Talking Leaves Cottage

$1,141.11 USD $1,101.32 USD total for 3 nights

Oct 17 – 20, 2026

Convenient, clean, and comfortable
I had four criteria when booking: dog-friendly, king-size beds, two baths, and one level. Talking Leaves Cottage fit the bill. The spacious front yard was an added extra as was the incredible view off the back deck. I loved the Christian influence that was apparent there as well as the owners' love for dogs. This was our pup's first outing, and it was a great experience. The nearby hiking was a huge asset, and we enjoyed eating our complimentary meal at The Hatter Cafe, which provided a unique and fun motif. It rained a lot over the Memorial Day weekend, but it didn't dampen our enjoyment. The falls at both Little River and DeSoto State Park were worth the hike. I wish I could have spent more time on the back deck soaking in the view, but the rain did not allow. The cottage was perfect for our needs and plenty spacious for our crew. On the negative side, I am not a fan of animal skin floor coverings.
