About Chelsea Turner
Since 1986 our family has been escaping to the mountains of Robbinsville, North Carolina to reconnect with nature, explore, and of course create lifelong memories with our family. We have hiked every trail, taught our two boys to fish here, and shared endless gatherings with family and friends. Every season offers an exciting new set of adventures and scenery. The winter snow, spring wild flowers, summer trout, and fall leaves are just the beginning of what you can expect to find. We invite you to come create memories, share new adventures, and take in the sights and sounds of this nature escape.
Chelsea Turner purchased this cabin in 1986
Why Chelsea Turner chose Robbinsville
After vacationing here as a child, we knew this was an experience we wanted to share with our children. Over the years, we searched for the perfect mountain home only to create our own private escape of several residences. Today we own four mountain homes in Robbinsville and look forward to sharing them with you, your family, and friends.
What makes this cabin unique
When you arrive at the Chestnut Lodge on Huffman Creek, it may take you a few minutes to unwind. Grab your favorite book - or e-reader - head to the porch, hammock, or stream, and prepare for a trip of pure relaxation. Our favorite thing to do is prepare a 'breakfast extravaganza' each morning for the few early risers in the bunch. Prepare a pile of pancakes for those morning lovers and let the rest stay snuggled in bed. Best of all, by the time those morning lovers wrap up, the rest of us are about ready for a day of hiking, exploring, and sometimes napping. It's just the right size home to offer a good combination of gathering spaces and privacy.

Wonderful!

Loved it
Beautiful cabin enjoyed every minute
Just what the doctor ordered!
Great place that we didn't want to leave and plan to visit again. Open floor plan, but with two private bedrooms if you need some alone time. We especially enjoyed the peaceful and scenic view from great room. Pictures don't do it justice.
Beautiful cabin with lots to do!
Took our 5 kids (ages 5-19) for a few days. The cabin is even more impressive than the pictures and so is the property. We absolutely loved it! We went hiking to seven springs which was quite a hike but all the kids made it. More complaining from the teenagers than the little ones. Bear Den Falls was a really good hike. Probably my favorite. The river/stream is beautiful. Several hammocks and a swing are around the property. We all really enjoyed the pool table and the jacuzzi. The drive from Robbinsville is about 25-30 minutes of very winding road so be prepared. We only went into town once to eat dinner. We ate at the Mexican restaurant (I think there’s only one) and it was really good. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was fully equipped. 5 stars for sure and we would love to go back again in the future!
We have been there before, love this property
Owners are super sweet and helpful. I would recommend this property to everyone.
Fantastic mountain retreat for family
Beautiful, spacious and relaxing. This home has it all. Big kitchen(well stocked in pots, pans, utensils), huge wrap around porch to listen to the creek, a yard big enough to play catch in. The hot tub was a huge hit as were the fire pit and awesome trails to hike near by. My family and I had a truly wonderful time and would recommend this cabin ten times over!
Peacful spot away from it all
Our family loves this home and the creek in front. Home has a great layout that is perfect for entertaining and provides the space needed when everyone needs a little time alone.

Enjoy the quieter side of your stay just steps outside of your door. Take a nap by the private river while you enjoy friends and family fishing for trout.
There is certainly nothing more therapeutic than curling up in your cabin during the occasional afternoon rain or warming up by your private fire and enjoying the modern convenience of a twilight movie.
Head down to the fire pit for an evening of stories, laughs, good eats, and of course, smores.
Huffman Creek's private residence offers an abundance of opportunity for the culinary enthusiast to prepare a quick picnic to take along for the day's hike or a full feast to celebrate a day of outdoor fun and relaxation.
