HERE IS WHAT SOME OF OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THEIR STAY:
June 2009
Dear Jan and Keith,
Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous place with us. You did a fantastic job with Creekside! And the area is gorgeous. We had a fabulous day hiking Mt Pisgah and seeing a few of the waterfalls of Transylvania County. And the kids enjoyed Sliding Rock, though I didn't fare so well there! : ) And your beautiful home was the perfect way to start and end each day. From a relaxing breakfast next to the creek, with hummingbirds all around us, to an evening around the fire, we will never forget it.
All in all a fantastic trip. One we plan to repeat for sure!
Thanks again,
Doug

Dear Jan and Keith,
We had such a wonderful time at your house, I dont' even know where to start!!! What a beautiful home, what a beautiful area!!! It was so wonderful! The house had everything we needed, it was so nice to be able to cook and have access to everything we needed, from pots and pans to utensils, etc. Everything was so comfortable, it was like being at home (although in a much nicer location! :) ) We loved both houses. The guest house was perfect for my husband and I and our dogs. We had a surprise weekend for my mother in law's 60th birthday, and she could not have been more thrilled. We will definitely be using your house again for family get together's! Thank you again for your hospitality and kindness.
All the best,
The Eudy Family

Jan and Keith,
We had our yearly highly anticipated visit to Mountain High and Creekside this year. The weather was perfect and the lodging incredible!!! We spent a great deal of time playing pool and sitting on the three season porch playing cards and games. We have never felt as relaxed as we do listening to the brook flow and babble!
Our grandson thinks certain things are there just for him every year. He really enjoys the hammock in the woods up the road and heads toward it first thing. And the wide screen TV and entertainment system just make his cartoons the best thing ever and he truly loves the bonfire area with the benches.....
The Stephenson's could not be better hosts, they give us a great experience every year, each one better than the last......
Everyone is already talking about our visit next April...Can't wait
