Nobody tells our story than our guests do. The guest who departed Oct 4, said, "We loved our stay at Moonflower Cottage. Everything was perfect. Ben was an amazing host and we had everything we needed and then some. We loved beginning our day on the back porch with a cup of coffee and ending our day with a glass of wine on the front porch as we watched the sun set. We will be back. Another recent guest said, "This property is beautiful and just what my mom and I needed. The location, view, amenities, and overall vibe of the property is absolutely spectacular. As we approached the property and saw the drive and view, we were amazed. Opening the door to the cottage was one of the best parts of the trip as it is total perfection! So cozy and comfortable with a beautiful front porch for sunset viewing and a screened porch for enjoying morning coffee. I can't recommend it enough! 10 stars!" Another recent guest commented, "We rebook this cottage again and again. Excellent amenities and great location. I've reviewed it each time. I would give it a 10 out of 5!!!! (It is exceptional.) Elegant, quiet, indoor and outdoor gathering spots, perfect views of the sunset from front porch rockers, wonderful comfy beds and lots of great books to read."
We invite you to come visit Mentone at Moonflower Cottage. Another recent guest said, "We enjoyed sitting on the front porch to watch the sun rise and set every day. Easy to find and very relaxing. Everybody in the area were so friendly and helpful. The property was very clean and comfortable. Loved the screened in back porch."
Mentone is a charming little town in northeast Alabama, just a few miles north of Fort Payne and 45 miles from Chattanooga. It sits atop Lookout Mountain, where the views are not only spectacular but there are wonderful places for hiking, the 104-foot DeSoto Falls just three miles away, and we are close to DeSoto State Park. The flora and fauna are spectacular year around and Moonflower is an easy 1/4-mile walk to the heart of Mentone, where there are charming stores and restaurants and more on the way. 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.
Moonflower Cottage will be the star of the your visit. Imagine being surrounded by antique furniture and oriental rugs, granite countertops and stainless appliances, two king en suites with full baths, and a fully equipped kitchen that's been described as "extraordinary."
The screened back porch offers gentle breezes, comfortable wicker furniture and a dining table for six. The front porch has four rocking chairs and it's the best place on earth to see incredible sunsets.
Now, read all our reviews and hear what our guests have said. Please note how many of them compliment us on how clean our cottage is. Then, book your stay quickly. Moonflower Cottage is very popular so pick your dates and come stay with us.

Perfect Cottage Getaway
Not our first stay in the lovely and unique town of Mentone; but, our first stay in Moonflower cottage. This cottage is in an ideal location with breathtaking views from the front porch. The amenities were first rate. Even though it was rainy and windy for much of our stay, thanks to Hurricane Francine, we enjoyed our relaxing, cozy, and comfortable stay in this ideal cottage. Thank you, Mr. Ben, for your assistance! We hope to be back in the Spring!

Another relaxing stay
Gracious owner and delightful housekeeper. We locked ourselves out and within an hour we were back in. It was Friday night when we inconvenienced them, but Lynn made it seem humourous. As always, the cottage has a luxurious aura. Such comfortable nesting spots that it is hard to choose: the screened porch, the porch rockers overlooking the brow, or the recliners in front of the big fireplace. We cannot wait to return. inconvenienced

We needed a long weekend as a family and Mentone is one of our favorite little towns. Ben was absolutely phenomenal from the beginning. He gave us great recommendations on things to do/places to eat. The cottage was wonderful. Well equipped, nicely decorated, and the views at Brow Park across the street were AMAZING!! We will definitely be staying here on our next Mentone trip!

Excellent return visit
This is the second time two of us from our party have stayed in this property. This long weekend in July was just as good (or even better) than our visit in December. Perfect location! Walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Sit on the front porch and view beautiful sunsets. Super clean and nicely decorated with antiques and oriental rugs. The beds are very comfortable and the sheets are quality 100% cotton. This is a wonderful house at a great price! We will definitely return to Mentone and rent this property.

This cottage was everything advertised and more. It was super clean and so comfortable and relaxing. The location is perfect- beautiful views, quiet area and close to restaurants and shops. The screened porch was our favorite spot. It was private and felt like you were one with nature with all the greenery around. We would definitely stay there the next time. We highly recommend it!
