We’ve owned the cabin for about a year now and we still love it. Zook was great to work with. Starting with the base 44×28 Mountaineer we added two of the window nooks (we really like those, they add architectural interest and bring in lots of light), a rear deck, and fully finished upper floor rooms. They were willing to allow us some design flexibility beyond the ordinary. We requested a maintenance-free second floor exterior, so they installed, at our request, vinyl scalloped tiles on all exposed walls above the first floor and painted aluminum trim around the soffits and windows. The roof color we requested was not in their list, but they found a source and we got the red color we wanted. We designed the interior rooms exactly how we wanted them, extensively modifying the base plans. The finished result was exactly what we wanted. Their staff were all courteous, helpful, quick to respond and guided us through every step of the way. Every week at least one of us says, “I love my new cabin.”

Ready for the Cabin Life?

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”

- Henry David Thoreau
