Winking Owl at Hoot Owl Hollow is a romantic, loft-style cabin designed for couples who appreciate comfort, design, and a peaceful wooded setting — all within walking distance of downtown Mentone.

The open floorplan creates an intimate atmosphere, where the queen bed, freestanding soaking tub, gas fireplace, and living space flow together in one thoughtfully designed room. Large windows frame wooded views, giving the cabin a light-filled, airy feel.

The fully equipped kitchen with gas range offers generous storage and workspace. A second flexible room includes a queen Murphy bed and fold-down desk, making it ideal for remote work or an additional guest. The primary bath features dual vanities and a walk-in shower.

Step outside to enjoy the covered deck with rocker and high-top table for two, a private firepit with firewood provided, and an outdoor shower for a touch of mountain adventure.

Winking Owl is one of three cabins on 12 wooded acres at Hoot Owl Hollow. Guests can cross a small bridge over a seasonal creek and explore a simple walking trail behind the property.

Nearby attractions include Mentone’s village shops and restaurants (a short walk), Brow Park, 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 woods.

    Our recent stay at The Winking Owl in Mentone, Alabama was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a peaceful little escape from reality. The cabin matched the photos perfectly — beautiful, cozy, clean, and thoughtfully put together in every way.The atmosphere was so relaxing and romantic, surrounded by quiet nature, fresh air, and the kind of calm you don’t realize you need until you experience it. It was the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and just enjoy the moment together.If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with charm, comfort, and a romantic vibe, The Winking Owl is truly something special. We already can’t wait to come back.

    We loved the layout of the cabin. The view from most of the windows was of the woods which made it feel more private. The kitchen had sufficient dishes and cookware and would have been easy to prepare a meal. We enjoyed the fire pit one day. There were plenty of towels and other amenities. We did have an issue with the mini split but it was resolved quickly. The large acorns hitting the metal roof was noisy at times but didn’t prevent sleep.

    We loved our stay at Hoot Owl Hollow! The cottage, with all of the art, books and owl decor was so well thought out and cozy. No detail was left out to make sure our needs were met. The soaking tub was most excellent, and the furniture was so comfortable with many choices for relaxing, including the porch. A fire was set up for us out front and the lights were on when we arrived. Our host was available and responsive to our additional needs. The setting was secluded and beautiful, yet very close to town. The last morning of our stay we saw a family of deer quietly grazing outside the kitchen window!

    Excellent. As a person who lives in a 520 sq ft cabin, just a hint concerning the Murphy bed. You may want to consider a full size bed rather than the queen murphy. The only irritation was the bedroom door will not open nor shut without picking up the bed. This was an irritant to me because I like quiet and dark when I sleep. The door issue makes privacy in the bedroom a problem.

We didn't long for a thing while we were there. The town is minutes within walking distance and the shops and cafes are wonderful! The Winking Owl is a magical place where time stands still. We'll definitely return on our next vacation.
