Nice Cabin

The cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway. We enjoyed the accommodations, including the grill and hot tub. Also, it is about a mile and a half from desoto falls and not much farther from desoto state park. Would stay here again when visiting this area.

Cozy and nice

We stayed here to break up a drive between St Louis and St. Petersburg. The place was nice and comfortable. The neighborhood was neat and we took our dog on walks around the area. There is a little trail to walk not too far from the road. Owners were responsive with communication. Would recommend this place.

One hell of an experience

Amazing, simply amazing. From start to finish my wife and I enjoyed each day we spent there. The hot tub was awesome, the kitchen was to die for, especially the garden sink. The bed, while not the most comfortable was still nice, but I think what we loved most was the peace we found on the mountain.

Postponed

Unfortunately we had to postpone our trip. One of the owners, Andy worked with us and was able to accommodate us. It was certainly a pleasure to talk to him. For future rentals, we will highly consider booking again with him.

Communication/management is poor

I’ve stayed in cabins all across the Mentone area for the last 15 years- by far the worst stay ever. I could go on and on about the stay- but take it from me- find another place.. if you need any help with other properties in the area - please reach out. I’ll be glad to help you out. I’ll definitely be sharing all of their other properties to all my social media accounts to warn them about these owners.

Pure Mountain Bliss

I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want the secret to get out about this area. It's amazing!! Location wise you are on a dead end road, so there is little traffic. There is a stream nearby where you hear spring peeper frogs singing. You are surrounded by these awesome boulders and large beautiful trees. We took our dog for a walk down the road past the girls camp and to the ski area. Great little walk. When you pull up, it's a charming log cabin with wide porches and a perfect fire pit. Hidden on the back porch is a hot tub where we soothed sore hiking muscles and relaxed. Inside the cabin is decorated with neat pieces like a spinning wheel. The kitchen is well appointed and has everything you need to cook and especially make a killer cup of coffee. The fireplace worked great and kept us very cozy on some chilly nights. The shower is huge and has the best water pressure I've ever experienced. There is a gorgeous live edge kitchen table we enjoyed eating on. The sofas were comfy and there was just the right amount of space for us. And being able to bring our beloved pup made it the place perfect. You are also only minutes away from charming downtown Mentone (the market has some delicious frozen casseroles and soups,) some of the best hiking trails in the mountains (Desoto State Park,) and a really cool canyon on top of the mountain! We also day tripped to Cathedral Caverns and it was well worth it. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Very happy with our choice of rental home

We were so pleased to be able to stay in this lovely and nicely appointed rental. It was really nice to come back to every night after we explored the area. Hosts were easy to get a hold of and we had no issues with our stay. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a peaceful stay in the mountains.

Just what we needed

My husband and I wanted to get away for a few days. Hoots Hideaway was just what we needed. Cabin was clean, bed was very comfortable & hot tub was a nice bonus. Address provided took us right to the cabin. We didn’t use any of the cooking utensils, since I wanted a break from that too, but there were plenty of supplies available. Cabin is near Desoto Falls. Will definately be back!
