Our host, Michael provided detailed check-in instructions. The cabin was well stocked if you plan to cook, k-cups available to get started, and spices available! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We even enjoyed a fire in the firepit with the wood provided by our host; beautiful evening and wonderful view.I highly recommend this property and would stay again in the future! Thank you Michael for being an excellent host and allowing us to enjoy your paradise in the mountains!Cindy & John

The house was perfect and very well stocked with everything we needed. It smelled clean, and the floors were spotless. You can tell that care was taken when choosing everything from the ceiling fans, mattress, and towels, and kitchen supplies. Extra touches like a removable shower head and supplied shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were appreciated. The view of the brow was what made us choose this location. It did not disappoint! Quiet, calm, peaceful…..exactly what we needed!

Our daughter had a school assignment to plan a vacation and we decided to actually put all of her hard work to use. So we lived out her planned vacation. Loved the cabin and the area.

If you are looking for a beautiful place to relax, near town but still feels secluded, a fire pit to sit by and enjoy the sunset overlooking the valley below, this is the place. Absolutely perfect. We were looking for a relaxing getaway and that is exactly what we got. The host has a guide on the coffee table that has all of the information on things to do, restaurants, and local sights. The cabin was cozy & comfortable, everything you could need is there, and most of all - very clean! The host is easily accessible and responsive if needed during the trip. We are already planning another trip to stay in the same cabin in the winter or spring. I highly recommend staying at Bear Brow!!

This place is heavenly and we didn't want to leave! The owners thought of everything we could need, from charger ports in every room to quality dishes and beautiful decor. The television is large with all the usual streaming channels. Comfortable reclining sofa and comfortable chairs. It's just a beautiful place and the view would never get old! I will be back for my next Mentone trip.

If you are tired of politics and depressing news, this is where you can escape from all the noise of society. No wild politicians, only wildlife. Peace and quiet. It is a lovely home with all the accoutrements one needs and gorgeous views. One of the highlights you will experience is sitting on the precipice of the ridge in adirondack chairs, with a fire burning in the fire pit, overlooking the valley and watching the sunset. Nearby you should visit Cloudland State Park, DeSoto Falls, and Little River Canyon National Preserve, in particular the Visitor Center ( an extension of Jacksonville State University ) and the Canyon Rim Dive.

It rained the majority of our stay so we didnt get as much outdoor time as I had hoped - but that's Alabama weather! All the more reason we really appreciated how warm and inviting the cabin was. I cooked several meals - everything was there that I needed. Also, plenty of hot water, towels, etc. Bed was very comfortable. We ventured a few times into Mentone (just 4 miles) and explored a few of the indoor art venues. Great pizza at Mentone Market! I will definitely stay here again!

Absolutely AMAZING!!

I’ve stayed at quite a few VRBO’s and this one had so many extra little touches! The cabin was so clean and well decorated and just plane comfortable!!! The view was amazing!!! The host was VERY responsive! And the little extras like a snack basket, toothbrushes (even though we didn’t need them), and extra towels were just above and beyond what we expected!!! Also the location was perfect (Mentone one way and Little River Canyon the other) We throughly enjoyed our stay!! I highly recommend this cabin!!

Great place to stay for our visit to the Mentone area. Very convenient to DeSoto Falls and Little River Canyon.Beautiful view of the valley while enjoying the firepit. Host was very helpful in providing all the information needed to make our stay enjoyable, including great restaurant recommendations. Having Chuck, the resident woodchuck, make regular visits was a bonus!
