The upstairs full bath with a soaker tub is down the hallway. A 1/2 bath is convenient to the living area. A large front porch (10' by 20') overlooks a small lake with seasonal furniture for your convenience and a large gas grill. The large back porch with a swing and comfortable furniture leads into the house through mahogany french doors. You will enjoy the nice open areas upon entering that make up the dining and living spaces and a kitchen with granite, custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The living area offers a cozy sofa, recliners, additional seating, a flat screened tv and gas logs. The downstairs offers 3 ft. doors for accessibility . Our floors are locally milled stained pine planks that have not been sanded smooth which lends itself to our old farmhouse plan.

Huckleberry Haven was very cozy, all necessities were provided, it felt like being at home. David, the manager, kept in contact to be sure we had everything we needed. I would strongly recommend a stay here. There are lots of places to visit in the area and some very good resturants.
We had the best time at HH. Beautiful home and that was cozy and comfortable for everyone. David is a fabulous host and made sure we did not need a thing! The extra goodies on the table were a special touch. My family says we will definitely stay at HH again soon!
It was a beautifully decorated home. It was clean and inviting and everything was just perfect! The large dining table was fantastic for eating and playing cards. We had plenty of space for the whole family, and the back porch was amazing! We had nice views of the pond and woods! Especially enjoyed that it was pet friendly. We would definitely consider a return trip!
Huckleberry Haven is my favorite place to stay in Mentone. It is a beautiful home that makes you feel happy the moment you enter the front door. It has everything you could possibly need to make your vacation spectacular. If you are looking to totally relax and unwind from the busyness of life, this is your place.
The house is so cozy, comfortable and cute! The folk art is amazing and all over the house. Every time I looked around I saw something new. Seven adults were very comfortable. Mr. Ballard is an amazing host!
Stayed in Huckleberry Haven for a Girls Trip. Had a great time. Huckleberry Haven was clean and cozy but large enough to accommodate our group of 5. We had a great time. There were no issues and communication with the host was easy and he responded quickly. Highly recommend!!
The listing was spot-on. Tucked back in the woods next to a large pond, the cabin sits a gorgeous location with a pastoral feel. Communication was the best we’ve experienced in our dealings with VRBO. Hope to return in the fall.
Stayed here with my grown children, plenty of room, clean, the host was just marvelous. The weather was cold and rainy but we made the best of it. We would definitely stay again
Wonderful house in a beautiful setting. Dozens of excellent works of art that were entertaining as well as intriguing. The home was well-appointed with everything needed to comfortably accommodate 8 adults. The host is incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year for round 3. Dwight L.
Multiple generations gather for time away together at least once a year. This place is one of our absolute favorites! The host is phenomenal and communicates everything you need to know. The place is perfect for spending time together as a family. We love it!!
We stay in short-term rentals often and this is probably our favorite rental so far. The home was very comfortable with great A/C, a seemingly endless supply of hot water, and excellent internet. My group uses Verizon for cellular service and there was no service at the home, nor in the surrounding area. The owner thought ahead and provided us with the WiFi password prior to arrival so we could connect before going into the home to stay in touch with our group and to communicate with the owner in the event there were any problems accessing the home. The owner made check-in and check-out simple, was easy to contact and quick to respond, and even left us some treats in the kitchen upon arrival. We found plenty of attractions within 20-90 minutes of the home and stayed busy during our stay. We enjoyed looking at all of the artwork and decorations within the home and considered it an attraction in itself. We would happily stay here again.
I would rate this stay 10 stars if I could! A huge shout out to the host David who stayed in contact with us and answered any questions I had with quick response times. The house was absolutely gorgeous. It was very roomy for the eight of us and had everything we needed and plus for our short stay. Since we arrived in the early evening, David had the lights on for us and soft music playing for our arrival. Such a sweet touch! A thoughtful gift of ingredients were left for us to make smores on the firepit which is located in a lovely little area with plenty of seating. We loved the decor and art throughout the house. Kudos to the decorator, it is beautiful! We loved the serene quietness sitting on the porch with a view of the lake. It was so peaceful! Unfortunately, we had such a short stay of only two days, but we would definitely stay here again should we ever visit the Mentone area again. Thank you so much David for making our stay so special!
The house was VERY nice! Very clean and everything we could have wanted was available.The host was the best. Could not have asked for any better communication. Left nothing to chance and checked with me via text message to ensure all was good after our arrival.Absolutely a 10 rating.
The cabin is amazing, all the comforts of home with little “extras”! Exceptional host! Highly recommend this property to anyone looking in the Mentone area.

It was a fantastic stay and experience for my family and me. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Huckleberry Haven. We could not have asked for better hospitality and communication from our Host David.
The property is marvelous and the host is the best! The house was well-appointed with everything we needed. It was cozy, though large enough for our flow of guests. The decor is local art and you never quit noticing something new each day. We were centrally located near all the places we chose to drive. Having stayed at several VRBOs, none had met or exceeded this one!
We had a great time at Huckleberry Haven. The cabin was great, quiet and peaceful! Close to many attractions. Even went to Chattanooga for a day trip. Would definitely recommend!
After the death of our last parent/grandparent, we decided to take our first family Thanksgiving trip. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was the perfect place to start a new tradition. David's hospitality and kindness meant so much. He thought of everything to make our experience great!
