Great restaurants just 2 minutes to downtown Mentone include Wildflower Cafe, Mentone Market, The Hatter, and many more!
If you would like to use the grill or fire pit during your stay please bring a fire-starter and wood.
The property is large and roomy. There are plenty of gathering spaces to spread out in. We had a couple of issues, but they did not interfere in our fun and could not be helped. Luckily, because it’s so large, there’s a “backup” for everything!
After a rocky start, (a few maintenance issues) to which an owner and his sweet son came to our rescue. The house was very nice. It was so spacious with plenty of gathering places for our 5 couples. We enjoyed just hanging out at the house. The MIL suite was amazing!
This was our second stay in this home. The house continues to impress with its comfortableness and beauty, and the hosts are a pleasure to work with. We hope to be back next year!
My family and I spent Thanksgiving week here and it was wonderful! The pictures online actually make it look smaller than it is. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of space. We had 14 adults (6 couples and 2 single brothers in their 20s) and 5 children (aged 2-6). We filled the place, but had enough room for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces of the house as well. We spent a day in Chattanooga, and occasionally ventured out for a park, disc golf, groceries, etc. Mostly we just enjoyed time together in the house. One suggestion would be to bring a folding table, if possible. There's only one table in the house (and a small one we used as a kids table) and it wasn't big enough to fit all of us. Plus, we like to play games and do puzzles, and there wasn't room for that here. Further breakdown of the bedrooms if you're interested: On the first floor, there are 3 BRs. One with a full-size bed and a private bathroom, one is a large primary bedroom right in the middle of the house with a king and private bathroom, and then there's a large suite with its own wing of the house. Up one staircase, there are 4 BRs. 3 have full beds and 1 has a king. Those 4 bedrooms share 2 bathrooms. Up another staircase was what we called the cousins room. This is a long room with 1 full-size bed and 4 twins. There are French doors in the middle that you can close to make it more like 2 rooms.
We LOVED our stay in this home! Even though our weekend didn’t go as planned, we still took advantage of our booking and were not disappointed! What a beautiful space!
Awesome to place to host a family get together.
This place is perfect for retreats. This is the second time I’ve rented for a group. Everyone loves it.
Lots of room! Very comfortable.
This was our second stay in this home. It works well for a large group ( we had 13). The children played in the driveway and we roasted marshmallows at the fire pit. We cooked several meals and ate around the large table. Found the gas stove a little scary as the burners flare up when lit and then burn with an orange flame that leaves soot on the cookware. But it was the same last year so we knew what to expect. The home is clean and the beds comfortable and there’s plenty of room to spread out. Close by one can find kayaking, horseback riding, and hiking. Or you can take a day trip to see caves, shop for antiques or visit Chattanooga.
Fantastic place for large group in a beautiful location. Price was very affordable for a house this size. Would highly recommend. Thanks again.
The place, while very big for one person, was ideal for my solo get away. SO clean. Kyra was very pleasant to work with and I knew she was there for me should I have a problem. I would recommend for large get togethers, plenty of space to spread out and not be right on top of each other.
High Point Retreat was a perfect place for our large (9 person) group. It is nicely decorated, with numerous bed rooms, multiple bathrooms, 4 comfortable living spaces, a large dining area, a well appointed kitchen, and 2 outdoor covered decks. It met all of our criteria, and exceeded expectations. For example, it was nice was that all but 2 bedrooms had only 1 bed (and those 2 only had 2 beds each) and all bedrooms had a bathroom close by. In addition, it is very close to a small park with scenic views across the valley, and also to the Wildflower Cafe, a friendly, quirky dining favorite. It is also close to DeSoto State Park, and a short drive gets you to Chattanooga for even more vacation-tainment options.
Relaxing getaway
I was hosting a business retreat weekend where we attended online events together as well. It was easy to sync up to the TVs for the broadcast and overall such a wonderful place to relax! Only wish I had had more people to join us. The whole environment was uplifting and refreshing!
The house was awesome, plenty of room for everyone! Thanks for sharing your property!
Only real issues was there were lady bugs all over the house. I know it's that time of year but maybe it could have been checked the day before we arrived or morning of. We sweeper up n still had a great time. The microwave did however throw the breaker but after resetting it had no more issues with it. The grill could have been cleaned or at least a good brush. We cleaned it the best we could but ended up putting aluminum foil on it.( Good thing it caught fire while heating the garlic bread). If we have a large group in the area again we will still consider this house .
This house is magical! It is spacious enough to have many places to gather, yet it's also easy to slip away for some privacy. The house itself is simply beautiful. Communication was great as well. This is a great house for a large family gathering or a retreat.
