About this property

Squirrel's Nest

Squirrel’s Nest is the kind of cabin that makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper. With its rustic wood walls, dark-stained ceilings, and soft natural light, this space feels both warm and inviting — the perfect backdrop for a restful getaway. Step onto the front porch, listen to the rustle of the woods, and let the world fade away.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious living area with leather seating and a fully equipped kitchen where you can cook together after a day of exploring. The bedroom features a comfortable bed dressed in soft flannel-style linens, while the modern bathroom and in-cabin washer and dryer make extended stays simple. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit outside or slip into the private hot tub and enjoy the peace of the forest at night.

Located just 2.6 miles from DeSoto State Park and a short drive to Little River Canyon and Mentone, Squirrel’s Nest is close to the area’s best trails, waterfalls, and local dining, but still feels like a world apart.

Everything was great but the bed.. let’s be honest the reason for a getaway in a cabin is to finally get some rest and relaxation and we just could not achieve that in the bed set up here at this cabin. Felt like it was going to fall apart and the mattress was very uncomfortable. This is our 4th stay in other cabins you have there and they were great! We were hoping for the same experience. Please do something to up hold the standard of your surrounding cabins. Thank you!
