About this cabin rental

Overlooks Deep East Fork EASY access(We accept 1-2 day rentals during the week-Mon-Thursday depending on availability, and 3 day rentals for the weekends.) This Beautiful Cabin was taken timber by timber from its original location in Kentucky. IT is new-old construction taking over a year to build. Construction finish date was February 6th 2015. It is a sister cabin to 'Away from it All' vrbo-480579 which many of you have had the pleasure of staying in. The cabin is model pre-civil war construction, it was reconstructed using modern mortar technique and then added on to in its current location. The Cabin sits near the end of a private dirt and gravel road behind a locked gate. Fenced yard for your doggies! Secluded is an understatement. It is situated on a bluff overlooking the Crystal Clear East Fork of the Little River, just below a waterfall which can be heard as soon as you open the door to the car during the wetter seasons. We have an inviting large covered front porch with swing and with a larger open uncovered front porch with ample log furniture where many a book has been read in the fragrant mountain air. The Cabin itself retains all of its antique charm as you enter the Great room with its stone double sided wood-burning fireplace serving the great-room and the Master bedroom both located on the lower floor. The Upstairs is separated by a staircase that leads to a private spacious upper loft that contains three Queen Beds. The Master Bedroom downstairs is off of the Great-room and is garnered with mountain views through perfectly placed casement windows and King Bed, situated perfectly so that you can see the woods and sunrise from the bed. Off of the Master Bedroom is a Beautiful Master bath with stone walk in shower and copper slipper tub, set below a large window overlooking the woods. All sinks were imported from a copper-smith in Mexico. There is a fully functional kitchen with stainless appliances/dishwasher/stove/oven/refrigerator/freezer/microwave and all cooking supplies you will need. One Bathroom Downstairs off of the Great-room with a combo-shower and bath, and a Master Bath off of the Master Bedroom with a Walk in Stone Shower, and Large Copper Slipper Tub. High Efficiency Kenmore Washer and Dryer. 2 Flat Screen TV's up and downstairs with Roku/DVD/WII/Wireless Internet/Dish Network/Central Heat and Air. Land-line phone is present. Cell phone coverage is available from the front porch though spotty at times. I-phones work great through I-message or KIK/any internet messaging service. There is a Master Bedroom that overlooks a large elevated back porch over the river canyon and the river can be heard from an open window. There is a large stone hearth wood burning fireplace in the bedroom. The Bedroom opens onto a cozy screened in porch with a 5 person water therapy spa/hot-tub. There is a charcoal grill on the back porch. There is a fire-pit and picnic area above the river, and a built in gravel trail with staircases to the river itself where depending on the water level you can swim/float/fish/lounge or sit in the crystal clear mountain water. The house is about 10 minutes from Downtown Mentone, AL and 15 minutes from Fort Payne, AL for antique shopping/cultural activity/or fantastic food and music at the Wildflower Cafe or other restaurants. The canyon is also about 10 minutes away, and 5 Minutes from Alpine Boys Camp, Desoto State Park, Desoto Waterfall, and Lake. There are wildflowers galore and wild blueberries and blackberries and plums along the road depending on the season. Wildlife abounds everywhere. The Tin Roof provides a great sound to sleep to when it rains. There is a Fenced yard on the side of house for pets. The Cabin is behind a locked gate on a private road, it is very secluded. We accept 1-2 day rentals during the week-Mon-Thursday depending on availability, and 3 day rentals for the weekends. Just input your dates and I will get back with you with our availability by email or text. Wood is available for purchase, please see contract for the pricing.

Valkyrie is a charming cabin deep in the woods. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The walk down to the river is nice and you can hear it from the deck. We enjoyed the grill and hot tub. An outdoor dining table would be a nice addition, but otherwise well furnished. Robert gave good, detailed directions to the cabin which were easy to follow. The cabin is only about 10 minutes to Desoto State Park where we enjoyed some nice trails and waterfalls. (Indian Falls, Laurel Falls and Lost Falls) Overall a great cabin for getting away from it all and enjoying nature, peace and quiet.

This property is truly amazing. All of the details, so much room. Perfect location in Mentone. The new additional room is so comfortable and inviting. This is by far one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed. Very clean, we will stay here again. The host is very accommodating and did a great job of keeping us informed. Thank you! Jeremy

We had the best 4 day weekend at Fenway. The cabin is beautiful. It was so relaxing to just be in the woods and along the river. We got to unplug and slow down, which is exactly what we needed. We were a short drive from Mentone, DeSoto Falls, and Fort Payne. We would definitely rent this cabin again. I have already sent the link to my daughter and her husband to plan their trip to this amazing cabin and gorgeous area.

My wife and I enjoyed our 4 nights in Fernweh, the cabin lived up to the listing. Started out not so great as we arrived in the middle of a thunderstorm and tornado watch, and the wi-fi was not working. The heavy rain lasted most of the overnight and the cabin's metal roof really amplified the sound of the rain and made it hard to sleep. But after that, things were great and we had a relaxing few days. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and listening to the roar of the Little River below, and made a few trips into Mentone for lunch, to Little River Falls and DeSoto Falls (which were really flowing heavily thanks to the rain), and DeSoto State Park. Will definitely consider coming back!
