"I'm dreaming of a cozy little cottage, tucked away near stunning parkland. I don’t need much—just the essentials: a comfortable bed, a bathroom, a small kitchen for preparing meals, and maybe a screened porch where I can sit outside and soak in the surroundings. A non-smoking, pet-free space is a must, and a small campfire would be the perfect touch for unwinding under the stars. I've heard Mentone is a hidden gem, a true escape into nature, and that sounds exactly like what I want. The thought is exciting—does such a place exist? And if there’s a water feature, like a small pond for fishing, that would be even better."

It's always a delight to stay at Mountain Meadow--Bobbie and Ray and very responsive, the house is always clean and cozy, and it's such a peaceful and relaxing location!
Spotless! Bed was extremely comfortable. The view to the pond and the screened in back porch was so peaceful. Enough space to spread out and relax. Hiking trails nearby and flowers blooming everywhere. Did I say PEACEFUL?!! A wonderful weekend or longer getaway!
Bobbie and Ray are fantastic host: from booking to check-out we felt welcome and cared for. There are so many thoughtful touches throughout the cottage and property. Everything one could possibly need they provided. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and the bed was so comfortable. The shower!! The shower is amazing! It is so evident that Bobbie and Ray truly have hearts for hospitality. We look forward to staying at each one of their properties during future visits!
This cozy little cottage had everything for a great time away for our anniversary. Quiet area with everything you need for meal prep. The hosts thought of everything to make for a comfortable stay. It was a great relaxing experience and we will be back.
Very cozy & private. Extremely quiet. We enjoyed walking around the pond and sitting on the bench. In the afternoon it was very pleasant watching the sunset on the back screened in porch. The cottage was very clean.And Ray and Bobbie were very attentive to our needs.
Amazing property. Very beautiful cabin. The owners are amazing and very tentative. The fur babies on the property were very sweet. We will definitely be back.
The cottage was very stylish and beautiful. The land surrounding the cottage was also very nice and well kept. A short drive from downtown Mentone and the state park.
The interior of this little bit away was absolutely amazing we had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the area. Wish there had been a little more seclusion but the inside of the property made up for anything lacking. The host was also very accommodating and friendly.
It honestly felt like home away from home. We will definitely be coming back to this property for vacation again. Bobbie and Ray were so nice and answered all the questions that we had.
This Cottage was so quaint and cute for a couple looking for a peaceful retreat! We were 10 minutes from DeSoto and Little River Falls! It was gorgeous and Bobbi and Ray were great to communicate with! Would definitely stay here again!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Mountain Meadow. Quiet getaway, with the perfect amount of space and amenities for the two of us. The hosts were very responsive to messages. We’ll be back!
