Relaxing getaway
I stayed in this beautiful cottage with my cousin. We planned a last minute nature getaway and it was absolutely perfect. We got the kindest greeting from our sweet host, Balpha the moment we arrived with a lovely tour of the property. The cottage is beautiful with peaceful surroundings and you can hear the sounds of nature all around. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you to the lovely hosts for your hospitality!

Relaxing stay
We had a very nice relaxing time. The screened in porch was amazing! The weather was perfect. The handicap ramp and other amenities were fantastic for my sister who has some disabilities. I highly recommend this cottage especially if you just want to kick back and relax. We are planning to go back. Next time I think we will take more groceries and prepare our meals there.

My daughter and I absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. The owner, Balpha, is a true gem! The cottage is gorgeous and oh so comfortable. Meeting Balpha and receiving his tour of the property and tips for Mentone was a highlight! These properties will be our go-to accommodations when we visit Mentone and DeSoto State Park and Falls in the future. A+++++

Best relax cabin in alabama
The property puts you in state of relaxation the min you turn in the driveway. I mean from the sound of the waterfall to the birds chirping and the the clean fresh air. The host and the cabin has a home feeling that takes all the stress away.

Best cottage in the Mentone area!
This cottage is PERFECT! We have enjoyed staying in the main house for several years, but this was our first stay at the cottage. Although it shares ALL of the wonderful amenities of the other house, it has a unique and special personality of its own! The front porch with its gliding rockers has become one of my favorite spots to read and relax, and you can hear DeSoto Falls. It is also a great place to see and hear the many interesting birds in the area. I was quite excited by my first close look at a Pileated Woodpecker! The cottage itself is exquisitely decorated, and the hosts always leave the most beautiful fresh flowers for us! It is also handicap accessible which we did not need, but it will be perfect for some of our family members who would love to join us for a restful mountain vacation. There are not enough superlatives to describe the hosts, Balpha and Brue. It is their personal attention to detail that makes both the cottage and the main house the absolute Best of the Best!

Great place to relax
We had two peaceful and relaxing days. Everything we needed was supplied. Of all the VRBO's it is one of the cleanest that we have ever been to. We always look forward to our time at The Canyon Falls or The Cliff House. I wish there was a way to give it more than 5 stars!

My daughter and two teen granddaughters stayed here. (We were in the adjacent Canyon Falls unit.) This unit is spotless, has comfortable beds and plenty of room for everyone. Everything you need for a wonderful stay is here. I had my morning coffee on the front porch which overlooks the quiet woodland that surrounds this piece of heaven. A million thanks to the owner that shares this wonderful property.

Located on gravel road in quiet wooded area just behind another VRBO on rim that overlooks waterfall. Host is helpful and nearby. Stocked with everything you will need. Nice screened in front porch. Mentone is quick car ride. Lots of hiking within one hour. Try Hatter Restaurant.

This cabin was great - just the right size for two couples to spend a weekend in Mentone. The woods made it feel nice and secluded, and we were just a few minutes away from the trailhead to hike down to see DeSoto Falls. If we go back to Mentone, we'll definitely stay here again!

We had seen this property online and absolutely loved the location. The handicap accessible layout of the entry and ground floor bedroom was an absolute plus for the comfort of my 85 year old mother! Balpha met us at the cottage upon arrival and gave us a complete tour of the house and pointed out all the features of the property. This home is warm and cozy and made for the perfect place for us to enjoy our family getaway. Balpha is an incredibly gracious host. This will probably be our go to home away from home when we visit Mentone again!

Very pleasant stay on a great property!
Renting Balpha’s cabin could not have been easier. He was such a pleasant man. He usually meets the renters upon arrival, but this time he could not. But just a short time later he was there to show us around and explain a few things. The cabin was unusual because of the different vibrant colors and the lighting. We just enjoyed it so much and enjoyed meeting and talking to Balpha. Hope to visit again.
