About this property

Log Inn to your vintage vacation experience.

Authentic 1950's log cabin in the town of Mentone.
Sidewalk at the front door. Walk to stores, artist's shops & restaurants. Nearby activities include golf, a ski slope, a state park, camping, hiking along rivers & waterfalls.
Private deck on the Little River a short walk away.
The cabin has 2 bedrooms, a King & a Queen/2 baths and two full size futons . Sleeps 8.
60” TV in the living room and another one in the Den.

Pet-Friendly, (an additional $35 cleaning fee is required).

The cabin has plenty of room to spread out and relax in front of the native stone, wood burning fireplace in the living room or the gas logs in the den. Need a place to cheer your sports teams or watch a movie? There is a 60” TV over the living room fireplace and another one in the Den.
We are conveniently located less than 1 mile from historic downtown Mentone. We are walking distance to 3 summer camps and steps away from artisan shops.

A leisurely 4 minute walk brings you to the private deck on the Little River. Your own swimming hole averages 4 1/2 feet deep. The deck is supported by an old stone boathouse that has a laid stone floor extending into the river. Nature has provided a bank cut perfect for launching so bring your kayak.
In less than 10 miles, you have 7 restaurants, 4 are less than a mile. Many allow "brown-bagging" and others serve adult beverages.

There is so much opportunity for outdoor fun. Swimming, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, biking, rock climbing, bird watching or just relaxing and let the birds watch you.
Downtown Mentone houses eclectic artist's and antique shops. There are more antique shops in the surrounding towns a short distance away.

Cozy stay in an autumn wonderland

We really enjoyed our stay at the Log Inn. It's very spacious with lots of room for a large family of 6 or so, and everything was very clean. The property is spacious and well-cared for and check-in/check-out was a breeze. It's very close to fantastic food, shops, and artisans. Perfect for a weekend stay while the leaves are changing!

Grandchildren Christmas Adventure

The property was great and very well stocked. Washer/dryer worked well. My only complaint was not being able to get the address earlier. We spent the day at Desoto Park with no cell service and had difficulty getting directions

Log cabin like in an old movie

A great quiet stay in a wonderful neighborhood! The ‘log inn’ looks and feels like it was taken out of an old west or settlers movie. Near many outdoor activities, wonderful local markets and restaurants but not terribly far from modern grocers and fast food if you really have to be boring. The locals are friendly and kind and the parks are great. We really enjoyed our stay!

Loved the size of the cabin, amenities, and the nearby shopping. The only con is that you're close to a very busy highway.
