We did not know actually what to expect even tho we had done the review on line. We were totally pleased as soon as we stepped inside the door at Sunshine Cottage. Enjoyed a cup of coffee on the deck. The glider was awesome. Will definitely stay there again.

Deer in the yard. We’ve stayed her twice now. Can’t wait to go back in late Fall. Always clean and quiet. Roomy and cozy enough for my family to come over and hang out and play board games. Came to welcome my new great niece into the world! Already planning our next trip up!

We loved our stay at Sunshine Cottage. It was perfectly situated. We were able to spend time at DeSoto State Park and Cloudland Canyon Park without having a long drive. Very quiet area and a generous backyard that our dog loved. Thanks for a refreshing retreat.

It was such a peaceful weekend in a beautiful place; the cottage was lovely inside and out, and I underestimated how well stocked it was (cooking utensils, pots, etc.) Highly recommend!

Very nice. We are about 70 and had a little trouble with the three steps on the front porch to get in, not too bad. Everything worked well. Enjoyed the washer and dryer. Beds were clean and firm, slept well. We had to leave early because trees fell on the power lines and knocked out the power. My wife has to use a oxygen concentrator at night so I couldn't take a chance that we wouldn't have power. This was not the property's fault. The view out back, off the deck, was nice and serene, peaceful place to get away from the rush and relax. We really enjoyed it.

Small friendly town . Both the cottage and the grounds were impeccably clean. My wife and I travel a lot and she prides herself in always packing everything we need and extra, but the property owner made sure everything was provided to make our stay like home away from home. This made my wife happy. Did I mention how much she raved about how CLEAN AND QUIET. Excellent. She said on a ten star rating she gives them a TWENTY!

My husband and I were in town for five days to house hunt in the area of Mentone. We stayed at the Sunshine Cottage with our boxer dog and it was just so comfortable. The cottage was immaculate and the host was very available. We will come back again.

This property is very nice. It was perfect for our family trio and close to a lot of hiking. If you are looking to explore this part of the US, this cottage will be a great base camp!

Good place for two couples in a beautiful setting. The only complaint I had was prefer more seating in the living room over the daybed but we are all over 50. The setting was beautiful and the character of the farmhouse nicely restored.

The cottage was very quaint and extremely quiet. We didn't see anyone on the street we stayed on the whole time. Very small town with a few restaurants the Wildflower cafe was fantastic, I had the Prime Rib with blue cheese it was the best and the service was second to none. We would go back to both the cottage and Wildflower Cafe.

We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday. The owners obviously pay attention to detail. The house is well cared for and well stocked. It’s on a dead end road, and we had lots of safe places to walk our puppies. This is the second time we have stayed here, and we greatly enjoyed both visits. We will stay here again. It’s a great place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of our city lives back home.

This cottage is absolutely amazing! Very comfortable, peaceful and quaint! The cottage provides all essentials during your stay. We only stayed for 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer! My kids loved the area! Mentone is an adorable little town and just a short drive to Fort Payne. Desoto State Park is a must if you’re visiting…swimming, waterfalls and lots of trails! Highly recommend this cottage!! We hope to be back soon.

From the moment we entered the cabin, you knew that the owner and hosts really care about this place. Everything is immaculate - clean, well stocked, and incredibly well maintained. Great location: Down a dead end road, a block+ away from the busy street going through town, in a quiet neighborhood where you can walk your puppies safely, no traffic at all. The yard around the cabin is huge - probably 2 +/- acres. Nice areas to sit and enjoy the surrounding woods. The back deck is pleasant - very large. Half a block to a private dock over a branch of the Little River. I suspect they have a tankless water heater. It wasn’t an issue for us because my wife and our puppies came alone on this trip, but it was nice to have instant and endless hot water immediately when you turned on the tap. Great guest information book, which appeared to have been updated recently. Some good restaurants nearby (e.g., Wildflower). A great little general store close by (Mentone Market). There is a sidewalk about a block away that goes all the way into downtown Mentone if you want to stroll that far. We really enjoyed our stay - it was a great place to wind down for a few days.

I truly cannot put our experience into words at this property. Check in was a breeze but the experience of walking through the absolute cleanest vrbo we’ve ever stayed in was even better. Getting to the back patio and seeing the property and view was an absolute calming feeling to all our hearts. We were stunned. From fire flies to fires at the fire pit, comfy beds to warm showers, home cooked meals to barbecued dinners everything about this place just melted our hearts and makes us want to return. The small town has some amazing people in it, we made friends even though we were just visiting. The waterfalls surrounding and the awesome history close by made it even more worth it. WHEN we visit again, we will absolutely stay here again.
