We traveled with our grown daughters. The area is beautiful with lots of hiking and waterfalls. It was nice to come back to this cabin that had everything we needed to cook meals. We were even able to do our laundry and then enjoy an evening by the fire.

Nice getaway
Cabin was a nice getaway during the Christmas holiday. The owners were great at communicating with us about an issue with the heat. It broke the day we were checking in and they called to discuss the issue. They provided us space heaters to use along with the gas log fireplace. It worked out great. Fontastic Food truck is right down the street and worth stopping at on the weekend. Our dogs enjoyed the cabin and meeting the neighborhood armadillo. We were all able to relax which was the main point of the trip. Cabin is unique in a good way and there's a nice outdoor space when the weather good.

Perfect weekend getaway
My husband and I loved the property, felt like we were visiting a cabin that had been in the family for years. All of the artwork, unique furniture, and details made for a cozy visit. The bathtub was perfect, restful sleep on the bed, and we also loved the outdoor area. The full moon was beautiful through the trees, and during the day watching the leaves fall was so relaxing. Not to mention so close to everything! Super fast wifi too, which is great because we had no other reception in the area. Decided to stay an extra day last minute and Juli made it happen with little effort. Thanks again for a great stay!

Perfect Mentone Cabin!
We booked for 3 nights and wished for 3 more! The Nest was like home to us. I’ve never seen such an artfully decorated cabin, just beautiful! Very nice, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Front porch rockers, and a big stone patio with a fireplace were our sources of relaxation and peace. Close to town, close to DeSoto State Park and Little River Canyon. A bonus was meeting Juli and Pat, the gracious owners, who have created a wonderful retreat!
