About this property

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!

Such a lovely stay- would definitely book again! Cottage was cozy and comfy! My husband and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to light a fire and sit outside, got some puppy visitors which was so nice! The grounds were beautiful. Easy drive to lots of hiking trails and close to Little River Canyon! The hosts were very friendly and checked in on us and made sure we were comfortable contacting them for anything we needed. Highly recommend!!!

Great cottage

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.

Weekend getaway

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
