About this property

This gorgeous cabin, nestled on the mountainside, was originally built using timbers from a 100 year old cotton mill reclaimed from a nearby town. It is Non-Smoking, Pet Free and located minutes from DeSoto State Park Country Store and about 5 miles from downtown Mentone. Be among the tree tops as you enjoy a soak in the sparkling hot tub. (The hot tub is drained, cleaned and refilled with new water after each guest.) The kitchen and bathroom have been beautifully remodeled while maintaining much of the original cabinetry. Enjoy cooking in a fully equipped kitchen with sleek new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Begin your day in a custom walk-in shower with natural slate tiles and river rock, a rain shower head, and frameless glass shower door surround. Cozy up next to a fire in the fire pit and admire the stars. Enjoy hiking, sightseeing, and exploring in nearby Historic Mentone, DeSoto State Park, DeSoto Falls, and Little River Canyon. Take in a round of golf at Cloudmont Ski & Golf Resort or go horseback riding through the trails in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. This area has so much to offer. All that is missing is you!!

Perfect getaway

My wife and I were very impressed with the cabin aesthetics and amenities, everything in the interior appeared to be spanking new and clean. The covered hot tub was perfect in the evening after hiking in the nearby trails for most of the day.

Perfect getaway

My boyfriend and I chose this cabin based on its location and a few minor details. We got so lucky to have found Laurel Ridge. The host Nathan was extremely knowledgeable about the area making several suggestions to enhance our stay before our arrival. Upon entering the cabin, we were blown away by its beauty and every sense was considered from amazingly comfortable furniture and bedding to bathrobes and scented candles. This cabin is the perfect fit lace to come to if you chose to unplug but still surround yourself in luxury.

Birthday getaway

This cabin is perfect for a couples getaway. Remodeled, cozy and so well decorated. Christmas decor was a festive added touch that helped us celebrate in this season as well. The property is very well maintained, clean, and quiet. Very close to the original entrance to Desoto State park. We had a great hike to Lost Falls and Laurel falls and did not see another human. With the leaves down you can see the sunset from the hot tub on the porch. Great weekend, and excellent rental. Nathan was prompt and very kind to check in. Would rent again.

Perfect fall weekend

This cabin is beautiful and well equipped with everything needed for a more than comfortable stay. Communication with the owner was excellent! We hiked to the bottom of Desoto falls and enjoyed dinner at the Wildflower Cafe on Saturday evening (with reservations). The market was great for lunch and we picked up grab and go salads for later. The evenings were cool so the outdoor fire and the hot tub were a welcoming treat! I look forward to a repeat of the weekend soon and I wouldn’t change anything!
