Mountain Laurel House is located among a small collection of vacation rentals. The property has access to trails on Alabama state-owned land that lead to views of the Eastern side of DeSoto Falls. This state land is extremely private as most locals and visitors go to the access point across the falls. The property is bordered by the wooden Appalachian-style Mentone Wedding Chapel. Shady Grove Horse Ranch is also a neighbor -- contact them in advance if interested in scheduling a horse back ride to the Falls. Please note that access to the property is paved roads until the final 0.7 mile. The last section is a dirt road which has ruts in places. This should be accessible in most vehicles however we recommend driving slowly and using caution. Reach out to us if you have any questions.
