This 1 bedroom/2 bath mountain cabin features one private bedroom with a queen-sized bed, while the remaining beds (1 full-sized bed, 3 single beds) are located in the loft spaces. There is also a double sleeper sofa in the stunning living room, which is also furnished with a recliner and mounted television(smart tv) over the monumental stone framed wood-burning fireplace. There are 2 double size swinging beds on the 2nd story exterior porch, perfect taking in a relaxing sunset or an afternoon nap. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric stove, microwave, Keurig coffee maker (pods not included) basic cooking utensils, griddle and a full size refrigerator. If that grilled-over-the-campfire flavor is what you crave, a classic charcoal weber grill awaits out back, just remember to bring your favorite briquettes with you!

Unwind at the end of the day with a soothing soak under the stars in the jacuzzi on the back deck, or a tell stories and share laughs around the fire pit in the back yard.
The property is just minutes away from the heart of Mentone where many wonderful attractions can be experienced. Whether in town, hiking trails around DeSoto Falls, or back at the cabin, guests of Kowiliga will certainly forge lasting memories of their vacation on Lookout Mountain.

Quiet Getaway

My family (my husband, our 3 kids, my parents, and me) came for 6 days. Every single one of us enjoyed our stay. It was beautiful, quiet, clean, and comfortable. The hot tub, lake, and porch swing beds were well loved features. We began discussing when we could return within the first few days!

Best Vacation!

We had a great time at this wonderful cabin in Mentone. There is a pond for boating and fishing, great local restaurants nearby, and quick access to the Desoto State Park. The cabin is located in a very quiet and peaceful area. The town of Fort Payne is not too far away for more activities, shopping and museums. We look forward to our next visit!

This cabin is clean, charming, and perfect for a small group! The area is laid back but there are plenty of things to do. The owner gives great recommendations and provides lots of essentials at the cabin. This is my second time staying here, and I’d gladly come again! Great communication without being overbearing. 10/10

Family vacation

Everything was awesome! Enjoyed our morning walks, kids loved fishing the pond, playing corn hole, making s’more’s at the fire pit and the hot tub. Numerous hiking trails and zip lining right around the corner, which is why we chose the area. Manager of the property was amazing and Happy Birthday again!

Cozy and convenient family gathering

The rustic and friendly cabin is the picturesque vibe one expects while staying in Mentone. We loved the jacuzzi, bed swing upstairs and the space(3 stories). It was nice to be within a few minutes to downtown Mentone, DeSota Falls, the park for trails, and even the Dollar General and Dollar Tree. The only closed off bedroom is the master, which was a bit of an adjustment, but there is plenty of space for bedding down. I would recommend this vrbo. Thank you!

Nice relaxing family vacation!

The cabin was cozy and clean. You do have quite a few neighbors around, however this cabin probably had the most privacy. There is plenty of space for parking. There is a lake for fishing and you have to walk on the side yard of the cabin located in front of you to get to it. It's a shared lake with multiple cabins located around the lake. The cabin is in a great location to access Fort Payne, and Chattanooga. The larger bedroom is downstairs and the others are up a flight of steep upstairs. There is no privacy with the beds up stairs, that rooms are all open. The downstairs bedroom is small but comfortable. There seems to be a issue with the plumbing when you flush the toilet or take a shower. It makes a loud noise. My family and I would laugh every time someone flushed the toilet because it sounded like a steamboat for a few seconds. Perhaps the owners should take a look at this issue. The back door ramp looks newly built but the wooden deck around the hot tub is super slippery when wet due to mildew. Overall the property and cabin are great. Perfect little vacation for a small family.
