About this property

Lagniappe Lodge -18 acres of amazing views and 2 waterfalls, with Internet!!

Welcome to the Lagniappe Lodge – our own hidden slice of tranquil mountain life. We named our place the Lagniappe Lodge because the word “Lagniappe” is a Cajun word (pronounced lan-‘yap) that means “a little something extra” and that is exactly what this place is – full of extra features and surprises.

If you are looking to stay at a place that is unique - look no further.
The Lagniappe Lodge is completely off the grid. All of our power is solar-generated and all of the water comes from an on-site well. We now have high-speed Internet through Starlink, so you can stay connected while enjoying the isolation and tranquility of the property, while unwinding from the distractions of today’s busy life. We also have a back-up generator to ensure there is always adequate power to the cabin.

The Lagniappe Lodge is a 3,000 sq foot, 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom cabin with a spacious loft and can sleep 8 guests comfortably. The entire cabin consists of an open floor plan with multiple sitting areas to relax and visit. The cabin is filled with special architectural features, including:
- Vaulted all-wood ceilings
- Reclaimed wooden beams throughout the house, sourced from the original Atlantic City boardwalk
- Floor to ceiling windows offer a magnificent view of the canyon, through reclaimed hand-blown glass windows sourced from one of the oldest courthouses in Tennessee
- Two reclaimed stained glass windows, sourced from a church in Pennsylvania and England
- Stone wall built with rocks collected from the property
- Large natural rock face mantle in the den - there is literally the side of the mountain in the living room
- Huge wrap-around deck with 1000 sq ft of space to enjoy the outdoors
- Outdoor fireplace

The property is 18 acres of beautiful forest and rock formations, situated on the side of a canyon that overlooks Johnnie's Creek. There are two waterfalls on the property, the largest of which is visible from the deck and side patio. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting outside and listening to the sound of the waterfall. You are more than welcome to explore and hike throughout our property to fully enjoy it.

Master Bedroom:
- Sleeps 2
- Queen bed
- Private bathroom with shower and slipper tub

Guest Bedroom:

Loft:

The property is equipped with security cameras to monitor the outside of the property. The cameras are positioned on the outside of the property, only where there are external doors. There are no cameras or recording devices anywhere inside of the cabin. The cameras were placed intentionally to afford guests maximum privacy on the large covered patio and wrap-around deck.

About the host

Hosted by Adam Arceneaux

Host profile image
Adam first found the Mentone / Fort Payne area many years ago when he was looking for a place to go hiking. Being from Louisiana, northeast Alabama was the closest place that offered incredible views, big rock formations, and beautiful waterfalls - all within a reasonable driving distance. I was instantly hooked and have been coming back ever since, bringing my kids, friends, and family. In 2020 I decided that I wanted to have a place of our own in the area that we could escape to as often as we wanted, but also to share our love of the place with others.

Why they chose this property

This property spoke to me like no other place we visited in the area. Everything about it is so special and unique - from all of the historic pieces that were used in the construction, to the beautiful land, rock formations, and waterfalls. I love seeing how different the property looks every season with the changing leaves and constantly shifting water flows. The first time I visited the property and heard the sound of the waterfall rolling, I was immediately filled with a sense of calmness and relaxation, which is ultimately what made me choose this as our escape. I wanted a place to get away from the world and relax and just be in nature, and I found the perfect sanctuary. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

The Lagniappe Lodge is located on 18 acres, sitting on the side of a canyon overlooking Johnnies Creek. It is truly a unique place with one-of-a-kind craftsmanship that went into building the home. We have two waterfalls - the largest of which can be seen and heard from the side patio and deck. The 1,000 sq ft wrap-around deck provides ample space outdoors to sit and relax and enjoy the beauty of the place. There is plenty of space to hike around the property or you can head to any of the nearby attractions or parks to go exploring. We love the area and have provided a book full of activities, local flavor, restaurants, and other attractions to spend your time doing.
