1880's Log Cabin Luxe + 21st c. Comfort = Mentone's Coolest Cabin

You will not find another cabin like this one! The Nest @ Hoot Owl Hollow is like 2 cabins in one, the king suites are very private. Professionally decorated with comfort & style in mind. Enjoy beautiful woods view & walk to Mentone's village & Brow. Renovated classic 1880's log cabin, perfect place to unwind & reboot in comfy, rustic/modern style. MBR ensuite bath w/2 vanities, clawfoot tub, shower. GBR w/bath & separate bunkroom for kids of all ages. Modern kitchen w/gas range . Covered front porch & stone patio with wood fireplace, wood included. Living room has gas fireplace & comfortable seating. Perfect for couples/ families!
You will feel like you are in the middle of the woods YET you are only a couple of "blocks" away from Mentone's Log Cabin Village, The Wildflower Cafe (3/10 mile) , Elevation Bistro (4/10 mile) & Mentone Market (4/10 mile) .
On Saturday's you can walk to Mentone's Farmer Market, next to the Mentone Inn (2/10 mile walk) & have lunch @ Fontastic Food Truck (slow cooking, worth the wait!)
Brow Park is a 7/10 mile walk from The Nest.

The Nest felt like home

We booked a last minute stay at the Nest for Spring Break and could not have been happier. The cabin was perfectly decorated and had all the modern amenities that made our stay super relaxing. And the beds! SO comfy it was hard to get out every morning. :) can’t wait to go back again!!

Family weekend

We traveled with our grown daughters. The area is beautiful with lots of hiking and waterfalls. It was nice to come back to this cabin that had everything we needed to cook meals. We were even able to do our laundry and then enjoy an evening by the fire.

Perfect place to wind down!

Our family spent a few relaxing days in Hoot Owl Hollow at “the nest” after the hectic holiday season. The property was comfortable and cozy, and Juli and Pat were very gracious hosts. We hope to return soon!

Wonderful Weekend

Decided on a last minute getaway and it was great! The cabin was quirky and so fun! We did not take our children but noticed it was probably better suited for older kids or those that aren't on the move yet. It was exceptionally clean and the owners were so easy to get in touch with. We went in February and it was chilly in the cabin, warmed up with the gas fireplace and heaters but just something to keep in mind. Mentone is a jewel and this cabin is definitely worth the rental!

Getting renewed in the Lord

Such a wonderful time in this charming cabin. Pat and Juli are wonderful hosts. And our visitor “Otis” was just a precious gift from the Lord visiting us. Otis is a sweet black lab and his owner is just as sweet. Recommend this charming cabin. The ladies of The CALL (Church at Lay Lake) will be back.

Quiet, relaxing getaway

Such a charming cabin! Had everything we needed, was perfectly cozy, and we could do exactly what we wanted to right from the cabin . . . toured Mentone, ate at the Tiger Inn in Valley Head, hiked Desoto Falls right down the road, and relaxed with hot drinks and books and movies. Perfect getaway.
