About this property

Mountain Meadow

"I'm dreaming of a cozy little cottage, tucked away near stunning parkland. I don’t need much—just the essentials: a comfortable bed, a bathroom, a small kitchen for preparing meals, and maybe a screened porch where I can sit outside and soak in the surroundings. A non-smoking, pet-free space is a must, and a small campfire would be the perfect touch for unwinding under the stars. I've heard Mentone is a hidden gem, a true escape into nature, and that sounds exactly like what I want. The thought is exciting—does such a place exist?
And if there’s a water feature, like a small pond for fishing, that would be even better."

Gorgeous little get away

The interior of this little bit away was absolutely amazing we had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the area. Wish there had been a little more seclusion but the inside of the property made up for anything lacking. The host was also very accommodating and friendly.

This property was a cozy cottage with everything you need for a weekend getaway. We were greeted by the friendlist of dogs while entering the grounds. The cottage was well stocked and also a few treats left by the owners. We will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Bobbie Zakary

Host profile image
Ray and Bobbie bought this property at an auction in 2004. In the years that we've owned it, we've raised our kids, made lots of improvements, and are enjoying the results.

Why they chose this property

When we were searching for a property, we prayed to find a property that would show the beauty of God's creation. We think we succeeded. You be the judge.

What makes this property unique

The property borders the Little River Canyon National Preserve, and DeSoto State Park. Bring hiking boots and a swimsuit - Shigley Hole is just a 15 minute hike down our trails.
