"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.

The Owner purchased this cabin in 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.
What makes this cabin unique
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"

Great cabin in the woods!
We spent a lovely weekend in this cabin. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were super comfy. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the cool weather, the hot tub and pool table. I would highly recommend Rook's Nook.
Nice getaway at Rooks Nook
We had a great trip to Mentone, DeSoto Falls, Little River Falls. Rooks Nook was a cozy and convenient home base. Hiking nearby was excellent!
Great really are the simple things in life!
We loved spending our spring break away from Panama City in this beautiful cabin in the woods! Definitely the spot for adventurers! The cabin had everything we needed and more, can’t wait to visit again soon.
Beautifully decorated and well stocked
We spent 3 nights at Rook's Nook. The cabin was wonderfully stocked. It is decorated in an appropriate rustic cabin theme. The beds are SUPER comfortable. The hot tub outside was the perfect way to end each day. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. Our ONLY complaint was that the couch and recliner were uncomfortable to sit on, but we could easily relax outside on the porch or in the bedrooms so it wasn't an issue big enough to keep us from having a wonderful time. We would recommend Rooks Nook and will come back!
Very nice, clean and well stocked cabin.
We spent a great weekend getaway at Rooks Nook. Watched wildlife, hiked and rested. Perfect cabin to do all of this. Highly recommend
Awesome log cabin surrounded by woods and God's creation!
We celebrated our 14th anniversary at the cabin and had a great time! Cabin was very clean and easy to find. We have to bring our three boys with us next time.
