About this property
20 ACRES of Tranquillity Next to Desoto State Park
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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by David Oakley
My wife Lilly and I love traveling, experiencing different cultures, and enjoying the natural wonders of this planet.
Lilly is a nurse and has a passion for plant-based nutrition, and I work in technology and love making music and spending time outdoors.
We live in Orlando, Florida and fell in love with the small town of Mentone, AL where we host guests at our cottage.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the land before we fell in love with the house. We wanted some elbow-room and we're set on finding some land with extraordinary natural features. Once we walked by the small waterfall and down to the creek, we were sold. The house needed some love, and after about a year living in the home making it our own, we want to share it with you.
What makes this property unique
Without question, the land is special and we think you'll agree. We still love to get out and explore the property. We cut a couple of thousand feet of trail to make it easier to navigate, but we like to go off trail and find new spots. There is a 12' waterfall behind the cottage that flows down the mountain into a creek in the holler.
