 "Another visit filled with family memories to last a lifetime. We look forward to coming back to the "cabin house."" - Weltz Family, Charlotte, NC, 05/23/10(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"What a beautiful cabin home in the woods. The cabin was a perfect home base for our adventures in Asheville and then returning each day for rest and relaxation. The spring flowers were breathtaking and we watched the butterflies and hummingbirds looking for nectar. We hope to come again and explore another season in Asheville. Thank you for the cabin and inviting us into your mountain home." - Ann & Bob, Orlando, FL, 05/01/10(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Beautiful! Simply beautiful! What a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We couldn't have been happier and everything more than exceeded our expectations. The cabin is perfect, the colors were breathtaking and everyone was so nice. After making it all the way to the TN/NC state border we were detoured due to a rockslide a few miles ahead of us. It added another 1.5 hours to our trip but it was well worth the drive on I-26. On Monday we woke up to watch the sunrise on the Blue Ridge Parkway. As the fog rolled across the beautiful blue ridge mountains we stood amazed at what stood before us. Later in the morning we set out to hike 9 miles and still couldn't believe all of the amazing sights we were seeing. On Tuesday it was overcast and a bit rainy so we decided to explore more of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the area. Even in the dreary weather it was awe inspiring. We went out on an adventure and took the "long" way to Asheville. Asheville was beautiful but after twining on my Blackberry to find 55 emails and 11 voicemails I quickly decided that I would much rather be back in the comforts of the Creekstone Cabin. We loved every minute of this trip. Memories will include sitting on the porch eating breakfast among the smells and sounds of fall; listening to the brook babble as we fell asleep; laughing as we decide if black bears would be interested in the gum left in the car; and relaxing around such beauty. Beth is so sweet, Jeanine was so gracious and I hope to come back soon. Thanks for everything." - Heather & David, Nashville, TN, 10/28/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: I'm here with good friends and we have had a great time! The cabin is cozy to come "home" to after a day's adventure. We come up for leaf change almost annually and we've enjoyed being here, in this home, I mean, more than many of the others. Thank you so much for sharing!" - G. Staton, Jacksonville, FL, 10/25/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: The cabin was beyond our wildest dreams! Many hours were spent relaxing and playing lots of Scrabble! This has been a wonderful honeymoon and we will be back!" - Puckett Family, Lincoln, IL, 10/22/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: We enjoyed our time here so very much. The cabin is picture perfect! Whether you are gathered around the table or laying in the loft listening to the creek and other sounds of nature, you are sure to notice the clear air and the feeling of peace around you. Beth was such an asset to you. She made us feel welcome and was available when/if needed. Delightful! We took her advice and took the most beautiful (and curvy!!) route to the Blue Ridge Parkway and then followed it back to Asheville. Another delightful experience. One of many. We will definitely be returning in the future." - Alicia & Kayla, Florida, 08/08/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Our third visit to Asheville together -- and by far the best trip. Wonderful drives and walks as well as discovering Asheville, Hendersonville and other parts of the area. The cabin was great! We enjoyed the deck where we ate most of our fabulous meals. The sound of the creek was soothing and relaxing. All I needed was a hammock by the creek! We met most of the neighbors including the new puppy "Toby", all quite friendly. Hope to return -- all the best wishes. P.S. Tupelo Honey and Table for great meals!" - Ashley & Stefan, Ohio, 06/07/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: This is our second stay at the cabin and it's even better than we remember. We're celebrating our 2-year wedding anniversary and needed to relax, recharge and reconnect. We loved laying in the loft bed with the window open listening to the creek and the rain falling -- so relaxing. The sheets on the bed are unbelievably soft and the cabin on the whole is comfortable and cozy. We ate dinner in Asheville each night and have two absolute favorites -- Tupelo Honey Cafe is a must for great southern food and La Bouchon has fantastic French food. We love this cabin and visiting Asheville. We'll definitely be back again." - Camber & David, Decatur, GA, 05/25/09(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Quite an adventure for a family of 4! Mom, Dad, 9-year old and 10-month old. So this vacation was all about the kids! We did lots of walking and exploring town. The Fun Depot was a hit for both ages which is nearly impossible! We met my Dad and his wife and took the families to Chimney Rock. It was a beautiful hike, quite difficult with a baby though. Took the kids to the Health & Science Museum in Pack Place - another hit, fun for the grownups too. Today is Thanksgiving, meeting our family from around the country at my Grandparents' place in Erwin - including you Jean & John, see you soon :-) We didn't get to see Lady or bears, but the unicorn that visited one morning was very sweet." - Kilbergs, Jacksonville, FL, 11/29/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: We are beach people (see Nature Guide to the Carolina Coast by Peter Meyer), but really enjoyed again feeling the power and presence of the surrounding forest, whether sitting on the deck or hiking local trails. Creekstone Cabin is comfortable and welcoming. Thanks for making it so." - Meyer Family, Wilmington, NC, 10/07/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Enjoyed our week stay here. This is our first trip to North Carolina. Everyone we met were so friendly and helpful. Staying in this cabin made it even more memorable.

