About this property

NOW AVAILABLE! Experience Exclusive Mountain Utopia!

Escape from the rat race! Say goodbye to the hustle and bustle! Looking for a romantic getaway? Want to experience a taste of heaven in a beautiful mountain setting? Need some personal rejuvenation? Then, this is the place for you!

Newly purchased, a natural wonderland welcomes you at "Tall Meadow Rue," a beautiful English stone cottage with stained glass windows and upscale decor, nestled in seclusion yet a short stroll from downtown Mentone and all outdoor activities beckoning you in the scenic area surrounding.

The tranquil setting includes a tea house/studio, outdoor chapel, goldfish pond, sculpted European style gardens with exotic plants and iconic figures, stone fire pit, private side porch, and other natural attractions.

Hear the local church bells ring on the hour, and sacred hymns as well, plus watch the multi-colored birds feed from the spacious side screened porch.

This home and setting could be a perfect mini-retreat getaway, a holistic diversion, an intimate honeymoon, family vacation, women/friends reunion, or the perfect base for area scenic explorations.

Includes free wifi, premium cable tv, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, eco-friendly washer/dryer, gaslit fireplace, gas BBQ grill, claw foot tub, etc.

PLEASE NOTE -- While the house sleeps eight, the living area is smaller and ideally suited for four-six persons. We assess additional $25 per person per night extra for those booking beyond four persons.

A Meditative Dream House
I'm almost hesitant to share a review of this home because it feels like such a sacred, special place. While the photos are beautiful, they don't do this home justice. Each space in the house and on the grounds is thoughtfully curated. Whether you're religious or not, the property feels like you're on a retreat with meandering gravel paths, statues, native plants and art. We spent time sitting in the tea house and the chapel, listening to the burble of the fountain, the crackle of the fire, and wind in the trees. The church bells across the street chime every hour through the day. The inside of the home is filled with quiet luxuries too, from the comfortable beds to the reclining living room chairs. We walked quite a bit into town, exploring the little shops and ducking into Mentone Market for food and gifts and Fantastic Food truck for delicious wraps and burgers. DeSoto Falls is a short drive away, as is Brow Park, both of which we enjoyed each day during our stay. We absolutely plan to return to this beautiful, relaxing property. The hosts, as well, were exceptionally communicative and helpful.

Beautiful property
We thoroughly enjoyed stay! There were four of us and we had more than enough room and four comfy recliners! The grounds are beautiful. We have already booked a return visit! It was a very lovely place to have our family retreat.

This property is very unique and absolutely beautiful! It is nestled in a quaint small mountain town with several local restaurants and churches nearby. We just wish we could have stayed longer.
