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 Property
This property is amazing. Everything was just as described in the listing. View of mountains and valley was amazing from almost every room. walking distance to town although once we got there we didn't want to leave. amazing view from the hot tub and spent half a day with a fire in the fire pit. We had everything we needed and the special touches were great! Will definitely stay here again if back in Mentone.

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!

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!

This cottage is so cute and the views are amazing! The screened-in porch (floor to ceiling!) is a great place to spend time with family while enjoying the magnificent view! If you enjoy having a breeze thru the house you’ll love this cottage! Most windows can be opened to enjoy the fresh mountain air!!! There are steps (2) going from one section of the cottage to the other but there are beautiful iron handrails that help if you have issues with steps. There are so many cute decorative touches thru out this cottage that make it a real treasure! We enjoyed every minute we were here and will return!!

We love Stoneridge Cottage
We have stayed here a couple of times and love it! What a view! Especially at sunset! And you can enjoy the view from a hot tub or a lovely screened porch or a bench down on the edge of the Brow. Or you can easily walk down to Brow Park and enjoy the view from there. The cottage is delightful and comfortable - with everything you need, plus soothing ambient music when you walk in the door. The cottage is a relaxing place to stay and a welcoming place to come back to after walking to Mentone or going to hike somewhere nearby.

Perfect stay in Mentone
Perfect location to town, not too far up the mountain. Loved our stay at stoneridge cottage. It was such a charming rental with the most incredible sunsets! Also within walking distance to Brow Park. Note: there is no central AC so if you like to sleep cold, bring fans! The wall units worked pretty well but at night we still found it a little stuffy.

Just GO! You won't regret it!!
This was our first time to stay overnight in Mentone. Once we arrived at the cottage and saw the view off the back, we were hooked and want to make this a regular getaway. The cottage was well equipped, clean, decorated with special touches that truly made it feel like home. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed. But spending time on that screened porch was like being in the Garden of Eden with that view through the trees of the sunsets every evening. The birds would fly so close you could hear the wind through their wings as they soared above the valley. The heart of Mentone was just a short walk away and there was even a "brow park" within walking distance of our cottage that was a fantastic place for us to walk our dog. I would highly recommend this host and their two properties (Stoneridge Cottage I and II). They were extremely responsive to any questions we had and the cottage was so perfect and cozy!
