About this property

One Oar Missing on Little River w/double fireplaces

  • One Oar Missing sits directly on Little River, in the deepest, widest portion known as Lake Lahusage. A boardwalk down to the rivers edge makes it an easy walk down to the floating dock and kayaks. Double decks, one on each side of the sunroom give you plenty of space for cooking on the charcoal grill and to enjoy an outdoor meal when weather permits. Rainy days call for lounging in the sunroom! A large wood burning fireplace makes it the place to be almost any time of year. When one fireplace is not enough, there's a second wood burning fireplace in the open floor plan living/kitchen area. A large kitchen island gives you plenty of space for cooking, playing games and making memories. A split bedroom design offers three bedrooms with ensuite main bedroom and two additional bedrooms with jack-n-jill bathroom with two sink areas.

    Mentone offers artist's & antique shops and restaurants. Nearby activities include golf, DeSoto State Park, Little River Canyon National Preserve, Cloudland Canyon, camping, hiking along rivers & waterfalls. Check out our website for additional local info.

Beautiful Home with Great Location

Great use of space in this home. Marvelous kitchen, great for food prepping. Fishing was good. Dream screened porch with fireplace. Could use some decor updating, and more televisions.

Very Relaxing quiet Clean

Had a nice stay. The umbrella was broken on the dock probably needs replaced. But we did enjoy our stay it was quiet and clean. Was well stocked. Only thing missing is a hot tub! The screen porch was very nice.

One Oar Missing - beautiful five star stay

We had a wonderful stay at One Oar Missing. Incredibly clean place, as they always are with Delightful Retreats. Enjoyed fantastic fires, and the river ambiance! Really great time. The place is very well furnished, including comfortable beds. We always enjoy Historic Mentone! Holly took great care of us and as always was extremely responsive! This is definitely a house that we'd like to visit again!

Hidden gem!

We absolutely loved the area, plenty of things to do and see. The home was really conveniently located to everything. Beds were very comfy, great water pressure, we were able to catch a few fish, even though the water was low. We enjoyed the house, but could use an additional television. The yellow heart pine in the main living area was beautiful. Massive fire places. We would definitely recommend this property.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful cabin

My family of 4 very much enjoy this property. Exactly as advertised. Very clean which we loved. The cabin is big, with enough space to enjoy a good book, the fireplaces and just a quiet vacation. Somehow close to local adventures and the river was beautiful. Thank You! We will come back!

A Most Enjoyable Stay

Loved the house. It was probably the cleanest house I have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the huge porch with the fireplace and sitting on the dock by the lake. There are houses close by, but we were fortunate that for the most part we had the lake to ourselves. The house was exactly as advertised. We didn't make use of the kayaks because the snake my wife saw under the dock. Still we would definitely stay at the house and would book with Delightful Retreats again.

Perfect setting

My family absolutely loved One Oar Missing! The layout is awesome and allows for adults to have their private space rather than a loft area. We were pleasantly surprised to see the stack of firewood available to use. The two fireplaces were quiet impressive and the outdoor living area was the perfect place to enjoy the fall breeze and beautiful views. This cabin had a fully stocked kitchen which included items we didn't think we would need (like the crockpot and hand mixer). There is plenty of seating indoors and out! We do hope to spend more family time here in the future!

Thanksgiving Holiday at One Oar Missing

We're so happy we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving at One Oar Missing. The views and the cabin itself were phenomenal. The sunroom, although cold, still provided a wonderful experience with the large wood-burning fireplace. I loved the decorations and small touches that added to the aesthetic and experience. The weather was too cold to spend time in the water, but we took advantage of the National parks and hiking trails at Little River Canyon Preserve and Desoto Falls. Mentone has captured our hearts, and we've already started planning future visits. We hope to one day own a home here. Until that day arrives, we will continue to stay in the homes managed by Delightful Retreats.

Lovely time in Mentone

We enjoyed our stay at One Oar Missing. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We sat out on the screened porch every night and visited. We cooked two meals in the kitchen and ate out one night at The Wildflower Cafe. Beds were comfortable, but the king bed in the master is really tall - about chest height on me, and I wished for a step stool. But I managed. Our only disappointment was that the water levels were so low due to the drought conditions this summer that we couldn't really enjoy the dock or swimming because it was so muddy and yucky. We did visit Little River Canyon and DeSoto Falls, both of which were just a trickle, but still lots of fun.

Beautiful Cabin on the lake

This was the perfect location to get away and relax. From the fireplace and roasting marshmellows to feeding the ducks on the lake. We really enjoyed it here and plan to book again.

Great location and property!

Great location on the widest part of the river. Kids enjoyed kayaking and caught bluegill and bass right from the dock. Would definitely return!
