We got a sweet email from Amy prior to our arrival giving us the entry codes & welcoming us to the cabin. When we arrived, we found the cutest cabin with everything we needed for our stay in Mentone. The kitchen was well stocked & the beds were so comfortable. We really enjoyed the screened porch & walking in the woods behind the cabin. During the day, we attended the Fall Festival & hiked at Desoto Falls. We ate lunch at The Hatter Restaurant & dinner at The Wildflower, both of which were great. Great little cabin & great host! Would definitely stay again.

Creekside Cottage is Amazing!

This feels like a new home, everything is perfect. I felt like I was secluded but was only a half mile from town. The private creek is so nice, especially since it is in the forest. Amy went above and beyond as a host to help me feel welcome. I hope to stay here again.

Perfect getaway

This place was perfect for our little getaway. We saw deer the first morning we were there and enjoyed walking down to the creek. The rooms were nicely furnished and very comfortable. The gas fireplace heated up the cabin very quickly. We loved both porches and spent a lot of time on both. We also enjoyed the firepit area. The kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware. We will back.
