The hot tub was loved by all. It was so cold and the hot tub felt wonderful. It would be really nice to have more dish towels available in the kitchen. There was only one. More wash towels also in the bathrooms. The rooms were all very clean. We enjoyed the fireplace very much. The living room furniture was definitely not the most comfortable we’ve ever used! The beds were comfortable and cozy. A TV in the bedrooms would have been nice also. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Beautiful cabin, Great Lake view

We went on a weekend girls trip. Really enjoyed this beautiful cabin. There was plenty of space for the 4 of us. The place was modern, clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has nice extras such as keurig pods, sugar etc. We enjoyed the view of the small lake from back porch as well as the hot tub! The hosts were responsive and kind. We thought we were going to have to reschedule our trip because of the winter storm, but it all worked out! We would love to return if ever back in Mentone!

Big Blue cabin in the woods

This home is amazing. It’s beautifully appointed and super comfortable. We appreciated the cleanliness, well stocked kitchen and thoughtful design of the home. It’s a perfect, quiet place in the woods but also super close to both Mentone and Ft Payne. As always, Holly was helpful and kind during our stay. We can’t wait for our next visit.

Perfect weekend

We wanted somewhere to go for a long relaxing weekend and this fit the bill! It was perfect! The house was clean and things like fans and lights were turned on when we got there. My husband loved the pond to fish in, and the pups and I loved the back porch to relax on while we watched him fish! Cannot recommend this place enough!
