Excellent. As a person who lives in a 520 sq ft cabin, just a hint concerning the Murphy bed. You may want to consider a full size bed rather than the queen murphy. The only irritation was the bedroom door will not open nor shut without picking up the bed. This was an irritant to me because I like quiet and dark when I sleep. The door issue makes privacy in the bedroom a problem.

Hootin' good time

Quaint little cottage just steps from town. The outdoor lights and fire pit made for amazing star gazing and an early season for lightning bugs lit up the landscape..

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.
