The beds are very comfortable! All 5 of us slept amazingly each night. We enjoyed the Keurig and making our coffee, and then we would sit on the porch to watch the sunrise! We brought our two dogs and they LOVED hanging out on the porch! We would get in the hot tub at night while the dogs looked out the porch railings. The washer and dryer was fantastic too! We enjoyed walking several miles in the morning from the cabin. It was the best location! We will definitely stay here again soon! ##### Rebecca G.

Wonderful stay all around! My husband and I had a wonderful stay celebrating my birthday. We love the town of Mentone and the beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails. This house is gorgeous, but it is topped by the incredible view! We will be back! ##### Brian O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### T H. 10 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Weekend Get Away My husband & I along with another couple stayed in The Outlook from Friday to Sunday. It was the perfect place! We loved the house, the location, the amenities, the cleanliness and the decor. We hope to visit again! As for Mentone, the shops were fun to visit & see all the creativity and arts. The Wildflower Cafe is a MUST as well as The Hatter. Mentone is a small quaint town that allows you somewhat be unconnected from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Definitely recommend The Outlook in Mentone. ##### T H.

This cabin was absolutely PERFECT for us to get away for a relaxing weekend! All the comforts of home were provided for a truly enjoyable stay. Since it was just the two of us, we didn’t use the bedrooms upstairs, but the king bed downstairs was very comfortable. We really appreciated the reclining sofa in the den, too - great for watching movies at night! And the view!! We could’ve sat on the spacious deck for days just taking it all in. It was so peaceful and quiet on top of the mountain. We’ve found our new favorite getaway and are looking forward to our return! ##### Clay G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie B. 6 Apr 2025 ##### Stephanie B.
