Perfect Getaway!

If you are contemplating booking this property, my only advice is to book now!! It was absolutely perfect for our long weekend stay! The property was extremely clean and cozy! We had lots of rain during our trip, but it didn't matter to us because the screened in porch was perfect for lazing and watching movies. All communication with Cathleen was amazing as well - very prompt in responding to all of my questions. We will most definitely be back!

Beautiful Cabin!

Our first trip to Mentone for a family wedding. The cabin was beautiful. The only reason for not giving it a 10/10 was due to non-working gas fireplace on the screened-in porch and the hot tub was not operational, due to issues and had been drained. But the Hostess was great to work with. The cabin is equipped with everything you might need. This area is our new favorite place to come visit. Quaint shops and yummy places to eat.

Great weekend trip

Overall, enjoyed the cabin. Very cozy. Enjoyed the screened in porch and fire pit. Only downside was the cleanliness, lots of cobwebs and towels and rugs were left in the washer when we got there.
