happy New Year!!
5.0
We found the property exactly as described… and even a little larger than we thought it was going to be. we spent most of our time walking in the surrounding woods, there are several trails on the property, and sitting on the back porch and in the hot tub enjoying the view. We are a busy couple and needed to find some solace close by to ring in the new year. Mentone is only an hour and a half away from Gadsden, where we live, so we weren’t spending the whole holiday weekend in the vehicle. The host, Rob , was easy to communicate with and the entire experience was very positive, we will be back for sure.

I almost never write reviews but our recent stay at the Valkyrie Cabin in Mentone, AL demands the greatest praise. This real log cabin with all the modern amenities added must be seen to be believed. The decor is exceptional and the location on 25 acres of woods provides complete privacy but internet and Sat TV are available if needed. We will surely return.

My husband and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway and it was AMAZING! The location is perfect, totally secluded and private. The pictures do NOT do it justice. The cabin is super homey and comfortable, clean and very well maintained. We loved walking down the trail to the river and sitting on the big stones and just listening to the waterfall play is soothing melodies. We absolutely hated to leave and cannot wait to go back next fall. Your place is truly a peaceful and tranquil place to just relax and unwind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cabin. It was so peaceful and secluded. Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. Our visit was short and in August but we plan to go back in late fall-winter in hopes that we can see the river and maybe a lot more deer. We did have one deer that came close and a bunch of turkey were in the yard one morning. We could hear the river but at our age were afraid to try to make the hike. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!

Worth the drive from Michigan!
We loved our stay! We were not particular in what state we wanted to have family time but so happy we chose this location!
The home and property is very peaceful. I can see why no one would want to leave it. But, if like us, and love the outdoors there is so much to do and see! We went to numerous waterfalls (such as DeSoto and Noccalula), we hiked, we kayaked (had our own for immediate area and then used Tooga Yaks in Gaylesville for a long trip - they are awesome!). Also enjoyed the local winery!
Spent time in downtown Mentone and Fort Payne and everyone was super friendly!
The home was very clean, beds comfy and property amazing!!
Thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven with our family!!!

The pictures shown for this VRBO rental are exactly how it looks in person if not better. The river trail and river aren’t shown but if you enjoy hiking and you’re in good shape and health it makes for a great morning hike. The cabin and everything in it from decor and amenities sets the perfect rustic ambiance for a nice cabin retreat. My family and I traveled 12 hrs and got there around 1 am the first day and the second day we were gone all day to Chattanooga which is about an hour drive; so for the most part we didn’t get to actually enjoy the cabin but the little time we did spend there was amazing. If you READ AND FOLLOW all the instructions/precautions given by the owner for everything you will be fine. I only have 4 things that I didn’t like and 1 suggestion. The bed downstairs could use a better foundation as it felt unstable the two nights I spent there and was a little uncomfortable to sleep on and with the amazing mattress it has that foundation just doesn’t do it justice. The keurig would not work; it would turn on but would not brew so I couldn’t have my morning coffee. The screen to the porch door has holes by the hook and lock and a hornet and a few mosquitoes had gotten inside the porch. One of the living room remotes also had no back cover. These were things that I’m sure the owner was not aware of as you can tell the place is kept close to immaculate. Only suggestion would be to put a small curtain on the window above the bed in the loft as the sun hits your face soon as it rises. If you are looking to decompress from the city life or in general this is the place to go to as it is secluded in nature. I am grateful to have found and experienced this place! Thanks!

We have rented quite a few mountain cabins over the last 5 summers and this cabin is hands down the best one yet! It will be hard to top! We made so many wonderful family memories and can’t wait to go back! Check in was easy, owner/host extremely responsive and cabin was clean and cozy! The front porch was perfect for drinking coffee with a woods view and the river in the backyard was perfect for days worth of swimming, boulder jumping and family fun! Thank you for sharing this cabin with others to enjoy!
