Great location! So close to the waterfalls, Mentone Market and trails! Delicious food truck right up the way and we used the kayaks all day! Super clean, great beds (including trundle) and supplies for a great weekend with kids and no husbands!

The house was very spacious and easily accommodated our family group of 5. Everyone had their own bathroom and private bedroom with a queen or king sized bed. The washer/dryer were very useful. Stephanie was available when I had questions. We were pleased with the house and would certainly stay there again! G. Saylors

Perfect spot for relaxation and family time. House, amenities, and recreational activities exactly as described. Our family ages 3 to 68 enjoyed every minute of our 4 day vacation. From hiking, to swimming, to kayaking, to fishing, to eating, to sitting by the fire pit and enjoying s’mores, to just plain ole relaxing on the deck- we all had a wonderful relaxing but busy long weekend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lazy River Cottage! It is a beautiful cabin stocked with everything you need. And it really is just steps away from DeSoto Falls - we walked there a few times during our stay! The kitchen is a tad small, but all the other rooms are very spacious and well furnished. We really enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the river, and making smores around the fire pit. Stephanie was very kind to check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this vacation rental. My family is already asking when we can go back! :)

We came to town for a wedding in Rising Fawn GA and stayed at the lazy river cottage. It was perfect. Beds were comfy and house was impeccable. Whenever I had any questions, the owner was fast to respond. Overall would give this a 5 star review. Beautiful home with plenty of small town charm.

We could not have chosen a better location and home for our women's retreat. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, being on the water. The fire pit was wonderful and we walked to the falls. Simply perfect!
