    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!

    This is the second time we’ve stayed in your cute house. It has all the amenities to cook at home. Close drive to Mentone and Fort Payne. So peaceful. Loved having a fire out by the lake!!! Thanks for a great vacation.

    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.

    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!

    My friends and I came for the weekend to celebrate our friend's 64th birthday and to escape from the madness of Nashville! We loved The Away Place. It was so peaceful and quiet out in the woods and the house was so beautifully decorated and comfortable. We sat for hours on the back deck overlooking the lake and couldn't be happier. Anyone staying in Mentone needs to go to the Mentone Market. Oh my gosh, they have everything you could possibly need and then some. LOL. You have to try their pizza and their chicken salad. Yumm yumm. Holly (with Delightful Retreats) was really great to work with and very responsive. I appreciate that a lot. I would recommend The Away Place to everyone. We are already planning on coming back in October.

    This house was amazing! My boyfriend an I went to get away for the weekend just to relax and this place was perfect for that. The hot tub was nice, I wish there was blinds or something to help block from the people across the pond but it was still nice.

    This property was perfect for our family trip. Very close to Desota State Park and Little River Canyon. Down Mentone was a delightful surprise. The property has such nice touches for your comfort. Holly with management was available for any questions we had. The kids loved the hot tub and the whole family enjoyed the fire pit. We loved it so much we are planning a return trip.

    I decided to make a trip out of evacuating Florida for a recent hurricane. This property is gorgeous, clean, peaceful perfection. Couldn't have asked for a smoother process. Great communication and awesome setting to spend a few days away - feels like total isolation but within close proximity to all modern conveniences you need! Can't wait to visit again.

    We had a great visit with my family. The home is lovely with all the conveniences you need and a home away from home. We fished and kayaked in the lake, relaxed in the hot tub, had a fire in the fire pit, it’s a nice area for taking walks. WiFi is good! Roku Streaming available. Convenient to everything in the area. Great place for dogs too.
