Wonderful place to stay. Clean and neat.

We really enjoyed our stay there, lots to do. Pool table was a hit and the fire pit was wonderful to sit around and have a drink. Took the pedal boat out around the pond and really enjoyed herself as well. Thank you for a great stay.

Great family getaway at Owl's Perch in Mentone

Wonderful cabin and idyllic setting. Very nice indoor and outdoor living areas. We enjoyed the small lake out back. Good bluegill fishing right off the dock for the kids. Easy access to Mentone and Desoto SP. Overall, perfect for a long weekend with the family. Highly recommended.

Can't wait to come back!

We visit Mentone for the first time and we absolutely loved our stay at the Owl's Perch! The house was so cozy during the chilly weather and the fire pit was a hit! We are already planning our trip to return to Mentone and we will definitely be staying with Delightful Retreats again. The property owner was very helpful whenever we need assistance and quick in responses. The house was suited for everything we needed. Our favorite plus about the property was an adorable Muscovy duck named 'Doug' that befriended us as soon as we arrived. He just waddles around the neighborhood and in the pond. He was definitely such a sweetheart. We can't wait to return to Mentone and to the Owl's Perch!

Great Getaway

My husband and two of our kids (both 14) stayed at Owl’s Perch with another couple and their teenage son. The layout was good for our group and the house had almost everything we needed. We all enjoyed the stand up paddle boards and the lake. There is a huge fire pit off to the side of the property, plus a short hiking trail. The house is located in a private community, just a few minutes away from Mentone and DeSoto Falls. Owl’s Perch was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. There are some things I wish had been more clear, however. 1. We knew we would have a shared pier with another property, but really didn’t know just how close the two properties are. They are actually accessible from the same deck. There’s a shared driveway and in order to get to Owl’s Perch, you walk beside and then behind the other property. The people who were staying in the other unit were super friendly, thankfully, but if we’d had an issue with them, the situation wouldn’t have been pleasant. Privacy outside of the units is not something to be expected. For instance, I was grilling hot dogs and chatting with the neighbors as they enjoyed their fire pit. However, it would be perfect for a large family or group of friends willing to rent both units. 2. In order to get from the kitchen/living room to the laundry room or game room, you have to pass through the bedroom with the bunk beds. 3. The bedroom with two queen beds is above the game room and there’s no door. It’s not completely a loft style room, but it is open to all of the sounds from the pool table. Just something to note for sleeping arrangements. Night owls should definitely be put in that room. I would definitely recommend this rental to friends. The rental company was very responsive and helpful.

Wonderful getaway

My family and I spent the weekend in the Owl's Perch and our stay was beautiful. We try to select a spot which allows us a tranquil rest while not being too far from any family activities. The Owls Perch offered us the traquility we needed and the scenery was beautiful. We were even greeted by a very friendly duck who would follow us around like a little puppy. The Owls Perch is also connected to another cabin, The Eagles Rest. Both are beautiful, inside and out, and we would highly recommend either of these, or one of the other cabins offetred by Delightful Retreats LLC.

Wonderful Cabin by the Lake

Owls Perch is a beautiful cabin in an amazing location by a lake. Our family stayed here for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. The lake was picturesque and peaceful. Each morning began with coffee on the deck enjoying the peace and quiet. During the day we did the zipline at Desoto State Park, hiked to Desoto Falls and visited Littler River Canyon Falls. At night we sat by the fire ring and roasted marshmallows. We also liked playing billiards and card games.The kitchen was modern and had everything you could need. One night it rained heavily and it was so nice to sit out on the screened porch and listen to the rain. We did not have cell service at the cabin but the Wifi worked fine and you can turn on Wifi calling on your phone. Holly was great and got back to me quickly and answered my questions. Thanks so much for a wonderful time!
