About this property
The Overlook-gorgeous views
There’s a reason why it's named "The Overlook." While you're relaxing in the outdoor hot tub on the large covered porch, you'll be awestruck with the views of the valley below and the mountains of Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia! Getting back to nature to soothe your soul is simply amazing! As you enter the home, you'll notice the cottage feel. Modern rustic with whimsical touches, the living room is comfortably adorned for watching the flat-screen TV or enjoying the gas log fireplace. A modern kitchen has everything you need to whip up snacks or a gourmet meal, whether you enjoy gathering for dinner or taking it out to the porch to enjoy the pure mountain air. A full size washer/dryer puts convenience at your fingertips. The downstairs bedroom features a King bed and ensuite bathroom with gorgeous, tiled shower. Upstairs, two Queen bedrooms with large bathroom with tub/shower. Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat to relax or a romantic holiday rendezvous, The Overlook is just what you need for that perfect getaway. A local downtown area offers shopping and dining and is a great day-trip, while your evenings can be spent watching the breathtaking sunset from the hot tub, enjoying the cozy fireplace, or sharing memories around the fire pit. Where else can you have it all and detach from the world in your own little bubble of natural beauty?
This cabin is located in a rural, wooded environment. During certain times of the year, seasonal insects such as beetles and stink bugs are common in the area and may occasionally enter the cabin. These insects are harmless and are a normal part of staying in a natural setting. Preventative pest-control measures are in place; however, complete elimination is not possible in this environment.
Guests will be required to complete a rental agreement, provide a valid photo ID, and submit a refundable damage deposit hold. This property welcomes up to 2 dogs with prior approval and applicable pet fee.

Very comfortable house. Unbelievably beautiful view!! Wonderful stay all around!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay celebrating my birthday. We love the town of Mentone and the beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails. This house is gorgeous, but it is topped by the incredible view! We will be back!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
We really enjoying our time at the cabin. We love sitting on the desk eating dinner and watching the sun go down over the mountains. Also enjoyed the hot tube with the view. It's a very comfortable and cozy. Once we get there we did not leave until check out. Everything you need is right they. I can not wait to go back.
My husband & I along with another couple stayed in The Outlook from Friday to Sunday. It was the perfect place! We loved the house, the location, the amenities, the cleanliness and the decor. We hope to visit again! As for Mentone, the shops were fun to visit & see all the creativity and arts. The Wildflower Cafe is a MUST as well as The Hatter. Mentone is a small quaint town that allows you somewhat be unconnected from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Definitely recommend The Outlook in Mentone.

BEAUTIFUL cabin with an SPECTACULAR view!!
This cabin was absolutely PERFECT for us to get away for a relaxing weekend! All the comforts of home were provided for a truly enjoyable stay. Since it was just the two of us, we didn’t use the bedrooms upstairs, but the king bed downstairs was very comfortable. We really appreciated the reclining sofa in the den, too - great for watching movies at night! And the view!! We could’ve sat on the spacious deck for days just taking it all in. It was so peaceful and quiet on top of the mountain. We ’ve found our new favorite getaway and are looking forward to our return!
The view was so beautiful! The home was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a short stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to stay in Mentone. Thank you for the great memories oh and the being in the hot tub at night staring up at the stars was delightful!

The Overlook
We had Wonderful stay at the Overlook. I am sure we will be back soon.
The New Overlook was a nice escape just to relax and unwind. My cousins and I enjoy our short stay here. Mentone is very welcoming. We shopped and at lunch at Mentone Market. The pizzas are so good. We also picked apples at Little River Orchard and I can't wait to return just for the apples.

Southern travel at its finest
What a pleasure it was to stay at the Overlook. The pictures do not do the Lookout Mountain View justice. Truly spectacular beauty, seeing a sunset here and an incoming storm was just awe-inspiring. This place was so cozy and clean and was the perfect spot for me and my family and our dog, Judy.

Fantasic Cabin!
Best place to stay in Mentone! The beds are very comfortable! All 5 of us slept amazingly each night. We enjoyed the Keurig and making our coffee, and then we would sit on the porch to watch the sunrise! We brought our two dogs and they LOVED hanging out on the porch! We would get in the hot tub at night while the dogs looked out the porch railings. The washer and dryer was fantastic too! We enjoyed walking several miles in the morning from the cabin. It was the best location! We will definitely stay here again soon!
