Lovers retreat

It made Valentine’s weekend memorable, and having a beautiful woman was just an addition that was over the top. Everything was perfect, I’m planning to go back, but this time rent both properties for the entire family to experience the beauty of the waterfalls. The history of the property is enriched with just what an individual falls in love with.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect for our needs

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!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Collins

Host profile image
This property has been in our family since 1945 at which time the owner’s original cabin was built. The owners live in the original cabin. Our goal in developing rentals is to share what we have treasured for years.
There are now two additional rental units with parking on the estate.
“The Cliff House”on the canyon rim faces the basin and falls. “Canyon Falls Cottage” faces the woods with views of the falls and canyon from the property. There is a view of the falls from the upstairs bedroom in winter which is partially obscured in spring and summer.
The two cabins can be rented together or separately.
No matter the season, one is beckoned to return to this property due to the magic of a spiritual experience at this ancient geological treasure.

Why they chose this property

There is no other place like this on Lookout Mountain, and you will experience the premiere view in all of Appalachia. After experiencing the energy of your first journey here, you will be destined to return and certainly always welcome.

What makes this property unique

The photographs of views from this property are very popular in guides and venues in the area, but your view from this estate is yours all day long. No picture can capture the magnificence of this natural wonder. The beauty and roar of the falls will be embeddd in your memory forever.
You will not want to see your journey end; so we know you will be rejoicing when you return.
