Package at Lookout Mountain!

Whether you come to relax, browse through quaint shops, or explore the natural beauty of Mentone, Chestnut Oaks is the perfect getaway for you.
Our cottage, nestled on the west brow of Lookout Mountain between the historic town of Mentone and Desoto State Park, has a wrap-a-round porch with rockers to enjoy the breathtaking view.
Even though our cottage is equipped with satellite TV which means you won't miss your favorite ball game in the fall, most of you will leave it off to enjoy your restful surroundings. The large porch is the perfect place to enjoy the cool shade of the trees in the summer and colorful fall. The winter months reveal the beauty of the valley below and the ridges in the distance.
Family, friends, or just the two of you can enjoy the rustic pine paneled 'gathering room' where you can read books, play cards or board games, watch TV, or cook up something is the fully equipped kitchen. On a chilly day enjoy a fire in the gas log stove on the stone hearth. There is a small stone patio with a charcoal grill for your cookouts.
The two bedrooms each have a queen sized bed with linens and warm comforts. Each room has storage space in chest of drawers and good closet space. There's a cot in one bedroom. The sofa opens to sleep two if needed. The two bathrooms are equipped with towels, tissue, and hand soap.
The cottage is located 4.6 miles from downtown Mentone and 2 miles from Desoto State Park. Some of the many activities available for you include incredible water falls, hiking, horseback riding at the Dude Ranch and golf at Lil Mole Run. Go to Desoto State park or the Canyon Center for more information on events provided.
If you don't want to cook at the cottage, try some of the wonderful restaurants in Mentone, The Wildflower Cafe, Elevation, Mentone Market and our two new food trucks one at the Mentone Inn and one at Moon Lake Trading Company.
And don't miss the Saturday Farmers Market next to the Mentone Inn, open year round.

Two Nights to Explore Fort Payne
Our trip was to take a family member to Fort Payne. He has been a fan of the band Alabama for many years. Not wanting to stay in a hotel, I viewed many listings in the area before settling on this one based on the reviews. The reviews were accurate and we enjoyed the stay. I would stay there again.

What a lovely cottage that overlooks the valley. We enjoyed sitting on the porch with morning coffee and looking across the valley....We made the cabin our home as went on the longest garage sale challenge way up to Signal Mt. Tennessee. Thanks for sharing the cabin with us.

Peaceful Mountain Stay
The home had everything we needed. It was very clean and location was perfect. The brow view was absolutely beautiful from the back porch. We didn’t cook during our stay because we wanted to try the local restaurants and overall we were very pleased. There is so much to do in the area but relaxing at the house was the favorite part of our getaway. Also, we seen lots of beautiful deer and the property was shaded and quiet. Would stay here again for sure.

What a great getaway!
My niece and I stayed at this beautiful property for 3 nights, and we loved it! It was so clean, and all the furnishings are comfortable in this cozy cottage. Our favorite spot was on the deck of course. I cannot imagine what the view must be in the fall! The spot is quiet, and we both commented on how well we slept every night. The location is convenient to everything we wanted to see but honestly mostly we just relaxed. Loved it and cannot wait to go again!

We really enjoyed the view from the western deck. Good location to visit Desoto Caverns State Park and the town of Mentone. It's not too far from Cloudland Park in Georgia. It was too cold to sit outside on Saturday. The cabin was easy to find.

Great Place, Great View!
The rental was spotless. The beds were comfortable. The showerheads were high, which was nice for a tall person like myself. The wraparound porch was nice and it had many rocking chairs to sit and admire the view. We went to some waterfalls in the area, and it was also close to the Boy Scout camp, Camp Comer, where my son was working for the Summer, so we could visit him when we wanted. We also took a day trip to Rome, Georgia. It was a good break from the 100+ temperatures from where we're from! Check in was easy, and communication with the rental agency was great. We would stay here again.
