Ok, but not again.

Great location. Mostly clean. Good service. Mattresses were not good. Ac/heat does not regulate well. Either freezing or too hot. Very little sleep during stay.

Mixed bag on this trip

We arrived at our original booking and unloaded the car and unpacked. We were getting ready for bed and my wife noticed a green film on the wall near the roof of our bedroom. Turns out it was mold! Well, that's unacceptable. We notified the owners and to their credit they quickly moved us down the road to one of their other properties. That one was mold free, thankfully. The only issue we had with the new place is that it didn't have a microwave, which is highly unusual. (The listing said that it DID have a microwave). It also didn't have Wifi, but we had service so that wasn't a huge deal. I gave it three stars because the owners remedied the problem quickly but the fact that there is mold in the house and they weren't aware is pretty awful. And the lack of a microwave was a drag.

Short getaway

Property was not very clean on arrival. Lots of huge black flies inside and dead bugs on the window seals. Moldy bathroom ceiling and shower faucet. Also the shower doesn’t drain well. Porch was not cleaned off either, but the grill was handy. The A/C was locked to only hold cool for like 3 hours so it would reset back to 76 and get super hot in there. However, the tiny home was super cute and we enjoyed the kayaks and the back porch. The cell service was fine for us with Verizon and ATT. Didn’t find a TV in the house but we didn’t need one anyway. We made a trip over to DeSoto Falls and Cathedral Caverns. We enjoyed the trip but wish the property was cleaned better and the A/C would have stayed cooler.

Weekend getaway

Great little cabin for a weekend getaway. Plenty of room for 2 people. Lovely spot on the river and so close to all that the Mentone area has to offer. Having the kayaks for our use was perfect for exploring up and down the quiet river. I have no problem recommending this cabin.

Relaxing tiny home experience

Nice, tiny home, clean property. Close to attractions in the Lookout Mountain area and very quiet at a fork of Little River. Since no internet and cell connection available, communication with property owner difficult. We had questions on the heating, but finally figured it out.

Perfect location and wonderful tiny house!

The location is perfect! Very close to DeSoto and Cloudland. Nestled in trees near a pond. Tiny house is comfortable and very cute. Owners are great and communicate well. Highly recommend!
