This was the perfect place for our family of five to get awake for the weekend. The cabin was immaculate when we got there and everything we needed was supplied. The kids had a blast roasting marshmallows over the fire pit and the hot tub was well lit for night time dips with the whole family.

The photos do not do this place justice! Gorgeous, clean, secluded. We LOVED it! The ONLY downside was theres no cell signal. But they have wifi and unlimited long distance on a house line to compensate. Most places are bare bones, cheaper furnite. Not this place. There's sturdy built-ins and the place is solid. They have every amenity you could need although we brought everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend. Just be ready to drive a windy, mountain road but that's going to be any cabin in that area. Phenomenal!

I have been doping some traveling in the last few years. Stayed in many cabins and hotels in the southeast
This is hands down the most relaxing, well-stocked with utensils and drinkware, and immaculately clean place we have stayed.
Host were the best at communicating. Not that was anything other than me locking my phone in the cabin when leaving. She was so gracious in helping me retrieve it.
I usually don't go near the hot tub, BUT this was exceptionally clean and inviting!!
Convenient to stores and restaurants bit not too close.
Will definitely be coming back!!!
Can not say enough about how we loved this cabin!!!!!!

The property was just as it was described and was exactly what we wanted. The check-in process was easy and communication was excellent. The Rooks were available if we needed them and left multple ways to reach them. If you need a nice little place for a getaway, we recommend this little Nook! It's really close to Desoto Falls and the Salllie Howard Memorial Baptist Church. These are 2 landmarks we also recommend you visiting while here. Thank you, Kevin & Cynthia!

Love the cabin! So many unique, personal touches. Open and spacious, everything we needed. I love that local trees were used to build it.
Hosts were very responsive in answering questions, even had the cabin ready for us a bit early. Check in/check out were easy as can be!

What a gem, from the location to the comfortable bed! We so enjoyed our honeymoon stay. The cabin had everything you could possibly imagine. The owners were great at communicating, when needed. Sitting on the porch was heavenly, especially while watching the squirrels, birds and deer. Close to everything! We look forward to staying again.

This is our second stay at Rooks Nook. As expected, it was absolutely amazing. Cynthia went above and beyond to make the stay wonderful. Everywhere you turn there are bath and body lotions, sprays, soaps and even fuzzy socks for you. We spent lots of time in the hot tub and hours on end playing pool. A much needed get away from life just to reconnect and spend time together without life's interruptions. Thank you for an amazing time!

This was our second Christmas here. My wifes family came for dinner and to swap gifts. Kitchen was stocked with more than enough for family style dinners and everything was excellent as always

It was a very nice place and clean. The master bed up stairs needs a new mattress, it has a sunken spot in it and the foam on top just makes it harder to get out off.
The pool table needs a need mat and the table needs leveling up, had to readjust a few time using folder newpapers to level table. There were no scissors and the sharp knives were not sharp. But over all it was a nice clean stay. We didn't get to explore due to it raining most of the weekend. But we made do.

This cabin has everything you need for a great weekend in the woods! There were 4 of us and we had an amazing time sitting on the porch doing bible studies and watching deer, catching up in the hot tub and reminiscing in the living room. The owners had Bath and Body Works items everywhere which we loved, the kitchen was perfectly stocked, everything worked and we did not have a single problem all weekend. We are already planning our return.
