“Enjoyed the AirBNB and Mentone. Great place to visit.”

“We had a wonderful stay!”

“My husband and I had a great weekend stay. I love the porch and hot tub. The home was clean and organized and had everything we needed.”

“Really good communication. Nice little clean cabin.”

“Always one of the best places to stay”

“We picked this cabin because it was close to a local hiking spot I wanted to visit. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and cozy weekend getaway.”

“beautiful property! very private & such a pretty spot. not too far from anything you would need. def will be back!!!”

“We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of nice touches for a getaway as a couple. Between the hot tub, gas fire pit on the porch, electric fire place in the living room, and the fire pit with Adirondack chairs, we had tons of options for relaxing. the location was great, though make sure to get your groceries before you get to Mentone or you may suffer sticker shock at the local stores. We had a wonderful time and found that we were close enough to the adventures we wanted to have, but also in quite the private setting.”

“We had a great time! Very cozy cabin and the hot tub is a great addition.”

“We had a great time! Very cozy cabin and the hot tub is a great addition.”

“Positive: just used a door code... simple. Negative: it's not their fault, but GPS does not take you to the correct location. it takes you close tho. The host was very responsive with texts and was able to give me the coordinance and I was able to find it.”

“its always a pleasure staying with these guys”

“Thanks for having us!”

“Great place and host”

“Great place and host”

“Hot tub was a little cloudy and only half full of water, other than that it was a nice stay.”

“Great communication. Everything as described. Had an issue and it was dealt with immediately and kindly!! The shampoo, soaps, detergent, laundry — all’s the extras so you can comfortably stay there was a great bonus. Will come back for sure. ”

“Easy check in and easy to find if you use the gps coordinates given. Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The only thing I could say about the place that’s negative is that the hottub had white cloudy water that smelled like chlorine. Nevertheless it’s a great stay!!!”

“Positive: A lot for the price”

“Host was incredibly communicative and helpful, and we were very impressed with the amenities(especially the kitchen!) The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, even a full set of grilling tools were left on the grill along with a spare propane tank! We thought that was incredibly thoughtful. My wife and I had an amazing, relaxing time. We grilled, relaxed in the hottub every day and by the firepit at night. We loved exploring the quaint little town of Mentone and plan to return soon! The grill at this cabin is propane, so charcoal is unnecessary (though we were prompted to bring some for the grill). No complaints, all compliments. The checkout list is very minimal, that was a huge plus. ”

“Our stay was wonderful! My friends and I came up here for a weekend getaway to rest and relax before finals week, and the cabin helped us do just that! We’ve even talked about coming back next year to do the same thing.”

“Such a cool place and great for our family!”

“Overall great stay, location and amenities. The outdoor space was generous. Size of cabin much smaller, than what was depicted in photos. ”

“Perfect place to get away and relax. Sage is an absolute perfect host.”

“As advertised. ”

“Best tiny home around!”

“Love this little treasure in the woods!”

“Clean, convenient, and cozy. Love this place”

“Positive: The unit was clean and cozy . . Well furnished . . In a quiet little tiny home community.”

“It was such a cute little cabin and very clean. We enjoyed our stay. We found a precious tea room nearby called the Hatter Cafe (I think that’s the name) and it was SO precious! Highly recommend if you stay in this cabin to visit this tea room!”

“Positive: it was good location and we enjoyed hot tub”

“Positive: Location was great. Short drive to Brow Park for an amazing drive-up overlook and De Soto Trailhead for a short hike to a stunning view of a waterfall. Picture do not do justice to either of those views. The tiny home had enough room for everything needed. The hot tub was great. Already heated when we arrived, clean and in good working order. Lots of places to sleep to in small area. Space is very efficient. Coffee was appreciated. We were able to login to our own streaming services to watch a small amount of tv during downtime. Locks worked great and had no issues getting into the property. We felt safe and secure the entire time. Weather didn't allow us to use the outside picnic table and fire pit, but it looked great and would have probably been awesome if mother nature had been kinder to us and hadn't rained so much during our trip. Negative: Excessive amount of crumbs down in the cracks where the glass sits on the coffee table upon arrival. The only storage in the bedroom was a small cabinet and a closet. The closet was locked shut, which was very disappointing. I would have really appreciated being able to have that space to put our belongings during the stay, seeing that it is a compact, tiny house and didn't accommodate anywhere else for us to put our clothes. We ended up storing most of our clothes and bags in the Livingroom. I cannot stress enough the need for small tables to be placed in the bedroom on either side of the bed, or a small shelf at the headboard. We didn't have anywhere to put things within reach while sleeping. We slept with our phones under our pillows and my husband kept his glasses on the cabinet at the foot of the room. This doesn't sound that drastic, and one could argue that we all need to disconnect from our phones from time to time, but he can hardly see without his glasses and it was difficult for him stumbling around trying to find them during the night and early morning in an unfamiliar place while half asleep.”

