This cabin is close to grocery, restaurants and outdoor adventures near Desoto State Park. We travel with our dogs and they loved the porch sitting and being able to get them out for walk up the hill and back to cabin was very nice.

The Otter Box cabin was the perfect getaway! We were offered very early check-in to this immaculate cabin. We had absolutely everything we needed and some extras to include snacks and the best coffee. Sitting on the porch and watching the deer with a hot, fresh cup of coffee was a favorite. We were comfortable, and the setting is so peaceful. The host is friendly and very precise with directions. Our only regret is we couldn't stay longer. ##### Brad A.

The home was beautiful inside and out and everything was fresh, clean, and inviting. We appreciated all of the extra compliments, from soft cozy blankets to fresh ground coffee and Christmas treats! We also loved the location, private and surrounded by the forest and wildlife, but close enough to town to visit attractions and enjoy restaurants. We highly recommend the Otter Box! ##### Renee & Tom P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chuck C.

The Otter Box Cabin is a slice of heaven here on earth! The actual cabin as well as the grounds is so peaceful and beautiful! The living area in Otter Box Cabin is spacious for a Cabin sleeping six guests. Otter Box is graciously stocked with all the comforts of home. Parking is extremely convenient...you can back up your vehicle to the steps, and most importantly, there is a handicap ramp available to guests who are less comfortable with the stairs! Having the ramp was the #1 reason we booked this specific cabin! We intend to book The Otter Box Cabin for our next visit! ##### Debara & Barry T.

From the moment we arrived at the Otterbox Cabin, we fell in love with the area and the cabin. The cabin is beautiful and clean and had everything we could have asked for! The location was perfect- secluded, but still not far from Desoto Falls and the park and the canyon and restaurants. This was our first time in Mentone, and I never dreamed it was such a hidden gem. We did lots of hiking, even around the cabin itself, and sight-seeing and the Otterbox Cabin was the perfect place to come home to after a busy day out. We can’t thank you enough for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. We can’t wait to rent it again ,and hopefully the Coyote cabin as well, and bring our family back to experience the beauty of this area. It was a perfect weekend! ##### Kim M.

Oct 17, 2023 #### Well Stocked and Very Clean My stay at this property was fantastic. The cabin was well cleaned and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies and utensils. I had a few questions during my stay and Misti was able to answer and address those immediately. One of my favorites was the variety of teas they offered and the fact that they had an electric water kettle. It made my tea experience that much more enjoyable. Also, there are several throw blankets lying around. This was nice because when we did get cold, we didn't have to hunt for something to cover up with or pull bedding off the beds. The area was very quiet and close to DeSoto State Park. I would highly recommend the Otter Box cabin. ##### Jennifer M.

We rented this cabin for two nights. It had a ramp for me to get to the high porch that was unbelievable. I am handicapped and in a wheelchair. The ramp could not have been any more perfect. The front door was plenty wide for me and the rooms were spacious. We love being outside and we stayed on the big front deck most of the time. We saw two deer that grazed up to the cabin, one squirrel jumping from tree to tree, and lots of birds! The only thing we didn't see was a bear and I was so thankful it or they didn't come see us :) We will be back to rent again! We had a great weekend! ##### Wilton S.

The beds were very comfortable and the cabin was very clean. We have a daughter in a wheelchair so we loved the wide door ways and the ramp. We had no issues at all getting her in and her being able to move around in the cabin. It was so peaceful and quiet, we will definitely be back. Misti was an excellent host and available if needed. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay. ##### Rita M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chuck C. Sep 5, 2024 #### Peaceful and relaxing cabin in the woods We enjoyed staying at Otter Box cabin for the long Labor Day weekend. This cabin is close to grocery, restaurants and outdoor adventures near Desoto State Park. We travel with our dogs and they loved the porch sitting and being able to get them out for walk up the hill and back to cabin was very nice. Thank you for your great hospitality and we will for sure be back. The Colburn’s Cinder and Bandit Mandeville, Louisiana ##### Chuck C.

Feb 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful cabin in the state forest hills We were looking for an alternative to a hotel when we were directed to these cabins. Glad we chose this, because it turned out the location was phenomenal, the cabin was more than a cabin (it was a small house) and our stay simply was perfect. From having dinner around the campfire every night, the hiking, trails and nearby waterfalls, this truly was a hidden gem. I immediately told family and friends about it. I'm sure we'll be back! ##### Gregg W.
