Wonderful Escape

My friends and I came for the weekend to celebrate our friend's 64th birthday and to escape from the madness of Nashville! We loved "The Away Place". It was so peaceful and quiet out in the woods and the house was so beautifully decorated and comfortable. We sat for hours on the back deck overlooking the lake and couldn't be happier. Anyone staying in Mentone needs to go to the Mentone Market. Oh my gosh, they have everything you could possibly need and then some. LOL. You have to try their pizza and their chicken salad. Yumm yumm. Holly (with Delightful Retreats) was really great to work with and very responsive. I appreciate that a lot. I would recommend "The Away Place " to everyone. We are already planning on coming back in October.

Absolutely beautiful views!

This property was perfect for our family trip. Very close to Desota State Park and Little River Canyon. Down Mentone was a delightful surprise. The property has such nice touches for your comfort. Holly with management was available for any questions we had. The kids loved the hot tub and the whole family enjoyed the fire pit. We loved it so much we are planning a return trip.

Absolutely Divine Hideaway!

I decided to make a trip out of evacuating Florida for a recent hurricane. This property is gorgeous, clean, peaceful perfection. Couldn't have asked for a smoother process. Great communication and awesome setting to spend a few days away - feels like total isolation but within close proximity to all modern conveniences you need! Can't wait to visit again.

Wonderful Weekend in the mountains

We spent the 4th of July here- it was so nice and peaceful. The house was perfect for our family and the kayaks on the pond provided great entertainment for our children. We will be back next year on the way to camp drop off!

Mountain Girls Trip

The Away Place was amazing. It was exactly as described. It was beautiful with all the amenities. We chose to stay in at the cabin and enjoy the back deck and hot tub. But if weather had been better, the lake would have been great for kayaking and fishing. There are kayaks on the property. There are plenty of outdoor activities close nearby as well as restaurants. There are books and games provided by the owner. We had one small issue with hot water that was immediately addressed by Holly. She was amazing and quickly responded to our request to stay another night. We would definitely stay again!
