VALKYRIE Secluded Romantic River Cabin River and Mountain Views Log/Stone Cabin
This is simply the Nicest and Best Appointed cabin in Mentone. I should know considering then next three in line are also our cabins! AND I designed and decorated it. This Beautiful Cabin was taken timber by timber from its original location in Kentucky. It has a sister cabin many of you have stayed in-Fernweh-666662. IT is new-old construction taking over a year to build. Construction finish date was November 6th 2016. It is also a sister cabin to 'Away from it All' vrbo-480579 which many of you have had the pleasure of staying in. The cabin is model pre-civil war construction, it was reconstructed using modern mortar technique and then added on to in its current location. The Cabin sits at the end of a private gravel road on 25 secluded acres on the deep section of the Little River. Has a fenced yard for your doggie. Secluded is an understatement. It is situated on a bluff overlooking the Crystal Clear East Fork of the Little River, just below a waterfall and a creek which can be heard as soon as you open the door to the car during the wetter seasons. We have an inviting large covered front porch with swing and with a larger open uncovered front porch with ample log furniture where many a book has been read in the fragrant mountain air. There is also a covered and screened back porch and an open Back porch! The Cabin itself retains all of its antique charm as you enter the Great room with its stone double sided wood-burning fireplace serving the great-room and the Master bedroom both located on the lower floor. The Upstairs is separated by a staircase that leads to a private spacious upper loft that contains a King and 2 Queen Beds. The Master Bedroom downstairs is off of the Great-room and is garnered with mountain views through perfectly placed casement windows and King Bed, situated perfectly so that you can see the woods and sunrise from the bed. Enjoy the Wood Burning Fireplace in the Bedroom. Off of the Master Bedroom is a Beautiful Master bath with stone walk in shower and copper slipper tub, set below a large window overlooking the woods. All sinks were imported from a copper-smith in Mexico. There is a fully functional kitchen with stainless Full size appliances/dishwasher/stove/oven/refrigerator/freezer/microwave and all cooking supplies you could possibly need. One Bathroom Downstairs off of the Great-room with a combo-shower and bath Samsung HE Washer and Dryer, and a Master Bath off of the Master Bedroom with a Walk in Stone Shower, and Large Copper Slipper Tub. High Efficiency Samsung Washer and Dryer. 2 Flat Screen TV's with Direct TV up and downstairs with /DVD/Wireless Internet/Direct TV Network Sports/Central Heat and Air. I Message available-Cell phone coverage is available from the front porch though it can be spotty at times. I-phones work great through I-message or KIK/any internet messaging service. There is a Master Bedroom that overlooks a large elevated back porch over the river canyon and the river can be heard from an open window. There is a large stone hearth wood burning fireplace in the bedroom. The Bedroom opens onto a cozy screened in porch with a 5 person water therapy spa/hot-tub. There is a charcoal grill on the back porch. There is a fire-pit and picnic area above the river, and a built in natural trail to the river itself where depending on the water level you can swim/float/fish/lounge in the crystal clear mountain water. The house is about 10 minutes from Downtown Mentone, AL and 15 minutes from Fort Payne, AL for antique shopping/cultural activity/or fantastic food and music at the Wildflower Cafe or other restaurants. The canyon is also about 10 minutes away, and 5 Minutes from Alpine Boys Camp, Desoto State Park, Desoto Waterfall, and Lake. There are wildflowers galore and wild blueberries and blackberries and plums along the road depending on the season. Wildlife abounds everywhere. The Tin Roof provides a great sound to sleep to when it rains. The Cabin is beyond secluded on a private road.

Beautiful property if you’re looking for some solitude in nature! The house is well built with that modern rustic feel. It was nice and cool in the hot August weather, and had every comfort when away from home. We enjoyed being able to unplug and listen to the sounds of the woods and the river below. We made each of our meals at the cabin and found everything we needed in the kitchen. We loved being able to take a walk several times a day down the long winding driveway through the woods. And sitting on the front porch during a rain storm was heaven! Communication with the owner was great. He was always quick and courteous, like when we let him know we noticed the fire extinguisher had been discharged by a previous guest. He responded right away that he would get it replaced. We loved this property and look forward to our next visit! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place!

Great cabin! We loved it and so did kids. I fished in stream out back while kids swam. Very close to Desoto park which had zip line, swimming pool, and Indian falls. Went horseback riding right down the road. Saw deer, turkey, and a bear that ran off quickly.

Great Getaway
We truly enjoyed the seclusion and being where we could enjoy seeing the birds, deer, skunks and even a rat snake. The sound of the whip'o'wills in the evening was so calming. Our teenage granddaughter enjoyed the soaking tub immensely. Seeing the baby birds come out of their shells in the their nest above the front porch was a great treat ad well. The only suggestion that I would make would be a larger crock pot and a few more latge pots. We cooked in the evening and there were 5 of us.

Beautiful cabin, beautiful area. I do think the word " River" in the property description is miss leading. If you arrive at property expecting to see the river as I did, you will be disappointed . You will hear it below you but definitely no sight of it. Other than that definitely 5 stars beautiful property.

It's private and Secluded!!!
If privacy and seclusion is what you're looking for, this cabin is ALL of that!! We arrived 30 minutes before check in time, cabin wasn't clean, grass hadn't been cut. When the cleaning was finished and the cabin turned over to us was about 30 minutes after check in time. We unloaded our stuff, and a guy knocks on the door, there to cut the grass. The cabin and property should be clean and tidy BEFORE check in time, neither was done. The cabin is advertised as a water view cabin, you can hear it, see it or actually get to it, not so much. We brought our dog because he loves the water. Water will not be a big part of your stay here. The hike down the back of the cabin and back up is not for the faint of heart.The cabin itself is really nice, beds are comfortable. The bathroom and shower are fantastic. The TV upstairs wouldn't change channels with either remote. Not a big deal, we didn't come to watch TV, but it should be working.OVERALL: We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin and property are very nice. It's private and very peaceful to sit around and relax. The water access was a big reason we chose this cabin. The cabin is advertised as a river cabin, I don't feel like we got what was advertised as far as water access goes.

We enjoyed this spot! The river bank behind the cabin was such a nice place for the kids to climb rocks and fish. When we rode by other cabins in the area, we repeatedly said how happy we were that we chose a place more secluded. Would book again next time we go to Mentone!

This is a really beautiful cabin in a secluded location. The river? creek? behind the cabin was gorgeous. I was sad that it was too cold to get in (March). I like to choose this kind of place for family trips because it is secluded enough to make family time a priority but close enough to things to see to make it enjoyable for the kids. The stars were so beautiful.