“We absolutely loved our weekend getaway at this tiny home. This is my first Airbnb experience so I was a little nervous but it was completely stress-free and private. The host was super friendly and helpful, she made sure we had everything we needed despite my last minute reservation. This was a gorgeous home and very much worth the cost.”

“This was the perfect getaway! It was close to town but felt secluded and private enough for a peaceful trip. Our host was exceptional with communication. We had everything we needed. The property was just as described. I would definitely recommend!”

“My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and it was perfect!”

“Lovely home - it was just as described.”

“Everything was as described and communication was great!”

“We loved this place!! We are planning our next stay! ”

“My husband and I went on a birthday trip from him and it is exactly what we needed. Quiet and peaceful with nature around. We will be visiting again!”

“Cute little house with everything you need for a peaceful weekend in the woods!”

“Enjoyed the cabin and location.”

“Zero complaints, quiet, peaceful, not very far from things to do and very well setup”

“This was our first time staying on this property and it won’t be the last. We had everything we needed inside and outside of the tiny home and were blown away with how comfortable we were. ”

“Beautiful spacious tiny home. Did not feel tiny. The area is beautiful and was perfect for a secluded weekend away.”

“Responds to messages almost instantly. Coming in at dark will make it hard to find the 1st time but we made it ok. Not 100% private area, there is a person in front that waves hi. Place was super clean and had almost everything you would need. We did buy a muffin pan and left it for whoever needs it for the future. Super peaceful and very relaxing. Pictures honestly dont do it justice! Exactly like the pictures. We dont have any complaints at all except 1. the time changes back and forth like crazy.. Even in the Livingroom it will be one time in the house and another on your phone. 2. ThereS no cell service. I work 24/7 and that was a MUST for me. I contacted the owner and she helped me almost immediately and i was back up and good to go getting my work calls. I really do appreciate her help with that! Other than those 2 things, We had an awesome time. My girls had an amazing time walking down the street looking at the fall weather. Thank you so much and we will definitely be BACK”

“Wonderful stay, really enjoyed having a quiet beautiful spot to unwind after a busy day enjoying Mentone and Little River Canyon. Thank you! ”

“This was a stay for fall break. It was absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and private. The hot tub, fireplace and coziness of inside the home was wonderful. Sage was so quick to respond and very helpful. It’s not an if but when we stay again, we look forward to.”

“Very secluded, quiet neighborhood still under development. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a perfect get away for anyone looking to have some peace and quiet with your loved ones. The house is a true tiny home, and we loved it.”

“What a wonderful place to stay! Says it sleeps 6 which it does but 4 is better. Only let down is that there isn’t really anywhere to sit to eat meals, you could be outside but at 20F just a bit too cold.. Close to Little River Canyon and other walking trails.”

“Wanting to get away for the weekend, my friends and I started looking for anything unique and private with a a hot tub in a 2 hour radius of our home town in Georgia. This tiny house fit the search and we had a great experience! There were 3 of us but we could’ve easily had 3 more and had plenty of space. Well laid out interior space and the covered porch is what truly makes the house. We enjoyed drinking our coffee and chatting on the porch - even in August heat it was pleasant sitting outside with the fan running. Nothing but good stuff to say! Only feedback was it could use some hooks for towels. Only one bar to hang a towel on and no space to hang anywhere else since the shower bar almost touches the ceiling. We loved the C.S. Lewis quote in the living room and all the little touches. Thanks so much for a great stay! We will be back!”

“My family and I (husband and 4 children ages 4-11) had a wonderful stay at this spot last weekend. It was private and cozy, with everything in order. We had all the supplies you would expect and more to be set up for a nice stay. The hot tub was very popular! We would definitely visit again!”
