Bleistift mich in der Hütte Forget-Me-Knoten in. . .

My wife and I are both retired and we were looking to find a quite place to visit where the lifestyle is slow and easy. Bobbie and Ray Zakary's mountain cabin Forget-Me-Not caught our eye as we surfed the net. No cable TV and no Internet was not necessarily what we wanted, but it turned out to be exactly what we needed. We were both drawn to the quaint charm of this unique cabin and the beautiful landscape that surrounds it. The price was more than reasonable and the trip to Mentone was doable from our home in less than three hours. We booked our stay, and could hardly wait to begin our time together.

We arrived on the property toward the end of the month in October shortly after dark, a bit tired, but anxious to unpack, get some rest, and start exploring the pond, pastures, and woodlands first thing in the morning. Bobbie met us upon arrival, and helped us unpack our considerable belongings. THANK YOU Bobbie.

Next day, Charlie, the resident guide dog, lead us out on our first exploration trip and safely brought us back. (Incidentally, Charlie was very patient with our aging selves and was more than willing to slow her pace to match ours. WHAT A DOG! This little cabin and ALL of the surrounding property quickly turned this year's vacation from a git-a-way to, hands-down, the most relaxing vacation we have ever experienced. We enjoyed perfect weather, perfect rest, and spent two of our evenings around a roaring campfire, one with an old childhood friend and his wife, along with our invited guests Ray and Bobbie; hosts extraordinaire...!

All in all, this vacation has been the best FORGET-ME-NOT vacation we have had in decades. Thanks for having us! We enjoyed our vacation immensely. Loved your wonderful company and hospitality. May God richly bless you and bring all of your dreams to fruition...! Howard and Joan

Beautiful area and the cabin was perfect for the trip.

Everything was great. Stayed for our anniversary and didn’t have to talk with anybody else. We felt very secluded and alone, which is what we were going for.

This return trip to Mentone was a much needed break before getting back to school. The location is secluded and very private, but close enough to unique restaurants, sights, and shopping, to give you the best of both worlds.

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay in this lovely little cottage to celebrate our anniversary. It is tastefully decorated and very cozy. There is no cable/satellite or WiFi available, but we enjoyed simply cuddling on the couch watching movies, playing card games, reading, and doing puzzles. It was nice to “unplug” for a few days. The cottage is about a 10 minute drive from the “heart” of Mentone, where we enjoyed dinner at the Wildflower Cafe (LOVE their tomato pie!) and lunch at the Green Leaf Grill (delicious bacon cheeseburgers!). The cottage is also an easy hour’s commute into Chattanooga, TN (We drove in one day to visit the aquarium).

The only thing that would’ve made this place better for us, personally, would’ve been a nice soaker tub and/or a hot tub. All in all, though, we will definitely be recommending this place to our family and friends, and hope to visit again someday. Thank you so much to the sweet owners for your hospitality!
