Great relaxing stay
We had a wonderful stay here. It was a very restful vacation. The place was clean and we really enjoyed the screened in balcony. Parking can be a bit of a problem when all units are occupied. Had a great time overall.

Great little getaway
Cozy and serene. There isn't much to do in Mentone but there's some staples there that provide enough to do for a couple days. De Soto Falls is a must do hike if you can handle intermediate hikes. This host had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, no complaints. Very Communicative as well. There's a handful of great spots to eat around Mentone, Ft. Payne isn't too far away if you need groceries or fast food. Brow park for the sunset and St Joseph on the mountain for a short walk through a beautiful little church garden
