About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Enjoy incredible sunsets!

Whether you come to relax, browse through quaint shops, or explore the natural beauty of Mentone, Chestnut Oaks is the perfect getaway for you.
Our cottage, nestled on the west brow of Lookout Mountain between the historic town of Mentone and Desoto State Park, has a wrap-a-round porch with rockers to enjoy the breathtaking view.
Even though our cottage is equipped with satellite TV which means you won't miss your favorite ball game in the fall, most of you will leave it off to enjoy your restful surroundings. The large porch is the perfect place to enjoy the cool shade of the trees in the summer and colorful fall. The winter months reveal the beauty of the valley below and the ridges in the distance.
Family, friends, or just the two of you can enjoy the rustic pine paneled 'gathering room' where you can read books, play cards or board games, watch TV, or cook up something is the fully equipped kitchen. On a chilly day enjoy a fire in the gas log stove on the stone hearth. There is a small stone patio with a charcoal grill for your cookouts.
The two bedrooms each have a queen sized bed with linens and warm comforts. Each room has storage space in chest of drawers and good closet space. The sofa opens to sleep two if needed. The two bathrooms are equipped with towels and tissue.
The cottage is located 4.6 miles from downtown Mentone and 2 miles from Desoto State Park. Some of the many activities available for you include incredible water falls, hiking, horseback riding at the Dude Ranch and golf at Lil Mole Run. Go to Desoto State park or the Canyon Center for more information on events provided.
If you don't want to cook at the cottage, try some of the wonderful restaurants in Mentone, The Wildflower Cafe, Elevation, Mentone Market and our two new food trucks one at the Mentone Inn and one at Moon Lake Trading Company.
And don't miss the Saturday Farmers Market next to the Mentone Inn, open year round.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

House was immaculate,beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed during our stay. Enjoyed the gas logs for warmth without having to build a fire.First 2 days were very cold so we didn’t get to spend much time on the porch but did get to see the Aurora Borealis that occurred while there.Only disappointment was many of the shops and restaurants were closed during the week.

We really enjoyed our house. It was filled with all possible supplies and amenities. It was comfortable. The view of the mountains was spectacular and it was close enough to Mentone to eat and shop. It was private and quiet and even saw some wildlife. Close to DeSito Falls and Park. I would definitely rent this house again!

This was the second time we stayed at this property and it was better than the first time as we knew exactly what to expect. The house is situated in the State Park such that it's easy to get to many of the park nature sites. It has become our go to property when we want to go to the mountains.

As advertised! Peaceful, serine, tranquil stay with a beautiful view off of the brow. Close to downtown Mentone, DeSoto Falls and Little River Canyon. We've stayed in properties before and this one is top notch. We had some issues arise and the host was very understanding and willing to work with us. Ten star host. Reserve a weekend, you'll be glad you did. Thank you!

Just what we needed

The house was comfortable and quiet. Pretty much everything we needed was supplied. As nice as the house was my favorite part was the porch. There is nothing more calming to me than to sit in a rocking chair and watch the sunset.

Just What We Needed

Not a bad thing to say about this cabin. House was clean. Had everything we needed. Loved the porch. Check in was a breeze and we were even allowed to check in early since we got in town a couple of hours early. We spent time at DeSoto Falls and hiked some trails around the State Park. Mentone is such a great little town. Would stay here again.

What a great location!

This was our second stay at this cabin…as before, it is very clean, has a beautiful view, is conveniently located, and very comfy…the beds are comfortable & the kitchen has what you need…we are 2 women 60 so we love that it’s one floor and close to everything we wanted to visit…I do have 2 suggestions to improve the property…one is to provide a keurig coffee machine…I’m sure other guests would love it as well…the other is to update the television to provide something other than Dish reception…the first night, there were terrible storms & our area was under a tornado warning…we could not get a local channel at all so we were clueless as to what the weather was doing in our area…we eventually lost television reception & spent some time in the hall bathroom because we were unsure exactly what was headed our way…these suggestions are not a criticism—just ways that improvements could be made on a nearly perfect property…thank you for letting us share this beautiful spot…hopefully we’ll return in the future.

One of the Best We've Stayed at

This cabin is awesome! It is immaculate and well laid out with two bedrooms and two baths. There is a great porch overlooking the valley. Though our intention was to visit Mentone and De Soto State Park, we did neither, instead staying at the cabin and enjoying the solitude and scenery. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area.
