Chestnut House: private luxury log cabin with mountain views, trout stream, WiFi

This unique cabin has a large front porch with awesome mountain views, hand-hewn logs, chestnut cabinets and paneling, hardwood floors, a vaulted great room with a massive floor to ceiling stone fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with an additional wood-burning fireplace, 4 bedrooms (2 king, 1 queen, 2 twins), 3 full bathrooms, and a large terraced front lawn. It is ideally located less than 500 ft from the pristine trout-filled waters of the Pigeon River with private access to river, a large mowed grassy meadow, and a separate fishing pond; 2 miles to Lake Logan; 9 miles to Waynesville; 15 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway; and 30 miles to Asheville! Access is easy along paved roads, with a very short stretch of level gravel. And there is parking for 5 vehicles! You won't need AWD or 4WD unless it's icy in the wintertime.

This is a perfect place to unwind and relax: sit on one of the six rockers on the front porch and just watch the clouds roll over and between the mountains while listening to the sounds of the river; or linger in the kitchen, sitting in a comfortable glider while drinking a cup of coffee or tea. If its chilly, you may even want to build a fire! If you like to cook, use the fully equipped gourmet kitchen to prepare a fabulous meal and eat it at the porch table with seating for six or at the custom-built dining room table while taking in the ever-changing views and watching the hummingbirds dart about. In the evening you may want to gather in the tastefully furnished living room and watch internet TV or a video, read a book, build a fire, or just visit with friends and family. You might even want to build a fire in the huge outdoor firepit and stargaze.

When you are ready to venture out, there are tons of options for adventures. Asheville, with the Biltmore House, Grove Park Inn Spa, RiverArts district, and fine dining is a short 40 min drive; Waynesville, with multiple grocery stores, farm markets, boutique shops, and galleries is even closer. Cherokee's casinos are less than an hour's drive away.

If you are an outdoor enthusiast, you will surely fall in love with this area. It’s surrounded by NC state-owned lands and the Pisgah National Forest. There are several hiking and mountain biking trails within 5 mi of the cabin, and there are numerous trails and waterfalls located closer to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Great Smokey Mountains National Park with its elk herd at Cataloochee is only 30 miles away. The pristine trout-filled Pigeon River is just a short walk downhill from the cabin, and there are many gorgeous fishing spots. Nearby. Last but not least, you will find whitewater rafting, gorgeous golf courses, and even downhill skiing all within a short drive from our cabin.

And don’t worry if you need to check-in at work while you’re here. We have great, reliable internet access and a small, private desk located in an upstairs bedroom.
