Home away from home
We love this beautiful home and enjoy staying here very much. It has everything we need and more. Couldn't ask for a more peaceful vacation spot.
Pictures don't do it justice. The perfect mountain retreat
Came to visit family who didn't have space for us and am quite familiar with the area. This space is absolutely gorgeous and we loved it so much we are coming back every time we need to. The views are gorgeous, so many great amenities, and perfect location in the middle between Fort Payne and downtown Mentone. Hike, go to the river or lakes or waterfalls, hibernate, cook out, enjoy a glass of wine in the hammock at sunset,.play games, bicycle the rolling hills - you can do it all here!

Anniversary Getaway
We were looking for a relaxing getaway to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. This place was wonderful. The cabin is a great mix of old style with modern touches throughout. The outdoor space in the back is just awesome. The view is amazing. We had a great time here and hope to come back soon.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
Our experience with this property was simply outstanding. Gorgeous view from the brow of the mountain, location was very close to everything we were looking to do on our vacation while providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. The cabin was very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a full cabin, mountain getaway. Couples and families will surely find this property to be ideal for a relaxing escape from the day to day stresses of the world. We will definitely be renting this cabin again simply because the check in/out process was a breeze and the cabin is perfectly located for everything we wanted to do on our vacation. 10 out of 10 for sure.

There are treasures in every corner!
It's the cabin you expect in Mentone with hidden modern twists. New updated fixtures, touch light switches, night lights that come on when you walk into the bathrooms, upgraded appliances, great ceiling fans, fantastic TV''s, and a gas fireplace. That covers most of the modern; the cabin feel is everywhere. Just when you think you've seen all the little treasures throughout the cabin you find a new one. Furniture is comfy, beds are comfy, and the swing in the main bedroom is heaven. I loved all the decks, just didn't know which one to use first. Spent hours sitting outside looking at the incredible views. We all loved everything about Cottonwood Cabin. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Wonderful cabin for a restful retreat
We loved staying at this cabin. It was peaceful and had all of the amenities we needed. The view was beautiful and the cabin is not far from Mentone and DeSoto State Park. We did not get to use the fire pit as the area is in a drought and it was very windy, but that area is very cozy. The only thing I would mention is that the master bathroom only has a tub, but the upstairs bathroom does have a shower. The space in between the floor boards in the loft threw my vertigo off a little since you could see the light from the room below, but everything else was wonderful and we would stay again.

Old and new
Very charming and cozy cabin with updated appliances and advanced technology. My daughter said, "It's like this cabin is old and new at the same time." Would definitely stay there again. Would have loved a broader view; the trees blocked about 60-70% of it. I'm sure it's a stunning view in the winter.

Solitude on the Mountain
First, I’d like to say, this cabin exceeded all expectations! There are the coziest little “perches” (inside and out) to snuggle up and read, write or just be still. The brow view is amazing, whether that means you are watching the sunset or get the immense pleasure of watching the fog slowly roll across the valley below - until it’s completely blanketed in white.
This may be the cleanest and most well equipped rental I’ve ever stayed in…not one detail was overlooked.
Thank you for lending out your amazing space and thank you for making it so easy to relax there!
