Mentone Rest Easy

Cabin was very nice with just about everything you need for a short stay. Unfortunately the dishwasher wasn’t functional (the property manager had notified us about that beforehand) and for some reason the icemaker also stopped making ice but there was some bagged ice in the freezer. There was some water damage on the back porch around the fireplace that we told the property manager about We would stay there again.

Would book again

We had a very relaxing stay. The property was clean and comfortable. The furniture was actually comfortable. If you vrbo a lot you know this is not always the case. It was nicely decorated without a lot of knickknacks. We loved the indoor and outdoor fireplace. It's close to town but on a very quite street. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Collins

Host profile image
My wife and I bought our beautiful second home as a vacation home to get away from the hectic pace and stress of our jobs. That was 14 years ago. Now we have 2 beautiful daughters, the focal point of our lives. This is part of the reason we decided to rent our home out, for others to enjoy the home as well as we simply don't have the opportunity to get up to the home as often as we would like. We are a family of four and do utilize and enjoy the property, unfortunately, not as much as we would love to as we moved to a different part of Atlanta.

Why they chose this property

Our home is the perfect getaway from the hectic pace of your daily job, stresses in life and provides the opportunity to "disconnect", relax and choose what events and sites to take in within the Mentone area, should you choose to do so. You are in close proximity of taking in all of the picturesque parks and events in and around Mentone, while still enjoying the privacy of not being immediately in downtown Mentone. The home is secluded yet right within the city limits. You can either walk to downtown Mentone via the sidewalk alongside Hwy. 117 or commute there via a 3 minute car ride. What also makes this home special is that is sits right across the street from the eastern section of Little River where Camp Skyline is located, within a short walking distance of the camp if you have kids attending.
