We loved the layout of the cabin. The view from most of the windows was of the woods which made it feel more private. The kitchen had sufficient dishes and cookware and would have been easy to prepare a meal. We enjoyed the fire pit one day. There were plenty of towels and other amenities. We did have an issue with the mini split but it was resolved quickly. The large acorns hitting the metal roof was noisy at times but didn’t prevent sleep.

We loved our stay at Hoot Owl Hollow! The cottage, with all of the art, books and owl decor was so well thought out and cozy. No detail was left out to make sure our needs were met. The soaking tub was most excellent, and the furniture was so comfortable with many choices for relaxing, including the porch. A fire was set up for us out front and the lights were on when we arrived. Our host was available and responsive to our additional needs. The setting was secluded and beautiful, yet very close to town. The last morning of our stay we saw a family of deer quietly grazing outside the kitchen window!

Our first time in Mentone. Came for our 20th anniversary. The cottage was just our style and we were so comfortable and happy there for three nights. Much needed relaxation and nature time. We plan to come back.

Excellent. As a person who lives in a 520 sq ft cabin, just a hint concerning the Murphy bed. You may want to consider a full size bed rather than the queen murphy. The only irritation was the bedroom door will not open nor shut without picking up the bed. This was an irritant to me because I like quiet and dark when I sleep. The door issue makes privacy in the bedroom a problem.

Quaint little cottage just steps from town. The outdoor lights and fire pit made for amazing star gazing and an early season for lightning bugs lit up the landscape..
