The Rookery** can be rented separately from The Gallery.

Ascend the out-of-doors stairway to the spacious oak shaded veranda to reach The Rookery, This tree top hide-a-way offers guests a cozy atmosphere with stylish flair. Guests enter the kitchen (featuring a large fresco of a heron in the cane), and move on into a spacious sitting/bedroom area. A most unique bath, featuring a setting sun stained glass in the shower and old doors to separate facilities is located adjacent the bedroom.


Sitting/bedroom area

From the veranda The Rookery features a bird's eye view of a virgin pine forest and The Gallery Garden, featuring colorful mosaic collages of tile and lush plant life.

The Rookery can accommodate as many as six, but is also a cozy getaway for two.

Connected by inside stairs, The Gallery and The Rookery work well together for groups of 12 to 14.


The veranda

Guests at The Gallery and The Rookery are welcome to enjoy the long ambling "Lost Dog Walk" pier, that winds its way over the waters of Caddo, through a stand of giant, moss-shrouded Cypress to the Taylor Island stretch of the old river channel. (See amenities page.)

Outdoor cooking, bicycles, and canoes are provided for guests

**A rookery is an established nesting spot for birds. In the rookeries of Caddo, herons, egrets and cormorants nest together, but on different levels in the hosting cypress stands.

Rates are the same as all of the Spatterdock Guest Houses.
