A great little getaway
This little tiny home was perfect getaway for my husband, two dogs and myself. It had a great trail to the river with a bench to admire the river and outdoors. The porch was a great place to watch the fireflies and listen to nature. This tiny home is close to Desoto state park and to Mentone’s charming stores and restaurants.

Small home on top of Lookout Mountain
Lovely home, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much! The description implies the river "front" is very close to the home, but it is not. It is a steep walk, very difficult for anyone slightly impaired and not suitable for swimming. Regardless, it is a wonderful vacation spot, we highly recommend it and would cerainly retiurn!

Absolutely Amazing
I can't say enough about this cute little cabin in the mountains. I had never been to Mentone even though i only live about an hour away. This little place right on the river once you walk down the hill. The little bench by the bank very nice to sit out by river at night or during the day. The extra little thought that they put into making tour stay feel like home is really what did it for me. I can't wait to go back again soon.

Wonderful trip, cute small house
The tiny "cabin" was delightful. It was cozy and fun to explore. We enjoyed the porch and cool night we stayed. Everything was very clean and tidy. The lighted trail to the creek was nicely done. The location is close enough to the state park to be a comfortable trip there and back for any light hikes.

Excellent experience!
The cutest little house in a beautiful location! We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The cabin is very well quipped with plenty of supplies for cooking, cleaning, and entertainment. It was very clean when we arrived. The owners are easy to communicate with and pleasant. It is also pet friendly so we were able to bring our furry baby! We will definitely be back here in the future :)

Fun for Family, but Stinky Outside
We had a great time at this property. Our kids loved the loft. All of the little extra touches were much appreciated- toys in the loft, lots of extra blankets, games to play, fire pit and wood, etc. The main negative was the outdoor smell. It was horrible! We couldn’t figure out if it was the neighbor’s chickens or some sewage, but it was really really awful. Something really needs to be done about that. Also, the “river” in the back yard was a tiny stagnant strip of water, and the curvy road was pretty busy. The neighbor’s rooster started crowing at about 3 am. Our kids did ask to stay here again— so that’s a good sign! There are two more tiny houses in the same area. It would be fun for three families to rent them together— if something can be done about the smell!

Sweet Little House
I enjoyed the property so much that I stayed here twice this past summer! The porch was my favorite area to hang out in the evening, as there were fireflies all around. The home is cozy. I really enjoyed listening to Al Jolson and Lawerence Welk on the record player. There is an individual thermostat in the bedroom, which is perfect for those who like to freeze at night. The location is perfect for those visiting Mentone, as the drive to the restaurants and Desoto State Park were short. My only suggestion is for the kayaks to be placed near the water where they can be accessible. They were weirdly positioned under the porch steps at the edge of the slope, making it risky to try to pull them out, as there was not much room to stabilize yourself for balance.

Meticulous Hospitality
This property is as pictured: a cozy, tidy, lovely little jewel of a tiny house. What the pictures don't show is how much attention the owners have put into their guests' comfort: all the dishes, cookware, and kitchen utensils we needed were there; plenty of extra towels and linens, clearly labelled; lots of GOOD board games, movies, even children's books; and that's just what I can recall off the top of my head. It was like being welcomed by thoughtful hosts who have already provided everything you could think of before you asked. 5 stars aren't enough stars!

The house was perfect for our one night stay in Mentone. The property was just as described in the listing and we felt right at home. I do suggest bringing a sound machine if you’re a light sleeper due to the house being so close to the street and the rooster across the street who started crowing at 4:30am. Overall, it was great!

We loved our first tiny home experience! The place was clean, cozy and just right for what we needed for our girls trip. We will be back! Side note: the only part I wish we had while staying was more or maybe more comfortable outdoor seating on the deck to enjoy the mornings/evenings. The chairs that are there are fine and get the job done but some more comfy ones would have made it even better.