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: This being our first time here we really enjoyed your nice clean cabin. So nice and quiet. The kids loved the loft but much more the creek behind the house - we even found a river crab (crawfish). It is sad to leave but it is a pleasure to leave this house for the next guests. Thank you for a great time!" - Fritzies, Chicago, IL, 08/16/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

We will be back." - Ventre Family, Lynchburg, VA, 08/03/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: We loved your beautiful cabin nestled in the Pisgah Forest. After 6 days of camping, it was a welcome retreat! We appreciate all the little "extras" that make it feel like home. We also appreciated the welcome call from Beth, and then later her "Bear Alert" call! Our boys, ages 7 and 9 (and Dad) had a fun time catching and releasing crayfish and salamanders in your creek. We also enjoyed our hikes in the woods. Thanks for a wonderful stay." - Opitz Family, Sarasota, FL, 07/26/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Our family loved the cabin! My 7 year old daughter's favorite show is Little House On the Prairie so she was crazy about the loft. She insisted upon sleeping in the closet upstairs with your resident "Teddy". The kids went up and down the spiral stairs every minute. It's a very family friendly cozy cabin. We definitely plan to make this our N.C. place to stay. We can't wait to return!" - Nagel Family, McDonough, GA, 07/06/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

 "FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: We sure loved your cabin! This is just what we needed! I'm leaving you an original acoustic CD (cats like it as much as dogs). We hope to see you again soon. If you're ever in Florida, give us a call." - Smalley Family, Florida, 07/01/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: The cabin was great just like the forest. My son loved the loft bedroom. I was very happy to see the national forest was right in the backyard. I really enjoyed the sound of the creek and the singing of the birds every night and morning. The cabin gave us the full experience of living simply by the beautiful nature! The distance of the cabin from Asheville was great to allow us to enjoy the culture and art in the evening!" - Adams Family, Fort Mill, SC, 06/08/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Very nice place to stay! We never slept in a loft together so that was an interesting experience. Loved having the trail to walk out in the back.

 "FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: The mountain biking through Pisgah National Forest was amazing again. This cozy cabin was a dream to come home to compared to our tents last year.

Cheers!" - Liddy & Evan, Toronto, ON, Canada, 03/25/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: This was our 2nd time here in the last year and a half. Probably the best little cabin in Candler, NC. The snow was a perfect New Year's present. Our kids (ages 6 & 8) were so excited to throw snowballs and make snow angels. Everything in the cabin was awesome. We really missed Lady." - Lewis Family, Sebring, FL, 01/04/08(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Despite some confusion in getting here, the Christmas week was fine. We had a cozy home base for lots of relaxing and sharing with our local family, and we got to explore lots of beautiful territory. I especially enjoyed my walk out in the back woods - Darla helped to find my way safely back home. Oh, and waking up to the sunrise, and sometimes snow, greeting us at the upstairs bedroom window was splendid." - Maria, Syracuse, NY, 12/28/07(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

That's about all, we thank you for providing such a retreat for us." - Carol, Linda & Laura, Texas, 05/28/07(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Thank you for accommodating our first visit to North Carolina. We were looking for a charming and quiet place from which to explore this wonderful area. The setting, furnishings, great wood stove and loft where we could fall asleep to the gurgling creek and awake to the twittering birds was more than we had hoped for. The weather was picture perfect for hiking and visiting the small towns and Asheville too.

