Highlight of our spring break

We loved staying at this property over spring break. It was the perfect time of year to enjoy the porch, deck, and hot tub. We hope to visit Mentone again soon and stay at this same property!

College friends getaway

Great relaxing weekend with a peaceful surrounding. Close enough to outdoor activities and shopping with ability to be back “home” to prepare meal at cabin. Well stocked kitchen. Would stay again with friends or family.

Fun cabin in the woods!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bird House. It was the perfect spot for our family. The kids loved the hot tub and the big yard to run around in. My husband and I enjoyed having some cocktails by the fire pit. The house had all the amenities we needed and more! It was close to town, but still felt secluded in the woods! We will definitely be back!

Excellent property!

Our family was in the area for a wedding and thoroughly enjoyed staying in this house. It was well decorated and furnished making it very comfortable. We have 5 younger children and there was plenty of space in the kitchen and living room; we never felt cramped. The house was well stocked and the owners responded well to needs/concerns we had. Our only disappointment was that the weather wasn't more pleasant so we could enjoy the hammocks and outdoor space. If in the area again, would stay here again or look at the owners other properties.

Mountain magic

My daughter and I spent several nights enjoying the bird house before her camp session started. The spacious cabin is a perfect mix of rustic with modern touches (jacuzzi tub and bidet). The 2 porches and 2 outdoor seating areas make for relaxing evenings watching the fireflies. Comfortable place to stay away from home with access to all Mentone has to offer. Recommend for families and friends. Seth was helpful with some trouble shooting and helped make our stay smooth.

We enjoyed our time with family. The whole house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was spacious and well supplied. The bedrooms were good, but could use some new mattresses and pillows.

Hot tub was clean but only half of the jets eere operable. The rooms were all clean and stocked. We had a couple issues with the grill and garden tub but when we contacted the host they were very helpful in getting them corrected and or fixed to our satisfaction
