Hi! Seth and Emmye are hosts for unique homes atop Lookout Mountain. In 2018, we went on an adventure to fine our first home and job after college. The first tiny home we stayed in made us fall in love with this area, community, and a new concept of living. We wanted to create an opportunity for others around the world to experience this new way of life and explore the surrounding areas, state parks, and mountain towns. Seth & Emmye Wilson

Alkebulan is part of Riverside Escape, a small and friendly street of tiny homes tucked in the woods just outside Mentone. The property is only a short walk from the East Fork of the Little River, where you can launch a kayak, float in an inner tube, or enjoy an afternoon of fishing. The nearby public boat ramp makes water access easy and convenient for guests of all ages. While the setting feels private and peaceful, downtown Mentone is only a 10-minute drive away. There you’ll find charming shops, art galleries, and locally loved restaurants serving everything from Southern comfort food to wood-fired pizza. Festivals and live music often add to the town’s welcoming atmosphere. Nature lovers will appreciate that Alkebulan sits within a 30-minute radius of four state parks—DeSoto, Little River Canyon, Cloudland Canyon, and James H. “Sloppy” Floyd—each offering stunning hikes, waterfalls, and mountain overlooks. Whether you’re craving adventure, local flavor, or quiet relaxation by the river, you’ll find it all close to this riverside retreat.
