Great cottage! So close to Mentone!

This was a perfect cottage for a girls weekend! Three of us stayed here comfortably! We enjoyed the cozy living room, snacks by the firepit and the hot tub. The location was so close to Mentone and not far from Fort Payne!

Perfect house in the perfect location

We have stayed with Delightful Retreats multiple times, and every time the house has been exactly as advertised. This house is walkable to downtown Mentone and all the shops and restaurants. The property is beautiful and you aren't crammed on top of neighbors. Cannot recommend enough.

Relaxing/Laid back weekend

Beautiful and Romantic!

I took my girlfriend to Mentone for a romantic birthday to get away from the city. I found The Garden Cottage and boy, is it a fabulous place!! Walking distance to town, quiet and well kept. Cabin is stellar! Clean, well stocked, and with a real kitchen! Very tastefully done overall. Both the GF and I really enjoyed the stay. This is definitely a return-to cabin.

Paradise in the Mountains

We had the most perfect stay here! The cabin was unbelievably cozy, warm, welcoming, and had everything we needed. One of our favorite parts was slipping into the hot tub after a day of wandering through the shops in Mentone, or hiking and exploring DeSoto State Park. Everything about this place felt just right. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise with us. We will be dreaming about coming back!

Hot tub was so relaxing and the garden spot was almost whimsical at night the way the entire thing lite up. The multitude of crickets singing at night was amazing and I’m certain a bullfrog frequents the garden fountain as I heard his croaking as well. I would stay again. Very homey feel

Relaxing Stay!

We enjoyed our weekend in Mentone at the Garden Cottage. It is very cozy, has a well stocked kitchen and beautiful yard with a fountain. We also enjoyed the side screen porch and hot tub. It is very close to Mentone center so we enjoyed visiting the Mentone Market and the taco food truck. The sunset at Brow Park is beautiful and very close to this cabin. Holly is very responsive and there was also a basket of snacks when we arrived. A lovely, well maintained cabin and we would stay again!

The Garden Cottage is an extremely fabulous place to getaway! I went with one of my best friends and we had the most relaxing weekend. We spent a little time in the Mentone shops area but mostly at the cabin. It is so beautiful and well appointed. Will definitely book again!

First stay at the Garden Cottage

What a perfect place to get away from it all. The cottage is darling and all decorated for fall with mums out front and pumpkins! There was plenty of space inside to watch the ball games and even a small fenced in area outside. Very comfortable place and perfect location to get any place on the mountain. Will definitely be back!!!

Cabin in the woods

It was a quiet cabin...a little hard to find as GPS wanted to take us to the other side of Co Rd 89...several times The cabin was quaint, clean and just a relaxing time for our 10th wedding anniversary...we should have brought our dog but we were worried he might freak in a new place
