Comfortably Chic Loft-Style, Pet Friendly, Mentone's Favorite Couple's Retreat

Opened Oct 2022 to rave reviews. High end style, comfort, woods view plus walking distance to Mentone's shops & restaurants. Unique open floor plan, firepit, outdoor shower, soaking tub, gas fireplace!
Perfect for couples, especially honeymooners or celebrating anniversaries, birthdays! Created with remote workers in mind. Guest room: Queen Murphy bed & drop down desk makes the space perfect for an office. Plenty of storage in the expertly equipped kitchen w/ gas range. Main room consists of a queen bed w/ soaking tub, living room with gas fireplace, 55" TV, kitchen & dining. Comfortable deck with rocker, hightop dining table for 2. Firepit comes with a supply of wood and starter log.
This cabin is 1 of 3 rental cabins on our property of 12 acres. 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 miles) , Elevation Bistro (.4 miles) & Mentone Market (.4 miles) .
Even the most discerning travelers are in awe of this space. Most call it MAGICAL. Winking Owl is unlike any other Lookout Mountain experience.
On Saturdays, you can walk to Mentone's Farmer Market, next to the Mentone Inn (.2 mile walk) & have lunch @ Fontastic Food Truck (slow cooking, worth the wait!). Friday's Farmers Market is a longer walk or drive to Little River Hardware.
Brow Park is a .7 mile walk.
DeSoto Falls is 3.1 miles or less than a 10-minute drive.
DeSoto State Park is 8.6 miles or 15-20 minutes' drive.

Perfect location and beautifully decorated

We were a little hesitant to book because there are other places fairly close together. But, they thought of everything and arranged it so that it is still private enough you can sit by the fire pit in your PJs. We had a wonderful time at this super cute place.
