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. Guest room: Queen Murphy bed & drop down desk makes the space perfect for an office. Plenty of storage in the expertly equipped kitchen w/ gas range. Main room consists of a queen bed w/ soaking tub, living room with gas fireplace, 55" TV, kitchen & dining. Comfortable deck with rocker, hightop dining table for 2. Firepit comes with a supply of wood and starter log.
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.
Brow Park is a .7 mile walk.
DeSoto Falls is 3.1 miles or less than a 10-minute drive.
DeSoto State Park is 8.6 miles or 15-20 minutes' drive.
Little River Canyon Center is an 18-mile or 27-minute drive.
You may see turkey, deer, groundhogs, or even a bear walking through the woods.

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.

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.

Mentone get-a-way
The property was great! The only negative was it advertises that it's walking distance to the down town. The road you have to walk on has no walk path or sidewalk. It felt a little dangerous.

Excellent and Cozy Place
Wonderful place to stay, about 15 minutes from Fort Payne. Owner was very responsive and even left some pamphlets of things to do and places to go in the area. Would definitely stay again if given the opportunity!

Perfect location and beautifully decorated
We were a little hesitant to book because there are other places fairly close together. But, they thought of everything and arranged it so that it is still private enough you can sit by the fire pit in your PJs. We had a wonderful time at this super cute place.

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.

Pics don’t do it justice
The cabin was super clean and absolutely adorable. The woodwork throughout the cabin was impressive, and the pictures do not do this place justice. Great ambient lighting. Lovely porch and sitting area outside with hammock and fire pit. Super peaceful. Great location 2 mins from center of town. Can’t wait to come back when it’s warmer outside.
