Comfortably Chic Loft-Style, Pet Friendly, Mentone's Favorite Couple's Retreat

Opened Oct 2022 to rave reviews. High end style, comfort, woods view plus walking distance to Mentone's shops & restaurants. Unique open floor plan, firepit, outdoor shower, soaking tub, gas fireplace!
Perfect for couples, especially honeymooners or celebrating anniversaries, birthdays! Created with remote workers in mind.

This cabin is 1 of 3 rental cabins on our property of 12 acres. You will feel like you are in the middle of the woods YET you are only a couple of "blocks" away from Mentone's Log Cabin Village, The Wildflower Cafe (.3 miles) , Elevation Bistro (.4 miles) & Mentone Market (.4 miles) .
Even the most discerning travelers are in awe of this space. Most call it MAGICAL. Winking Owl is unlike any other Lookout Mountain experience.
On Saturdays, you can walk to Mentone's Farmer Market, next to the Mentone Inn (.2 mile walk) & have lunch @ Fontastic Food Truck (slow cooking, worth the wait!). Friday's Farmers Market is a longer walk or drive to Little River Hardware.

Unique Cabin

Very pretty cabin with all the amenities. Very peaceful getaway. Cabin actually felt larger than it was with a great layout. Owner was great with communication. Only negative was some kind of permanent stain in tub, but there was 2 separate showers to use. Kitchen has all the amenities. Cabin was very clean.

Close and Far Away

Wonderful little cabin that feels far off but is a 5 minute walk to downtown and the farmers market. Clean and cozy. Lots of natural light, but stayed dark enough for us to sleep in. We will definitely stay again.

The Perfect Place

This place was like a little home away from home. It was so clean and tidy and decorated so craftily. It was quiet and private. The host was easy to contact and very generous with the amenities. We didn't long for a thing while we were there. The town is minutes within walking distance and the shops and cafes are wonderful! The Winking Owl is a magical place where time stands still. We'll definitely return on our next vacation.

Great place for a quick getaway!

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend. We didn’t arrive until after dark and the house was brightly lit for our arrival. The motion censored lights outside were a plus as it’s very dark. Cabin itself was clean, decorated well, and has new appliances. Convenient to all the things in Mentone. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Big Hoot for the Winking Owl!

Can't say enough good things about the Winking Owl! Charming cabin with great attention to detail. Excellent location--8 minute drive to DeSoto Falls for hiking, about 5 minutes to downtown Mentone, and the Murphy bed is so cool!! If you're on the fence, jump on down to the Owl's side. You won't be disappointed!

Charming and cozy weekend stay

This cabin is newly built with love! The personal touches everywhere really made it feel like home. The kitchen was spacious and perfect for cooking up all the fresh meat and goodies we purchased at the farmers market. Fire wood was provided so make sure to bring your s’more ingredients! We also brought our dogs and they had a great time exploring the woods surrounding the cabins. Overall it was a charming stay in Mentone and we can’t wait to come back.
