If you're looking to enjoy the journey then this is the sweet spot to do just that! Goldie Locks Approved is in the heart of it all! Located less than 20 minutes away from your favorite activity areas like Little River Canyon, DeSoto State Park, and Mentone, AL. It’s also close to the Georgia state line if you feel like popping over to Cloudland Canyon State Park for some wonderful hiking adventures!

The home is tucked in at the base of Lookout Mountain offering beautiful sights in every direction. Surrounded by several acres of majestic trees, you feel like you are in your own secret oasis as you enjoy one of the many outdoor seating areas. This is a great location to take deep breaths of fresh mountain air filled with great welcoming vibes!
Removed and private, yet it’s within walking distance to historic downtown Fort Payne, where you can shop and dine to your heart’s content. Guests truly have the best of both worlds! The feeling of being away from it all while also having the luxury and convenience of being only minutes to town!


As soon as you step inside the home you can feel the love in each space since every item was placed with careful consideration and LOVE!!! Wonderful window views are available from each room, including the bathrooms, for those that like to let the sunshine and fresh mountain air in.
The living room is spacious enough to play in and want to stay in. Snuggle up in the cozy blankets and enjoy that movie, book, game, and/or conversation that you have been wanting to enjoy by the fireplace.

Equipped with an oven, stove, microwave, coffee pot, refrigerator, blender, etc. This fully stocked kitchen is the perfect place to mix up a meal with the ones you love!

One of them being a fancy china hutch where you will find luxury/vintage wine and dine dishes as well as goodies/surprises left for our guests. This kitchen also has many windows that bring in an abundance of natural light as well as stunning views for you to look at while you cook and dine.
It also has convenient, direct access to the spacious back deck through a glass door. Perfect for days you want to watch your love grill and chill with a smile!
The deck offers plenty of seating and seasonal long-range views of Lookout Mountain. It’s a great place to sun gaze, stargaze, or spend days gazing into your lover’s eyes!

The “Fancy Room” offers a chic, classy style plus comfort with lovely seasonal long-range views of Lookout Mountain. Here you don’t have to leave your dreams on the full-sized bed pillow, because the room offers a desk where you can bring to life any creative ideas you have during your stay. The desk also functions as a makeup vanity so you are picture ready once you arrive at those waterfalls, parks, concerts, restaurants, etc that are near the home!

No central heat. Not private. Electrical issues.
This listing should be removed from VRBO. The host is terrible and deletes negative reviews. The home is run down and pictures are years old and purposely doesn’t list flaws. My family stayed in this home the week of thanksgiving. It was my husband, our 2 small children, our small dog and my mother in law. The heat on the entire first floor was not working and the host did not mention this until she knew I had checked into the home after 6pm in the evening. The home was 60 degrees when we got there. She said there was plug in heaters we could use. Trying to be understanding I asked if this just happened (as in that day) and she informed me that she had know about the problem since before the last tenants, she deliberately did not tell me and this is 100% unacceptable. When asked she said she didn’t feel the need to tell me because the previous renters had no problem with it. I do have a problem with this. I had 2 small children. We plug in the heaters trying to get our children warm and the heater makes the power go out. I then have to climb steep messy crowded stairs down to a basement in the dark to reset the breaker. I had to do this 3 separate times over our stay and only had minimal things running at one time so the house clearly has electrical issues the host is not dealing with as well. The beds were terrible one of my pillowcases were stained and moldy looking. The couch in the living room was behind awful and I’m glad I brought an air mattress for my kids.

Don't make the same mistake we did!
This home and Host have major flaws that need correction and should not be listed on Vrbo. The central heating unit was in the middle of repair- very cold house. The main kitchen light did not work. Appliances broke or dirty. Back door to porch booby trapped with alarms that could not be shut off. Master bedroom closet dead bolted closed. Dog poop all over the front yard. Clutter everywhere and it got worse. When a circuit breaker tripped we lost power to the living room. We lost internet. The local contact was no longer employed. Angela can't be reached by us or Vrbo. The circuit breaker can not be reset because it is in the locked closet. We left the next morning and returned home. We asked for a refund but have not heard anything back. Our recommendation- look elsewhere. If you are in doubt that this may be a one off bad experience, look closely at the only other review from 2024- the little house in Carol K's review is now a full time adjoining rental. Look at Cheryl G's review from 2023, communication problems with Host and no local contact. Look elsewhere, especially if you don't want to live out of your suitcases.

The house at the end of the street!!
This property we stayed at was beyond inclusive. The host was extremely accommodating. We had everything we needed and more. Very clean and the air-conditioning was definitely working. She actually offered the little house next door for an additional option at no charge; although we did not need it. The furnishings were very complete with extra towels and even laundry soap if we needed to use the washer and dryer. When we come to Alabama again we will definelty use this property again. THANK YOU!!!

Beautiful Home
This home is gorgeous, full of character, charm & was perfect for my stay; however, it would not have been if I couldn't have used the paved driveway. My elderly mom has mobility issues &this home is not handicap friendly due to the concrete steps, yard pavers & step in tub/shower combo downstairs. I completely understand abt Angela being out of state. Not having a contact person was difficult and bless Gina's heart for coming over to replace kitchen bulbs & texting back & forth; because the person I was instructed through Vrbo to text was Faith & she was slow to respond. The day after checkout, she texts me to let me know the new guest coordinator was Cindy. I feel confident the communication issues will be corrected & I would definitely stay here again!

Just right
We used the location to visit family. The living area is spacious. The bedrooms have ample room. The kitchen was very well appointed for a rental. No hand-me-down pots, pans and dishes. Two small things I would change. Knife sharpener in kitchen and more parking area. Our truck and SUV barely fit in the allocated space.

Perfect
Could not have had a better trip. Possibly one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in. Beautiful turn of the century property that has been updated but still has plenty of character. The house was immaculately cleaned and beautifully decorated for our arrival. Well provisioned for a comfortable stay. Perfect location. We enjoyed walking downtown everyday and grabbing a coffee at the The Spot and window shopping. Thanks very much for making our holiday trip to Ft Payne truly memorable.

Quiet & convenient location
The property was nice, quiet and within a 20-30 minute drive within all area national park locations. The house worked good for us as it gave us space to hang out and play games after a day taking in the sites of the area. House was clean, spacious and nicely decorated and one of few that allowed pets.

The house was very nice and clean. Spacious for five adults. Kitchen well equipped. Close to everything but I wouldn't say within walking distance due to house being up a hill. I would rent again if in town for a long weekend.

Perfect Escape
We visited in late August to ride out Hurricane Ida in a safe place. This house provided a perfect refuge. Everything one would need was provided, and lots of extra were included too! Linens and towels were provided. Since we brought our small dog, a water and food dish was even left out! The house is extremely tranquil with very comfortable beds and relaxing spaces. There is also easy access to Desoto state Park- hiking, fishing, kayaking etc. I would definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing family vacation!

The house was perfect for our needs. It is a great location to so many interesting places to visit. We loved the local Vintage1889 restaurant and bar. The Wildflower Cafe in Mentone was excellent. Collinsville Trade Day on Saturdays is a local favorite. Angela is a wonderful host and we look forward to many more stays.
