1 Bedroom Cottage in Mentone

Welcome to the McVicar Cottage! Charming and historic, this quaint cottage nestled in the woods and among the boulders offers a romantic retreat and a place of profound peace and respite. In the early 1930’s, Alyce MacVicar’s brother built this stacked stone one bedroom just in time for her to open one of the first girls camps on Lookout Mountain, making this one of the oldest cabins in Mentone. The interior and exterior were completely restored in 2022, but the original character and stone walls remain as well as another small cottage (that you see in the background). *It is only used as storage & is not another rental.*
built atop a massive boulder, this gives the cottage a unique experience of stepping into a fairytale The restored interior provides all the luxuries of the modern world, complete with a fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, television, wifi, and washer/dryer.
this space entices you back to nature, with warm and inviting outdoor spaces that allow you to rest in comfort underneath a rich canopy of old growth trees In the spring and fall, the rains bring a stream to life next to the back deck. Magical ghost fireflies light up the forest floor in springtime and summer and a rich tapestry of color in the fall create a unique year round experience from your porch. It’s an easy hike along the river to reach the Desoto State Park trail system. Your stay will replenish and restore the soul and leave you with the feeling of being graced by the love of nature..

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay for Christmas at the McVicar Cottage, we stayed for Thanksgiving and knew we wanted to come back! The cabin is so cozy and we love how it is tucked up on the side of the mountain. So quiet and peaceful. We had the best time just relaxing, roasting marshmellows, hanging out on the deck, watching movies next to the wood burning stove inside. Love all the windows in the cabin, really brings the outside in when it is cold. We had a very rainy day and it was great as it brought the steam and small waterfalls to life alongside the cabin, It was truly a magical stay again.
