Mountain Laurel Inn Bed & Breakfast offers a simply elegant setting on Lookout Mountain near the historic town of Mentone, Alabama. Inspiring views abound from our bed and breakfast inn nestled in the woods, on the canyon below DeSoto Falls. The main house offers a beautiful view of the inspiring woods that can be enjoyed through the full size windows or in the rocking chairs on the porch. A separate guest house features beautifully decorated rooms, each with private entrance and bath, TV with VCR/DVD, heat and air. Each room has a theme to reflect the setting: Bridal, Deer, Wildflower, Ski and Apartment/Loft. A full breakfast is served in the main house each morning. The Gathering Place allows guests a common area with a refrigerator, snacks, games and an extensive DVD/Video library.

Hiking trails around Mountain Laurel Inn Bed and Breakfast are enjoyed by everyone who visits. Walks can be short and relaxing or long and adventurous in these Alabama woods. You can stroll to the raised beds and to the bluff overlooking Little River by the trail in front of the main house, or hike to Desoto Falls at Desoto State Park behind the guest house. Every season at Mountain Laurel Inn offers beauty and relaxation as peace and quiet are abundant so come rest, relax and renew.

My wife and I enjoyed our first visit to the Mountain Laurel Inn near Mentone, AL, and we certainly plan to stay again in the future. The inn is located in a secluded, wooded area outside Mentone. The accommodations were both clean and comfortable. Sarah Wilcox was a wonderful host, providing delicious breakfasts and helpful ideas for things to do and see int he area. We enjoyed our hikes through the woods and seeing DeSoto Falls, a mere ten minute walk from the inn. Sammie the Golden Retriever thinks she runs the place but she is also a gracious host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit Mentone and the Mountain Laurel Inn again.

Our visit to the Mountain Laurel Inn was a very pleasant experience. We especially enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, our relaxing walk to Desoto Falls, and the delicious breakfasts we were served by the friendly innkeeper. The room was very comfortable and clean. The early morning hot coffee delivery was a nice treat. We spent some time hanging out in the community room, visiting the town, and driving around and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We look forward to a return visit, and are hopeful we'll be served the decadant french toast once again!

I picked this site from the internet to celebrate my wife's birthday. When we arrived "Lickity" greeted us and immediately we felt at home. Our room with full bath opened onto the porch where we enjoyed sitting each evening. We especially enjoyed the quiet evenings and short walks through the woods to the bluff overlooking DeSoto Falls. The food was awesome and there was plenty of it. Coffee was at my door at 7 AM each morning and that really pleased me since I am an early riser. Sarah made everthing special. We will definitely go back.

It was so relaxing and refreshing to be in the woods at Mountain Laurel Inn. Sarah has thought of everything to make visitors comfortable, and she prepared the most delicious breakfast both mornings!

Everything was perfect. There is no doult that every effort was made to make us feel like we were at home. We were amazed at the attention payed to all the little details that you don't get with hotels. We will be going back in the future.
