**THE RETREAT PROPERTY**
This home is located in Downtown Fort Payne with distant views of nearby Lookout Mountain. There is a private concrete driveway and parking area for 2 vehicles, as well as a space for turning your vehicle around. A privacy fence lines the retreat property on both sides between neighbors, with an open entrance and open, natural views into the back yard and surrounding woods!
There are 6 stairs leading to the spacious front porch. This covered porch invites you to relax and take in the fresh mountain air, rain or shine. Step through the front door to the main living area that welcomes you with comfortable lounge seating for 6 guests. Entertainment enthusiasts will appreciate the Fast Wi-Fi and 75" HD Smart TV for streaming your favorite subscribed channels. With corporate guests and remote workspaces in mind, each of the 4 large televisions in this home provide screen-sharing and live-conferencing capabilities. And in this area, it’s very common for opposing football team fans to watch “the big game” in separate locations, so this home is here for it! Also in the living area is a gas log stove fireplace for cool mornings at the mountain :)
Directly next to the living area is the dining area and kitchen. The well-equipped kitchen has granite countertops, stainless appliances, dishes, drinking glasses, utensils, pots, pans, and spices for your home-away-from home cooking needs. The homeowners love to travel, and this home has so many extras that they also love to find when they are choosing a vacation rental home. A large kitchen island offers a fantastic preparation and serving area for family meals, and there is indoor dining space for up to 6 with a table and 4 chairs, as well as 2 stools. There is also a coffee station with a 12-cup coffee maker and an electric water kettle for hot teas.
Next to the Dining Area, there is a laundry room with a washer and dryer, ironing board available for your convenience, as well as an electric steamer.
A significant highlight of this home is the spacious primary bedroom suite. It has a very comfortable king-sized bed with a MLiLY Fusion Luxe/ Hybrid mattress, with a cooling cover and medium/plush feel to help every guest rest well. There is also a large 65" HD Smart TV for movie nights in and even a private remote workspace in the corner with an office desk and chair. Adjoining the primary bedroom is the en-suite primary bathroom, complete with a 2-sink vanity. The customized walk-in shower, large soaking tub and towel warmer offer a spa-like experience for those seeking relaxation after a day of adventures atop Lookout Mountain. Whether you seek a quick revitalizing shower or a long, indulgent soak, this space caters to your every preference.
In addition to the primary bedroom suite, there are two additional bedrooms. Each has a comfortable queen bed with a 10” Dreamer, memory foam mattress, closet and dresser storage - as well as a 50" HD Smart TV. Both bedrooms also have bedside tables and lamps with USB charging stations. The third bedroom has views into the backyard area and a remote-controlled adjustable bed frame that even has a massage setting for tired muscles after a day of chasing waterfalls :)
*FYI: All of the beds, mattresses and sleeping pillows at Melody Ridge were purchased locally at Beds, Floors and More in Fort Payne. We get asked often by guests because they’re so comfy :)
Between the second and third bedroom, there is a second full bathroom with a tub/shower combination, sink, toilet, and towel warmer.
Through the sliding glass doors beside the dining area, a spacious back deck awaits you and provides the ideal setting for outdoor gathering and al fresco dining. A gas fire pit is ready for cool nights and gathering with family.

We had a great time hiking in the area. We also gathered with family from Georgia and central Alabama for a mini-reunion. We had an excellent time.

Amazing,modern accommodations
My wife, her 2 sisters, and the husbands always do a yearly sister trip. We stayed here for our weekend and all 6 fit very comfortably in this property. I’m particularly a critic of water pressure in rentals. This one did not disappoint. Shower in master was amazing. Mistie was very quick to reply to all our questions. We were pleased with the quiet neighborhood and the back deck was a plus. Enjoyed our stay very much.
Melody Ridge exceeded all of our expectations. Property was clean and spacious. High-end appliances and furnishings. Convenient location to I-59 and downtown Fort Payne.

An Unforgettable Stay at Melody Ridge: Peace, Charm, and Thoughtful Luxury
Our first stay at a Peaceful Retreats property was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped into the stunning and inviting Melody Ridge, we knew we had found a gem—and one we’d surely visit again. The house is immaculate, with a fresh, modern feel, and the whimsical music-themed décor added a delightful touch of charm. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure our stay was exceptional.
The “extras” truly set this experience apart. A beautifully arranged gift basket greeted us, complete with a voucher for a complimentary breakfast, delicious snacks, handmade soap, and what must be the best coffee we’ve ever tasted. Every element spoke to the care and warmth that Peaceful Retreats pours into their guests’ experiences.
Savoring that incredible coffee on the back porch, with the fire pit casting a gentle glow to warm the crisp morning air, was a serene highlight. The symphony of nature—a soft breeze through the leaves, birds calling overhead—created a tranquil backdrop that felt like pure poetry. It’s hard to believe this peaceful haven is located in downtown Fort Payne.
If you’re looking for a stay that combines impeccable comfort, thoughtful touches, and a sense of true escape, Peaceful Retreats delivers an experience that earns every single star. We can’t wait to return!
This beautiful place has all your kitchen needs, clean rooms and overall a BEAUTIFUL and peaceful place for vacation stay!

So many extra touches! One of our favorite places to stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this home in Fort Payne. The house was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax and feel at home right away. It had so many extra touches - we loved the sound machines, towel warmers and pretty outside lights. Coffee bar was such a nice touch as well.
We travel to Fort Payne often to visit family, and this has been one of our favorite places to stay. We will definitely be renting this house again on future trips. Highly recommend!

Location is great!
The home is beautifully decorated, and sufficiently stocked. We truly enjoyed the common areas such as kitchen, living room, and two porches to sit and visit with our family. The location is great. It is so close to town, yet such a quiet surrounding.

Comfortable beds and everything we needed!
We were visiting my grandfather in Valley Head and chose to stay here and were SO happy with our decision! This is a lovely home and we had such a fun time. The leaves surrounding the property are absolutely gorgeous in November, and we were so glad to have such a great view in every direction. The beds were very comfortable, and the home has everything you need. Next time we visit Alabama as a family, we will check availability here first!

Clean, equipped, and peaceful spot!
Stayed here two separate weekends in October and was very happy both times! Hosts are very responsive- my mom had trouble getting in and using the electronic door lock system as she’s not tech savvy and the hosts helped us multiple times to navigate. Clean, equipped, and peaceful spot. Recommend!
