PEACE AND QUIET:
Soothe your soul. Relax to the sounds of nature. Draw inspiration from the surroundings. Chestnut Mountain cabin is set back from the road and nestled in a cove at the foot of a mountain. A creek runs alongside, a pasture stretches out front, and a mountain rises behind. Sit on the front deck or the deck overlooking the pond and enjoy the pastoral setting. Take a chair and park yourself next to the creek and enjoy the sound of the water. Tuck a sketchpad, an I-pad or a book under your arm and find a quiet spot. Or take your camera and capture the beautiful scenes all around. Embark on a hike up the mountain to a private waterfall and draw inspiration from the signs with literary quotations that lead you along the path.

OUTDOOR FUN
Chestnut Mountain Cabin offers those who love the outdoors exceptional choices to enjoy nature in a private setting. For those who love to fish, there is a stocked pond just steps away for your own use. Grab your fishing pole and spend an hour or a day just casting a line. For those who love the sound of the flowing water of a creek, there is a creek alongside the cabin. Grab a chair and plunk down next to the creek with a good book. Or just open the windows during the day or night for that soothing sound. For those who love to hike, there is a path winding up the mountain right in back of the cabin. Grab your hiking boots and explore the beauty of the flora along the path without encountering another person. The path ends at a private waterfall which is just as beautiful during the winter when it forms an ice sculpture. Every season has something to offer. Spring and Autumn offer the different stages of the foliage and the color. The fireflies put on a show in the pasture during the summer. In the winter, we are 20 minutes from Wolf Ridge ski area. But, you have acres of land for making your own snowman, having a snowball fight or sledding down the hill. Fifty private acres are there for your enjoyment.

    The location is so peaceful. The cabin is so quaint, comfortable, and clean. We sat on the porch drinking coffee, watching for deer strolling through the pature, looking forward to the evening firefly show. Our dogs enjoyed playing in the creek, and checking out the banks of the pond. I could easily stay a month or more. It is a dream vacation spot if relaxation is what you are looking for. The host has put a lots of thought into little things in the cabin to make your stay more enjoyable.

    We always search for a cabin to take our dogs and ourselves away from the fireworks madness of Raleigh. This place was fantastic. First, the only sounds were the cows across the road. And, the cabin was a wow! The owners provided everything you could need; the home is roomy enough for two dogs and three adults; it was spotless (including a brand-new bbq grill) and just perfect for us. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness, Sandy and Mike!

    This is a comfortable rural setting with easy access to Mars Hill, Asheville, the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is room to roam onsite, and it is very dog-friendly. The hosts are available, but unobtrusive. We enjoyed our month at the cabin.

    Beautiful property! We really enjoyed our stay. It was great for our family and dog. Our kids enjoyed fishing, walking the trails, and listening to the cows. We had a relaxing stay and really enjoyed the pumpkin bread. Thank you!

    We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable cabin tucked away on the most beautiful property. We are a party of 5 and brought our 9 month old golden doodle as well. We had plenty of room in the cabin and it was paradise for our pup there. It was the perfect getaway from the noisy, hot city life in Florida. This place was magical. That’s the best way I can explain it. Thank you so much for letting us stay there this past week. We enjoyed everything so much and thank you also for the delicious pumpkin bread! Even my picky husband loved it: )
