Garden Cottage-historic cottagew/hot tub

Garden Cottage is a magical little mountain cottage less than a half mile to downtown Mentone. Open concept living that's newly renovated and ready for your retreat to Mentone! Please note that open concept living in this historic mountain home means that the walls are open at the top of the bedrooms to allow better airflow, as you can see in the photos. Everything is new but with a feeling of the old mountain cottages of the 1950's. Original ceiling beams, wood walls and floors along with a modern new kitchen, fast WIFI and gorgeous gardens and fountain. Two cozy bedrooms, one Queen & one Full, a Queen sleeper sofa and one bathroom. The kitchen is stocked with all you need to prep meals with wall oven & cooktop. Take in the mountain air on the screened porch just off the kitchen. Enjoy the gorgeous gardens, gazebo, and many sitting areas surrounding the property, and hot tub just off the screened in porch.

Hot tub was so relaxing and the garden spot was almost whimsical at night the way the entire thing lite up. The multitude of crickets singing at night was amazing and I’m certain a bullfrog frequents the garden fountain as I heard his croaking as well. I would stay again. Very homey feel

The Garden Cottage = Heaven

We had a wonderful stay at The Garden Cottage. It certainly lives up to its name! We loved walking the property and seeing the beautiful plants and a little wildlife. The location is excellent because it is close to town, Brow Park (gorgeous sunsets!!), and DeSoto Park. The cottage itself is adorable and the perfect size. The kitchen was a dream come true and I enjoyed baking in the double ovens.. the living room is comfortable, the bathroom was plenty big, and the beds were very comfy. We hope we can stay at The Garden Cottage on our future trips to Mentone.

Cabin in the woods

It was a quiet cabin...a little hard to find as GPS wanted to take us to the other side of Co Rd 89...several times The cabin was quaint, clean and just a relaxing time for our 10th wedding anniversary...we should have brought our dog but we were worried he might freak in a new place
