My friends and I are always so happy when we get to stay at this special cottage!It is so cozy, clean, beds are super comfortable. The location is amazing, such a view!!! We love everything about it and we plan on coming back!
We loved the cottage and can’t wait to come back. We came for a lazy stay and the cottage had all the comforts of home. The cottage was clean, bed was so comfortable and the hot tub was nice and clean. I highly recommend this cottage.
This was our fourth time to stay at Stoneridge and we will be back. Jerome & Liz are wonderful hosts and have a wonderful cabin on the Brow in Mentone. The views down into the valley are amazing. If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway this is the place.
This was our second visit here. My only regret is that I did not know about this place before. Very spacious and accommodating. We especially loved the screened in back porch and hot tub, both overlooking the valley with beautiful sunsets. No complaints here!!
15/10! Stoneridge Cottage is one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. It was quiet, quaint, and very clean. I was so grateful that the owners allow dogs, and my pup and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area and hiking at DeSoto State Park. Mentone is beautiful, and the sunsets were spectacular. It was the perfect spot for a low-key, restful vacation. Will definitely return!
This cottage is so charming! The views are amazing but yet the home is still very close to town. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a day of hiking and sightseeing. I would strongly recommend this cottage and I look forward to staying again.
We loved our time here! It was very clean and the view was beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice as it was much nicer in person and that is not always the case. The hot tub was very appreciated after hiking to see the falls. Very close to town. Well stocked and would love to stay again.
Beautiful little cottage. Cozy with a great view. Very clean and comfortable. Only thing that was a challenge was controlling temperature in the cottage, but understandably since it is an old building. We would definitely stay here again.
