Nancy and Ed’s place is one of the most peaceful, relaxing stays we’ve ever had. The place is perfect and we walked to Blue Sky each evening to watch the sunset.

My husband and I have celebrated 2 anniversaries here. It is in a fantastic secluded area where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The houses are fully equipped with everything you could need including the kitchen. There are hot tubs which are so relaxing! The fireplaces make the houses so cozy. Close to wineries! The ultimate The Hobbit and The Lord Of the Rings themed getaway! Don't pass this opportunity up!

This was our third stay at Rocky Comfort. Our second in the Creole. The cabin is cozy and the property is beautiful. It is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is quiet and peaceful. Nobody bothers you and the owners (Ed and Nancy) are wonderful people who truly seem to care about their guests. The furniture is beautiful and really fits with the "theme" of the cabin. The bed was excellent and we slept great. Overall Rocky Comfort is an awesome place to visit. We will definitely be back!

An absolutely great place to stay!! Hosts are lovely to work with and the surroundings are beautiful any season. The house itself has just the right amount of theming and served as a great space to spend time together.

I am a city girl through and through. So when I stumbled upon Rocky Comfort Cabins, I was intrigued by the remote location and beautiful views. My husband and I spent a few nights here and we enjoyed our time. There is no Wi-Fi or Cell Service, so if you're looking to unplug against a backdrop of rolling hills and beautiful forests, this is the perfect space. We stayed in the Creole Cabin which had a large hot tub, one bedroom, two bathrooms, and a large kitchen. The Cabin was within walking distance to the Blue Sky Vineyard, which I strongly recommend (the white sangria is delicious!) Overall, the Creole Cabin was the perfect spot to unwind after a long day hiking in Shawnee or enjoying wine. We will be back!
