Once again, the cabin and amenities did not disappoint!! We love the fenced in yard for out dog. He loves it as well. He loves to swim in the creek and chase sticks. It is in a quiet place with little to no traffic. The hot tub is awesome after a long hike. We plan to come back one weekend during the fall. ##### Lulu N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robyne C.

May 23, 2024 #### Awesome place to stay My 87 year old mother and my sister wanted to stay in a cabin in Mentone, where we could relax and just enjoy spending time together. My mother was also bringing her 2 year old dog for her first trip. This is a perfect place if you have pets or kids or just want to relax. The river is amazing and full of fish and there are plenty of indoor and outdoor activities. The place was very clean and well stocked. We will be staying again more than likely in the fall to enjoy the season change. ##### Elizabeth M.

Nov 9, 2024 #### Wonderful fully fenced pet friendly home My husband and I stayed two nights with our new rescue dog and we all had a great time. The house was clean and cozy. Beds were comfortable, shower had good pressure and lots of hot water. The Shire is in an easy location to get in and out, but private enough that you feel secluded. The fenced in yard was the biggest part for us. We could let our dog outside to play knowing she was safe and couldnโ€™t get lost. Lots of amenities like washer/dryer, hot tub, fire pit and kayaks for your use. ##### Heather L.

Mar 18, 2024 #### Spring Break at the Shire We had a great and relaxing stay at the Shire over our Spring Break week. Our son enjoyed taking the kayaks out each afternoon and we are enjoyed the wood fire pit followed by a soak in the hot tub every evening. It was quiet, safe, and easy to find. We found the beds comfortable and we all slept well. Close proximity to Mentone and all the area has to offer. We would definitely love to return and explore more in this area. The cabin is located right near the state line with a respective time zone change, so be aware that your phone will keep changing time as you arrive and depart. ##### Kent A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamara T. Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pick The Shire for your R&R vacay We are from Florida and take a vacation every summer to a different state. I like to plan our vacations around waterfalls, lakes and rivers. The Shire was the perfect place for us. We love cozy cabins/cottages and this did not disappoint. Right on the river with kayaks to use. We also brought our own floats which were very relaxing on the river. Some of the nearby waterfalls were dried up due to lack of rain but I was happy to get to see 5\. The Shire was was clean and came with a lot of amenities others don't offer. Holly was amazing by accommodating us for an extra night. She also helped us find The Shire since we punched in the wrong County Road (oops)! We would recommend The Shire for anyone looking for some R&R. They are very dog friendly as well with a chain link fence in the backyard. ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ ##### Tamara T.

Jan 6, 2024 #### Great getaway cottage The cottage is very cute and homey. We stayed from 12/27 - 12/31/23\. The temps dropped LOW!! we saw some snow showers/flurries. The hot tub was very welcoming considering the cold. The Shire was very quiet and tucked away. We visited the Mentone Market. Great pizza. Wildflower Cafe had a wait but was delicious...the loaded shrimp grits were perfect. The Hattery was also a nice lunch spot. We drove to Ft. Payne to The Santa fe cattle company forva steak dinner. Only about 20 miles. Wonderful food. We visited little river canyon falls and desoto falls during our stay. Both were breathtaking. We are thinking about staying again in the warmer months to lounge at the river. I would recommend this cottage. The fenced yard was nice for our dog. ##### Tracy L.
