Stoneridge Cottage I - Best view and walking distance to town

“We have stayed at several cottages in the area and this is by far the best.”

“The pictures don’t do this majestic place justice.”

“There is always a little anxiety when you see something online that looks perfect but when you get there…. Looks are deceiving.! NOT THE CASE AT STONERIDGE COTTAGE I!”

“The décor makes you feel welcome from the minute you step in the front door.”

‘The cottage is beautiful and has so much history and the view is breathtaking.”

These are some of the comments from the many customer reviews we have received over the past 13 years.

Stoneridge Cottage I was designed by renown Birmingham architect, Jacob Salie, to be used as his summer home. Built in 1940, with new sections added throughout the years, this unique cottage features two suites with queen sized beds and separate sitting areas; both equally lovely. The cottage offers our guest all the comforts of home: a well-stocked kitchen, fresh linens, comfortable furniture, local art, handmade quilts, and awesome architectural features. Our guest will appreciate the exposed beams, pine floors and stone and brick interiors that take you back to a time when the materials were set by local workers proud of their craft.

This charming cottage provides our guest with the best valley views in Mentone. They can see our brilliant sunsets, distant rain storms, rolling fog and trains as they pass through the valley from the hot tub on the deck. Relax and enjoy a morning cup of coffee from our large screen porch or the many cozy spots throughout the cottage. Our prime location allows walks to town to experience unique shops and charming restaurants.

Stoneridge Cottage I offers many amenities that include:

- A flat screen TV and Blu-ray DVD player in each suite.
- DirecTV with all the movie channels.
- Wi-Fi service.
- Cell phone service is available for Verizon, AT&T and Sprint customers.
- The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including appliances, both auto drip and Keurig coffee pots with
coffee and K-cups, eating utensils, glasses and dishes, pot and pans, toaster, microwave, ice maker, Bounty paper
towels, Vanityfair napkins, sugar and sweeteners, dish washing detergent, dish cloth and drying towels.
- The bathrooms are supplied with wash cloths, bath towels, full size soap bars, hand soap and Charmin toilet paper.
- Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed, pillows, bed linens, spreads and blankets.
- On the screen porch/deck area there is a gas grill and A NEW HOT TUB that was installed on July 1, 2023 that overlook the beautiful valley and the spectacular
sunsets.

To accommodate our many guests, we have added Stoneridge Cottage II. It has the same spectacular view as cottage I. It is a one bedroom “adult only” cottage that features a “Pottery Barn” style décor with all the amenities of Stoneridge Cottage I include Wi-Fi and a screen porch and private hot tub that overlooks the valley. It has vaulted wood and beam ceilings. It is charming, comfortable and perfect for a romantic getaway for two. You can get details, view more photos and check the availability calendar of Stoneridge Cottage II at Homeaway.com/3571237.

It is the perfect location to travel to various locations in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. There is nearby Desoto Falls and Little River Canyon. There are historic Civil War battlefields located in nearby Georgia. Chattanooga, TN has unique attractions like the Tennessee Aquarium, Rock City, Point Park Battlefield, fabulous shopping, restaurants and coffee shops and exciting nightlife.

We at Stoneridge Cottages want you to know that we are continuing our practice of providing you with the cleanest rental possible. For your added protection during this COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken steps to be even cleaner by sanitizing all commonly used hard surfaces. This includes, but not limited to remote controls, counter tops, doorknobs, appliance handles, bathroom and kitchen cabinet knobs, microwave, railings, light switches, and sink and bathtub handles. And of course, we will continue to replace the icemaker ice between rentals.

Amazing Stay

Everything was just right and beautiful. The view is worth it even if the cottage was not so well appointed making one feel welcome. I have been visiting Mentone for many years and this has been one of the memorable times. So grateful for the hosts making this property very special.

Peaceful Getaway

This is my 3rd stay at Cottage 1 and my 4th stay with Stoneridge. As always, the property was perfect. The cottage is so quaint and cozy, and I never want to leave. I won't stay anywhere else when I visit Mentone. Location is perfect and the view is amazing. Thank you Jerome and Liz for creating such a magical place!

My sister and I stayed Wed-Fri at end of May. Comfortable beds, gorgeous views, and great amenities. Modernized comforts, cute decor, yet also a lot of history and rustic vibes in the cave like room that is part of the original architecture. Extensive info in binder for local attractions. The owners clearly take great care to ensure guests have everything they need and very timely communication. Visited Hatter Cafe and Elevation Bistro in town, and several waterfalls in parks nearby. Be advised limited buildings in Mentone open during week so we missed out on a lot of the other local places. Staying on the brow in this area is a great option!

Cozy and Peaceful

We've been visiting Mentone for about 20 years and have stayed in many homes, most of which are wonderful. We enjoyed this cottage more than most. The location is perfect and we spent most of our time on the screened porch, enjoying the view of the valley. The cottage is quirky and fun. We had everything we needed - even made our homemade dog food for our furry friend!
