One Oar Missing on Little River w/double fireplaces

We took a weekend to get away for an anniversary. The stay at One Oar Missing was terrific and very relaxing. While we did take a little time to stroll through some of the little shops in Mentone, we spent most of the time relaxing in the sunroom or down by the water on the floating dock. The area is quiet and allows you to disconnect and just enjoy nature for a while! We will definitely be returning in the future.

Nice, large house with great room and extra-large screened in porch. There is a boardwalk down to the water where there is a nice dock. We spent a lot of time on the dock and on the screened in porch. We also cooked out and ate outside. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous time! Fished off the dock, kayaked, cooked lots of food in the roomy kitchen. Watched some football. Wonderful place!

Great location on the widest part of the river. Kids enjoyed kayaking and caught bluegill and bass right from the dock. Would definitely return!

Had a nice stay. The umbrella was broken on the dock probably needs replaced. But we did enjoy our stay it was quiet and clean. Was well stocked. Only thing missing is a hot tub! The screen porch was very nice.

Great use of space in this home. Marvelous kitchen, great for food prepping. Fishing was good. Dream screened porch with fireplace. Could use some decor updating, and more televisions.

The cabin, you walk through the front door to an open and inviting kitchen/ living space. A beautiful floor to ceiling stone wood burning fireplace draws your attention. It is just begging for you to build a quaint fire and sit on the relaxing sofa sipping your favorite drink. Then you walk outside to an amazing screened in back porch that is pretty much a reflection of the living space with its own stone fireplace and lakeside views. There are also two open decks to sit and enjoy the lake view. There is a kettle charcoal grill for you to grill up some burgers or steaks. When you get tired from a long day on the water or hiking in the state parks, there is plenty of room for you and your family or friends to get cleaned up in the two bathrooms and then relax in the three bed rooms. We brought our kayaks with the plan to spend a fair amount of time on the water, and to my surprise they had two kayaks available for use on the lake. We spent two days on the water and explored Lake Lahusage as far as we could in kayaks. There are many activities and shops nearby to keep your attention as well. But I will say if you are looking for a peaceful time, the water is the place to be. In the two days we were on the water, we only had a few encounters with other boats. It was pretty close to having an entire lake to ourselves. Put your phones away, cell service isn’t great(but there is WiFi) and enjoy the outdoors and the peacefulness of it all. One Oar Missing is on our return visit list.

The fireplaces were spectacular! We enjoyed fires both indoor and outdoor during our stay. The cabin was very spacious with plenty of room. The location was great, giving us ample opportunity to explore the nature around us as well as visit nearby towns. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at One Oar Missing! We loved hanging out on the screened porch, it seemed like being in a large treehouse with all of the trees outside the windows and the relaxing sounds of nature. The dock was a favorite for us in the late afternoons, we enjoyed fishing and the peaceful views. The kayaks were a fun addition to our trip and provided entertainment and exercise. We absolutely loved our stay and enjoyed being able to have our dogs with us on our trip. We’d love to stay at the One Oar Missing again in the future!

My family absolutely loved One Oar Missing! The layout is awesome and allows for adults to have their private space rather than a loft area. We were pleasantly surprised to see the stack of firewood available to use. The two fireplaces were quiet impressive and the outdoor living area was the perfect place to enjoy the fall breeze and beautiful views. This cabin had a fully stocked kitchen which included items we didn't think we would need (like the crockpot and hand mixer). There is plenty of seating indoors and out! We do hope to spend more family time here in the future!

Clean, comfy, peaceful, and scenic. We had a perfect weekend enjoying the porch, dock, and kayaks.

Loved the house. It was probably the cleanest house I have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the huge porch with the fireplace and sitting on the dock by the lake. There are houses close by, but we were fortunate that for the most part we had the lake to ourselves. The house was exactly as advertised. We didn't make use of the kayaks because the snake my wife saw under the dock. Still we would definitely stay at the house and would book with Delightful Retreats again.

We found One Oar Missing to be quite comfortable and perfect for a microvacation for this couple and a long-time friend. As titled, One Oar is exactly as described and pictured - very comfortable and clean. Enjoyed the screened in porch to just relax, read and visit; the porch and indoor furniture were clean and comfortable. The split plan with master King on one side and two Queens with jack-jill bath gave plenty of privacy for us. The kitchen was well-equipped but do read the provided 'suggest you bring' info as there is only a convenience store nearby. While the breakfast bar was fine for meals, we would suggest a four-top table as the stools are not comfortable for everyone. Plus, there's not really a good place to play cards/dice games, etc. Easy direct rental process and communications leading up to and through our stay were very good.

