Adventure awaits! Escape to our tiniest Peaceful Retreat to date! Ideal for Guests who enjoy the outdoors and being surrounded by nature, Tiny Cub House is situated on a 1.7 acre retreat property on County Road 642 in Mentone. This secluded retreat property offers guests a peaceful retreat and cool mountain getaway, deep in the woods and high atop Lookout Mountain in Alabama. Relax by the rock fire pit each evening in comfortable Adirondack chairs, and enjoy the beautiful views from the covered front porch with a cup of hot coffee or tea each morning. Explore waterfalls, parks, shops, and restaurants. Wildlife is spotted frequently on the property. Renew, refresh, and be restored!

**THE RETREAT PROPERTY**

When you turn into the private graveled driveway (follow the blue arrow signs), you will see Tiny Cub House, along with your own private parking area (2 cars max).

There are 4 stairs that lead to the covered front porch. This outdoor seating area is an excellent place to unwind at the end of a day full of adventures or enjoy a cup of coffee or hot tea in the morning.

Stepping inside the front door, you will love all that this peaceful retreat offers guests. With only 200 square feet of indoor living space, Tiny Cub House packs a punch with all of its amenities! To the right, there is a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and comfortable bedding (extra blankets are in the upper cabinet). There is a small electric fireplace to enjoy on cool mornings when you're inside, and there is 43" Roku TV and very fast Wi-Fi for streaming your own channel subscriptions. A desk at the foot of the bed can be used as a remote workspace, and the lamp has a USB charging port. Tiny Cub House has a remote-controlled mini split HVAC system for heating and cooling, small ceiling fan, bathroom ventilation fan, and a dehumidifier in the loft area, so it definitely makes for a very comfortable space and is loved by our Guests.

There is a small fold-down dining table that can be lowered from the wall, and then with the press of two buttons, the hinges will allow it to fold up and give you more floor space. In the kitchenette, you will appreciate the thoughtfulness of the homeowners, as there is a beautiful butcher block countertop all the necessities for your retreat in the woods. There is a refrigerator, double-door toaster oven, microwave, 12-cup coffee maker, electric water kettle, 4-quart slow cooker, electric countertop double cast iron burner, electric griddle, stainless cooking pots, teak wood cooking utensils, can opener, dishes, drinking glasses, wine glasses, eating utensils, coffee mugs, cooking spices, and more!

Moving through the main living area, there is a sliding barn-style door beside the refrigerator that leads to a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Through the bathroom, there is a small staircase that lead to the sleeping area.

Up the stairs, there is a full-size loft bed with a 5" memory foam mattress and comfortable bedding. The lamp has a USB charging port.

Back outside and near the covered front porch, there is a rock fire pit with 4 comfortable Adirondack chairs. You are welcomed to use any small pieces of fallen wood on the property that can safely fit inside the fire pit, and firewood bundles are sold at nearby stores. Please only burn firewood, as the homeowners and guests roast food over this fire pit. Extendable roasters are located in the kitchen for your convenience, so be sure to bring ingredients for s'more memories :) There is also a propane BBQ grill (grilling utensils are located in a kitchen cabinet)!

Perfect Little Getaway!

A cozy, comfortable, tiny home in a secluded, wooded area, we enjoyed every aspect of this property. We loved the loft, the fire pit, and the overall feel of the tiny home. It was clean, the beds were nice, and it was easy to cool. We would definitely book again.
