What a lovely place to stay! My large family goes to Mentone every Thanksgiving but this year my husband and I wanted a private place to really get away from it all and this gorgeous location really hit the mark. It has all the amenities you could possibly need but if you are a streaming junkie like we are I’d bring your Roku stick. The beds are great, the couch is comfy, the kitchen is fully outfitted, the water pressure is just right and the jacuzzi was delightful! Nothing like cold weather all around you while you stay warm in the jacuzzi! We also saw so much wildlife while we were there and that truly just made it all perfect. We hope to rent again ASAP!

Had no problem finding the cabin by following the directions given and using google map. The cabin was clean, had all the supplies that you would expect. Door code was accurate, WiFi worked well, hot tub was great and the new screened in back porch was perfect for sitting and relaxing while listening to the river below. The cabin has two bedrooms with one bed being high and the other is average height. We used the average Hight bed and it was very comfortable for us. Several nice places to stop and view the river on the short walk down to the river. We would not hesitate to book again.

Everything was exactly as it was described, which was perfect. Our favorite part was being able to easily hike down to the creek on the small trail. Hot tub and firepit were both enjoyed, with tons of wood available for use. Interior feels perfect for a cabin in the woods and all beds were comfortable.

If you're outdoorsy, the location itself is amazing. The trail behind the house to the river has some wonderful ecological diversity. One bed is loud and wobbly and very hard to get good sleep in; hopefully it gets replaced soon. Hot tub was nice and relaxing, as was the back porch in general. Some basic amenities missing: shampoo and soap in shower, sponge/scrub brush for cleaning dishes. I don't appreciate being pressured to leave 5 star reviews and being told it's tacky to express any complaints or discontent in reviews, when reviews should be a space for honest feedback for future guests.
