Mentone, Alabama
Perfect for large groups that are looking for a secluded, rustic location, with wildlife, beautiful surroundings, direct access to miles of trails, and you can walk to a crystal clear swimming hole. After you spend a day hiking the trails, swimming, exploring the local waterfalls, or shopping, come back and enjoy a relaxing campfire and do some star gazing!
The rural Farmhouse with seven bedrooms, a huge kitchen and a large screened porch, this home is set up perfectly for groups. This 20-acre property adjoins the 14,000 acre Little River Canyon National Preserve / Desoto State Park. After walking out your back porch, passing the volleyball court / playing field / pond, you walk directly to trails that will take you to the Shigley swimming hole on the West Fork of the Little River. The miles of trails run along the Little River canyon rim and offer many areas to explore or just sit and relax while watching the river flow by!
If you want to explore the area, Chattanooga is nearby along with its world class aquarium, Rock City, and Ruby Falls. There are opportunities for zip lines, cave tours, guided night hikes, visiting the Orbix Glass Blowing Factory, horse back riding and more, right on Lookout Mountain. Visiting Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro is a unique experience and only an hour away. Driving 30 minutes past Scottsboro brings you to Huntsville, and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
If you are looking for a great place to stay in the country for your next family reunion, you've found the right place. You won't beat the location or the price!

We love coming here. Their property is amazing and they are always going the extra mile to make your stay perfect for what your group is looking for. Amazing hosts!
Excellent
What a unique property! I was here with a group of ladies and fully intend to bring my entire extended family back to this property.
Great property, owner and experience
We had a wonderful time staying here in early October. We were a large group with 13 adults and 7 children, but we didn't feel cramped. Ray and Bobbie were excellent hosts as they were responsive and helpful during our stay. The property on which the house is located is beautiful and well kept. I hope we get a chance to visit again!
Plenty big for our family get together with lots of beds and sofas if needed. A bit far from town and the grocery store but that makes it especially quiet. Very close to De Sota State Park and many beautiful waterfalls. The owner Ray was super responsive to our requests.
Twelve of us went as a spiritual retreat to this farmhouse. It was large enough to accommodate 21. The setting was peaceful and quiet. The house was unique with loads of character. I loved staying there. We had plenty of space so we weren’t cramped. The only negative was upstairs where I and 3 others slept 2 of the plugs didn’t work. I would recommend this farmhouse.
Love staying here, this is my second time. Responsive and helpful owners. Great location for activities in the Mentone and fort Payne area!
We had a great time! This is our fourth year going to this cabin, and we'll keep coming back. The cabin is clean and big enough for a group of our size. The surrounding property allows us to get outside and enjoy nature as well. Last but not least, the hosts are always great!
This farmhouse was a perfect place for our annual Family Christmas Getaway! The house has character with plenty of space to spread out and relax or to gather for meals, games, activities and conversation. Communication with the property manager was easy with quick replies and measures were promptly taken to resolve any issue that arose. Beds were plentiful and comfortable. There were many options available for things to do inside and outside. The children enjoyed role playing in the hair salon, with the hats, playing sardines and air hockey. Our family was pleasantly surprised with a dusting of snow the first evening. We enjoyed the close proximity of the walking trails, the iced over pond and the icicles found as we explored the Little River Canyon rim. It's location made it easy for taking a day trip to Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain Incline Railway. We highly recommend the Farmhouse and would love to stay there again.
This is our second visit to the Farmhouse! We had so much fun, I don’t know where to start!! Our family ranges in age as from single digits to 60’s and everyone had fun. Super friendly owners! They answer questions quickly and truly care that your stay is a good one. The Farmhouse is clean, roomy, comfortable, well stocked, and full of interesting rooms and furnishings. Two large tv’s allow for games and movies. Air hockey table keeps kids and adults happy. Large kitchen supplied enough room for dining and board games. Comfortable beds and fresh clean sheets made for restful nights. Large doesn’t describe it adequately; kids can run wild and adults can have conversations, all at the same time without intruding on each other. Again, I can’t stress enough how friendly and helpful the owners are! Will definitely be coming back!!!
This house was so massive the kids would wonder around trying to find each other. We had 8 adults and 12 children including children with special needs (Downs Syndrome, Autistic). We enjoyed ourselves so thoroughly that we plan to make the trip an annual event at this location. We played adults vs kids kickball in the field. There was an indoor hide and seek game every night once it got too dark to be outside. The kids played make-believe in the hair salon and dressed up in the hats. There was plenty of space and even extra beds! All the beds were amazingly comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with every kind of pot, pan, or dish you could possibly need. We brought crockpots and pans from home but didn't need any of it. Our phones had very little service but NO ONE missed it as we were all too busy visiting, talking, and playing with each other. Our kids had so much fun!!! I can't say enough wonderful things about our amazing hosts!!!! They replied quickly to any questions we had. I was worried they would regret renting to our group when they saw our massive group of kiddos. But they were so kind and open with the property and allowed us to make memories that will last a lifetime!
We had a wonderful time. House, grounds and pond were great. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time. House was perfect for our group (20 adults and children), lots of room, plenty of sleeping space. Kitchen was well stocked. Would highly recommend. We will stay here again.
Great old house rental, very unique and quirky. Must like old houses- I love them, lots of character. Owners live on property and are very nice. Hike to swimming hole was great! It's about a mile but our 3 year olds and 2 year old did fine with a little help. The last part is steep but it's worth the hike. Our group of 15 from 2 weeks old to 75 had a great trip to this old farm house. Grands loved the library! The 3 year old called it her new yellow house!
The house is more spacious than you can imagine from the photos. Even pillow cases and comforters smelled freshly washed! Excellent help and communication from the owners. A fantastic older farmhouse. I would stay here again without a second thought!
Everyone had an amazing time playing outside and hiking to the swimming hole. The house was the perfect size for a large group. All rooms were very clean and had comfortable beds. The kids have asked to go back again next year!!
If you’re looking for peace and quite you’ll find it here. This is quite a unique house and worked well for our Family vacation. There were 18 of us in all (4 families and our parents) and there was plenty of room for each family to have their own space. The house was clean, beds are Comfortable, the kitchen is well supplied with cooking necessities and there are plenty of towels. The owner went above and beyond purchasing an extra booster for cell service to accommodate one of our college age kids taking a summer class so she didn’t have to run into town for WIFI as the house does not have WIFI at this time. We weren’t too far from Fort Payne and we even ventured to Chattanooga for a day. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
Good, thanks
We had a family getaway and this property allowed plenty of room with beautiful scenery. A good time was had by all. Not too far from civilization but felt like escape from hustle & bustle.
