Riverfront Home w/ Kayaks- The East Fork Cottage

The East Fork Cottage is a 398sqft tiny home located atop Lookout Mountain, Alabama and nuzzled in the woods by the East Fork of the Little River. The porch overlooks the river where you can kayak, fish, and swim. Only 6 miles from DT Mentone, AL.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING... The East Fork Cottage is in a dead spot where there is NO cell service or WIFI. Your stay is to be more unplugged to enjoy nature and the company around you.

We are available 24/7 if you need anything during your stay via Airbnb or call/text your host, Seth. If I don't answer immediately, leave me a voicemail or text me and I will get back with ASAP.

Mentone, Alabama brings people from all over the country and even the world to experience its unique and funky atmosphere. Mentone is known for DeSoto State Park and Falls, Wildflower Cafe (written in Southern Living for their Tomato Pie), Spring and Fall festivals, and local artisan shops.

Come and experience something new!

The East Fork Cottage provides a space to unplug, decompress, and dive into nature. Lots of outdoor sitting areas to enjoy the river, mountain, and natural atmosphere of Lookout Mountain.

Within the Cottage, we will have a Visitor's Guide with recommendations for places to eat, hike, shop, and explore.
All recommendations are within a 5-30 minute drive.

Ok, but not again.
Great location. Mostly clean. Good service. Mattresses were not good. Ac/heat does not regulate well. Either freezing or too hot. Very little sleep during stay.

Mixed bag on this trip
We arrived at our original booking and unloaded the car and unpacked. We were getting ready for bed and my wife noticed a green film on the wall near the roof of our bedroom. Turns out it was mold! Well, that's unacceptable. We notified the owners and to their credit they quickly moved us down the road to one of their other properties. That one was mold free, thankfully. The only issue we had with the new place is that it didn't have a microwave, which is highly unusual. (The listing said that it DID have a microwave). It also didn't have Wifi, but we had service so that wasn't a huge deal. I gave it three stars because the owners remedied the problem quickly but the fact that there is mold in the house and they weren't aware is pretty awful. And the lack of a microwave was a drag.

Short getaway
Property was not very clean on arrival. Lots of huge black flies inside and dead bugs on the window seals. Moldy bathroom ceiling and shower faucet. Also the shower doesn’t drain well. Porch was not cleaned off either, but the grill was handy. The A/C was locked to only hold cool for like 3 hours so it would reset back to 76 and get super hot in there. However, the tiny home was super cute and we enjoyed the kayaks and the back porch. The cell service was fine for us with Verizon and ATT. Didn’t find a TV in the house but we didn’t need one anyway. We made a trip over to DeSoto Falls and Cathedral Caverns. We enjoyed the trip but wish the property was cleaned better and the A/C would have stayed cooler.

Weekend getaway
Great little cabin for a weekend getaway. Plenty of room for 2 people. Lovely spot on the river and so close to all that the Mentone area has to offer. Having the kayaks for our use was perfect for exploring up and down the quiet river. I have no problem recommending this cabin.

Relaxing tiny home experience
Nice, tiny home, clean property. Close to attractions in the Lookout Mountain area and very quiet at a fork of Little River. Since no internet and cell connection available, communication with property owner difficult. We had questions on the heating, but finally figured it out.

Lovely Getaway
Beautiful, cozy home in the perfect location! Very close to hiking and Mentone proper, but far enough away for some nice seclusion and scenery.

Great location, close to Cloudland Canyon State Park and Desoto State Park. Space was great - loved all the windows and the large porch overlooking the river - and appreciated the short trail down to the river.
