Beautiful view. So close to so much in Mentone like Desoto Falls, the state park and Little River Canyon. Having the Xmas decor was also a nice touch.

Rather to pay money upfront than charge back later and say you break this and that. If something broken make sure you take pictures and send it to host in first hr otherwise they they keep asking money until you get frustrated and pay I can give them 5 stars in every aspects except honesty

Cool place, good location, host was easy to work with. The interior could have been a bit cleaner, but great experience other than that.
