About this property

♥ Sleep in the woods, wake to the birds, Hot tub, King bed, fireplace, privacy!

{Please be aware that vrbo AI is changing descriptions, pictures and editing). MENTONE Mountainwood Cottages. One mile from Mentone city center on 4 private, wooded and secluded acres. We don't believe in EXTRA fees! Housekeeping and taxes are the only additional charges. (however VRBO charges you a "booking fee" of 14%. ) No admin fees, no property fees, no insurance fees, no other fees. Mountainwoodcottages. Get in touch for specials
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! You won't be looking at other cabins or homes! 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 will 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 new 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 early to mid Oct to March 1). Enjoy your favorite television show or Blueray while watching the fire.
Through the white barn door is the main bedroom with a huge king size bed and luxury mattresses.
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!
We DO NOT accept any animals due to severe allergies of owner. This property is also SMOKE FREE. MAX occupancy is 4 people. ALL children count as part of occupancy including babies.

Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful stay at Mountain Cottage! The home is beautifully decorated, spotless, and secluded. The hot tub was set at the most perfect temperature and you're minutes away by foot from the most beautiful sunsetting spots you can imagine! I highly recommend this cottage to anyone wishing to spend time away from the grind! We will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I have stayed here a few times and love it! We can always expect it to be clean, quiet and secluded. It’s our go-to mountain retreat when we can get away.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Mountainwoodcottages

Host profile image
After having visited the Mentone area for many years, the owners, Claudia and Robert bought four acres acres on North Scenic Drive and built the first “MountainWood Cottage”. They broke ground in April of 2016 and the cottage was complete and ready to rent in February of 2017. The first cottage is called “Hitherside”. They wanted to create the ideal cottage by taking notes and learning from their past experiences with vacation rentals in the area. Topping the priority list was putting a king size bed in the bedroom with hotel style sheets and having a decent size bathroom with a shower/ tub combo and adequate space. Seclusion and privacy were also important without being too remote and far from Desoto state park, the falls, Little river canyon and the eating areas in Mentone. It was also essential to build our cottages in an area where WE HAVE CELL SERVICE! Another priority was to make the cottage as energy efficient and eco-friendly as possible.

Why they chose this property

Hitherside was custom built as if we were going to live in it. For your short stay, we want you to feel as if it is YOUR home. Be our guest and enjoy visiting all year round. We manage the property ourselves. This is not managed by an internet property management company, property manager or realtor! Our reviews are REAL and when you call us, you are calling our personal phone. We believe in treating our guests like family.

Each season has its own beauty. Winter is a quiet time but you can settle in at night with the fire burning and sleep in the giant king size bed under a warm down comforter. The wind blows cold but there is a quiet beauty in the surroundings. Spring and summer mean everything is green and comes to life again. It’s a great time to hike the woods and visit the parks. Autumn means stunning color and it is probably our favorite times of year in Mentone. We hope you enjoy Mentone as much as we have. As the Irish say: “Cead Mile Failte!”

What makes this property unique

Get away from noise of the world and listen to the wind in the trees, the rustling of the leaves, and the distant train. Wake up to nature not the cabin next door! Nap in the hammock at the pond and hear the pileated woodpeckers laugh and the frogs singing.
You will enjoy the feeling of seclusion while being only 1 mile from downtown Mentone. Guests can either drive drive, walk or cycle to the center of Mentone as well as many of the attractions such as Desoto State Park, and Little River Falls. Because of our location you are also only a short distance from Cloudland State Park in Georgia and the Hang-gliding park in Rising Fawn. Chattanooga is only a 45 minute drive with Ruby falls and other attractions.
