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.

Wonderful 8 Days!
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!

Great Getaway
The house and rooms are larger than they appear in the photos. The area parks were very close for hiking, photo taking and the driveway added to our outdoor adventures !! The firepit, porches and quietness of the area added to our times to relax and just chill out. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your Mentone home.

Our second time staying at this wonderful property!
We loved this house so much that we returned this year for fall break. The house is so cozy and well stocked - it's like staying at a friend's house! The house has ample space, comfortable beds, plenty of TVs, inviting porches and splendid, whimsical artwork. David the host is amazing and so kind. Mentone in the fall is beautiful and we were lucky to have fabulous weather. We hiked at the State Park and enjoyed the DeSoto Falls. Highly recommend this property!

Family Visit
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin so much! It is the prettiest cabin we have ever rented, and it was super clean. We had nine family members and there was plenty of room. The cabin is filled with original art. The kitchen was well equipped, and the owner left s'more fixings, cookies, and a bag of fresh picked apples for us. We spent a lot of time on the front and back porches and the view of the lake was incredible! We would definitely recommend staying here and plan to come back.

Let me begin by saying the host is a great one!! He has made sure everyone in this house has had everything they would want or need!! We did not have to get one thing that we needed for this weekend! He went above and beyond with communication and making sure we know what and where everything was!
The house itself is very homie! We enjoyed every aspect of the house!! Some of us wanted to stay longer!! We enjoyed the fire pit and the porches!! The kitchen was perfect and we loved the big table for our breakfast. This is by far one of the best place we have ever stayed!!
Thank you for everything and to future renters you will not be disappointed!!

Huckleberry Haven
We had a great stay at Huckleberry Haven. The home was perfect for our family plus a few extra friends. Plenty of rooms, beds, & bathrooms. Great house and tastefully appointed with lots of local art. I hope we can return in the future.The only thing I would mention is that the driveway is steep and the road in is bumpy. I was in a 4WD pickup, so it wasn't a problem, but certain cars might find it difficult.
