There is a cabin (High Point Cottage) in the woods that is also rentable which is located separately from the main house (High Point Retreat). The home is centrally located within minutes of all your outdoor excursions and sightseeing.

There is also a second kitchen in the attached in-law living-quarters. Washer/dryer are available to you if your adventures include some muddy encounters.

Two master suites on the main floor for easy access with a third bedroom located off that main level. The main living area of the home has several incredible gathering areas for large families including a large kitchen, den, and a family/recreational room. You have big windows throughout the home to enjoy the views and sunshine. Sit on the deck to enjoy the fresh mountain air and breeze, start a fire in the outdoor fire-pit, or grill for your whole gathering with the propane grill provided. For year-round enjoyment and a luxurious getaway, you can’t get much better than this, you won’t be disappointed!

Great restaurants just 2 minutes to downtown Mentone include Wildflower Cafe, Mentone Market, The Hatter, and many more!

Quality Time with Family

This home was a great option for us and our friends to enjoy a few days in Mentone. With so many options for bedrooms and separate common areas, each family group had places to gather and relax separately and as an entire group. We made good use of the fire pit, enjoyed our walk to Brow Park to soak in the views, and had a memorable and relaxing stay. There were a few maintenance issues that I will share directly with the host so that they can be aware and the issues can be addressed. Would return for another stay in the future.

Sorority Sisters Reunion

My group of friends from college travel together twice a year. This was our first time to stay in Mentone. There were 11 of us this trip and this house was perfect. So nicely decorated. Two kitchens, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Two large porches and a wonderful fire pit! Our hostess was easy to access and quickly responded to our questions. I would highly recommend this house.

We’re a group of friends that get together twice a year and this was our Fall trip. The house has lots of space to spread out! Love the open floor plan with the living room and dining table and kitchen all one big room. The bedrooms are laid out so there’s privacy which is nice! Outdoor area is nice too!

Family & Friends Retreat

Without a doubt the positives far outweigh the negative. We came with a party of 16 & the home was beyond spacious. It provides 3 spaces for entertainment & was well stock with complimentary toiletries. The price for the quality could not be beat & the communication was spot on and timely. I think it's important to have realistic expectations as rentals have normal wear and tear. This property being no different. We ran into two problems both were addressed immediately. The air conditioning froze and there was active wood roach activity. Please keep in mind the house is made of wood and is in the woods. While the nooks and crannies werent immaculate the house in general was clean. For that reason only I gave it 4 stars.

Nice, but needs a little attention

Our family of 9 adults and four children stayed here for a family reunion. The house is large with lots of space for everyone to be together and also have space to themselves. The in-law suite was especially nice for the family with three small children. There was a pack-n-play, which was wonderful! There were a few things that took away from a perfect stay: The king bed behind the kitchen has horribly squeaky springs under the mattress. We couldn't move without making noise. One of the washcloths in that bathroom was dirty. At first, I thought it was a rust stain, but then the "stain" disappeared after use. We killed a roach near the kitchen, so pest control should probably be asked to stop in. The light above the stove doesn't work - probably just needs a new bulb. We ran out of trash bags on the last day and foil, as well. We used the fire pit and enjoyed it, but two of the chairs around it were broken and another broke when one of us sat in it, damaging a phone screen in the process. And lastly, there was no shower rod or curtain in the in-law suite. The family that stayed in there wasn't comfortable with the open shower opposite a window to the courtyard (though there was a curtain on it), so they bought their own shower rod and curtain for the stay. All in all, we enjoyed the stay, but it would have been stellar if those details hadn't detracted from it.

Lovely "Get Away" roomy home

We stayed here with our kids and grands. The place was roomy with loads of bedrooms, baths and sitting areas. We brought extra chairs but there were plenty. The kitchen area was nice...the burners on the gas stove were a little wild with poofs of fire when started but regulated without too much trouble. Great place to walk, the Brow Park is just down the road for lovely views. We loved the fire pit and had photos taken outside around the yard...the grands sat on the big grizzly bear statue in the side yard! Thank you for letting us stay there.

Perfect Family Get-Away

The property is large and roomy. There are plenty of gathering spaces to spread out in. We had a couple of issues, but they did not interfere in our fun and could not be helped. Luckily, because it’s so large, there’s a “backup” for everything!

Great place for a family get-together!

My family and I spent Thanksgiving week here and it was wonderful! The pictures online actually make it look smaller than it is. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of space. We had 14 adults (6 couples and 2 single brothers in their 20s) and 5 children (aged 2-6). We filled the place, but had enough room for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces of the house as well. We spent a day in Chattanooga, and occasionally ventured out for a park, disc golf, groceries, etc. Mostly we just enjoyed time together in the house. One suggestion would be to bring a folding table, if possible. There's only one table in the house (and a small one we used as a kids table) and it wasn't big enough to fit all of us. Plus, we like to play games and do puzzles, and there wasn't room for that here. Further breakdown of the bedrooms if you're interested: On the first floor, there are 3 BRs. One with a full-size bed and a private bathroom, one is a large primary bedroom right in the middle of the house with a king and private bathroom, and then there's a large suite with its own wing of the house. Up one staircase, there are 4 BRs. 3 have full beds and 1 has a king. Those 4 bedrooms share 2 bathrooms. Up another staircase was what we called the "cousins room". This is a long room with 1 full-size bed and 4 twins. There are French doors in the middle that you can close to make it more like 2 rooms.

Family vacation

This was our second stay in this home. It works well for a large group ( we had 13). The children played in the driveway and we roasted marshmallows at the fire pit. We cooked several meals and ate around the large table. Found the gas stove a little scary as the burners flare up when lit and then burn with an orange flame that leaves soot on the cookware. But it was the same last year so we knew what to expect. The home is clean and the beds comfortable and there’s plenty of room to spread out. Close by one can find kayaking, horseback riding, and hiking. Or you can take a day trip to see caves, shop for antiques or visit Chattanooga.