When we walked in the door we were awestruck!!! The pictures online do not give the cabin any justice! The cabin is like out of a fairytale...it's truly amazing and one-of-a-kind! We really appreciate you sharing this part of your lives with us. We had so much fun BBQing steaks outside and playing the board games you provided! We will for sure come back again some day! Oh, and thanks for all the cute notes, they really made us feel like we were surrounded by love. In fact, the total ambiance of the cabin combined with the notes made us feel like we were in a very safe environment that was put together with a lot of love.

We couldn't have asked for anything better. The atmosphere was perfect for an old-fashioned country Christmas. The only thing that disappointed us was we didn't get to meet the little dog next door. Everything about the cabin was wonderful. I think John had more fun taking care of our warm fires every night. Thanks again for everything. Happy New Year!" - Pam & John, Miami, FL, 12/26/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

My college roommate and our husbands found you on the internet and the minute we drove up and stepped inside our relaxing, romantic getaway weekend began. We enjoyed meeting Lady and having her show us the way to the creek and greet us in the morning. We visited many sites in Asheville, the Grove Park Inn, Chimney Rock, drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and saw a bear. It was so much fun being together again and enjoying this cabin Jennifer liked to call "the doll house". This was just what we needed before the busy holiday season kicked in.

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Thanks for a week spent in a little taste of heaven. Aleta and I came for a respite from a busy life - mine includes a husband and seven children - and we got just what we came for. The scenery is breathtaking; the town of Asheville is so much fun; and the cabin is so peaceful and serene. I had the joy of sleeping in the loft - made me feel like a little girl again. Waking up to the babbling brook was almost as sweet as going to sleep listening to it. I hope someday to come back, maybe even more than once. It made a great girls' getaway but it would also make a great second honeymoon place. After 25 years my hubby and I are ready for that. Thanks for everything you supplied, so much more than I expected. God bless! P.S. Thanks to Lady for accompanying us on our walks." - Karen H., Kennett Square, PA, 10/14/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: So much has changed in a year...but the cabin is just as perfect as we remember it. We had so much fun hiking the trails of Pisgah, snuggling and watching movies by the fire, and escaping the demands of everyday life for a few days. Even though we live close it's like another little world out here.

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK This is the perfect retreat from our hot, humid and heartbroken home, New Orleans. We all actually felt relaxed for the first time in almost a year. What a cozy, idyllic cabin! We will all miss falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the creek. We hiked the trails near Pisgah Inn, Pink Beds, Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rock, Linville Falls and Caverns, Biltmore Estate and loved every minute of it all. Please call us first if you ever decide to sell the cabin! Thanks for sharing the cabin with us." - Ellen, Sam, Hillary, Ben & Lexi, New Orleans, LA, 07/29/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

What a fantastic week we had to start a great marriage. Maybe our visit here has encouraged us to someday buy a cabin down here! We loved it!! The visits from your neighbor Lady were also very fun and enjoyable. What a social butterfly she is! We sure are going to miss falling asleep to the sound of your creek at night! Thanks again for a great place to stay in that we will never forget." - Holly & Jeff, Columbia, MD, 07/23/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Our stay in your wonderful cabin -- amidst the woods of North Carolina -- was truly idyllic. We chose this spot wanting it to be as different as possible from the bustle of our life in Shanghai, China, and so it was! From the moment we were welcomed by Lady -- and Beth -- we loved Creekstone Cabin. The weather was perfect (unfortunately we could not light the wood stove as it was not cold enough!) but we had wonderful mornings on your deck, enjoying the sunshine through the trees. The cabin was beautifully maintained -- and, yes, we are very sorry to leave it -- particularly after waking up to the sound of the creek each morning. We carry wonderful memories back to Shanghai -- and hope to have the opportunity to enjoy your world yet again in the future. The week has passed too quickly!

