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.

    About Mike or Sandy Stevenson

    Your hosts are both Midwesterners—Sandy from Madison, Wisconsin, and Mike from Chicago, Illinois—who lived and worked in the southeast in the 1970s and determined to retire there. Mike is a retired oil company executive who has always had an interest in woodworking, landscaping, and cooking. This property allows him to indulge all of those. Sandy is a retired High School U.S. History teacher and now works part time at the County Visitor Center where she can tell visitors to the area about its rich heritage. In the years we have been here, we have both become deeply imbedded in the community serving on several boards and volunteering frequently to help the schools and the community. We lived in the cabin while building our house elsewhere on the property and have fond memories of its coziness.

    Mike or Sandy Stevenson purchased this Cabin in 1999

    Why Mike or Sandy Stevenson chose Price Creek

    After living in the suburbs of Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Dallas, the idea of a smaller town was very appealing. Also, having spent the last 20 years in the flat lands of Dallas, it was time for a change of scenery. We were familiar with the area as a result of having been stationed in Atlanta in the early 70s when we used to vacation in the mountains here. As a couple entering retirement, good medical facilities was a requirement (Asheville has one of the top hospitals in the country) as was accessible entertainment (Asheville has 23 performing arts companies, several music venues, round the clock festivals from May to October, plenty of good stores, and more good restaurants than a reasonable person could try in a year). But a bigger piece of property in the mountains was the goal. At the time we bought this property in 1999, land by the acre was a relative bargain compared to other places in the mountains. Western North Carolina has such natural beauty and all four seasons have moderate temperatures and a splendor unique to each one. There is plenty to do within hours of the location not only in western North Carolina, but in Tennessee, Virginia, and South Carolina. You can drive to Hilton Head in five hours, to Washington DC in eight and you can drive to New York City in a day.

    What makes this Cabin unique

    After looking all around the Asheville area, this piece of property in the country a few miles outside of Mars Hill was the perfect fit. A creek running through it, a mountain out back and some level area to allow for grandchildren to run and for entertaining large groups of people. Since we are year around residents, good roads that would be drivable in the winter were important as was a truly rural environment. We were both tired of suburban living with neighbors a few feet away. The waterfall and the hiking trails were the icing on the cake!
