Hi! Seth and Emmye are hosts for unique homes atop Lookout Mountain. In 2018, we went on an adventure to find our first home and job after college. The first tiny home we stayed in made us fall in love with this area, community, and a new concept of living. We wanted to create an opportunity for others around the world to experience this new way of life and explore the surrounding areas, state parks, and mountain towns. Seth & Emmye Wilson

Nestled among the trees of Lookout Mountain, Whitetail Ridge is the kind of cabin where time slows down and memories linger long after you’ve left. Just minutes from downtown Mentone yet tucked far enough into the woods to feel secluded, this three-bedroom retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Step inside and you’ll find soaring ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a pool table that easily transforms into ping pong—perfect for a little friendly competition. The fully stocked kitchen and dining area make it easy to cook and gather, while the spacious screened-in porch with its hot tub and lounge seating feels like an outdoor living room in the forest. When night falls, the master suite with its king bed and spa-like bathroom invites you to unwind, while upstairs, a queen bedroom and a loft with four twin beds give everyone space to spread out. Thoughtful touches, from a mudroom with washer and dryer to a fenced yard for four-legged friends, ensure comfort and convenience for every guest. Outside, days are meant to be savored—grill out on the porch, play a round of horseshoes or corn hole, or sit by the fire pit under the stars with wood already waiting for you. Whether you’re exploring waterfalls at DeSoto State Park, kayaking the Little River, or strolling through Mentone’s quaint shops and cafes, you’ll always look forward to returning to the quiet woods of Whitetail Ridge.

Whitetail Ridge sits in one of the most charming corners of Lookout Mountain, where peaceful forest roads wind through rolling hills and open to sweeping views of the valleys below. Just a short drive from the heart of Mentone, the cabin offers the convenience of being close to town while still feeling like a private mountain retreat. Guests often describe the area as quiet and restorative, yet filled with opportunities for adventure. Mentone itself is a small mountain village with a big personality. You’ll find local art galleries, cozy cafes, and welcoming restaurants that reflect the town’s creative spirit. A quick trip down the road takes you to DeSoto State Park, where miles of hiking trails lead to waterfalls, wildflower fields, and picnic spots that showcase the beauty of north Alabama. Little River Canyon National Preserve is also nearby, perfect for kayaking, scenic drives, or simply soaking in the views from its overlooks. The neighborhood is as friendly as it is scenic. Neighbors wave as you pass, and local events—from art festivals to live music—make it easy to connect with the community if you choose. For those seeking more laid-back days, the quiet country roads are perfect for morning walks, wildlife watching, or just enjoying the fresh mountain air. Whether you’re planning a weekend of outdoor adventures or a slow-paced getaway with time to browse antique shops and sip coffee in town, the location of Whitetail Ridge puts you right where you need to be: surrounded by nature, close to Mentone’s charm, and only minutes from some of Alabama’s most breathtaking natural wonders.
