♥ Sleep in the woods, wake to the birds - Hot tub, King bed, PRIVACY!

Mountainwood Cottages. One mile from Mentone city center on 4 private, wooded and secluded acres. An oasis of woods, NOT tiny homes or neighbors. We don't believe in EXTRA fees! Housekeeping and taxes are the only additional charges. (however VRBO charges you a "booking fee" of 15+%) No admin fees, no property management fees, no property fees, no insurance fees, no other fees. ATTN: Our newest rental is open! Claudia's Caboose! For a really different experience, see our other listing in Valley Head- Property # 4189905 Rent both the cottage and the caboose for larger famililies.
IF you want privacy, the smell of the woods, waking up to the birds (in a King master bedroom bed) and relaxing in the hot tub within your own forest, then we would love for you to be our guests! We are a classic cottage home NOT A tiny home on wheels, an apartment, a tent, or an RV! We are NOT ontop of a busy highway or on the pothole side of 89! You won't be looking at other cabins or homes! Don't wake up looking at the backside of your neighboring rentals. Room to roam on 4.8 acres, yet only 1.1 mile from Downtown Mentone. Woodland views. Enjoy the deer, fox, Turkey, bear and other wildlife on the property. (recently found fox den :) Our little Irish cottage is great for a romantic retreat or bring the kids! Open the door of the little shake Cottage to find a brand new, but warm and welcoming 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage. Walk, drive or cycle 1.1 miles to downtown Mentone! This is a PRIVATE accommodation.
Children are welcomed however, please be aware that toddlers, children younger than 7 and adults with balance issues will not be able to climb the vertical ships ladder to the loft. (this is the second bedroom, main bedroom on first floor) We do provide a Regalo toddler cot for your convenience.
Amenities include a full kitchen with all new full size appliances, including stove, refrigerator, built-in microwave and dishwasher! There is an eat in breakfast bar for 3 and an additional eating area for 2 more individuals (children). Off the kitchen step outside to the back porch deck which extends the length of the cottage. You first walk out to a screened area with a table and chairs for 3 season outdoor dining. Relax with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. Outside the screen room is the full size gas grill and Hot Tub for 4. Our fire pit beckons a romantic evening, a get together with the kids or a "smores" cookout.
The focal point of the cozy living room is a stone, wood burning fireplace.(Only open early to mid Oct to March 1). Enjoy your favorite television show or Blueray while watching the fire.
Through the white barn door is the main bedroom with a huge king size bed and luxury mattresses.
The connecting bathroom, accessible either from the master suite or the living room, has a beautiful antique vanity with vessel sink, toilet and shower/tub combination.
Just outside the bedroom is a custom designed ships ladder that will take you to the loft bedroom. Almost as large as the master bedroom, 165 sq feet, the loft has two extra long, new twin size beds.
Enjoy the smell of woods, the sounds of the wind, the echo of the train as you nap on the hammock at the pond of our first cottage, "Hitherside". Harmony with nature awaits for you.
*****A note about "Internet": While internet is NOT available in our part of the woods, you can use your phone as a "hotspot" if you have an adequate signal. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon (depending on the phone) seem to do the best here. No Sprint service! IF you have questions, please feel free to contact me through the "contact owner" button!

Anniversary stay in the Cottage in the Woods
In the words of Mary Poppins: Our stay in this cottage was "practically perfect in every way." There is little more to say about this cottage and the host. Grab some groceries before you arrive (not in Mentone - although Mentone Market is a good stop-gap) and you are set for a memorable stay in a wonderful place. The sunsets at Brow Park just down the road are unforgettable. The cottage is close to area attractions, and the area attractions are awesome. Would we come back? Yes!

Precious and Peaceful Weekend!
We really enjoyed staying here, definitely the best location for a peaceful, relaxing stay! The cabin had everything we needed and it is just as pictured. The beds were very comfortable and we LOVED the screened-in porch and hot tub. We were able to build a fire and the woods surrounding the cabin were so nice. We will be back, for sure!

Fabulous Weekend
We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this charming cottage. The property was very clean, and well stocked with linens, towels and kitchenware, and the bed was really comfortable. Claudia was very pleasant and responsive, and she texted us after we arrived to make sure that everything was satisfactory. We definitely recommend this cottage.

Quick easy weekend stay at quiet nice cozy cabin! Perfect tucked-away spot not on road (great if you don’t require Brow view/site). Only a mile from main street of Mentone so fast to and from restaurants and places there. Comfy solid king bed and nice kitchen w/ private screened-in porch. Enjoyed it!

Great experience
Claudia was a wonderful host, and told us all that we needed to know about the property and the town. The cottage was beautiful inside and out, and had all the amenities needed for a quiet weekend away from the City. The hot tub worked perfectly, and the wood-burning fireplace was amazing on a really cold weekend. The bed was also very comfortable. We enjoyed some wonderful restaurants in town as well.
