Best mountaintop town in Alabama! Two en suite masters! Spring is fabulous here!

Why visit Mentone, Alabama? World Atlas review of pretties Appalachian towns said, "Nestled in the mountains, this small adorable town, big on charm, southern hospitality, and nature, is a favorite escape in the state, no matter the taste! The hub for local artists, Mentone Arts and Cultural Center is like a window for the whole region's creative spirit, with rotating exhibits and hands-on workshops! With the nearby DeSoto Falls and plentiful cabin stays, Mentone is the loveliest to visit in the shoulder season for fresh buds stark against rhododendrons in spring and glorious leaf-peeping along the slopes in the fall! The rugged wilderness of Mentone is your go-to for kayaking and rock climbing.

"Perched quintessentially atop Lookout Mountain, Mentone's unique tapestry of attractions offers insightful, fun ways for families to discover the pretty town in the mountain's breath. The unmissable heritage monument of the Old Union Crossing Covered Bridge captures the essence of Mentone's past, while the Shady Grove Dude Ranch is an equestrian favorite for scenic horseback rides. From Wildflower Café to Mentone Log Cabin Village and Mentone Arts and Cultural Center, the Mentone Fall Festival brings all the local crafts, seasonal treats, and family attractions to the streets!"
