About this property

"Imagine waking up right next to a national park, stepping onto the deck with a warm cup of coffee in hand, and taking a moment to reflect before setting off on a trail for adventure. Later, we could explore Mentone, maybe stop for a leisurely lunch, then hike to waterfalls or dip into a secluded swimming hole. If we're in the mood, browsing through antique shops could be a fun way to spend the afternoon. As the day winds down, we’d return to our cozy spot for dinner, then sit out on the deck, soaking in the peaceful night sounds of a five-frog pond.
Now that’s what I call a getaway—far from the routine, full of fresh air and discovery. Let’s make it happen!"

France in The Wilderness

We had an awesome time. The property was just as described and the appointments were great. If you’re looking for a place in the country, but close enough to Mentone and Desoto State Park, this is the place. We will definitely be back!

Perfect romantic hideaway.

The attention to detail on the interior was spectacular. I’ve never felt more comfortable anywhere other than home. The Bed, furniture, bathroom fixtures are a true treat. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals and the distance from popular restaurants such as the wildflower cafe and the state park make its location perfect to enjoy everything in the area. Our host was very professional and treated us like wanted guests the entire stay.

Weekend away

Very difficult to navigate. Need more signs. It’s a work in progress… pricy considering how small it is and outside is still under construction

Weekend getaway

Ms. Bobbie and Mr. Ray couldn't have been a better property owner. They were there for anything that might have came about. The conversations out on thr deck was absolutely wonderful. Now the flat was obviously custom designed by Ms. Bobbie. Every little thing had an awesome story behind how it was acquired. We talked about the wonderful flat to Jesus and the Bible. We will definitely stay again. Thank you again Bobbie and Ray!! Angela

Extended weekend get away with the hubs

This rental was a perfect, peaceful, and quiet get away for a long weekend with the husband! The accommodations were fantastic! It was such a romantic setting. I can't praise the owners enough. They made themselves very accessible during our entire stay. The electricity went out briefly, totally out of their control, they brought us an extra blanket, lights, and a phone charger. They also provided us info about local attractions, which was helpful for out of towers. We would certainly recommend this rental and wouldn't hesitate to rent it again ourselves.
