Named "the most relaxing town in Alabama" by World Atlas. Two master en suites!

Why visit Mentone, Alabama? World Atlas review of pretties Appalachian towns said, "Nestled in the mountains, this small adorable town, big on charm, southern hospitality, and nature, is a favorite escape in the state, no matter the taste! The hub for local artists, Mentone Arts and Cultural Center is like a window for the whole region's creative spirit, with rotating exhibits and hands-on workshops! With the nearby DeSoto Falls and plentiful cabin stays, Mentone is the loveliest to visit in the shoulder season for fresh buds stark against rhododendrons in spring and glorious leaf-peeping along the slopes in the fall! The rugged wilderness of Mentone is your go-to for kayaking and rock climbing.

"Perched quintessentially atop Lookout Mountain, Mentone's unique tapestry of attractions offers insightful, fun ways for families to discover the pretty town in the mountain's breath. The unmissable heritage monument of the Old Union Crossing Covered Bridge captures the essence of Mentone's past, while the Shady Grove Dude Ranch is an equestrian favorite for scenic horseback rides. From Wildflower Café to Mentone Log Cabin Village and Mentone Arts and Cultural Center, the Mentone Fall Festival brings all the local crafts, seasonal treats, and family attractions to the streets!"

Like great reviews? Here's one from January 2026. "Moonflower Cottage never disappoints. This was our 11th visit & as always it is by far the best! A cozy, beautiful cottage with a fabulous view. The screened back porch is perfect for reading, eating or just relaxing. Moonflower is located within walking distance of Mentone Market, where you can eat, or shop, the Arts Center & two popular restaurants, Elevation Bistro & Wildflower Cafe. Easy access to the host if a need arises. Once you visit you’ll want to go back!"

Be sure to visit the nonprofit Mentone Arts Center, as well as Elevation Bistro, Wildflower Cafe, the Mentone Market, The Hatter Restaurant and other specialty stores in town and nearby.
