Stoneridge Cottage I - Best view and walking distance to town
“We have stayed at several cottages in the area and this is by far the best.”
“The pictures don’t do this majestic place justice.”
“There is always a little anxiety when you see something online that looks perfect but when you get there…. Looks are deceiving.! NOT THE CASE AT STONERIDGE COTTAGE I!”
“The décor makes you feel welcome from the minute you step in the front door.”
‘The cottage is beautiful and has so much history and the view is breathtaking.”
Over the past two decades, we have received numerous customer reviews that highlight the exceptional quality of our Stoneridge Cottage. Notably, it was recognized as the “Best of 2025” Mentone vacation rental by Business Rate based on Google All-Time Reviews.
Stoneridge Cottage, designed by renowned Birmingham architect Jacob Salie, was originally constructed in 1940 and has undergone various renovations over the years. This unique cottage boasts two suites, each equipped with a queen-sized bed and a separate sitting area, both of which offer a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Our guest accommodations provide all the comforts of home, including a well-stocked kitchen, fresh linens, comfortable furniture, local art, handmade quilts, and remarkable architectural features. The exposed beams, pine floors, and stone and brick interiors evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of a bygone era when local artisans took pride in their craftsmanship.
Stoneridge Cottage offers breathtaking valley views, making it an ideal retreat. From the screened porch or hot tub, guests can witness stunning sunsets, distant rain storms, rolling fog, and trains traversing the valley. Relax and savor a morning cup of coffee from the spacious screened porch or the numerous cozy nooks throughout the cottage.
Our prime location provides convenient access to town, allowing guests to explore unique shops and charming restaurants.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful, cozy, and clean. The view from the hot tub is stunning. The location is great, too. I love that it is so close to downtown Mentone. We really enjoyed our stay.
We have stayed here on five occasions, we have enjoyed the peace and quiet watching a variety of birds and squirrels visit everyday watching from the cosy comforts of this amazing property, offering every essential for the modern era...we could go on but this year will make it six years since our first stay we wish you an amazingly awesome stay just like we have and hopefully will continue in the future thank you for reading our short review best wishes
Every day was perfect. The views and sunsets were better than anywhere we have ever been. The home was perfect for two couples to relax and enjoy. We will make this our annual trip every year together.
Property was stunning, easy to get to and had plenty of things to do around town. Owners provided everything needed to have a comfortable stay - very accommodating.
My husband and I loved our stay at this cottage! It has a great view and lots of character.

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous. Every room was well decorated and the kitchen was stocked. We loved the historical charm and spent a lot of time on the porch enjoying the view. We will definitely stay here again.
This property was a wonderful little slice of heaven nestled away in the mountains! The accommodations were great and the area had so much to offer! We're definitely planning on returning at some point in the future!
This is an amazing place to stay for a long weekend exploring the canyon area. Mentone was a great place to stay great restaurant, art gallery and local market. Worth the trip up the mountain
I cannot say enough about this amazing place! The entire cottage is curated for comfort and enjoyment. My daughter, my best friend and I enjoyed creating many memorable moments, and tried to capture in photos the amazing sunsets! I hope to return and enjoy all the hospitality again!
Absolutely loved our stay. Such a beautiful and well kept property with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Can’t wait to come back in the future.
This place was amazing and we felt so at home. All the personal touches were so nice. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the amazing view. We hope to return every year!
