Aug 26, 2025 #### Reminder of the beauty created by a good and loving God! Talking Leaves Cottage is an amazing place to stay. The hosts were quick to respond to questions and thoughtful in preparing for visitors. This home is warm and comfortable, roomy and with an amazing view from the large back deck. The beds were comfortable, living room was perfect for a large group to gather, long dining table seated up to 10 for meals together or cards/ games, and the kitchen was well equipped to prepare delicious meals. Evenings on the large back deck to watch the sunset was wonderful - a reminder of the beauty created by a good and loving God for us to enjoy. This home was also close to several gorgeous waterfalls and hiking trails that we enjoyed while in the area. We definitely plan to revisit this cottage on future visits to Mentone. Thanks for sharing your home with us! ##### Lela C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen A. May 27, 2025 #### Convenient, clean, and comfortable I had four criteria when booking: dog-friendly, king-size beds, two baths, and one level. Talking Leaves Cottage fit the bill. The spacious front yard was an added extra as was the incredible view off the back deck. I loved the Christian influence that was apparent there as well as the owners' love for dogs. This was our pup's first outing, and it was a great experience. The nearby hiking was a huge asset, and we enjoyed eating our complimentary meal at The Hatter Cafe, which provided a unique and fun motif. It rained a lot over the Memorial Day weekend, but it didn't dampen our enjoyment. The falls at both Little River and DeSoto State Park were worth the hike. I wish I could have spent more time on the back deck soaking in the view, but the rain did not allow. The cottage was perfect for our needs and plenty spacious for our crew. On the negative side, I am not a fan of animal skin floor coverings. ##### Karen A. ### 8/10 Good #### KERRY L. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### KERRY L.
