About this property
Comfortably Chic Loft-Style, Pet Friendly, Mentone's Favorite Couple's Retreat
Opened Oct 2022 to rave reviews. High end style, comfort, woods view plus walking distance to Mentone's shops & restaurants. Unique open floor plan, firepit, outdoor shower, soaking tub, gas fireplace!
Perfect for couples, especially honeymooners or celebrating anniversaries, birthdays! Created with remote workers in mind. Guest room: Queen Murphy bed & drop down desk makes the space perfect for an office. Plenty of storage in the expertly equipped kitchen w/ gas range. Main room consists of a queen bed w/ soaking tub, living room with gas fireplace, 55" TV, kitchen & dining. Comfortable deck with rocker, hightop dining table for 2. Firepit comes with a supply of wood and starter log.
This cabin is 1 of 3 rental cabins on our property of 12 acres. You will feel like you are in the middle of the woods YET you are only a couple of "blocks" away from Mentone's Log Cabin Village, The Wildflower Cafe (.3 miles) , Elevation Bistro (.4 miles) & Mentone Market (.4 miles) .
Even the most discerning travelers are in awe of this space. Most call it MAGICAL. Winking Owl is unlike any other Lookout Mountain experience.
On Saturdays, you can walk to Mentone's Farmer Market, next to the Mentone Inn (.2 mile walk) & have lunch @ Fontastic Food Truck (slow cooking, worth the wait!). Friday's Farmers Market is a longer walk or drive to Little River Hardware.
Brow Park is a .7 mile walk.
DeSoto Falls is 3.1 miles or less than a 10-minute drive.
DeSoto State Park is 8.6 miles or 15-20 minutes' drive.
Little River Canyon Center is an 18-mile or 27-minute drive.
You may see turkey, deer, groundhogs, or even a bear walking through the woods.
Laundry room with washer, dryer, iron & board is on property: left back side of garage. The PURE WASH laundry system only uses COLD water and requires no detergent.

Frequently asked questions
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.
