Nestled near the crest of Lookout Mountain, in the heart of the artsy, slow-spun town of Mentone, lies a piece of history quietly waiting to be rediscovered. This terraced landscape once held the magnificent long-cherished Mentone Springs Hotel — a grand Victorian masterpiece built in 1884. The property in the past was listed in the New York Times list of “1000 Places to Visit Before You Die” The site sits near the top of Lookout Mountain, in the center of Mentone and very near DeSoto Falls State Park. Mentone, meaning a musical mountain spring, is a charming, art-loving small town that hosts many tourists throughout the year.
