About this property

Garden Cottage-historic cottagew/hot tub

Garden Cottage is a magical little mountain cottage less than a half mile to downtown Mentone. Open concept living that's newly renovated and ready for your retreat to Mentone! Please note that open concept living in this historic mountain home means that the walls are open at the top of the bedrooms to allow better airflow, as you can see in the photos. Everything is new but with a feeling of the old mountain cottages of the 1950's. Original ceiling beams, wood walls and floors along with a modern new kitchen, fast WIFI and gorgeous gardens and fountain. Two cozy bedrooms, one Queen & one Full, a Queen sleeper sofa and one bathroom. The kitchen is stocked with all you need to prep meals with wall oven & cooktop. Take in the mountain air on the screened porch just off the kitchen. Enjoy the gorgeous gardens, gazebo, and many sitting areas surrounding the property, and hot tub just off the screened in porch.

Relaxing stay at The Garden Cottage

The Garden Cottage was so cute and cozy. The kitchen space was perfect for cooking our own meals, the bed was very comfortable, and the hot tub was fabulous! The entire cottage was very nicely decorated with all of the amenities of home. I wish the gardens had been in bloom but that is due to the time of year we visited. The grounds would be gorgeous in the spring, summer, and fall months with so many places to sit and enjoy the scenery outside. The fenced in area for our pup was also very nice. The location is perfect for visiting DeSoto State Park and DeSoto Falls. We loved everything about this cottage and look forward to visiting again in the future!

Garden Cottage

The Garden Cottage is an extremely fabulous place to getaway! I went with one of my best friends and we had the most relaxing weekend. We spent a little time in the Mentone shops area but mostly at the cabin. It is so beautiful and well appointed. Will definitely book again!

Everything you need!!

This property was just stocked with everything, the hot tub was hot. Very nicely stocked kitchen. The gardens and grounds were a filled with every imaginable plant/flower. Clean and everything worked. Only hiccup was a bedroom TV remote was missing. Just an oversight. Check in was super easy and close to everything!

Cabin in the woods

It was a quiet cabin...a little hard to find as GPS wanted to take us to the other side of Co Rd 89...several times The cabin was quaint, clean and just a relaxing time for our 10th wedding anniversary...we should have brought our dog but we were worried he might freak in a new place

First stay at the Garden Cottage

What a perfect place to get away from it all. The cottage is darling and all decorated for fall with mums out front and pumpkins! There was plenty of space inside to watch the ball games and even a small fenced in area outside. Very comfortable place and perfect location to get any place on the mountain. Will definitely be back!!!

The Garden Cottage = Heaven

We had a wonderful stay at The Garden Cottage. It certainly lives up to its name! We loved walking the property and seeing the beautiful plants and a little wildlife. The location is excellent because it is close to town, Brow Park (gorgeous sunsets!!), and DeSoto Park. The cottage itself is adorable and the perfect size. The kitchen was a dream come true and I enjoyed baking in the double ovens.. the living room is comfortable, the bathroom was plenty big, and the beds were very comfy. We hope we can stay at The Garden Cottage on our future trips to Mentone.

Peaceful Garden Cottage

Delightful Retreats makes it easy to book a stay in Mentone and the Garden Cottage was quaint and beautiful. The outside grounds are landscaped well and include varieties of flowers and shrubs. Inside the home, there is a fully stocked kitchen, (with snacks and coffee!) and all the modern things we enjoy (Roku, Internet etc) but still feel like a relaxing retreat away from the hustle and bustle of life. Holly was quick to answer the few questions we had, and we will definitely be booking another trip soon.
