It is a beautiful cabin stocked with everything you need. And it really is just steps away from DeSoto Falls - we walked there a few times during our stay! The kitchen is a tad small, but all the other rooms are very spacious and well furnished. We really enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the river, and making smores around the fire pit. Stephanie was very kind to check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this vacation rental.

House is clean and has a good layout as well as all the kitchen supplies and linens you might need. We cooked each day for 9 people with no issues. Access to the creek is why we come. The 4 provided kayaks are a huge bonus. We enjoyed walking down to the falls to play in the sandy area, as well as the longer hike to the bottom of the falls to swim directly underneath them. Kids love it and so do the adults! Will likely come back next year! We highly recommend this place. ##### John A. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie C.

We were there the whole week of Thanksgiving and the cottage was perfect. It’s basically a new house with three bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms, a loft with two single beds and a large living room. The kitchen was tight for preparing a large Thanksgiving meal, but we made it work. Even cooked a turkey sausage gumbo on Saturday while watching football! The beds weee very comfortable. The cottage is walking distance to the DeSoto Falls which were beautiful. Mentone is just a few minutes away by car and the DeSoto State park is about 10-15 minutes away. It was a great week! ##### Bonnie C. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan D., Birmingham, AL USA Feb 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Mountain Getaway Home! I can't say enough about this beautiful home. It was incredibly spacious with the most comfortable furnishings. There were 4 of us for a Girl's Getaway but this home will easily accommodate several families! There is a large gathering table for meals and the most comfortable living area for late night conversations by the fire! Each bedroom had a super nice bathroom attached. Very nice and plentiful linens and amenities. We took full advantage of the firepit with the cold weather. The view of the river out the large window area was just gorgeous. The location is so convenient to everything, with Desoto Falls just steps down the road. The owner was unusually attentive and provided all the check in information that was needed, even checking in with us during our stay to make sure we had all that was needed. Only one of our group ventured out in the kayak (with the rest of us watching from the dock!) but she had a wonderful time! We can't wait to return to this lovely home!!! ##### Susan D.