Clean and very well supplied with everything needed for a quiet weekend stay. While I realized the house did not have a dining table, I thought the large bar area would work for us. We did not find the bar suitable for sitting to eat or playing games.

Loved this cabin! Plenty of room for everyone! The screened in porch/sunroom was so nice and we spent a lot of time there! Kayaks were fun. A bit too chilly for swimming due to unseasonably cooler weather. Great for sitting on the dock with our feet in the water! Cabin was very clean and well supplied. Beds and pillows very comfortable!

My family of 4 very much enjoy this property. Exactly as advertised. Very clean which we loved. The cabin is big, with enough space to enjoy a good book, the fireplaces and just a quiet vacation. Somehow close to local adventures and the river was beautiful. Thank You! We will come back!

We had a wonderful stay at One Oar Missing. Incredibly clean place, as they always are with Delightful Retreats. Enjoyed fantastic fires, and the river ambiance! Really great time. The place is very well furnished, including comfortable beds. We always enjoy Historic Mentone! Holly took great care of us and as always was extremely responsive! This is definitely a house that we'd like to visit again!

The house was very peaceful and quiet. The place was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The screened-in porch was very welcoming. We did take the kayaks out and was surprised that the lake didn't have much water traffic on it, which was very good for the beginners in our group.

We had a nice time at One Oar Missing. The cabin was clean and stocked nicely. The beds were very comfortable as was the cabin. It was a nice weekend retreat.

We enjoyed our stay at One Oar Missing. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We sat out on the screened porch every night and visited. We cooked two meals in the kitchen and ate out one night at The Wildflower Cafe. Beds were comfortable, but the king bed in the master is really tall - about chest height on me, and I wished for a step stool. But I managed. Our only disappointment was that the water levels were so low due to the drought conditions this summer that we couldn't really enjoy the dock or swimming because it was so muddy and yucky. We did visit Little River Canyon and DeSoto Falls, both of which were just a trickle, but still lots of fun.

The property was spacious, and very comfortable The family had a great time

The house could not have been better for my family. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed making our meals in it. The rooms were more than adequate for us, allowing for everyone to have space. The recliner couch in the den is outstanding! The back decks were great and the pier was enjoyed by all. The house could not have been more welcoming. Holly was a first rate host throughout. We do hope to visit One Oar Missing again.

This was my wife & I’s 2nd year in a row staying at this cabin for our anniversary. With it being only 30 minutes away, it’s the ideal place for us to fish and be on the water with our doggo. Kayaks and paddles were easily accessible and the screened in back porch was nice to enjoy the outside while it rained. Also, huge thanks to the host for making our trip experience extra special by accommodating me with a bottle of champagne & a dozen roses for my wife! DirectTV was fine for us, we brought Ipads and were able to use the wifi to stream netflix & youtube (blurry, but still watchable) Overall, amazing cabin. Will be returning!

We're so happy we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving at One Oar Missing. The views and the cabin itself were phenomenal. The sunroom, although cold, still provided a wonderful experience with the large wood-burning fireplace. I loved the decorations and small touches that added to the aesthetic and experience. The weather was too cold to spend time in the water, but we took advantage of the National parks and hiking trails at Little River Canyon Preserve and Desoto Falls. Mentone has captured our hearts, and we've already started planning future visits. We hope to one day own a home here. Until that day arrives, we will continue to stay in the homes managed by Delightful Retreats.

We absolutely loved the area, plenty of things to do and see. The home was really conveniently located to everything. Beds were very comfy, great water pressure, we were able to catch a few fish, even though the water was low. We enjoyed the house, but could use an additional television. The yellow heart pine in the main living area was beautiful. Massive fire places. We would definitely recommend this property.

Had everything we needed for cooking. Great view. Very relaxing and quiet. Enjoyed a meal at the hatter cafe. Very responsive host.

My family of 4 spent the recent holiday weekend at this DELIGHTFUL waterfront home. We very much enjoyed the tranquility of the water just steps away, and the coziness of the TWO wood burning fireplaces. A short drive to The Brow, popular dining venues, and shopping, you can also enjoy nearby Desoto Falls. Great communication with the owner, who thoughtfully provided amenities to help us feel at home. Want to go back!

It was easy and secure

We had a wonderful time around the fire spending time with each other. The area was peaceful and a great retreat. Lots of space and amenities! This is a great cabin for family and dogs! The host was friendly and helpful! The coffee is always the best touch! Thank you for having us!!
