Perfect location and beautifully decorated

We were a little hesitant to book because there are other places fairly close together. But, they thought of everything and arranged it so that it is still private enough you can sit by the fire pit in your PJs. We had a wonderful time at this super cute place.

Quiet away

My stay was fantastic. The cabin was clean and well organized with enough space for me to comfortably accommodate my stay. It was also close to several local shops, state parks and larger restaurants.

Great place for a quick getaway!

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend. We didn’t arrive until after dark and the house was brightly lit for our arrival. The motion censored lights outside were a plus as it’s very dark. Cabin itself was clean, decorated well, and has new appliances. Convenient to all the things in Mentone. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by juli

My husband and I are both designers and artists whose focus has been on vacation rental properties along the Gulf Coast and now in the quaint mountain hide-away of Mentone, AL for over 30 years. We enjoy creating spaces that are comfortable and comforting.

Why they chose this property

We consider ourselves "Stewards of the Hollow" and strive to take good care of the land here. Juli's Mom (Henrietta aka Henri) purchased the property in the 90's and spent most of her time here in her last years. It is in honor of Henri (who was a Hoot!) that we share this beautiful space with others, in the hopes that you too will feel the peace that this land offers, and leave rejuvenated and recharged.

What makes this property unique

The wonderful thing about Hoot Owl Hollow is that it feels like you are far off in the woods, yet you are really right "downtown". We use quotes because our town is so small we call it a village. To be so small we have 2 wonderful restaurants in walking distance plus you can pick up snacks, to go casseroles, meats, cheeses, beer, wine at Mentone Market.
