We had a great time at the cottage. It is very well-appointed. We had everything we needed for our stay. The location is excellent on what was a lazy river while we were there. We didn't get to kayak because of the rain, but it was very relaxing listening to the rain hit the tree canopy. We were a short drive to tons of trails and several waterfalls. We also had better Verizon coverage in the cottage than we had in town at Mentone!
Great location. Mostly clean. Good service. Mattresses were not good. Ac/heat does not regulate well. Either freezing or too hot. Very little sleep during stay.
We arrived at our original booking and unloaded the car and unpacked. We were getting ready for bed and my wife noticed a green film on the wall near the roof of our bedroom. Turns out it was mold! Well, that's unacceptable. We notified the owners and to their credit they quickly moved us down the road to one of their other properties. That one was mold free, thankfully. The only issue we had with the new place is that it didn't have a microwave, which is highly unusual. (The listing said that it DID have a microwave). It also didn't have Wifi, but we had service so that wasn't a huge deal.
I gave it three stars because the owners remedied the problem quickly but the fact that there is mold in the house and they weren't aware is pretty awful. And the lack of a microwave was a drag.
Property was not very clean on arrival. Lots of huge black flies inside and dead bugs on the window seals. Moldy bathroom ceiling and shower faucet. Also the shower doesnât drain well. Porch was not cleaned off either, but the grill was handy.
The A/C was locked to only hold cool for like 3 hours so it would reset back to 76 and get super hot in there.
However, the tiny home was super cute and we enjoyed the kayaks and the back porch. The cell service was fine for us with Verizon and ATT. Didnât find a TV in the house but we didnât need one anyway.
We made a trip over to DeSoto Falls and Cathedral Caverns. We enjoyed the trip but wish the property was cleaned better and the A/C would have stayed cooler.
Great little cabin for a weekend getaway. Plenty of room for 2 people. Lovely spot on the river and so close to all that the Mentone area has to offer. Having the kayaks for our use was perfect for exploring up and down the quiet river. I have no problem recommending this cabin.
Nice, tiny home, clean property. Close to attractions in the Lookout Mountain area and very quiet at a fork of Little River. Since no internet and cell connection available, communication with property owner difficult. We had questions on the heating, but finally figured it out.
Great location, close to Cloudland Canyon State Park and Desoto State Park. Space was great - loved all the windows and the large porch overlooking the river - and appreciated the short trail down to the river.
The location is perfect! Very close to DeSoto and Cloudland. Nestled in trees near a pond. Tiny house is comfortable and very cute. Owners are great and communicate well. Highly recommend!
