This cabin was probably the best one we have stayed in. It was so beautiful and quiet. The grandkids loved it too. We go up there a couple times a year and we will definitely book here again. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories with our grandkids.

The Rooks are great hosts, everything was very clean, well maintained inside and out they made sure we were well taken care of, beautiful cabin, I felt like I had spa days for 4 days straight. Relaxing and well rested. Watching deer roam right out the door of the cabin. Hummingbirds were such a delight zooming around stopping in mid flight to see us. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful VRBO property, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The home was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The furnishings were inviting, the beds were very comfortable, and the attention to detail made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location was ideal, offering both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind. Communication with the host was excellent, with clear instructions and prompt responses throughout our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free vacation experience. We would gladly stay here again!

If you are traveling with little kids there is a playground and a pool right down the road. The cabin was clean and the hot tub was also, the only thing is the pool table needs to be either repaired or replaced. The host was so kind and responded very quickly! We will definitely be back!

Our stay at Rooks Nooks could not have been better. This place is a lovely cozy cabin! It was super clean and had little touches that made it so homey and pleasant. The beds were comfortable. It had nice dishware to use. The hot tub was great and the front porch with all the comfortable seating looking through the trees was so relaxing. The detail in the woodwork and design inside the cabin was beautiful. A great place to stay.
