Featuring private walking trails, waterfalls and 2,000 feet of frontage on Straight Creek, the cottage is your perfect getaway to unwind and recharge. Located just 1.5 miles from the Visitor's Center at Desoto State Park, the cottage is close to everything including Mentone, Little River Canyon, and Ft. Payne. Master Suite: Enjoy the serenity of the woods and golden sunsets from the comfort of the luxurious King bed featuring 600 thread-count linens. French doors lead to the large back deck with a fire-pit. The master also features a sitting area with an antique settee from France, a master closet, chest, and a master bath with a full-sized washer and dryer. Guest Bedroom: The guest bedroom has two twin beds that can be pushed together for couples. This bright and airy room has beautiful views of the forest and features luxurious linens, drapery and a mural framed with aged local barn wood. Kitchen: The well-appointed chef's kitchen features warm butcher block countertops, a large rustic island, new black-stainless appliances with gas stove, and several details built from wood from a nearby 1800's barn. Rough-sawn open shelving from a nearby family farm sets off the beautiful and artistic decor. Living Room / Dining Room: The open concept living room exudes coziness and warmth. Hand-scraped oak hardwood floors, wood accent walls, and the limewashed fireplace and wood-burning stove will make even the coldest days delightful. A 40-inch 4k smart television has Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV apps. Just bring your favorite TV provider login and enjoy a movie night. While we think the best days are the days spent outside, we do have fast WiFi and LTE/4G coverage. The living room also features a pull-out sofa bed with a comfortable new memory foam mattress. The dining room has seating for six (we've squeezed 9 around the table), and we provide china and service for six as well. The front door is equipped with a digital lock, and we'll provide you a code prior to your arrival. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33400000/33395400/33395317/c800f072.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2BR/2Bath1800's Original Secluded Romantic River Mountain Cabin Therapy Hottub Mentone - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 303 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=33395317&PinnedHotelID=33395317&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31510000/31502300/31502235/f8807bb7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1800's Original Cozy Romantic Cabin For 2 Or The Family Mentone - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 359 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=31502235&PinnedHotelID=31502235&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33490000/33483100/33483022/992ddb92.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relax With A Panoramic View Of All Nature Has To Offer.
