Very Relaxing quiet Clean

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.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful cabin

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!

Hidden gem!

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.

One Oar Missing - beautiful five star stay

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!

A Most Enjoyable Stay

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.

Perfect setting

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!

Thanksgiving Holiday at One Oar Missing

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.

Lovely time in Mentone

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.

Most relaxing get-away in years!

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.

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.

Lake getaway

One Oar Missing was the perfect place on the lake! I had friends and family come up to visit and stay at the cabin. I did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed, even the correct measuring cups. The porch was a true bonus!
