We just got home from a three night stay. This was our first trip as a family of five with our four year old son and our 3 week old twins. We wanted a low key and easy going getaway before my husband had to go back to work. This tiny home was perfect for that in every way! It was easy to find, clean, and in a very peaceful setting. Emmye was quick to respond, and I loved the list of recommendations for Mentone. We would definitely stay here again!

Me and my 2 sons had the best time here. We had a bon fire and used the grill, enjoyed the peaceful surrounding and counted how many deer we saw over the time we stayed here. The home had Everything you need and the car charging station was a Blessing for our family! (The Owners Are Fabulous at communication, and pricing) Didn't watch to much TV because there is so much to do. From the Forrest, waterfalls, Swimming, Kayaking and day dreaming at DeSoto Falls (10 Min drive) and Little River Canyon (20 Min drive), to lunch at the Wild Flower Cafe' 7 days a week in Mentone. (Definitely call and make reservations for Friday and Saturday night, live music, BYOB.) To all the beautiful hand made and one of a kind, finds at the gift shops and Mentone market. If you ride down into Georgia Menlo Dinner, and Lucky's groceries (10 min drive) have some great eats as well, Summerville (15-20 mins into Georgia) has the WillowTree Grill, Jefferson's, Jim's, Burger Shack and and J.H. Floyd State Park.
