Why visit Mentone, Alabama? "one of the prettiest towns in the Appalachians"
https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/14-prettiest-towns-in-the-appalachians-2025.html
Like great reviews? Here's one from Feb. 3. "Always clean, always easy process. Quality accommodation with lots of little extras that make it a cut above...". Here's another from Dec. 31, a repeat visitor. "My husband and I have been coming to Mentone for many years, and our son and his friend came with us. We enjoyed the Christmas decor and the cottage was very clean. Located across the Brow we got to see some great views and a beautiful sunset. Enjoyed shopping and eating at some great restaurants too. We will be coming back and hopefully stay at Moonflower Cottage."
We invite you to come visit Mentone at Moonflower Cottage. Mentone is a charming little town in northeast Alabama, just a few miles north of Fort Payne and 45 miles from Chattanooga. It was recently named one of the top 24 small towns in America. 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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ben Shurett
Mary and I chose to retire in Mentone after having a part-time home here for about 10 years. This special place grabbed our heart with its special spirit and incredibly friendly people. We were drawn to living atop Lookout Mountain, the beauty of all four seasons, the 100-foot waterfall and the charm of this place. It's our forever home.
Why they chose this property
We couldn't resist the location, location, location. The property is located on the west brow of Lookout Mountain, with a fabulous view of terrific sunsets from the rocking chairs on the front porch.. It's in Brow Park, just one-tenth of a mile to the city center, and easy walk to several restaurants and charming shops. It's time for a visit to the mountains of Alabama!
What makes this property unique
Location is the key – rock on our front porch and enjoy spectacular sunsets on the horizon. We're at an elevation of more than 1,860 feet so you can see for miles and miles and we have cooler than normal weather here so you can avoid hot summer weather almost all the time. Take a short drive to one of the highest waterfalls in Alabama at more than 100 feet. Perhaps best of all, you can walk to downtown Mentone and enjoy dining, the Art Center and speciality shops. Moonflower Cottage is equipped with every amenity we could think of and, if we're missing anything, let us know. There's a sweet, sweet spirit about Mentone. Come see us!
