Named "the most relaxing town in Alabama" by World Atlas. Two master en suites!

Why visit Mentone, Alabama? World Atlas review of pretties Appalachian towns said, "Nestled in the mountains, this small adorable town, big on charm, southern hospitality, and nature, is a favorite escape in the state, no matter the taste! The hub for local artists, Mentone Arts and Cultural Center is like a window for the whole region's creative spirit, with rotating exhibits and hands-on workshops! With the nearby DeSoto Falls and plentiful cabin stays, Mentone is the loveliest to visit in the shoulder season for fresh buds stark against rhododendrons in spring and glorious leaf-peeping along the slopes in the fall! The rugged wilderness of Mentone is your go-to for kayaking and rock climbing.

"Perched quintessentially atop Lookout Mountain, Mentone's unique tapestry of attractions offers insightful, fun ways for families to discover the pretty town in the mountain's breath. The unmissable heritage monument of the Old Union Crossing Covered Bridge captures the essence of Mentone's past, while the Shady Grove Dude Ranch is an equestrian favorite for scenic horseback rides. From Wildflower Café to Mentone Log Cabin Village and Mentone Arts and Cultural Center, the Mentone Fall Festival brings all the local crafts, seasonal treats, and family attractions to the streets!"

Like great reviews? Here's one from January 2026. "Moonflower Cottage never disappoints. This was our 11th visit & as always it is by far the best! A cozy, beautiful cottage with a fabulous view. The screened back porch is perfect for reading, eating or just relaxing. Moonflower is located within walking distance of Mentone Market, where you can eat, or shop, the Arts Center & two popular restaurants, Elevation Bistro & Wildflower Cafe. Easy access to the host if a need arises. Once you visit you’ll want to go back!"

We invite you to come visit Mentone at Moonflower Cottage. Mentone is a charming little town in northeast Alabama, just a few miles north of Fort Payne and 45 miles from Chattanooga. It was recently named one of the top 24 small towns in America. It sits atop Lookout Mountain, where the views are not only spectacular but there are wonderful places for hiking, the 104-foot DeSoto Falls just three miles away, and we are close to DeSoto State Park. The flora and fauna are spectacular year around and Moonflower is an easy 1/4-mile walk to the heart of Mentone, where there are charming stores and restaurants and more on the way. Be sure to visit the nonprofit Mentone Arts Center, as well as Elevation Bistro, Wildflower Cafe, the Mentone Market, The Hatter Restaurant and other specialty stores in town and nearby.

Moonflower Cottage will be the star of the your visit. Imagine being surrounded by antique furniture and oriental rugs, granite countertops and stainless appliances, two king en suites with full baths, and a fully equipped kitchen that's been described as "extraordinary."

The screened back porch offers gentle breezes, comfortable wicker furniture and a dining table for six. The front porch has four rocking chairs and it's the best place on earth to see incredible sunsets.

The stay was amazing. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay- even a cozy fireplace for the cooler nights. When we had an issue with the internet (a neighbor accidentally cut the line) we contacted the owner and the owner got right to work rectifying the situation quickly and without inconveniencing us!
