Mountain Laurel Inn bed and breakfast - Mentone, Alabama. Mentone Bed and Breakfast Inns.

Inn Details

Mountain Laurel Inn is located in the woods on top of Lookout Mountain along the Little River near the historic town of Mentone. There are a number of water falls along the river with DeSoto Falls (97 foot fall) and Little River Falls (35 foot fall) being the most significant. DeSoto Falls is just a 10 minute walk from the Inn. Little River cuts a gorge canyon into Lookout Mountain which is about 800 feet deep. A few years ago it became Little River Canyon National Preserve. The Canyon is unique and contains flora and fauna on the "Rare and endangered species lists". Lookout Mountain is also rich in wildflowers, unique geological formations, Civil War and Cherokee history. It is definitely a place for the "out of doors" person. Mountain Laurel Inn has a guest house located in the woods about 200 feet from your hosts. It has four rooms and an apartment. Each room has a private entrance, private bath, heat and air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and a queen size bed. Each set of two rooms opens to a porch with rocking chairs for total relaxation. The rooms are identical in size but have different themes to reflect the setting. The Bridal room is so named because the Mentone Wedding Chapel is next door. The Wildflower and Deer rooms pay tribute to the local areas profusion of wildflowers and wildlife. (In fact, Lookout Mountain has more wildflowers that any other place in the world except someplace in China). The Ski room is in honor of Alabama's only "ski slope" nearby. The apartment has two rooms with a king size bed in one and a trundle bed and kitchenette in the other. It also has a private entrance, private bath, television, heat and air.
