The Escape-newly remodeled w/amazing views

This is one escape you'll never want to leave! Surrounded by 180-degree views atop Lookout Mountain, this studio-style cabin has everything you need for a relaxing, stress-free vacation while immersing yourself in nature.

As you enter, you'll notice the cozy feel of exposed wood wall and the ease of having everything at your fingertips. A full kitchen with all the amenities is a great way to enjoy meals without having to leave the solitude of your cabin escape.

The living room features a comfortable couch to enjoy movies on the flat-screen TV or simply gaze into the fireplace. The expansive outdoor deck with custom raised deck chairs is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, and evenings begs for you to soak in the hot tub while watching the colorful sunset. The views are unbelievable, like you can just reach up and touch the clouds!

A King size bed and bath with shower make this so much better than a hotel stay. Why not enjoy hiking, mountain views and a barbecue meal to complete your stay? It's just what you need to rest and rejuvenate!

This cabin is located in a rural, wooded environment. During certain times of the year, seasonal insects such as beetles and stink bugs are common in the area and may occasionally enter the cabin. These insects are harmless and are a normal part of staying in a natural setting. Preventative pest-control measures are in place; however, complete elimination is not possible in this environment.

The Escape

This was the perfect place for a nice, cozy weekend get away. Perfect size for two. The Mountain View was so beautiful and the hot tub made it twice as nice. I have already recommended to friends.

Perched on the edge

I'll always remember it. It was great! My only criticism was the restaurant of Mentone (The Wildflower Cafe) is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays... The view from the hot tub is excellent!

Spectacular Views

My husband and I plus our labradoodle had a lovely stay at The Escape at Mentone. Sunsets were spectacular from the private deck and the hot tub was a bonus. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Enjoyed visiting Mentone, Desoto Falls, Desoto State Park and playing golf at McLemore(just a 20 min drive). Perfect space for a long weekend for two.

AMAZING

We can't recommend this enough! View was amazing! Perfect for two people! Everything was as described. We felt like we were the only two people on earth with all of the peace and quiet. Didn't leave the entire stay! Only recommendation would be to add steps to the hot tub. Big girl here had herself a time getting in and out of it. lol. Can't wait to come back! Thank you and God Bless!

Always a fantastic stay

This is our 4th stay in one of Delightful Retreat's cabins. Like always, Holly goes above and beyond to make sure the cabins are top notch. She is always there to answer questions. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed. And the view is breathtaking, especially the sunsets. Never miss the sunsets!! We can't wait untill our next visit.

It was a weekend of around 50 degrees. Nice weather for a hot tub. The view was covered a lot by fog because of the rain but what we saw was beautiful.. would stay again.
