Cozy cabin in the woods!

Amazing cabin! Did not want to leave! Cabin was beautifully designed and decorated. Comfy bed with all amenities that one could desire. Loved the back porch. Being able to bring our pup was an added bonus. Will definitely plan a return visit.

A perfect mountain cabin getaway!!

Everything was excellent. The location, the hostess, the decor, etc. The cabin was rustic and secluded, and the four of us were very satisfied. We will definitely be renting this cabin again and will be recommending it to all of our friends who plan a western North Carolina vacation. Thank you to the owner!

Lovely cabin in the woods!

We loved our stay at Chestnut Haven. The home is so clean and cozy. Super comfortable king bed! Phyllis was very prompt and easy to communicate with. Everything you could possibly need is there. The cabin is about 10 miles from Brevard and the directions are perfect! We would stay there again.

Charming cabin in the woods

Custom built cabin with many charming rustic features, lovely outdoor deck overlooking wooded hillside, very private and perfect for small family or group of 4 or 5 people. Owner was very responsive when info on amenities nearby were needed, or minor needs such as a lightbulb replacement were needed. Helpful to have a 4-wheel drive or be comfortable driving up a short but steep, narrow private road. Recommend using the recreational facilities owners offer to renters at the private community of Connesstee Falls.

Good mountain area fishing access

Had a few cobweb issues(kitchen seating counter from wall to under where chair stools sit and the back porch door upper frame) and suggestion would be to get new throw rugs(bath mats) kitchen towels, pot holders and perhaps a better set of kitchen “equipment”. Perhaps most come and don’t cook…but just even having a coffee scoop would help. So I’d suggest bring your own basics that you would regularly at your own home. We used the stovetop, oven, micro and coffeemaker. Has a blender and hand mixer…but did not use. Knives need replaced or definitely sharpened. AGAIN, it’s because we are a cooking family. Just give me a big pot, fry/sauté pan and the matching lids…which was able to make use(they are there). Brought my own cleaning stuff and salt/sugar/etc…so it worked. Yes, I’m probably a bit pickier than typical cabin renter. Cabin itself is a lovely unit.

This is the perfect place for a relaxing get-away. Lovely home and awesome back porch to watch the white squirrels, deer, foxes and colorful leaves. Close to the waterfalls for day hikes. Fire pit for the cool evenings. We can't wait to visit again.

Lovely cabin - even better than pictured. Lots of neat details and art work. We were in town for a wedding so didn’t get to spend much actual time in the cabin, but wish we did! The porch overlooking the woods is so peaceful and we saw deer. The master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable.One thing to note - it is dog friendly but upon arrival, there was a notice that dogs were not allowed on the furniture. Not a problem, but would have been useful to know beforehand and we may have packed a few more things. Fortunately, we did have their dog beds with us. Again, the stay was great - we would stay here again when visiting family in the area. Highly recommend.

Definitely would stay here again! Perfectly located to enjoy MANY waterfalls and surrounding area activities! Was just me and my 8 yr old and he had a blast! Went to Hendersonville to the Hands On Children's Museum twice because it was so fun! Cabin was nice and clean, beds were very comfortable and was stocked with everything you need! Even saw deer and the famous white squirrels everyday! Just the relaxation we needed!

Absolutely gorgeous stay!

This home was absolutely gorgeous and a treat to stay in! Felt like home, from the fireplace to how incredibly comfortable the beds were!!! Seriously I have never had such a comfortable bed anywhere but home. What a beautiful October stay we had in the mountains. The hosts were so friendly and timely with all responses.

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Goff

Host profile image
Mark Goff, Owner, builder, contractor & owner of Goff Construction, built this cabin.
Phyllis Goff, owner, real estate broker, designed, decorated and manages this property.
We have been in the area almost 40 years, and are so thankful to live here and love sharing it with the many visitors we have had at Laurel Haven.

Why they chose this property

The beauty. Nature surrounds and abounds. The peace. The proximity to so many activities. It is central to Dupont State Forest and Pisgah National Forests. Biltmore House is only 1 hour away.

What makes this property unique

We have tried to bring the outside inside. We have used many reclaimed objects, like the 100 year old wormy chestnut, the claw foot tub, antique sinks in both bathrooms. The laurel handrail and stone fireplace are great focal points in our cabin.
