About this property

Chestnut Cabin-historic home with modern style

Chestnut Cabin is a 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom newly restored cabin, originally built in 1910 and tucked into the Rhododendron, wisteria and hydrangea at the end of a quiet street but only steps from downtown Mentone.

Constructed of the original Chestnut wood from 1910, and the original native stone in a contemporary rustic style, the professionally decorated cabin is both architecturally stunning and homey, with a warm, welcoming ambiance that will make you feel instantly at ease. On the main level, the living area features a large wood burning fireplace constructed with native stone. The 50” ultra-high definition TV is equipped with Apple TV, soundbar and wifi for streaming your favorite apps.
Adjacent the living room, the open kitchen is a cook's dream, with solid wood cabinets, stone countertops, stainless appliances including range, refrigerator, an ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, drip coffeemaker, toaster and all cookware and serving pieces you need. There's room for six at the dining table plus three at the breakfast bar. Or you can fire up the charcoal grill and dine outside as you take in the view from the wrap around screened porch with fans and comfy seating or from the stone patio, enjoying the peace and quiet of Mentone. You'll also find plenty of seating areas, and a fire pit to gather around.

For indoor fun, head to the living room for cards and board games! Or head on outdoors for a game of cornhole or stories, memories and s’mores around the firepit!

At bedtime, you'll slumber in comfort in one of three bedrooms, all on one level. The main bedroom features a king bed, luxurious bedding, decorative fireplace, AppleTV, large floor to ceiling windows, patio access, and en-suite bath featuring a large walk-in shower. The second bedroom features a Queen bed, luxurious bedding, decorative fireplace, smart TV, and en-suite bath with claw foot tub. The third bedroom features two full size beds with luxurious bedding.

Among the other notable features and amenities at Chestnut Cabin are WiFi, a laundry room, half bath, and ceiling fans throughout.

Weekend girl’s trip!

We loved our stay at the Chestnut cabin! It was conveniently located to the main road with Wildflower Cafe and Mentone Market but it felt private and secluded on a dead end street. The cabin was clean and fit the 6 of us perfectly. I would absolutely stay here again!

Charming, Peaceful, and Perfectly Located

We came to Mentone for a girls’ weekend to celebrate our mom’s 75th birthday, and Chestnut Cabin couldn’t have been a more special place for us to spend it. It gave us such a cozy, peaceful place to slow down, laugh, and enjoy being together. We absolutely loved the cabin’s rustic character, especially the warm, natural woodwork and beautiful wood ceilings throughout. The rich wood gives the entire cabin such a cozy, authentic feel, and you can even smell the history in the old wood and wood-burning fireplace. At the same time, the renovations and modern updates are beautifully done and make the cabin very comfortable without taking away from its original charm. The location was wonderful and so convenient to everything in Mentone. We walked to the Saturday Farmers Market, St. Joseph Church’s Sacred Garden, and even Mentone Market. When you want those beautiful mountain views, Bluff Park is just minutes away, so you can enjoy the views and then come back to the cabin for peace and serenity. It really felt like the best of both worlds: close to everything, but still quiet and relaxing. We especially LOVED the screened porch, the beautiful stone fireplace, and the big kitchen table. The table was perfect for gathering together, eating, playing games, and enjoying our time together. Chestnut Cabin helped make our mom’s birthday weekend one we’ll always remember, and we would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful property! The artwork and furnishings were amazing, the wrap around porch was a joy, and the whole experience at the cabin was wonderful. If I could’ve given it ten stars I would’ve!!

Excellent accommodations, well-appointed amenities, convent location, family enjoyed every feature of the Historic Chestnut Cabin.

The Historic Chestnut Cabin proved to be a wonderful property, offering a relaxing family atmosphere. The convenance of the cabin’s location was a plus allowing quick excursions to Mentone’s many amenities. My family enjoyed cooking kabobs on the outdoor charcoal grill, utilizing the outdoor fire pit for roasting hot dogs and making smores as we told stories late into the night. We had a blast!

We rented the cabin for a small group church retreat. We found it to be clean and well-supplied with what we needed. The kids loved the outdoor games that were available on the porch. We would stay there again!
