Mountain Treehouse - Magpie Nest

Summary:
The sleepy town of Mentone invites you to Magpie Nest. The property sits high in the trees above the detached garage of our sister property, Ruby's Roost. With a private entrance this cozy home boasts an apartment living feel w/1 bedroom, one bath, and a fantastic view!
Mentone is a seasonal destination with a spring Rhododendron Festival (May 18-19) and a fall Colorfest festival. When it is cold enough, you can ski at Cloudmont Ski Resort, and when it’s warm enough you can swim in the river.

The Space:
The Magpie Nest "Tree House" is an above garage apartment that offers breathtaking views and natural beauty. Our cozy little treehouse offers guests an open-style living space with an eat-in kitchen stocked with all the basics you need to settle in and feel "at home." The living room has a TV complete with Roku so you can relax after exploring our sleepy little town and all it has to offer! A generous bedroom with a queen-size bed and a full bathroom with fresh updates complete our home! Don't forget to take time to checkout the beautiful wildlife around the property, especially the ladybugs!
We hope you enjoy our space (inside and out) as much as we do! We are happy to answer any questions about our home and the area! Hope to see you soon!

***Wildlife frequents this area, please use caution***

***We love our big, warm windows - and in the winter, so do ladybugs! They are harmless but resistant to pest control treatments. Please open and close the door to the porch quickly to reduce the number that get inside. If they do, we’ve left a small vacuum in the corner of the dining room. You can suck them up and dump them back outside!***

***Please feel free to inquire about the main house on our property, Ruby's Roost- Lookout Mountain***

Guest Access:
The house has a digital keypad at the front door which will provide you access to the house. The code will be provided upon check-in. You will have full and private access to the home.

The Neighborhood:
We a located in a rural area. While we do have "neighbors" our lots are large and plenty of beautiful vegetation for privacy.

NOTE: This apartment sits above the detached garage and neighbors our main house Ruby's Roost. If you have not also booked Ruby's Roost please feel free to inquire how you may book both properties together!

***Wildlife frequents this area, please use caution***

Weekend trip
We did enjoy our stay. However, felt a little mislead by the pictures of the property. There was a cabin/house next to the cabin we stayed in that I would consider too close. They also had a a ton of cars and people there that our parking space was limited. Couch was uncomfortable. Small tv that only existed in living room. The oven didn’t work. Overall, we did enjoy but wouldn’t go back.

We rented this property for a weekend getaway. We really enjoyed the cabin while we were actually there. I say that because there is so much to do within 10 miles of the cabin that we were only there to watch the sunset and sleep. Fortunatley, we did not have any neighbors at the time we were there and the quiet there is astounding. They was an area setup with a table and chairs facing the west and we ate dinner and watched the sunset from there. Talk about a beautiful sunset! I was really hoping to get a glimpse of some wildlife around there but unfortunately we didnt see any. Once the sun went down we had a campfire in the provided firepit and had plenty of provided wood for fuel. Very peaceful and serene. We drove many places and were able to see other cabin rentals and felt as though the magpie nest was a much better choice than the others around due to the fact they didnt have the overlooks we did and had neighbors on all sides whereas ours was secluded enough we didnt see any other people while we were on the cabin grounds. We will definitely return on the next trip to Desoto. Thank you! at this place is

Maintenance issues
Great location, nice views. Comfortable bed and decent bathroom facilities. The oven didn't work. The air fryer/convection oven worked, but had to be cleaned first, as did the glasses and silverware. A kitchen cabinet door hinge was broken. The bathroom sink was clogged with hair and didn't drain well. We didn't need A/C until our last night and it didn't work. Without the maintenance issues, it could have been five stars,
