About this property

Mountain Farmhouse: 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths, Great Porches And Lake Views

Farmhouse style board and batting home with stone basement that includes a ramp and wide steps leading to the rear entrance porch. There are four bedrooms. Downstairs one bedroom features a king size bed with en suite bathroom and soaker tub. On the opposite end of the first floor is a bedroom with a queen bed and en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The upstairs bedrooms have queen size beds. One of the rooms has 2 queen size beds. In addition, there is a
"Hide Out" with a full size bed through the the fourth bedroom. The upstairs full bath with a soaker tub is down the hallway. A 1/2 bath is convenient to the living area. A large front porch (10' by 20') overlooks a small lake with seasonal furniture for your convenience and a large gas grill. The large back porch with a swing and comfortable furniture leads into the house through mahogany french doors. You will enjoy the nice open areas upon entering that make up the dining and living spaces and a kitchen with granite, custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The living area offers a cozy sofa, recliners, additional seating, a flat screened tv and gas logs. The downstairs offers 3 ft. doors for accessibility . Our floors are locally milled stained pine planks that have not been sanded smooth which lends itself to our old farmhouse plan. The upstairs bedrooms are carpeted for sound efficiency and warmth for those using this area. There are separate heating and cooling systems for both floors.
A large fire-pit with lots of seating provides guests with great opportunities to gather.

Wonderful 8 Days!

The property is marvelous and the host is the best! The house was well-appointed with everything we needed. It was cozy, though large enough for our flow of guests. The decor is local art and you never quit noticing something new each day. We were centrally located near all the places we chose to drive. Having stayed at several VRBOs, none had met or exceeded this one!

Huckleberry Haven

After the death of our last parent/grandparent, we decided to take our first family Thanksgiving trip. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was the perfect place to start a new tradition. David's hospitality and kindness meant so much. He thought of everything to make our experience great!

Great Getaway

The house and rooms are larger than they appear in the photos. The area parks were very close for hiking, photo taking and the driveway added to our outdoor adventures !! The firepit, porches and quietness of the area added to our times to relax and just chill out. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your Mentone home.

Love, love, love everything about our stay! The house was spacious, clean, and well stocked for everyday use and the communication with the owner was an A+++! We were in close proximity to all the places we wanted to visit, but looked forward to coming back to our home away from home at the end of the day. The value for this property was absolutely excellent. We will definitely be back!

Our second time staying at this wonderful property!

We loved this house so much that we returned this year for fall break. The house is so cozy and well stocked - it's like staying at a friend's house! The house has ample space, comfortable beds, plenty of TVs, inviting porches and splendid, whimsical artwork. David the host is amazing and so kind. Mentone in the fall is beautiful and we were lucky to have fabulous weather. We hiked at the State Park and enjoyed the DeSoto Falls. Highly recommend this property!

Family Visit

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin so much! It is the prettiest cabin we have ever rented, and it was super clean. We had nine family members and there was plenty of room. The cabin is filled with original art. The kitchen was well equipped, and the owner left s'more fixings, cookies, and a bag of fresh picked apples for us. We spent a lot of time on the front and back porches and the view of the lake was incredible! We would definitely recommend staying here and plan to come back.

David was absolutely amazing!
