A wonderful quiet setting that is convenient to Mentone and Fort Payne. This cabin more than exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful time. The only minor concerns were the kitchen cooking utensils were minus a couple things; cutting board (we couldn't find one) and cutting knives. The grill outside might need and upgrade soon. These are just recommendations.Thanks for making our weekend wonderful! We've stayed in multiple cabins in this area and this is our favorite!

Getaway in the woods
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as described. We were close enough to town for supplies but far enough away to really enjoy being in the mountains. Communication was excellent and we were given recommendations on things to do and places to eat which is really helpful.

Beautiful property, great location
Property was clean and well stocked with extras. Plenty of extra towels, sheets, pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. The only thing missing was something to use as a chip clip for open bags of snacks but there was a roll of tape in the drawer so all needs were met!
The location is perfect. The Citadel boulders were a great surprise. We enjoyed exploring. We would choose this property again.

We have stayed here several times and always find it comfortable and clean. We attend a horse competition several times a year in Rainsville and the location is very convenient. We have stayed at a few other VRBO homes in the area, but this one is our favorite.

Perfect getaway house
This house could not have been more perfect. It was close to so many cool things. Just a short drive to Ruby falls and rock city. All the waterfalls around here are amazing to go see. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need! Which is a huge plus to my family i highly recommend this house and the host was very good in communication!

Beautiful Property
This property is absolutely beautiful. The cabin had everything we could possibly need. It is as spacious and clean. It felt like it was nestled among the trees. We could not have asked for a better experience. Our hosts were wonderful. They were open to communication and answered all my questions quickly. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for relaxation and beauty.

This property is very inviting and in a nice and relaxing part of the mountain near Fort Payne. The beds are very comfortable and it easily accomodated our group for the 3 days we were there. There are many things to do around this area and would recommend anyone looking for for a great place to stay near Fort Payne and the surrounding area to stay at. The hosts were very in touch with us through out our whole stay providing recommedations and things to do. Would definitely stay here again.

This was a quiet, peaceful getaway. The cabin was very clean, atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. The area had many things to see and do. We look forward to staying again. We had a couple of storms, rain (lots) and thunder, after there were quite a few mosquitos. We brought mosquito repellant so we were set.

Ultimate Privacy
Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property surrounded by trees is every direction giving us the feeling that we were in a much more remote location than we actually were. Check in and out were seemless and the house was as advertised. Loved walking a short distance into the woods to follow the beautiful mountain stream as it flowed just a few yards on the side of the house.
Will differently consider staying at the property again if in the area!
