About this property

Private Creek and walking distance to downtown Mentone!

Cozy cottage nestled in the woods with large screened in porch to listen to the birds. Bedrooms have blackout blinds for a prefect night sleep. Fire pit for evenings with the family. Only one mile to Mentone brow park to watch beautiful sunsets. We have games for the rainy days. Fully stocked kitchen. We are 1.4 miles from Lil Mole Run golf course, and best of all a private creek to walk and enjoy all to yourself. This is a new property and the yard is still in progress, thank you for your understanding.

Perfect getaway

This place was perfect for our little getaway. We saw deer the first morning we were there and enjoyed walking down to the creek. The rooms were nicely furnished and very comfortable. The gas fireplace heated up the cabin very quickly. We loved both porches and spent a lot of time on both. We also enjoyed the firepit area. The kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware. We will back.

Absolutely beautiful house! Very clean! Looks like a new build. Great selling point was the creek- my kids loved it. Also the big nice screened in porch and fire pit area. Large area in back where we played games of baseball.

Girls Bday Getaway

We absolutely loved everything about this property! Beautiful home! Decorated perfectly and soooo cozy! t was too cold to enjoy the great screened in porch and it is large! Our hostess thought of everything! Soaps, shampoo, coffee set ups. It was so close to shops, restaurants and Desoto Falls. My only regret was the weather forecast. We left a day early in case it iced over. Can not say enough good things! We will be back as soon as we can! Thank you Amy!

The Coziest!

This was the cutest little new “cabin” in the woods in the quaint mountain town of Mentone, AL. It has two huge bedrooms and bathrooms. The main living space was so cozy and comfy with a Christmas tree for the season. The gas fireplace was nice and toasty. The spacious outdoor covered porch was perfect for enjoying the woodsy scenery. It was about two minutes from downtown. Over all a fantastic getaway. Look forward to our next stay!

Wonderful Christmas Stay

We spent Christmas week at the cottage. Beautifully decorated, so peaceful and quiet. Amy is a wonderful host, quickly responds to questions. We felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. It was too cold for sitting on the fantastic porch (so we want to go back in warmer weather!)but we enjoyed walking to the creek out back. The area is full of beautiful places within short drives. Amy has thought of everything you may need during your stay. Creekside Cottage quickly became our favorite place to stay!!

Loved our stay!

What an amazing place! Everything was just perfect and looked so new. We had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy and just so many nice touches everywhere. We absolutely loved sitting on the screened in porch. It was just so quiet, beautiful, and peaceful sitting out there. I wish we'd had time to use the firepit because it looked so inviting. We did walk down to the creek and that was great as well. Perfect place to stay while in Mentone!

Celebrate our 50th anniversary

Our first time to do a VRBO & we were blown away,,,it was a perfect venue for our 50th anniversary. It’s a beautiful cottage with lots of room and the fall decor made it cozy. We can’t say enough of our host, Amy Kirby, checking to make sure if we needed anything. Great time to go in late October for the colors. Don’t miss a sunset @ Brow Park nearby, great breakfast at The Hatter, visited Desota Falls park & Little River Canyon & just drive around to see more scenery…it’s everywhere. Ft. Payne is not too far a drive for a WalMart run😊 One of our favorites was the screened -in -porch,,, to just chill, read, listen to the woodpecker,,, all the fall leaves dropping, it sounded like a gentle rain. You won’t be disappointed staying at The Creek Side Cottage,,, we didn’t want to leave!

Girls weekend

We came up to get away from work and family. The location is nice and quiet, very clean and had plenty of coffee cups. There is a screened in porch in the back that was really nice. We picked up food from The Wildflower Cafe and brought it back. Highly recommend.
