We came to Mentone for a girls’ weekend to celebrate our mom’s 75th birthday, and Chestnut Cabin couldn’t have been a more special place for us to spend it. It gave us such a cozy, peaceful place to slow down, laugh, and enjoy being together.
We absolutely loved the cabin’s rustic character, especially the warm, natural woodwork and beautiful wood ceilings throughout. The rich wood gives the entire cabin such a cozy, authentic feel, and you can even smell the history in the old wood and wood-burning fireplace. At the same time, the renovations and modern updates are beautifully done and make the cabin very comfortable without taking away from its original charm.
The location was wonderful and so convenient to everything in Mentone. We walked to the Saturday Farmers Market, St. Joseph Church’s Sacred Garden, and even Mentone Market. When you want those beautiful mountain views, Bluff Park is just minutes away, so you can enjoy the views and then come back to the cabin for peace and serenity. It really felt like the best of both worlds: close to everything, but still quiet and relaxing.
We especially LOVED the screened porch, the beautiful stone fireplace, and the big kitchen table. The table was perfect for gathering together, eating, playing games, and enjoying our time together. Chestnut Cabin helped make our mom’s birthday weekend one we’ll always remember, and we would absolutely stay here again!
