Perfect place near Mentone

We loved everything about this place. Nice creek to walk down to. The pond was fun, don't expect anything big. But fun to sight fish for small bass. A lot of flowering shrubs. House was in great shape. Clean. Hot tub was nice to sit in. Mentone 10 minutes away. As close as you want to be.

Great "nest" in the woods!

The house was perfect for our vacation. It was clean and well stocked. It was really cold outside and the hot tub was amazing! We built a fire in the fire ring and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores. I didn't make it down to the creek but my son and granddaughter did and they loved it. It couldn't have been any better. We loved the location too.

Perfect getaway!!

My husband and I were looking for a quick last minute weekend getaway, and we hit the jackpot! If you are looking for somewhere that is secluded without the crowds, I highly recommend this place. As advertised, we did not have cell phone signal but the wifi worked very well for us and we were able to stay in contact with family when needed. This offered me great peace of mind because we could check in with our children often, and we were able to relax and enjoy a stress free weekend together. I hope we are able to come back again!

Best rental Ever

My wife and I have rented cabins in the mountains of North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama for years. This is best cabin we have experienced since we started "cabining ". It truly felt like home. We highly recommend these accommodations. And don't forget the fishing pole.

Birthday Trip

The property was just as listed and came w/ everything one would need to feel at home. The scenery/woods was a nice hidaway from the busy everyday life. The pond is secluded and nice for sunrises/sets and fishing. Tons of turtles 🐢 Could not have aaked for more and we thoroughly enjoyed.

Amazing Weekend

Me and my boyfriend came to Hawks Nest to celebrate my birthday and Fathers Day. The pics on the website does not do this gem any justice! The place was spotless and very well stocked. I brought so many spices, utensils, towels etc thinking we would need them and didnt need any of them. The peace and quiet we got this weekend was something we hadn't had in forever living in Atlanta. It was absolutely amazing. We made good use of the hot tub and the grill. Oh and of course we had our daily visits from Yoki the pup. If I had to say one negative thing,(Michelle still had no control over) While cooking on the grill I got ate up by mosquitoes. :) All in all it was amazing. We will definiately be back!

What a great little hideaway!

A great little place that offered a full kitchen. It was clean and nicely decorated. The outside has multiple different areas to congregate and has little touches here and there to keep your interest.

10 Year Anni Stay

Very clean property and close to pretty much all you would want. There was a dog that came every day and would sit on the porch and just hand out, not sure whose dog it was but it seemed friendly. Great water pressure for showers. A few things that I would change if I were the owner, new dishware, the non stick pans have lived their life, invest in a king size bed and some new living room furniture, and add some board games. Nothing major but those updates would really make this location a 5 star. Overall we would stay again and really enjoyed the property. Elevation is THE spot to eat. Make reservations. We swam in Little River, it was 45 degrees but so worth it. Fort Payne shopping is nice if you want a day to spend outside of the mountains and hiking.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Mancuso

My home is in Louisiana but quickly fell in love with the Mentone/Lookout Mountain region. I never tire of the beauty or the people and I hope you fall in love too.

Why they chose this property

We have traveled to Lookout Mountain for many years and decided we wanted a vacation home in this unspoiled area. It is so convenient to many other destinations and we often have intentions of using Hawk's Nest Hideaway as the headquarter for further adventures, but we end up falling in love with what the area has to offer in views and outings so we stay and never venture any further than a days drive away. Any time of year, any season we have never been disappointed.

What makes this property unique

This area is unique in that there is a little known fact that Little River Canyon is the deepest river canyon besides the Grand Canyon the USA and the river flows entirely on the top of the mountain. This area is so pristine, clean, uncluttered and unique. You will truly fall in love and want to return many many times. I welcome you and your family to my home.
