Forget-Me-Knot Cottage at The Wilderness of Mentone adjoins the LRCNP
I'm searching for a charming, beautifully decorated cottage designed for two—peaceful, intimate, and nestled near hiking trails that lead into a breathtaking State or National Park. The space should be non-smoking and pet-free, offering a serene retreat. Ideally, I'd love to hear the distant sound of a train whistle drifting through the valley, adding to the ambiance. A private campfire and a grill would make the experience even better, perfect for quiet evenings under the stars. And if nature allows, I'd be delighted to see deer gracefully roaming near a nearby pond. I know this might be a tall order, but I’m confident this hidden gem exists—if you find it, please pencil me in!

“We had an absolutely amazing stay at this peaceful, precious little gem! The property was serene and beautifully maintained, with a trailhead right on-site that made it perfect for outdoor adventures. Ray and Bobbie were fabulous hosts—warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. Their hospitality truly made our visit special. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with nature at your doorstep and wonderful hosts, this is the perfect spot. We can’t wait to come back!”
Enjoyed a short, relaxing few days away from the busy life of work and stress of everyday activities. Mentone was only a short drive, hiking on property and the coziness of the cabin was just what was needed. Loved how you could write on the bathroom wall and leave your story. So many over the years of enjoying their stay
My husband and I booked this property for a quick getaway for our 17th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect little cabin. Very clean and sits on beautiful property. It was very quiet and relaxing. Owners were very attentive and responded to messages quickly.
We really enjoyed staying here. We were looking to get away for a weekend and it fit exactly what we had in mind. It is near some hiking spots and we went to Chattanooga (about an hour away) and explored and did some fun things. We even had a couple super nice dogs that joined us on walks and acted as protectors. All of it was a great stay. Would come back again.
We needed some time away from responsibilities and found this cottage to meet our needs. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.
We had a great weekend trip to Pine Mountain. This rental fit our family well, with enough space to spread out but also lovely space to spend time together. We sat on the screened porch both mornings and drank our coffee together. The only downside of this rental was the bathrooms could have been cleaned better. Not a huge deal and I quickly cleaned both bathrooms. Otherwise, everything was perfect. We’ll definitely consider this rental again when we are back in the area.
This place was so cozy it didn't take any time at all to adjust and feel comfortable here. Bobbie was very thoughtful with the information she provided and with the directions. Can't wait to come back!
Beautiful property with trail and swimming hole you could access from property. Hosts went above and beyond to make our team feel welcomed. We can't wait to come back!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how cute and spacious the cottage was. The host was excellent – very responsive and communicative, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
The location was perfect for us, just a short distance to De Soto Park, yet off the beaten path enough to feel like a true retreat. One of our favorite moments was sitting on the covered porch in the rain and early mornings when it was cool – such a peaceful and relaxing experience.
The thoughtful touches, like the abundance of hotel amenities, really made us feel well taken care of. We highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a cozy, well-equipped getaway.
Owners were the best we've ever experienced. They were very thorough with detailed information and quickly responded to every inquiry.
The cabin was perfect and was well cared. It is the place to be still and cut out all of "the noise " in our life. We left restored and ready to jump back into life's chaos.
The stay was nice. The cabin was very clean. Staff was very polite. The restaurant (Elevations) was great and the staff was great. Food was delicious. The dogs near the cabin need to be on a chain or leash. Some of the things on our agenda were altered because of the dogs running around, so we could not enjoy it the way we wanted.
My husband and I decided to take an impromptu weekend getaway and began looking for the perfect place to stay. As we looked through the many choices in Mentone, we came across Forget Me Knot and instantly fell in love! Bobbie reached out once it was booked and was just as responsive throughout our stay.The cabin was even better than the pictures and offered the most peaceful surroundings. We loved the unique walls in the bathroom where people have signed their names and dates of when they stayed in individual hearts. What an sweet way to memorialize our time together! We highly recommend this beautiful cabin and the amazing hosts to everyone we know! We will definitely be back!
