This property has a well stocked kitchen and everything is nice and tidy throughout the house. We enjoyed our stay. It gave us peace and quiet while at the house, and a scenic ride to downtown Brevard for shopping and dining. The porch gives you an opportunity to sit and relax and enjoy downtime. There was a fairly hard rain one evening when we sat on the porch and enjoyed the cool air it brought. The cabin itself is charming and is loaded with lots of conversation pieces about the house. Beds are comfortable.
Will definitely rent again, this place is as described, perfect. We really enjoyed our time and the location is great for visiting breweries, day hikes, and the local towns.

Thank you for the review, Dan. So happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you'll be back soon!
Cabin was lovely - very unique and a bit off the beaten path.... We had a wonderful time exploring waterfalls in Brevard, Pisgah Forest and Dupont State Recreational Forest. Oskar Blues Brewery was fun and had great burgers. Highly recommend this property
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.

We absolutely loved the cabin. Perfect place to return to for a relaxing evening after hiking to waterfalls, cooking on grill and sitting on back porch enjoying the silence.

We were looking for an escape and a place to relax. This was the most perfect place and I wish we could have stayed longer, this was the most perfect getaway and such a quiet sanctuary. Thank you for such a perfect retreat.

Awesome Cabin
This was a wonderful place for us to have a couple of days in the mountains. The craftsmanship of Chestnut Haven was top notch and the decor was a perfect match. We were also very fortunate to have had great sightseeing weather during our stay.

Thank you, Sharon! I appreciate the kind words. Hope you'll be back for a longer stay soon!
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.
The cabin was very clean and cute. It was great for us to visit with our son at Brevard college and watch him play baseball. Close proximity to DuPont state park and other activities.
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.
