About this property

Rustic Mountain Cabin

Chestnut Haven is situated on 2.5 acres, very secluded and peaceful. Vaulted ceilings with 100 year old wormy chestnut wood, hefty hammer beams and a gas log fireplace with stonework to the ceiling. We have a large beech tree securing the staircase with rustic mountain laurel twigs. The kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, dishes utensils, etc., and granite counter tops. Bedrooms are comfortable with cotton sheets, and soft quilts and comforters. Thirsty cotton bath towels are in each bathroom. If we've forgotten anything, please let us know. Your comfort and enjoyment is our #1 priority.

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.

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.

Just what we needed!

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!

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.
