Mentone Cabin Review

This cabin is in a convenient location, easy directions, and the lake view is beautiful. The host was good at communicating for the most part. She let us know all of the details about check-in well ahead of time, but when we asked her a question about fishing on the lake, she didn’t give us a clear answer. The price was decent, but we experienced a lot of issues with cleanliness. To start off, we found multiple bugs during our stay (we have picture proof). We discovered what we thought to be black carpet beetles in the bed sheets, and under the bed. We found a roach and an ant in the kitchen just as we were about to cook breakfast the morning after we arrived. I understand we were in the woods but pest control is needed for the inside. The pots, pans, and utensils were stored in the bathroom cabinets. Once we arrived, we found leftover food in the sink drain/stopper, multiple pieces of hair on the stove, in the shower, and on the bed sheets. The inside of the shower curtain was stained and needs to be replaced along with the hanging rack in the shower that is rusted . There were multiple used bar soaps, and an empty hand soap container in the bathroom. The grill was rusted terribly and hadn’t been cleaned out. We had to clean it ourselves, then cover with foil before using. The oven needed cleaning. Overall, the experience wasn’t all bad, but we expected a lot more for the amount we paid. We definitely will not be booking this cabin again.

Weekend Getaway

We loved the cabin and location. Private, quiet and exactly what we were looking for. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness but it probably should be lower. Both bathrooms appeared dirty and unclean. The down stairs bath had toothpaste splatter on the faucet. We cleaned it before using. The upstairs bath didn’t look like it had been used but the floor was nasty with long hair all in the floor. The cabin itself was perfect, we enjoyed our stay very much.

3 out of 5 stars

The cabin is in a beautiful location, conveniently located very close to downtown Mentone. The front porch is so cute and a wonderful place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The dock on the pond was also nice to be able to sit next to the water. It is very cutely decorated. And it was nice to feel like you had privacy in the woods while still having neighbors close by. With that in mind, the microwave in the kitchen needs to be replaced. It was rusting and there were holes in the top of the inside of it. All the dishes we used needed to be cleaned before use. They were dirty and felt oily. It was obvious that someone had taken one of the bed blankets outside as there was still outdoor debris on it leaving dirt on the bed. The mattresses needed to be replaced as there were very distinct “divots” on each side of the mattress. And the kitchen chairs and chair in the living room were not comfortable at all to sit in. We had fun over the weekend, but we would probably not stay in this cabin again if we were to return to Mentone for a vacation.

Weekend trip

Great location, living space and bedroom were very nice. Bathrooms and kitchen are very dated and are overdue for a remodel. Outside of the cabin needs some TLC. Great view of the pond in a quiet neighborhood. Good privacy.

Fall Retreat

The cabin is very nice and very clean. The rooms are spacious and there are many windows . The property is lovely with a view of the lake and the dock. There are many trees so the deck overlooking the lake is cool. We enjoyed viewing the stars at night. The beds are comfortable and the furnishings are nice and functional.

A Great Vacation

It was a nice 5 days as we stayed there. I do suggest blinds for the two double doors leading out to the deck in the back. And some curtains or blinds on the two double doors leading into the master bedroom. Other than that we had a great time. Thank you
