♥ Sleep in the woods, wake to the birds - Hot tub, King bed, PRIVACY!

YES! PEAK MIDWEEK DAYS AVAILABLE! Mountainwood Cottages. One mile from Mentone city center on 4 private, wooded and secluded acres. An oasis of woods, NO neighbors! We don't believe in EXTRA fees! Housekeeping and taxes are the only additional charges the owner charges. For a really different adventure, see our other listing in Mentone,- Property # 4189905 CLAUDIAS CABOOSE. Rent both the cottage and the caboose for larger famililies.
IF you want privacy, the smell of the woods, waking up to the birds (in a King master bedroom bed) and relaxing in the hot tub within your own forest, then we would love for you to be our guests! We are a classic cottage home NOT A tiny home on wheels, an apartment, a tent, or an RV! We are NOT ontop of a busy highway or on the pothole side of 89! Don't wake up looking at the backside of your neighboring rentals. Room to roam on 4.8 acres, yet only 1.1 mile from Downtown Mentone. Woodland views. Enjoy the deer, fox, Turkey, bear and other wildlife on the property. (recently found fox den :) Our little Irish cottage is great for a romantic retreat or bring the kids! Open the door of the little shake Cottage to find a brand new, but warm and welcoming 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage. Walk, drive or cycle 1.1 miles to downtown Mentone! This is a PRIVATE accommodation.
Children are welcomed however, please be aware that toddlers, children younger than 7 and adults with balance issues may not be able to climb the vertical ships ladder to the loft. (this is the second bedroom, main bedroom on first floor) We do provide a Regalo toddler cot for your convenience.
Amenities include a full kitchen with all full size appliances, including stove, refrigerator, built-in microwave and dishwasher! There is an eat in breakfast bar for 3 and an additional eating area for 2 more individuals (children). Off the kitchen step outside to the back porch deck which extends the length of the cottage. You first walk out to a screened area with a table and chairs for 3 season outdoor dining. Relax with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. Outside the screen room is the full size gas grill and Hot Tub for 4. Our fire pit beckons a romantic evening, a get together with the kids or a "smores" cookout.
The focal point of the cozy living room is a stone, wood burning fireplace. (Only open mid Oct to March 1). Enjoy your favorite television show or movie while watching the fire.
Through the white barn door is the main bedroom with a huge king size bed and luxury mattress.
The connecting bathroom, accessible either from the master suite or the living room, has a beautiful antique vanity with vessel sink, toilet and shower/tub combination.
Just outside the bedroom is a custom designed ships ladder that will take you to the loft bedroom. Almost as large as the master bedroom, 165 sq feet, the loft has two extra long, new twin size beds.
Enjoy the smell of woods, the sounds of the wind, the echo of the train as you nap on the hammock at the pond of our first cottage, "Hitherside". Harmony with nature awaits for you.
*****A note about "Internet": While internet is NOT available in our part of the woods, you can use your phone as a "hotspot" if you have an adequate signal. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon (depending on the phone) seem to do the best here. No Sprint service! IF you have questions, please feel free to contact me through the "contact owner" button!

The Perfect Weekend Getaway

The cottage was immaculate. The location is perfect to get away from it all. The town is small and the people are super friendly. The waterfall was one of our favorite places. The sounds and sights brought us back three times just to sit, relax, and enjoy conversation. The VRBO owner was very responsive and so helpful. Her suggestions both over the phone and through email/text were spot on. If you are looking to get away from it all for a while don't pass up on this gem.

A super clean and well thought out cabin!

In over 20 years of renting cabins, this one is easily the cleanest one we've been in. There was no dust ANYWHERE. This was also a very well thought out cabin; from the hot tub setup(from having a roof over it, to the runner leading to it, to not being over-chlorinated), to the on demand hot water heater, to the controls to the lights and the front lock and on and on, everything was well thought out so it was intuitive to use. It's also insulated to the point that the only sound you hear from outside at night is the occasional train. The cabins across the road offer a view, but I would rather go to this one again.

Beautiful and cozy!

Our stay at Mountainwood Cottages was nothing short of magical. Nestled amidst the serene woodlands of Lookout Mountain, the cottage provided a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The property’s proximity to DeSoto State Park and DeSoto Falls made it an ideal base for our hiking adventures and nature explorations.The cottage itself was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The cozy interiors, combined with the tranquil surroundings, made for a truly relaxing experience.One word: Fabulous! Also we had the pleasure of dining at “Hatter Cafe” in Mentone: excellent tea, delicious breakfast, and 5 star service.
