Cozy Mountain Cottage w/ Hot Tub & Porch Swing Bed

We had a wonderful time here. It was everything we wanted and more.

We had a very enjoyable experience

We had a wonderful stay in Mentone! The home was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The peaceful setting made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the mountain scenery. Everything we needed was provided, and the host was responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Porch swing bed was nice for a cool weekend.

Very cozy. Wonderful.

Very cozy cabin! Great for a weekend for relaxing and just a weekend getaway!

I loved the screened in porch space and proximity to DeSoto falls. I was just 5 min drive to trailhead. Owner was also a good commicator. Great way to enjoy long weekend over spring break.

Amazing spot! Quiet location just far enough up the mountain to be away from it all but close enough to everything you’d need/want!

Loved the little cabin feel with the hot tub was very relaxing and cozy. Mentone was a very quaint and quiet little town. The waterfall at Desoto State Park was beautiful.

The best cabin with an amazing outdoor area. The host was nothing short of amazing! The bed swing and outdoor space was so nice and relaxing.

The cabin was a perfect getaway! Close enough to the shops and restaurants of Mentone to be convenient, far enough away to disconnect from it all. The nearby state park was great for a long nature walk.

The home was clean and as described. Loved the porch swing bed and watching movies while relaxing in the crisp fresh air. Went during the holiday season and it was decorated nicely for Christmas. Make sure to plan ahead for food- as she says, the closest grocery store is a drive, and it’ll take a bit to get there. Owner was responsive and worked well with us.

The perfect house for a weekend getaway!! We had deer run up to the hot tub!!

I had a wonderful time here. It's very quiet and relaxing. I had a small issue with the fireplace so I reached out the host. She responded quickly and with relavent information along with guiding me to the manuals. You can tell from the cleanliness of the place that they really care about their properties. She talked to me like I was a person and not just someone paying to stay. Thru out my stay her responses were always very quick! The screened in patio has a wonderful swing bed along with a fireplace that made the bed that much more comfortable and inviting. The hot tub was clean and very warm and relaxing. I give this place full 5 stars and I will definitely be back! Try it out, you won't be disappointed!

This cozy cottage was just what our family of four needed. The location was perfect. The porch swing was amazing, especially with the fall weather! The host was incredibly responsive and helpful with any question we may have had. Check-in was easy as well. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

We celebrated our 20th anniversary this past weekend here and it was perfect! It was the cutest little home ever. Everything you need! We spent the majority of our time on the screened in porch! The swinging daybed was fabulous. We really enjoyed the hot tub. It was amazing to see the deer graze around us. We will definitely be back!

We had a nice stay. We could never figure out how to use the TVs, which wasn't that big of a deal, so we stuck to our tablets for entertainment. The mattress in the master bedroom needs to be replaced for people with back problems; it would be greatly appreciated. When you are up there, you will likely have zero bars for your phone, so be aware. We didn't use the grill or the fire pit, or the jacuzzi but all were ready for use should you choose to use them. Please pay attention to what the house listing has and doesn't have before you book and you will be just fine. DO bring your own bottled water and ice. We spent the majority of our time out on the bed swing on the patio, eating breakfast and lunch, reading and watching videos, and watching the deer that walked by. We will definitely miss that swing. It is in a nicely wooded area.

The property was beautiful and very clean. The screened porch was our favorite and where most of our time was spent. We saw deer daily as they passed thru. The property is not far from town or the state parks/desoto falls. Pizza from Mentone mkt was delicious as well as breakfast at Hatter cafe and dinner at the Wildflower.

This was perfect for our anniversary! The screened in porch is the best and by far our favorite. It had TV and fireplace and right outside the porch is the hot tub. We even had deer show up each evening. Location is close to all the places we wanted to visit.

Super cute property and we very much enjoyed the screen porch! Everything was great, but I do wish the check-in time was a little earlier, the bathroom a little bigger, and the porch fan had an adjustable speed.

This place was amazing! We will definitely be coming back :) Our favorite was the screened in porch for movies and the hot tub !!

