House was amazing, location is incredible. The back yard, porch….. we could have asked for a more perfect home to stay in.

This was a great house to rent while visiting Mentone. The location was perfect for hiking/family time/football watching and indoor/outdoor fireplaces were great. Very comfortable and tasteful interior furnishings and everything was spotless. I imagine the house being on the river would be lots of fun for the warmer months as well. Our family had a wonderful visit.
