    We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday stay at this clean, comfortable cottage. Loved the Christmas tree and holiday decor. Susan, our host, was quick to respond when I reported a power outage. Beds were a bit too firm for our bad backs. Had everything we needed, although a new set of pots and pans would be an improvement. Neighborhood was safe, quiet, walkable and convenient to everything.

    Our stay was wonderful. The cabin was clean and impeccably decorated, with everything we needed. The furniture and bedding were comfortable. We reserved in March but didn’t come until October so there was one change. The living room daybed had been swapped out to a futon/couch, suitable for sleeping. (It was not an issue at all.) The kitchen was well stocked, with up-to-date appliances, and a pull-out spice cabinet. The yard was large and well kept, with a wooded area to one side. The neighborhood was safe and lovely.We’ve already talked about returning and we will stay here for sure.Communication was open and quick with the rental agent. A great stay for a great price!

    Susan's cottage was spotless and cozy for our 2 night stay. and she was fast at responding to messages. We happened to be in Mentone during some really cold weather so unfortunately didn't get to enjoy the outdoor amenities afforded at this place. The cottage is just a turn away from the main drag of Mentone with many restaurants and was easy to find. I'd recommend that you screenshot your check-in info prior to your arrival, as some cell reception can be spotty there and our Vrbo app had a hard time pulling info up while I was standing at the front door! (don't be like me!) Thank you for the cozy stay, Susan!

    The cottage is so cozy and a great layout with 2 bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. We enjoyed the open concept for our weekend. We cooked breakfast and dinner and the kitchen had all the pans/utensils we needed. The fireplace made for a great night sitting by the fire and watching TV. The only nit picky things that would have made it even better would be a true sofa instead of the futon style one with no arms and an end table. Also, the pillows were very flat so I'll remember to bring my own next time. If you're going to use the grill ask if they provide charcoal and lighter fluid (I don't think it's a propane grill) before you arrive so you can stop and get what you need. The location is fantastic. I've stayed further out in a more 'remote' location and the drive into town was a chore, but this location on a dead end, quiet road was perfect! We could pop up to the Mentone Market if we needed anything and it's close to 'town' and nature trails we wanted to explore. I will definitely return and when it's not so cold enjoy the big back deck!

    My husband and I traveled with our small dog north to visit two of our children. We used this cottage as a stopping point so we could gather. I had no knowledge of the area and found it was a camping area. That was perfect! It was so quiet. The cottage is not fancy and that was exactly what we needed. It was very well maintained and had a huge yard. It had everything we needed to make meals and used the local market to buy everything we needed. Added bonus is that it had a small Christmas tree. Host was great with communication. Rules were brief and straightforward. Hope to use this cute cottage for future stays!!

    Our stay in Sunshine Cottage was just what the Dr ordered. While not too far from home in Huntsville, it was peaceful, relaxing, and a break from our day-to-day life. The house was well appointed with all the necessities, clean, well kept, and I just loved the back porch. Although we didn't need the second bedroom for just my husband and I, we both commented on how nice it was for both bedrooms to have adjoining bathrooms. It rained quiet a bit while we were there so we didn't explore/walk or get to enjoy to small dock area as much as we would have liked, but that is the luck of the draw when planning a trip. We would definitely recommend and stay in Sunshine Cottage again.
