Stoneridge Cottage I - Best view and walking distance to town

“We have stayed at several cottages in the area and this is by far the best.”

“The pictures don’t do this majestic place justice.”

“There is always a little anxiety when you see something online that looks perfect but when you get there…. Looks are deceiving.! NOT THE CASE AT STONERIDGE COTTAGE I!”

“The décor makes you feel welcome from the minute you step in the front door.”

‘The cottage is beautiful and has so much history and the view is breathtaking.”

These are some of the comments from the many customer reviews we have received over the past 13 years.

Stoneridge Cottage I was designed by renown Birmingham architect, Jacob Salie, to be used as his summer home. Built in 1940, with new sections added throughout the years, this unique cottage features two suites with queen sized beds and separate sitting areas; both equally lovely. The cottage offers our guest all the comforts of home: a well-stocked kitchen, fresh linens, comfortable furniture, local art, handmade quilts, and awesome architectural features. Our guest will appreciate the exposed beams, pine floors and stone and brick interiors that take you back to a time when the materials were set by local workers proud of their craft.

This charming cottage provides our guest with the best valley views in Mentone. They can see our brilliant sunsets, distant rain storms, rolling fog and trains as they pass through the valley from the hot tub on the deck. Relax and enjoy a morning cup of coffee from our large screen porch or the many cozy spots throughout the cottage. Our prime location allows walks to town to experience unique shops and charming restaurants.

Stoneridge Cottage I offers many amenities that include:

- A flat screen TV and Blu-ray DVD player in each suite.
- DirecTV with all the movie channels.
- Wi-Fi service.
- Cell phone service is available for Verizon, AT&T and Sprint customers.
- The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including appliances, both auto drip and Keurig coffee pots with
coffee and K-cups, eating utensils, glasses and dishes, pot and pans, toaster, microwave, ice maker, Bounty paper
towels, Vanityfair napkins, sugar and sweeteners, dish washing detergent, dish cloth and drying towels.
- The bathrooms are supplied with wash cloths, bath towels, full size soap bars, hand soap and Charmin toilet paper.
- Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed, pillows, bed linens, spreads and blankets.
- On the screen porch/deck area there is a gas grill and A NEW HOT TUB that was installed on July 1, 2023 that overlook the beautiful valley and the spectacular
sunsets.

To accommodate our many guests, we have added Stoneridge Cottage II. It has the same spectacular view as cottage I. It is a one bedroom “adult only” cottage that features a “Pottery Barn” style décor with all the amenities of Stoneridge Cottage I include Wi-Fi and a screen porch and private hot tub that overlooks the valley. It has vaulted wood and beam ceilings. It is charming, comfortable and perfect for a romantic getaway for two. You can get details, view more photos and check the availability calendar of Stoneridge Cottage II at Homeaway.com/3571237.

It is the perfect location to travel to various locations in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. There is nearby Desoto Falls and Little River Canyon. There are historic Civil War battlefields located in nearby Georgia. Chattanooga, TN has unique attractions like the Tennessee Aquarium, Rock City, Point Park Battlefield, fabulous shopping, restaurants and coffee shops and exciting nightlife.

We at Stoneridge Cottages want you to know that we are continuing our practice of providing you with the cleanest rental possible. For your added protection during this COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken steps to be even cleaner by sanitizing all commonly used hard surfaces. This includes, but not limited to remote controls, counter tops, doorknobs, appliance handles, bathroom and kitchen cabinet knobs, microwave, railings, light switches, and sink and bathtub handles.

The location and uniqueness of this rental keeps bringing us back. But the most important reason is because of the view of the valley. With spring time in full bloom we can no longer see the expansive view. So we march off to Brow Park to get a fuller view.

My sister and I stayed Wed-Fri at end of May. Comfortable beds, gorgeous views, and great amenities. Modernized comforts, cute decor, yet also a lot of history and rustic vibes in the cave like room that is part of the original architecture. Extensive info in binder for local attractions. The owners clearly take great care to ensure guests have everything they need and very timely communication. Visited Hatter Cafe and Elevation Bistro in town, and several waterfalls in parks nearby. Be advised limited buildings in Mentone open during week so we missed out on a lot of the other local places. Staying on the brow in this area is a great option!

Magical stay

Perfect weekend anniversary trip. Beautiful home!!! House is right near Brow Park and a quick 8 minute walk to the mentone inn where there was awesome live music one night and farmers market on Saturday. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. So many places to hang out through the house. The screened in porch is magical- ceiling fans on and we chilled there most the day and evening to watch the sunset. Very well appointed- throw blankets on the couch and porch, beautiful sunset and daytime views. The hot tub was perfect.100% recommend.

Amazing property!

This was the perfect place for us to stay as we attended the herbal conference. The cottage is so adorable and holds so much history. It was super clean, so well stocked, and just so comfortable. The hot tub was amazing...and that view! Oh my goodness, what a view. We had a power outage one night while we were there, so we asked Jerome and Liz if they had any candles we could borrow. Jerome immediately fixed us up and while he was there he told us some history about the cottage. We would definitely stay here again the next time we come to Mentone. Loved it so much!!!

A little slice of heaven on earth! As Spring Break rolled in, we wanted to do something a little different.

So much to love

It was my third stay in this cabin and it was just as perfect this time as it was the times before.So many touches of comfort and beauty in and out of the cottage. As always, I took so many photos of beautiful sunsets, morning fog above the valley, the train that whistles it's arrival as it crosses the valley, wildflowers, the list goes on.Truly one of my very favorite places.
