The sleepy town of Mentone invites you to slow down, sit back, and return to a time when front porches opened up to friends as well as vistas. Life is best enjoyed in the fresh, clean air of Lookout Mountain where birdsong is more common than traffic noise. Listening to the wind, you can hear the rhythms that inspired the bluegrass of mountain music. The crashing of waterfalls hints at the pluck of characters who carved out communities in the mountains and now carve out the old crafts made for centuries.
Mentone is a seasonal destination with a spring Rhododendron Festival and a fall Colorfest. When it is cold enough, you can ski at Cloudmont Ski Resort, and when it’s warm enough, you can swim in the river. The Gateway to the Appalachians charms with its natural beauty and unique culture.
