About this house rental

Summary:
The sleepy town of Mentone invites you to Ruby's Roost. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, and a lower-level kitchenette with an additional sitting area, Ruby's Roost provides ample room for both entertainment and relaxation inside and out.

The Little River Canyon National Preserve is located just 1.7 miles away from our home.

When it is cold enough, you can ski at Cloudmont Ski Resort, and when it’s warm enough you can swim in the river!

We can't wait to host you!

The Space:
Upon arrival, enjoy the breathtaking scenery that can be appreciated from one of the many vantage points on our property. Come inside, and you will find the view is just gorgeous! The main level of our home boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-concept living space. Guests will enjoy our full, eat-in kitchen, stocked with all the basics needed to settle in and feel "at home." Our living room provides ample seating options and a large flat-screen TV with Roku. Unfortunately, the fireplace is currently out of commission. We hope to have it up and running soon! A queen bedroom and a full bathroom are located on the main level as well.
Please continue to the upper level of our house, where guests will continue to enjoy views of the valley below. Two queen bedrooms, each with direct access to a shared full bathroom and laundry can be found on this level. An additional lounge space with games and a futon is upstairs.
The lower level of the home offers a shared relaxing/sleeping space, which includes a small kitchenette, a queen bed, a bunk bed, and a sofa. The last private bedroom is in the basement with a king bed.
Make sure to try to narrow down your favorite outside spot as well! With three levels of decking that wrap around the house, as well as a fire pit and other various places to sit back and relax, you might find yourself spending more time outside than inside! Don't forget to take time to check out the beautiful wildlife around the property, especially the ladybugs! Welcome to our home! We hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do!

***Wildlife frequents this area; please use caution***

***We love our big, warm windows - and in the winter, so do ladybugs! They are harmless but resistant to pest control treatments. Please open and close the door to the porch quickly to reduce the number that gets inside. If they do, a small vacuum is in the corner of the dining room. You can suck them up and dump them back outside!***

***Please inquire about our other home on our property, the Magpie Nest! This additional unit is positioned above the detached garage high in the trees, boasting an apartment living feel w/1 bedroom, one bath, and the same fantastic view! Rent the homes separately or together for a fabulous family retreat!***

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding our home! We look forward to hosting you!

I do not feel this property was worth the price or was accurately described. It must have been staged for its photos because it is much more cluttered than the pictures. The house was full of dead ladybugs. The windows are large and had dead insects on them. The shower upstairs was not clean and had dried soapscum. The toilet paper in the basement had actual mold on it. Worst- because they did not leave anyone dish pods, all the dishes were dirty. Some of the glasses had lipstick on them and the plates/utensils had dried food. I guess people were just putting away their dishes dirty. I bought dish pods and left some so hopefully the next person does not have to hand wash all their dishes before they can use them. While we were there, water was leaking somewhere and saturating the carpet in the sunroom. I told the management company. There is no way I would have paid this much for a weekend at this property had I known.

Our family loved the beautiful views and the comfortable space of this cabin. The location was extremely convenient to all that Mentone and Fort Payne has to offer. Easy check in process and very clean. We did not cook, but the cabin has anything you could possibly need to enjoy your own meals. We also noticed they had some neat game options in the closet and even disc golf and other outdoor options as well. We loved lounging on the three porches.
