Great stay in Mentone.

We had a wonderful stay at the Elkmont Retreat. Everything is just as described in the listing. Quiet spot, very peaceful. The house was well appointed and clean. The bed in the primary was amazing. We brought our dog and he loved the area as well. Safe quiet roads to walk. We can't wait to get back to Mentone for another visit.

Beautiful Serenity

Our stay at the Elkmont Retreat provided a wonderful experience. My traveling companions included my husband, brother and sister-in-law, ages ranging between 72 and 88. The cabin was beautifully furnished with lots of amenities. In addition to visiting the quaint village of Mentone, we enjoyed short day trips to Chattanooga and Fort Payne. Each evening we looked forward to sitting on the front porch drinking coffee and sharing stories. The fire pit was used one night to roast wieners. Lots of good memories and laughter! This was the perfect place for our get away.

Cozy and Relaxing Vacation

This cabin gave us such a wonderful vacation! The kitchen had everything we needed and all the dishes and cookware appeared to be brand new. The beds were so comfortable! The hot tub was perfect and the firepit was wonderful for a campfire and making s’mores. My 2 year old stay entertained yet safe with all the cabin amenities. It is only a 5 min drive to downtown Mentone and a 15 minute drive to DeSoto Falls. I can’t say enough great things about this place. The owner was also super responsive via text during our stay and checkin/check out was a breeze.

Lovely stay!

The cabin was just as advertised! Very cute and clean and cozy. The indoor games were fun, views of the stars from the hot tub were lovely, and the location was convenient for DeSoto falls, DeSoto state park, and the cute shops and good restaurants in Mentone. DeSoto falls is amazing and definitely worth the 10 minute drive to see it. Note that if you GPS search for DeSoto state park it will take you to the visitor's center, which is NOT the same as the falls. Search "DeSoto falls" and go there instead. A couple of other minor notes: The hot tub cover was very heavy, so make sure you're prepared to pick it back up if you take it all the way off. The king-sized bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and I slept great (it's slightly on the firmer side, but I like that). We caught a sunset from Brow Park (about 5 minutes from the cabin) at around 5:00 pm which was breathtaking. Overall my wife and I had a really pleasant weekend getaway and I would gladly stay at the cabin again.

Got what we wanted and more!

Cons: I wished check out was later vs 10am. Got locked out a few times due to the automatic deadbolt lock. Being an air hockey fan, I was a little disappointed with the air pressure not giving that nice smooth glide across the table. After a few attempts with playing it. I just gave up and found something else for entertainment. Pros: The pictures online were ok but in person absolutely beautiful layout and staging of furniture and color. The appliances were high quality. I love the open cabinet concept. The house was very clean and the outside was very well kept. They even had extra amenities for us such as syrup, coffee area, and foil. I didn’t even needed to bring my grill utensils because they had that too. Overall, this trip meet and exceeded my expectations. This was a married couples trip with one other married couple. We definitely enjoyed and would recommend. Also, there is a place called the Wildflower cafe, that it’s an absolutely must to go for brunch! Get there early because they fill up quick. Get the the tomato pie and loaded shrimp and grits!!! You will not be disappointed.

Extremely clean and well furnished. Beds were comfortable memory foam. We had a relaxing time sitting around the fire pit and soaking in the hot tub. Had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway. A much needed respite after the loss of our son from cancer.
