About this property

Chestnut Cabin-historic home with modern style

Chestnut Cabin is a 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom newly restored cabin, originally built in 1910 and tucked into the Rhododendron, wisteria and hydrangea at the end of a quiet street but only steps from downtown Mentone.

Constructed of the original Chestnut wood from 1910, and the original native stone in a contemporary rustic style, the professionally decorated cabin is both architecturally stunning and homey, with a warm, welcoming ambiance that will make you feel instantly at ease. On the main level, the living area features a large wood burning fireplace constructed with native stone. The 50” ultra-high definition TV is equipped with Apple TV, soundbar and wifi for streaming your favorite apps.
Adjacent the living room, the open kitchen is a cook's dream, with solid wood cabinets, stone countertops, stainless appliances including range, refrigerator, an ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, drip coffeemaker, toaster and all cookware and serving pieces you need. There's room for six at the dining table plus three at the breakfast bar. Or you can fire up the charcoal grill and dine outside as you take in the view from the wrap around screened porch with fans and comfy seating or from the stone patio, enjoying the peace and quiet of Mentone. You'll also find plenty of seating areas, and a fire pit to gather around.

For indoor fun, head to the living room for cards and board games! Or head on outdoors for a game of cornhole or stories, memories and s’mores around the firepit!

At bedtime, you'll slumber in comfort in one of three bedrooms, all on one level. The main bedroom features a king bed, luxurious bedding, decorative fireplace, AppleTV, large floor to ceiling windows, patio access, and en-suite bath featuring a large walk-in shower. The second bedroom features a Queen bed, luxurious bedding, decorative fireplace, smart TV, and en-suite bath with claw foot tub. The third bedroom features two full size beds with luxurious bedding.

Among the other notable features and amenities at Chestnut Cabin are WiFi, a laundry room, half bath, and ceiling fans throughout.

Perfect Cabin Getaway

Beautiful spacious cabin with updated modern amenities. Me and 5 of my good friends have been traveling together for over 25 years and this was one of the best getaways! Some of the coolest shops and eating at Wildflower cafe and The Hatter Cafe is a must…..the food was excellent! Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful!

Wonderful! The cabin is rustic and the furnishings perfect. We had a small problem with the heat. After informing the host, it was a short time before a repairman came to fix the problem. He even got us a fire starter and built a fire in the fireplace for us. The beds are comfortable. One bedroom has high beds which reminded me of my childhood. It was a wonderful get away weekend for friends.

Quaint & Cozy Cabin

We made so many memories at the Chestnut Cabin. From the moment we walked in, our whole family felt at home. The house is cozy, quaint and inviting. All the bedding is super comfortable, and the updated bathrooms are a big perk! One of the best things about this cabin is the outdoor space. We spent much of our time playing cornhole and Bocce ball in the yard and gathered around the fire pit. A stay we will be talking about for years to come!

Chestnut Cabin

This was a welcoming cabin with a lovely wrap around screened porch. It had been uniquely remodeled with very creative touches. The location was very quiet and wooded and convenient to restaurants and shopping. It was a great place to relax. There were four adults. We all loved it.

Hidden gem!

My sisters, kids, and myself stayed for the Mentone Festival! The cabin is spacious but very cozy! So many details went into preserving the original feel of the cabin while updating it with a modern twist. Was very clean & the host was very quick to respond to any question's asked. It is so close to everything, but still gives the feel of being secluded. The kids enjoyed the screened in porch with the cornhole boards. The back stoned patio was perfect for gathering as we grilled then enjoyed smores around the firepit! Was the perfect weekend getaway! Will definitely plan to stay again!

Firepit Fun

This home is lovely with understated, classic furnishings and artwork -- not cluttered like so many short-term rentals are. Kitchen and laundry appliances are new. Master bath (shower only) is new. Although it is on a street with other homes, it felt very private, and the church bells from the Episcopal church on the corner were an added delight. Within very easy distance of "downtown Mentone" and Desoto State Park. The firepit was our favorite. :)

Girl's Get-Away Weekend

What an adorable cabin to enjoy a fun weekend in Mentone, AL. The cabin is very comfortable and well stocked. Great kitchen with everything you need. Comfortable beds. Only one shower, tub only in the 2nd bath. We enjoyed the fireplace and a nice cozy fire all weekend. Lots of games to enjoy. Great outdoor areas too. We will return! So enjoyed our visit. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Family of 5 in Mentone

We have 3 teen boys and had a wonderful time @ this special cabin! The older ones shared a room with the 2 queens & the younger one lucked out with the beautiful private bath, queen bed & a fireplace in his room. My husband and I were pleased with our amenities in our space as well. I love the age of the place....just know before you go a few doors were hard to close & its not perfect, but very minor things. It snowed while there, so we didn't get out too too much. We brought our own firewood, played board games, watched movies, cooked & enjoyed the beautiful fireplace. We did go hike around DeSoto Falls & Little River Canyon- highly recommend those places. Our oldest is a distance runner in college and he got his miles in smoothly & safely around where we stayed. We ran into some cute shops, went to a farmers market & ordered pizza one night. The decor in this place is super cool, the antiques are interesting, sturdy, sparked some conversations with the kids & on point...it didn't uncomfortabe. Plenty of blankets too!!! We may have to stay here again.
