About this property
Designer 1880s Log Cabin - 2 Private King Suites - Walk to Mentone
The Nest at Hoot Owl Hollow is a fully renovated 1880s log cabin offering the rare combination of historic character and modern comfort — all within walking distance of downtown Mentone.
With two private King suites, each with its own full bath, plus a separate bunk room, The Nest is ideal for couples traveling together or families who appreciate both privacy and shared gathering space. Guests often say it feels like “two cabins in one” because of the thoughtful layout.
The main suite includes a spacious bath with dual vanities, clawfoot tub, and separate shower. The second King suite also features a private bath. The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas range and opens to the living area, where comfortable seating surrounds a gas fireplace.
Step outside to the covered front porch or the stone patio with wood-burning outdoor fireplace (firewood provided). Floor-to-ceiling windows offer wooded views that make you feel immersed in nature — yet you are just steps from Mentone’s village shops, restaurants, Brow Park, and seasonal events.
Nearby attractions include DeSoto Falls (3 miles), DeSoto State Park (9 miles), and Little River Canyon (18 miles).
Wildlife such as deer, turkey, and owls are frequently seen throughout the property’s 12 wooded acres.

Host was awesome and very accommodating. Had everything you could need and very kid friendly with bunk beds. Looking forward to staying again in the future.
The perfect cabin vibes! My family will be back. The location to everything is great! Comfortable amenities with that cabin feel we were looking for to get away!
We enjoyed this cozy cabin that was tucked away in the woods, and yet not such a long way from the conveniences of town and getting back on the interstate. Beautiful and thoughtfully decorated with lovely fixtures. We thoroughly had a lovely time and would love to stay again. Thank you all so much for hosting our fall getaway!
This cottage is so welcoming. Clean, cozy. Everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Peaceful and relaxing. The art gave us something to talk about for a few days. Do write down directions and door codes before you get there, no signal on the driveway. Strong internet once signed in. Very convenient to town and surrounding areas Wish we could have stayed longer.
Extremely pleasant property with no negatives! Rain most of the stay but the tin roof, fireplace and comfortable furnishings made it a most delghtful stay. Already looking forward to a return visit.
We booked a last minute stay at the Nest for Spring Break and could not have been happier. The cabin was perfectly decorated and had all the modern amenities that made our stay super relaxing. And the beds! SO comfy it was hard to get out every morning. :) can’t wait to go back again!!
We traveled with our grown daughters. The area is beautiful with lots of hiking and waterfalls. It was nice to come back to this cabin that had everything we needed to cook meals. We were even able to do our laundry and then enjoy an evening by the fire.
The cabin was fantastic! Exactly as described and more. Everything about this place was spot on from the location to the comfort. We spent a lovely weekend here and look forward to returning!
This was our second stay in a month. Needless to say, we LOVE this whimsical, artistic escape just off the main roads through Mentone and to Desoto Falls. Plenty of outdoor space for our Golden Retriever too!
Decided on a last minute getaway and it was great! The cabin was quirky and so fun! We did not take our children but noticed it was probably better suited for older kids or those that aren't on the move yet. It was exceptionally clean and the owners were so easy to get in touch with. We went in February and it was chilly in the cabin, warmed up with the gas fireplace and heaters but just something to keep in mind. Mentone is a jewel and this cabin is definitely worth the rental!
What a WONDERFUL weekend !!! A quaint, relaxed area with so much charm ! The cabin was perfect for any need ! We went hiking at Cloudland State Park , relaxed buy a fire and grilled , visited the town market !!! So many little gems to uncover in Mentone ! And I can not mention how wonderful Juli was ! She even mailed home clothes that had been forgotten at checkout ... She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is everything it should be ... Will definitely stay again !
My husband and I loved the property, felt like we were visiting a cabin that had been in the family for years. All of the artwork, unique furniture, and details made for a cozy visit. The bathtub was perfect, restful sleep on the bed, and we also loved the outdoor area. The full moon was beautiful through the trees, and during the day watching the leaves fall was so relaxing. Not to mention so close to everything! Super fast wifi too, which is great because we had no other reception in the area. Decided to stay an extra day last minute and Juli made it happen with little effort. Thanks again for a great stay!
Arrived to a clean and warm cabin. Communication with Juli was great and she went above and beyond for us. The bunk bed room was a thrill for my 7 and 4 year grandsons. Only slight surprise was that the bunk room is accessed through the second king bedroom but not an issues for us. The cabin stayed very comfortable even with temperatures dropping to 20 degrees. The gas fireplace was great. Holiday decorations and the Hoot Owl theme were nice. We loved the location being close to Mentone Market and DeSoto Falls. Sadly, we missed the snow by 7-8 days. Would definitely stay again.
Cabin was a nice getaway during the Christmas holiday. The owners were great at communicating with us about an issue with the heat. It broke the day we were checking in and they called to discuss the issue. They provided us space heaters to use along with the gas log fireplace. It worked out great. Fontastic Food truck is right down the street and worth stopping at on the weekend. Our dogs enjoyed the cabin and meeting the neighborhood armadillo. We were all able to relax which was the main point of the trip. Cabin is unique in a good way and there's a nice outdoor space when the weather good.
