About this property

Entire place

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

Great Location. Walking distance. Original Character with updates.

Charming, Relaxing, and did I mention Location?! Originally built in 1940, with the heart-pine walls, floors & ceilings still intact. Quaint "wavy board"/live edge timber exterior from local sawmill. 2BR/1BA. Fully furnished including those inviting rockers on the perfect front porch (with cedar railings by local artisan Jeff Rymer). 2-car carport. Property plumbing and wiring updated during a remodel in 2004. Great yard including what is perhaps the prettiest native holly tree in Mentone!

What makes this place so great is how easy it is to walk next door to the market if I need anything. I also love that I can walk to and from dinner if I choose.

There are multiple options for coffee in the mornings. There is a coffee maker for traditional coffee grounds (medium or coarse) and also a Keurig option for K-Cups. Coffee grounds and K-Cups are not always provided so we recommend bringing your own.

The carport is equipped with a Tesla High Power Wall Connector for Tesla Electric Vehicles.

This cabin is in a perfect place to be close to restaurants, shops, and markets. It's very spacious and the owners provide just about anything you need to be comfortable. The best part for me, is the front porch swing, just like at grandma's!

Great cabin for a weekend getaway or a full week. Shops, restaurants, state park and hiking nearby. Cabin was wonderful and absolutely perfect for 4 adults. Clean, cozy and had everything you could want or need. Front porch swing and rockers are a must for early mornings and late afternoons. The Marketplace next door is an absolute gem. Can’t wait to go back!
