About this property
Enjoy incredible sunsets!
Whether you come to relax, browse through quaint shops, or explore the natural beauty of Mentone, Chestnut Oaks is the perfect getaway for you. Our cottage, nestled on the west brow of Lookout Mountain between the historic town of Mentone and Desoto State Park, has a wrap-a-round porch with rockers to enjoy the breathtaking view. Even though our cottage is equipped with satellite TV which means you won't miss your favorite ball game in the fall, most of you will leave it off to enjoy your restful surroundings. The large porch is the perfect place to enjoy the cool shade of the trees in the summer and colorful fall. The winter months reveal the beauty of the valley below and the ridges in the distance. Family, friends, or just the two of you can enjoy the rustic pine paneled 'gathering room' where you can read books, play cards or board games, watch TV, or cook up something is the fully equipped kitchen. On a chilly day enjoy a fire in the gas log stove on the stone hearth. There is a small stone patio with a charcoal grill for your cookouts. The two bedrooms each have a queen sized bed with linens and warm comforts. Each room has storage space in chest of drawers and good closet space. The sofa opens to sleep two if needed. The two bathrooms are equipped with towels and tissue. The cottage is located 4.6 miles from downtown Mentone and 2 miles from Desoto State Park. Some of the many activities available for you include incredible water falls, hiking, horseback riding at the Dude Ranch and golf at Lil Mole Run. Go to Desoto State park or the Canyon Center for more information on events provided. If you don't want to cook at the cottage, try some of the wonderful restaurants in Mentone, The Wildflower Cafe, Elevation, Mentone Market and our two new food trucks one at the Mentone Inn and one at Moon Lake Trading Company. And don't miss the Saturday Farmers Market next to the Mentone Inn, open year round.

The cabin/cottage was cozy and comfortable with an awesome view on the back porch! The well equipped kitchen and gas fireplace made for outstanding family time on Thanksgiving weekend!
This cabin was very clean! We loved the porch and enjoyed the beautiful view. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed our visit and would rent this cabin again.
What a great place to relax and enjoy the view. This place is great, quiet, warm, very clean and comfortable. We love the area and the cabin is an ideal place. We would love to stay again.
This cabin is awesome! It is immaculate and well laid out with two bedrooms and two baths. There is a great porch overlooking the valley. Though our intention was to visit Mentone and De Soto State Park, we did neither, instead staying at the cabin and enjoying the solitude and scenery. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area.
The cabin was a great place to enjoy some quiet time away from everything. It was very peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and enjoying the view. Cabin was just right for what we were looking for on our trip. First trip there and would stay at this cabin again.
Cabin as so cozy and well equipped. We had a lovely stay with our family. Scenery off the wrap around porch was awesone!. A visit to DeSoto Falls was well worth the trip!I want to go back!
My husband and I have stayed at this property numerous times. As I grew up in area, it’s such a familiar place for me. The cabin perfectly clean and plenty of items for our stay. We love staying here and our family come to visit just love it! Thank you for such a wonderful place for us to stay at my hometown area!
The view was so beautiful. The cabin was clean and so very nicely decorated. I could not have asked for a better location. I highly recommend this home to anyone.
We picked this place for a short trip and ultimately had a great time. We got to see the fall foilage. It was also cozy with the gas heater and chilly night temps. We even went trick or treating at nearby Desoto State Park. Hope to come again!
We loved this cabin. The back deck overlooks a beautiful valley and we spent every minute out there. It’s like living in a tree house - with all the amenities. The place is very well cared for and spotless. We highly recommend and hope to return!
This is my second time at the cottage and it was once again superb. The sunsets and solitude refresh the soul. The cabin is
very clean and well kept. I highly recommend.
The home had everything we needed. It was very clean and location was perfect. The brow view was absolutely beautiful from the back porch. We didn’t cook during our stay because we wanted to try the local restaurants and overall we were very pleased. There is so much to do in the area but relaxing at the house was the favorite part of our getaway. Also, we seen lots of beautiful deer and the property was shaded and quiet. Would stay here again for sure.
I had stayed at this cute little house a couple of years ago with 3 friends. Wanted to show my husband the area, so one of my friends and I brought him along this time. The house is in a great location, it has beautiful views and most importantly, it is easy to access for people with limited mobility. (My friend and husband both deal with spinal stenosis) Loved our stay and highly recommend!
We really enjoyed the view from the western deck. Good location to visit Desoto Caverns State Park and the town of Mentone. It's not too far from Cloudland Park in Georgia. It was too cold to sit outside on Saturday. The cabin was easy to find.
The house was just as described. Getting the key was super easy. Very quiet and comfortable. We came down for the Alabama June Jamboree and the house was just perfect. We will come again! Thank you so much!