Everything was great. Property was amazing. Had no power issues , which was do to a storm . Great property, enjoyed trip. Would go back.

Loved our stay. The porch was fantastic and we enjoyed the wildlife that walked by. The location was great and peaceful. We would gladly stay again.

If you are contemplating booking this property, my only advice is to book now!! It was absolutely perfect for our long weekend stay! The property was extremely clean and cozy! We had lots of rain during our trip, but it didn't matter to us because the screened in porch was perfect for lazing and watching movies. All communication with Cathleen was amazing as well - very prompt in responding to all of my questions. We will most definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay. We lived mostly on the screened in porch and swing bed. We watched families of deer and raccoons visit each night.

Even tho it rained and stormed all weekend long we still enjoyed the cabin. There was a small break on Saturday morning before more storms came in that we were able to get in and enjoy the hot tub. Cozy little cabin for quality family time. Found out that our 8 year old daughter was able to catch on to the Uno game pretty quick and she enjoyed playing Uno with her mom majority of the weekend while we were there. We baked some chocolate chip cookies and ate and had Reese’s ice cream birthday cake for my birthday. Hope maybe we can come back during the fall or sometime when we can maybe enjoy all of the cabin hot tub, fire pit, and fire places and the swing too. Since it was raining the swing was wet, but hope to return sometime and enjoy it all. Thanks for a wonderful family time in your cozy cabin! Sincerely The Long Fanily!

Relaxing. Great place to stay

Our first trip to Mentone for a family wedding. The cabin was beautiful. The only reason for not giving it a 10/10 was due to non-working gas fireplace on the screened-in porch and the hot tub was not operational, due to issues and had been drained. But the Hostess was great to work with. The cabin is equipped with everything you might need. This area is our new favorite place to come visit. Quaint shops and yummy places to eat.

Loved the property and loved the house. It was just what we needed for a weekend away. Communication with host was quick and amazing. Would highly recommend to friends.

Very pleased with our stay. The cabin was cozy and spacious for a couples weekend. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and bed swing.

Hot tub was 56 degrees so we’re not able to use it. Otherwise, everything was awesome

We enjoyed our stay at Southern Star. The proximity of the cabin to all the things we wanted to do was great! TN, AL and GA all within a short drive. Cathleen was a wonderful host. She genuinely cares about the guest experience and that speaks volumes.Desoto Falls has lovely hikes,Cloudland Canyon waterfall hikes (stair climbing galore), Lost Falls is near by also.Chattanooga is just a 50 min drive and there are endless attractions there. Raccoon Mountain Cavern Crystal Palace tour was way more enjoyable than Ruby Falls for us. Rock City is always fun.If you love nature and just exploring this is a great area to stay in.

I was excited about the Little Blue Cabin. It was just the perfect size for my husband and I for the long weekend in Mentone that I had planned for us. It was conveniently located. I loved the gas fireplaces. Very easy to operate. The queen mattress downstairs was very comfortable. The couch was a bit worn and not very comfortable. The inside of the cabin was clean and decorated nicely. I love the farmhouse decor. The kitchen was cute and had everything we needed. I loved the screened in porch with the fireplace, bed swing and tv. The screened in porch needed a good cleaning. The floor had a thick layer of dirt and dust and there were leaves on the floor when we arrived. There were large cob webs in the corners and on the framing and screens behind the couch and swing. The front porch had an old mop standing in the corner that appeared to have been left there quite some time.. The porch floor was also dirty and had large thick cob webs on the lights and fixtures. Just a little extra TLC and attention to detail on the outside would have made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable.

Overall, enjoyed the cabin. Very cozy. Enjoyed the screened in porch and fire pit. Only downside was the cleanliness, lots of cobwebs and towels and rugs were left in the washer when we got there.

Very nice and clean place. Loved the hot tub. Enjoyed the fire pit. Perfect get away.

Everything was nice and clean. Everything we expected. I think $125 cleaning fee for one night in a little much. Arrived at 4pm and left at 9am.
