Comfortably Chic Loft-Style, Pet Friendly, Mentone's Favorite Couple's Retreat

Opened Oct 2022 to rave reviews. High end style, comfort, woods view plus walking distance to Mentone's shops & restaurants. Unique open floor plan, firepit, outdoor shower, soaking tub, gas fireplace!
Perfect for couples, especially honeymooners or celebrating anniversaries, birthdays! Created with remote workers in mind.

We loved the layout of the cabin. The view from most of the windows was of the woods which made it feel more private. The kitchen had sufficient dishes and cookware and would have been easy to prepare a meal. We enjoyed the fire pit one day. There were plenty of towels and other amenities. We did have an issue with the mini split but it was resolved quickly. The large acorns hitting the metal roof was noisy at times but didn’t prevent sleep.

Hootin' good time

Quaint little cottage just steps from town. The outdoor lights and fire pit made for amazing star gazing and an early season for lightning bugs lit up the landscape..

Perfect location and beautifully decorated

We were a little hesitant to book because there are other places fairly close together. But, they thought of everything and arranged it so that it is still private enough you can sit by the fire pit in your PJs. We had a wonderful time at this super cute place.

Unique Cabin

Very pretty cabin with all the amenities. Very peaceful getaway. Cabin actually felt larger than it was with a great layout. Owner was great with communication. Only negative was some kind of permanent stain in tub, but there was 2 separate showers to use. Kitchen has all the amenities. Cabin was very clean.

The Perfect Place

This place was like a little home away from home. It was so clean and tidy and decorated so craftily. It was quiet and private. The host was easy to contact and very generous with the amenities. We didn't long for a thing while we were there. The town is minutes within walking distance and the shops and cafes are wonderful! The Winking Owl is a magical place where time stands still. We'll definitely return on our next vacation.

Great place for a quick getaway!

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend. We didn’t arrive until after dark and the house was brightly lit for our arrival. The motion censored lights outside were a plus as it’s very dark. Cabin itself was clean, decorated well, and has new appliances. Convenient to all the things in Mentone. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
