These will be your favorite places to stay in Mentone, and by all accounts The Cliff House is one of the most spectacular cottage views in the southeastern United States Appalachian Mountains. No other venue in Mentone has this incredible vista. Review the photographs on this web page to see the spectacular views from Cliff House. These are your views upon awakening each morning, dining in or sitting on the screen porch hypnotized by the incredible natural beauty and sounds of the waterfall.
WiFi service covers the entire property, and full cell phone service from any vendor is available using WiFi technology (refer to Telephone... listing under amenities). You can also see a list of all amenities available.

Cliff House has two bedrooms with queen size beds both with views of the Falls with private baths. Both bed rooms are on the same floor with rest of the house. A half bath is available for your guests. The house includes a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with dishwasher, drip multi cup coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator/ice maker,dining area accommodating six, gas fireplace, washer and dryer, and the screened porch with balcony/deck and gas grill overlooking the Falls.
Cliff House accommodates four adults, and additional overnight guests are not allowed. Bedrooms are suitable for older children. Each accompanying child is considered a traveler.
Parking for two vehicles is on site, and overflow parking for daytime guests accommodated at street side. A second cottage facing the woods is now being offered, and this one is handicap/wheelchair accessible with separate dedicated handicap parking, including first floor bath and kitchen with no architectural barriers to wheel chair usage.
Cliff House and adjacent cottage are a three minutes walk to Desoto Falls overlook and Lake Desoto in Desoto State Park both visible from the cabin. Swimming and canoe launch are available at the park. Cliff House is three miles from the historic town center of Mentone Alabama where restaurants, shopping, banking and service stations are located. The property is 20 miles from The Little River National Preserve and Visitors Center administered by The National Park Service. Desoto State Park (Lodge and Restaurant) is a four mile drive. Driving to other cities; about 2 1/2 hours to Atlanta Georgia, Birmingham Alabama, or Nashville Tennessee and 45 minutes from Chattanooga Tennessee.

Check the log when you check into this amazing property with a wonderful owner, and enhance our review after you wake up to see roaring DeSoto Falls from your bedroom window! We had too busy an agenda with local family to stay on site the whole trip—next time we will not leave the property!
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The view is unbeatable, the host is nice. He and the cabin are eccentric. The problem was that the cabin required instructions in how to operate the electronics - the a/c, the fireplace, the lights - everything. And he was gracious to want to meet with us and explain it all, but after a 6 hour drive and health issues, we did not want to socialize and only wanted to rest. But it turns out that it was very necessary to get his explanations about it all! I think if we had known beforehand about the situation that it would have went smoother and there would not have been an issue, but the cabin temperature was very hot and we could not operate the thermostat and could not wait for a tutorial on it and had to leave due to health reasons. I think if we had known beforehand about the necessary meeting with the host regarding the cabin operations we would have been prepared for it. Also, although the cabin was pristine and lovely, the beds were very old, small, squeaky, and did not appear comfortable. If we had not had such a long drive we would not have minded so much. We came expecting rest and relaxation and were met with a stressful situation due to our health needs. Could not get a refund despite not being able to stay because we had already went through check-in. Very expensive incredible cabin with an incredible view that we could neither enjoy nor be compensated for. Disappointing. I wish it had turned out differently.
