About this cottage rental
Escape to riverside tranquility at The Shire. A quant, quarried from the river stone cottage nestled on the banks of Little River. Wake up to breathtaking river views from the master bedroom and unwind in the cozy living room, complete with a stone gas log fireplace. Step outside and soak in the scenery from the screened-in deck hot tub or gather around the fire pit on the stone patio for an evening of roasting marshmallows. With a private boat dock and provided kayaks, adventure awaits right at your doorstep (don't forget your life jackets!). The fully fenced yard offers a safe haven for your furry friends, while the modern, fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances makes meal preparation a breeze. When you're ready to explore, you're just a short drive from downtown Mentone, Desoto State Park, and Cloudland State Park, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and scenic exploration.

Just wanted a quite trip to Mentone area and was happy as the house was nice and the area quite. Everything worked as it should and enjoyed the stay.

There were bugs and spiders, also not as clean as it should be. The rug in the livingroom was so dirty it should be replaced. Livingroom furniture was very uncomfortable to sit on.There were splatters on the window over the sink and food splatters on the side of the fridge.The entire place needs to be deep cleaned and trimming needs to be done along with other yard work. I realize it is in the woods and is pet friendly but it was not worth what we paid for the stay. I forgot to mention we had to wash the blanket before we could sleep under it, it had pubic hair on it, not good!!! We will not book this place again and we were celebrating my 77 birthday, there were times I just wanted to leave but we had paid for two nights so we toughed it out! Future renters beware.
