"Great Are The Simple Things In Life" No Doubt you will experience this in our Brand New Cabin. You'll find that "Rooks Nook" features many personal touches, from the high-end antique distressed cabinets and furniture. "Rooks Nook" is a spacious 1500 sq. ft. log cabin, where the exposed beams and rustic wavy board siding were cut from pine trees cleared from the lot. The wrap around porch is inviting, with two wooden log swings and rocking chairs, with a black distressed finish. Also features a hot tub deck.
The hand railings on the porch gives an extra eye catching interest with chicken wire and wooden supports accented with cut outs of cowboy boots and saguaro cactus. The property entertains some large boulders close to the cabin, where the kids will find hours of fun just playing, allowing nature to be their play mate.
Located just minutes from Desoto State Park, Desoto Falls, Cloudmont Ski & Golf Resort, and Mentone, where you can enjoy shopping in many of the antique shops, also offering a variety of foods.

"Great Are the Simple Things in Life'' at "Rooks Nook"
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Mentone
We chose to build in Mentone, because for one, we LOVE the Mountains and always vacationed in the mountains, in East Tennessee or out West. Mentone is very beautiful all seasons and has so much to offer, for that that quite get-away, so I coined the phrase "GREAT ARE THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE". And I really beleive that the simple things in life are the most enjoyable. I,ve always wanted to build my own cabin since I've been in the construction industry, this helped me to design and built the cabin, and with Cynthia's input on the color skeam it was a very enjoyable project, in which we put many personal touches for your enjoyment.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
There are many things we enjoy about our cabin Rooks Nook most in the decor. Take notice of the Exposed Beams which were Sawn from Pine Trees cut off the lot itself, these were sawn by a local Saw Man which brought his Portable Saw mill onto the lot and sawed the Beams on site. The Log walls came from North Carolina (not a kit) Each room has a Beadboard plank wainscoat which has a painted distressed finish, the Balcony Railings are Black Rubbed Distressed finish, the Kitchen is a Pine Cabinet with a Green distressed finish, and Red Knobs. All the furniture pieces were custom designed & built by our shop. There is a Pool table on the Balcony, Tile shower & Heart Shaped Jacuzzi in the Master Bath. Hot Tub & Rockers & Swings on the wrap around porch, Just relax and enjoy your self. We hope you get as much enjoyment from your stay as we do. And remember "GREAT ARE THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE"
Follow Scenic Road from Rooks Nook to Mentone for dining, & shopping for arts and crafts.

My husband and I were married in Mentone 12/11/10 and stayed at Rook's Nook. The cabin was beyond our expectations! We had a wonderful time and hated to leave. The amenities were awesome and the Rooks left nothing out! The wool socks were a great touch, too, since we had a nice dusting of snow while we were there :) I would recommend this cabin a hundred times over! Thanks so much for helping to make our wedding weekend fabulous!

We had an excellent time at Rooks Nook. It's a beautiful home with tons of character, and the heart shaped tub added some extra flair! We were very impressed with how clean everything was, and how quiet it was, even with neighbors nearby. The owners were great, and helped us book with very short notice. We would absolutely return for another visit!

This cabin was pristine in cleanliness, and beautiful. We spent Labor Day weekend here. The details and furnishings are so perfect. The care and work that went into making this cabin reflect a homey, yet luxurious feel. You never want to leave, except to go and sit on the porch and listen to God's beautiful creation surrounding it. We will be back. We have stayed all over the world, from Jamaica to Africa and all over the U.S....this one tops the charts. We can wait to come back.

My husband and I stayed at the "Rooks Nook" in December 2007. It was the most relaxing and peaceful mini vacation that we have ever had. The cabin was more spacious than any other around it. The heart shaped jacuzzi was very elegant with the dimming lights above it. We shot a game of pool, watched t.v. and enjoyed the fire place. The kitchen was layed out so nice and we had everything we needed like being at home but even better!! There is plenty to do and see while we stayed including the golf course about a block down the road. The Desoto Falls was absolutely beautiful!! The water in the Falls and the State Park was so clear we couldn't believe it!! After driving around and looking at all the other cabins we were pleased that we picked this one and will be back to stay and would highly recommend you to check it out!!!
