Not exactly a river front home unless you’re able to hike to the river. Thankfully, we are hikers. No tv in the bedroom cost me hrs of sleep (I do realize not everyone sleeps with a tv on but I do). Otherwise it was peaceful and relaxing with many waterfalls to hike in the area.

Had a great time. But we didn't realize the loft was so low but we managed and had a great time. Would recommend it to our friends. and we were so disappointed we didn't have fresh eggs! We loved watching the turkey across the road..

A great little getaway
This little tiny home was perfect getaway for my husband, two dogs and myself. It had a great trail to the river with a bench to admire the river and outdoors. The porch was a great place to watch the fireflies and listen to nature. This tiny home is close to Desoto state park and to Mentone’s charming stores and restaurants.

Small home on top of Lookout Mountain
Lovely home, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much! The description implies the river "front" is very close to the home, but it is not. It is a steep walk, very difficult for anyone slightly impaired and not suitable for swimming. Regardless, it is a wonderful vacation spot, we highly recommend it and would cerainly retiurn!

Absolutely Amazing
I can't say enough about this cute little cabin in the mountains. I had never been to Mentone even though i only live about an hour away. This little place right on the river once you walk down the hill. The little bench by the bank very nice to sit out by river at night or during the day. The extra little thought that they put into making tour stay feel like home is really what did it for me. I can't wait to go back again soon.

Wonderful trip, cute small house
The tiny "cabin" was delightful. It was cozy and fun to explore. We enjoyed the porch and cool night we stayed. Everything was very clean and tidy. The lighted trail to the creek was nicely done. The location is close enough to the state park to be a comfortable trip there and back for any light hikes.

Excellent experience!
The cutest little house in a beautiful location! We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The cabin is very well quipped with plenty of supplies for cooking, cleaning, and entertainment. It was very clean when we arrived. The owners are easy to communicate with and pleasant. It is also pet friendly so we were able to bring our furry baby! We will definitely be back here in the future :)

Fun for Family, but Stinky Outside
We had a great time at this property. Our kids loved the loft. All of the little extra touches were much appreciated- toys in the loft, lots of extra blankets, games to play, fire pit and wood, etc. The main negative was the outdoor smell. It was horrible! We couldn’t figure out if it was the neighbor’s chickens or some sewage, but it was really really awful. Something really needs to be done about that. Also, the “river” in the back yard was a tiny stagnant strip of water, and the curvy road was pretty busy. The neighbor’s rooster started crowing at about 3 am. Our kids did ask to stay here again— so that’s a good sign! There are two more tiny houses in the same area. It would be fun for three families to rent them together— if something can be done about the smell!
