We are at the mercy of the calendar! The only way to guarantee early check-in is by booking the night before.

Great little getaway close to some of Alabama’s waterfalls

This place was just perfect for myself, my husband, and 3 girls! We spent the latter part of spring break week going to DeSoto falls and little river falls, and Fort Payne.

A great little getaway

This little tiny home was perfect getaway for my husband, two dogs and myself. It had a great trail to the river with a bench to admire the river and outdoors. The porch was a great place to watch the fireflies and listen to nature. This tiny home is close to Desoto state park and to Mentone’s charming stores and restaurants.

Had a great time. But we didn't realize the loft was so low but we managed and had a great time. Would recommend it to our friends. and we were so disappointed we didn't have fresh eggs! We loved watching the turkey across the road..

Wonderful trip, cute small house

The tiny "cabin" was delightful. It was cozy and fun to explore. We enjoyed the porch and cool night we stayed. Everything was very clean and tidy. The lighted trail to the creek was nicely done. The location is close enough to the state park to be a comfortable trip there and back for any light hikes.

Small home on top of Lookout Mountain

Lovely home, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much! The description implies the river "front" is very close to the home, but it is not. It is a steep walk, very difficult for anyone slightly impaired and not suitable for swimming. Regardless, it is a wonderful vacation spot, we highly recommend it and would cerainly retiurn!

Excellent experience!

The cutest little house in a beautiful location! We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The cabin is very well quipped with plenty of supplies for cooking, cleaning, and entertainment. It was very clean when we arrived. The owners are easy to communicate with and pleasant. It is also pet friendly so we were able to bring our furry baby! We will definitely be back here in the future :)

Not exactly a river front home unless you’re able to hike to the river. Thankfully, we are hikers. No tv in the bedroom cost me hrs of sleep (I do realize not everyone sleeps with a tv on but I do). Otherwise it was peaceful and relaxing with many waterfalls to hike in the area.

Absolutely Amazing

I can't say enough about this cute little cabin in the mountains. I had never been to Mentone even though i only live about an hour away. This little place right on the river once you walk down the hill. The little bench by the bank very nice to sit out by river at night or during the day. The extra little thought that they put into making tour stay feel like home is really what did it for me. I can't wait to go back again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Seth and Emmye Wilson

Host profile image
Hi there!

Seth and Emmye are hosts for local tiny home VRBO's atop Lookout Mountain Georgia and Alabama. In 2018, we went on an adventure to scope out where we will plant our roots for our first stages of life. We stayed in a tiny home in the area and it made us fall in love with this area, community, and a new concept of living.

Have a peachy day (:

Why they chose this property

Where the Little River Runs is the perfect spot to disconnect from your busy everyday life and reconnect with the nature around you. This is a very private and peaceful location. You'll be surrounded by trees and will have access to the river directly from the property. Enjoy the river views while you sit at our fire pit area that is directly next to it.

What makes this property unique

The quaint mountain town of Mentone, Alabama is just 6 miles away. In town you can visit unique artisanal shops and eat local foods including the famous Wildflower Cafe, voted Best Cafe in all of Alabama. Only 10 miles away is De Soto Falls, home to a 107 ft picturesque waterfall where you can go swimming. Drive 12 miles from the tiny home and you'll get to the Little River Canyon National Preserve. For those looking for full-day adventures outside of town, head 47 miles north to Chatanooga, Tennessee.
