"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"

Relaxing stay in Mentone!
My family and I stayed here for the weekend. It was perfect for our family. I was in Mentone for a conference at Camp Skyline and it was convenient to get back and forth. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Loved everything about it
Love it! Have stayed here multiple times and never been unhappy!
Awesome place-highly recommend
This cabin was very clean and it was perfect for a quick getaway. Host was helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again when we are back in area.
Clean, and centrally located to nearby attractions
The cabin was clean and was supplied well. My family and I were there to relax and see Desoto State Park. The Cabin was in a great location, centrally located near the town of Mentone and Desoto Falls, and Desoto State Park. This was our first time to the area. Our only complaint about the trip, is the directions to the cabin are hard to understand and GPS is not reliable there. We had a little trouble finding it on the first day, but once we did we were glad we booked it. It was a great fit for our family.
Little slice of Heaven
Great cabin for a family retreat. It has all the necessities of home, tucked away from it all. Close and convenient to shops and the parks. Thank you for sharing your cabin
Loved it!
Cabin was very clean. Had everything we could possibly need. Wish we could have stayed longer. Nice exterior and interior touches, it just felt very homey.
