Waterfall Adventure

Hootin' Henri gave us great access to the waterfalls near Mentone and Fort Payne, Alabama. We enjoyed our time at the cabin and exploring the area. The cabin was conveniently located and had everything we needed. I have recommended this property to several friends who will be visiting that area.

Wonderful Get-Away

Cozy Cabin was a delightful place with awesome location. Even though it was close and walkable to town, the cabin felt secluded. My dog Maya liked it too and met a neighbor’s dogs. The interior was cozy indeed!

This cabin was impeccable! We had the most relaxing stay. It is conveniently located to town, shops, restaurants, DeSota Falls, & the Brow. However, it was peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed every minute and hope to return one day soon.

Hootin Owl

Communication with Juli was awesome. We did have a couple of issues. I believe the FireStick failed because we couldn't watch any TV. (We didn't come there to watch TV, but the next guest might be concerned). The main issue that I think you need to address is there is septic gasses coming from Shower and toilet. We had to keep the door closed. These are just some suggestions because we love the place and Juli was awesome to communicate with.

Beautiful, Comfortable Cabin in the Woods

Located within easy walking distance of all that Mentone has to offer, this delightful cabin in the woods was the perfect hideout for a relaxing weekend in the mountains. Our stay was lovely from start to finish. The cabin was beautiful and well setup - we had everything we needed and loved returning to "our" peaceful little oasis after a busy day. We really appreciated being able to bring our dogs with us too. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here to our family and friends, and hope that we can visit again soon!

Hootin’ Henri Review

This cute, quaint cabin is exactly as pictured and described. It was very clean, and full of all the extra little commodities to truly make you feel at home. Ms. Juli was very responsive and friendly, and even shared multiple things to do locally the day we arrived. It’s located within walking distance of Mentone, and only minutes drive from endless breathtaking views throughout. We would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend this cabin for anyone wanting to get away.
