About this property

Private Creek and walking distance to downtown Mentone!

Cozy cottage nestled in the woods with large screened in porch to listen to the birds. Bedrooms have blackout blinds for a prefect night sleep. Fire pit for evenings with the family. Only one mile to Mentone brow park to watch beautiful sunsets. We have games for the rainy days. Fully stocked kitchen. We are 1.4 miles from Lil Mole Run golf course, and best of all a private creek to walk and enjoy all to yourself. This is a new property and the yard is still in progress, thank you for your understanding.

Creekside Cottage is Amazing!

This feels like a new home, everything is perfect. I felt like I was secluded but was only a half mile from town. The private creek is so nice, especially since it is in the forest. Amy went above and beyond as a host to help me feel welcome. I hope to stay here again.

Perfect getaway

This place was perfect for our little getaway. We saw deer the first morning we were there and enjoyed walking down to the creek. The rooms were nicely furnished and very comfortable. The gas fireplace heated up the cabin very quickly. We loved both porches and spent a lot of time on both. We also enjoyed the firepit area. The kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware. We will back.

Perfect spot for relaxing getaway!

This home is perfect for a couple or small family to have a relaxing getaway. The home is set up with everything you could need. Rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. We stay in vacation rentals when we travel, and this one is now at the top of our list of favorites!Shops and restaurants are within walking distance.The owners thoughtfully provided chairs for relaxing by the creek and there is a fire pit for your enjoyment outdoors. Our favorite thing was the screened in porch. We enjoyed our coffee each morning sitting out there listing to the birds. We saw a deer our first morning there.It gets our highest rating for a vacation rental!
