Designer 1880s Log Cabin - 2 Private King Suites - Walk to Mentone

The Nest at Hoot Owl Hollow is a fully renovated 1880s log cabin offering the rare combination of historic character and modern comfort — all within walking distance of downtown Mentone.

With two private King suites, each with its own full bath, plus a separate bunk room, The Nest is ideal for couples traveling together or families who appreciate both privacy and shared gathering space. Guests often say it feels like “two cabins in one” because of the thoughtful layout.

The main suite includes a spacious bath with dual vanities, clawfoot tub, and separate shower. The second King suite also features a private bath. The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas range and opens to the living area, where comfortable seating surrounds a gas fireplace.

Step outside to the covered front porch or the stone patio with wood-burning outdoor fireplace (firewood provided). Floor-to-ceiling windows offer wooded views that make you feel immersed in nature — yet you are just steps from Mentone’s village shops, restaurants, Brow Park, and seasonal events.

Nearby attractions include DeSoto Falls (3 miles), DeSoto State Park (9 miles), and Little River Canyon (18 miles).

Wildlife such as deer, turkey, and owls are frequently seen throughout the property’s 12 wooded acres.

So cozy and cutely decorated. While we were so close to food and shops - it felt like we were alone in the middle of the woods with the beauty of the outdoor space and property.

We loved the cabin so much. It’s just so perfectly detailed. We will definitely be returning to stay again. Thank you Juli for making the cabin so inviting and warm with lights on and perfect temperature. There is not one thing I can think of that could have made our stay any better with the exception of a longer stay. Thank you for being pet friendly

We had a great stay with our older parents. The cabin was exactly as pictured. We had a cold front unfortunately for our stay but the cabin stayed warm and toasty. Communication was quick and easy with the manager and location was close to downtown within true walking distance. We definitely would come back.

We enjoyed this cozy cabin that was tucked away in the woods, and yet not such a long way from the conveniences of town and getting back on the interstate. Beautiful and thoughtfully decorated with lovely fixtures. We thoroughly had a lovely time and would love to stay again. Thank you all so much for hosting our fall getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd stay in this wonderful cabin on our girls trip. We love everything about the cabin and enjoy spending a weekend catching up and letting God renew us as sisters in Christ. The cabin is welcoming and just perfect. The only thing that may need addressing is the outside fireplace smokes really bad and its hard to sit outside with the fire and enjoy it because of the smoke. Still give the cabin a 5 stars. We will be back. Thank you Juli for making the cabin so comfy.
