Property Description
Oakleaf Hideaway is a recently renovated cottage nestled in the trees on 20 private acres atop of Lookout Mountain. Featuring private walking trails, waterfalls and 2,000 feet of frontage on Straight Creek, the cottage is your perfect getaway to unwind and recharge. Located just 1.5 miles from the Visitor's Center at Desoto State Park, the cottage is close to everything including Mentone, Little River Canyon, and Ft. Payne.
Master Suite:
Enjoy the serenity of the woods and golden sunsets from the comfort of the luxurious King bed featuring 600 thread-count linens. French doors lead to the large back deck with a fire-pit.
The master also features a sitting area with an antique settee from France, a master closet, chest, and a master bath with a full-sized washer and dryer.
Guest Bedroom:
The guest bedroom has two twin beds that can be pushed together for couples. This bright and airy room has beautiful views of the forest and features luxurious linens, drapery and a mural framed with aged local barn wood.
Kitchen:
The well-appointed chef's kitchen features warm butcher block countertops, a large rustic island, new black-stainless appliances with gas stove, and several details built from wood from a nearby 1800's barn. Rough-sawn open shelving from a nearby family farm sets off the beautiful and artistic decor.
Living Room / Dining Room:
The open concept living room exudes coziness and warmth. Hand-scraped oak hardwood floors, wood accent walls, and the limewashed fireplace and wood-burning stove will make even the coldest days delightful. A 40-inch 4k smart television has Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV apps. Just bring your favorite TV provider login and enjoy a movie night. While we think the best days are the days spent outside, we do have fast WiFi and LTE/4G coverage. The living room also features a pull-out sofa bed with a comfortable new memory foam mattress.
The dining room has seating for six (we've squeezed 9 around the table), and we provide china and service for six as well.
The front door is equipped with a digital lock, and we'll provide you a code prior to your arrival.About pets:Pets allowed: dogs and cats (limit 2 total).Up to two pets will be considered. $75 per pet fee.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:No events allowed.

Little River Cabin
This was great location, right between the Desoto Park and Little River Canyon. If you're looking for private charming cabin that's in the middle of everything in the area, this is the place. We will be staying here again.

What a Dream!
Looking for a peaceful stay? This is it! We had a relaxing weekend with our pup and can’t wait to book again. The weather was perfect and reading on the sleeper porch all day was heavenly. Mentone is close by, and the amazing waterfalls and parks made the weekend perfect. We also had great communication with the hosts, who were super friendly and communicative. 10/10!

Wonderful stay
We had a great time. It’s very convenient to the state park and a great place for runs. The house had some great touches and the screen porch was great for reading and relaxing.
The host communicated every step of the way and was very helpful when we left a couple of things behind. The dogs loved it too.

Nature Abounds
If you’re seeking serenity and the comforts of a well-appointed home, look no further. This gorgeous home is situated on 20 private acres, which boasts a waterfall and creek on the property. Outdoor seating abounds on this property, as you will find benches, chairs around a fire ring, a picnic table, porch swing, and even a cozy daybed on the screened in porch. All of which are perfect for resting and taking in nature. The interior of the home is perfection! Antiques, including beautiful sets of china, are tastefully sprinkled throughout the home. Reclaimed wood accents add a special touch to the decor & bring nature into the home. Books, games, a piano, ukulele, & guitar are available, too. Lighting in the home creates a peaceful ambiance any time of day. Housekeeping does a fantastic job ensuring the home is clean and prepared for guests. Bed linens are soft 100% cotton and the mattresses are comfortable. The kitchen is stocked well, having pretty much anything you need. Fresh flowers were placed in various spots in the house & a welcome message was written on the chalkboard door in the kitchen. David & Lilly have created an oasis you will not want to leave!
