The Shire-riverside w/hot tub, fire pit, kayaks & fenced yard
Escape to riverside tranquility at The Shire. A quant, quarried from the river stone cottage nestled on the banks of Little River. Wake up to breathtaking river views from the master bedroom and unwind in the cozy living room, complete with a stone gas log fireplace. Step outside and soak in the scenery from the screened-in deck hot tub or gather around the fire pit on the stone patio for an evening of roasting marshmallows. With a private boat dock and provided kayaks, adventure awaits right at your doorstep (don't forget your life jackets!). The fully fenced yard offers a safe haven for your furry friends, while the modern, fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances makes meal preparation a breeze. When you're ready to explore, you're just a short drive from downtown Mentone, Desoto State Park, and Cloudland State Park, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and scenic exploration.
We absolutely loved our stay at The Shire! The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. We loved the direct water access and we kayaked for hours. The house had everything we needed. We will certainly come back again.
The Shire was the perfect stay for a few getaway days. Home was cozy, clean and all we needed. The Little River Canyon falls trail was an amazing adventure. We visited three different antique stores and a variety of specialty shops on one of our rainy days. My husband and I highly recommend visiting this area, lots of scenic views and historic sites. Book your accommodations at The Shire, itâs definitely a win winđ
This weekend was rainy but we were able to experience so many things. The metal roof made the rain so much more enjoyable. The Shire was amazing and our pup enjoyed the fenced in yard. There were so many details tha made it feel like your own. We will be back for sure!
We rented this cabin for this first time in March and could not wait to come back. We took the advantage of an opening Memorial Day weekend. Once again, the cabin and amenities did not disappoint!! We love the fenced in yard for out dog. He loves it as well. He loves to swim in the creek and chase sticks. It is in a quiet place with little to no traffic. The hot tub is awesome after a long hike. We plan to come back one weekend during the fall.
The Shire is a phenomenal property. We created some precious memories during our stay. It's quiet, gorgeous, dog friendly, and comfortable. I hope we can visit again someday!
We enjoyed this riverfront cabin, and the fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. The property manager was also easy to deal with, and helped us facilitate a late-notice date change with no fuss.Only good things to say! We plan on returning in the future.
Exactly what we were looking for! The Shire was perfect spot for our quick family get away. Close to everything but entertainment right on site. Kayaking the river - finding the old dam/waterfall, saw wildlife (deer, geese), fishing, ending the day in the hot tub then dinner around the fire. Holly was great help with ideas for entertaining a 14 yr old and things to do. Highly recommend!
Really nice older cabin on the river, great fenced-in yard for our dog! This place is close to DeSoto State Park and Cloudland State Park -- great area for hiking.....
I stayed at this property for a birthday getaway. It was very clean and charming. My family loved the little river out back and we had a great time taking it easy.
Most laid back vacation we have ever taken. So cozy and felt like home!! We loved the river and the fenced in yard for our dogs. We will definitely be returning sometime in the future!!
My husband and I stayed two nights with our new rescue dog and we all had a great time. The house was clean and cozy. Beds were comfortable, shower had good pressure and lots of hot water. The Shire is in an easy location to get in and out, but private enough that you feel secluded. The fenced in yard was the biggest part for us. We could let our dog outside to play knowing she was safe and couldnât get lost. Lots of amenities like washer/dryer, hot tub, fire pit and kayaks for your use.
Really enjoyed our time at the Shire! The area was excellent for unwinding, kayaking, hiking and just getting away and enjoying nature! Thanks so much for sharing the Shire with us!
Quaint and cozy, The Shire was everything we had hoped for and then some! Very clean with all the amenities one would need. From beginning to end everything was perfect and we cannot wait to come back!
We really enjoyed our stay! Even though there was a burn ban and a drought, we relaxed in the hot tub, hiked in Desoto Park, visited arts & crafts events, went antique shopping, and ate local. The fenced in yard was a plus for our dogs. A perfect getaway to celebrate our 27 year anniversary.