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: What a wonderful cabin. You were right, Jeanine, we don't want to leave. Our boys loved hiking with Lady, and they saw their first snow flakes. Everything was perfect, especially waking up to the sound of the creek. Although we plan on moving to the area, my son wants to come back here at least one more time. Thank you." - The Lino Family, , 03/23/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Thank you for welcoming us to your cabin again. We enjoyed our second visit as much as the first. There are so many things about your cabin we love -- the deck, furniture on the deck for enjoying breakfast, the woodburning stove, the loft, gloves for the firewood, the creek's babbling, the flowering potted plants, all the comforts of home. We're already looking forward to our next stay at Creekstone Cabin." - Jason & Holly, Charlotte, NC, 03/19/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: What an amazing escape we had here! No work, no cell phones ringing -- a break from all the hustle & bustle of everyday life. From the moment we arrived our faces were sore from smiling :) We kept repeating to each other "we're so happy". The cabin is absolutely perfect. From the warmth of a fire, to cooking & grilling, to drifting off to sleep to the lullaby of the creek... this weekend was perfect! All the small touches, the coffee, the firewood, the books... made this wonderful. Thank you for allowing us to have this experience!" - Katie, Allison & Hope, Charlotte, NC, 03/13/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: If we didn't miss our kids and pets so much we might never leave beautiful North Carolina. The cabin was so comfy and the locals very friendly.

God Bless." - Robert & Becca, Jamestown, ND, 02/28/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

Thanks again." - Nathan & Christina, Spartanburg, SC, 02/12/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: This cabin and this weekend was more than I could have imagined. The weather was perfect and there was snow on the ground when we arrived. It is very peaceful and quiet and cozy. Even though it was cold, we still slept with the window open and woke up to the sound of the creek. Amazing! My husband and I will definitely come back." - Stevens Family, Jacksonville, NC, 01/16/06(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

Absolutely beautiful...we had the forest to ourselves. The farmer's market in Asheville was full of wonderful jellies and other treats. Our dinner at the Flying Frog was fantastic, as always.

This was peak leaf weekend and the colors are beautiful. We came for our anniversary and to rest before the big day...our son is getting married in December, so it's full steam ahead when we get home. ...Beautiful walk behind the cabin to the creeks... Thanks for sharing your home and we look forward to returning." - Mike & Donna, Georgia, 11/06/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Serendipity! What a perfect time of year and perfect spot to experience NC. Creekstone Cabin is very special, a lovely cabin to come home to...from the Biltmore to the Great Smokies, Cashiers and beyond. While our hiking gear stayed in the truck, we hiked from gift shop to gift shop to gift shop. There's probably not a better compliment than to say we're thinking of moving here from New England! Charming & Enchanting! Thank you for sharing your adorable cabin with us!" - Heidi & Kymberly, Connecticut, 11/03/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: What a beautiful mountain cabin--it has exceeded our expectations! A "story book" kind of place.

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: We love the mountains! Staying here made our visit so much more pleasant. The house is in a wonderful location, so quiet and peaceful. Loved the walking trails.

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Coffee & hummingbirds. Wow! The cabin is wonderful. Everything you need. The sound of the creek while in bed puts you right to sleep. Took Jeanine's advice and went to the restaurant at Pisgah Inn and it was great and some view. Visited the Biltmore--don't miss it. Climbed to the top of Chimney Rock Park, a lot of work. [Then] was Mount Mitchell. Walked up to the observation tower and came down Balsam Nature Trai--just beautiful. Too bad we missed the changing of the leaves but we missed all the crowds." - Sally & Giovanni, Clearwater, FL, 09/21/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: We certainly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful cabin home. The only thing we found lacking was a history of the cabin itself!! That would be a neat addition to your reading material! We hope to have the opportunity to return. P.S. Thanks for sharing your home with us." - Ken, Vicki & Misty, Robbins, NC, 09/12/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: Sometimes we need to do as the Scriptures command: Be still and know that He is God." When I saw the amazing facilities, the warm manner in which Beth greeted us, the peaceful and quiet surroundings, the sloping celestial mountains reaching upwards as if pointing to the heavens, and heard the calming sound of the stream, it just reaffirmed what I already knew: that God is still in control. But the most important thing I am thankful for is that this place afforded the opportunity to reconnect not only with myself but with my husband. This is indeed a very special place and know that you must be grateful that it belongs to you. Thanks for making it available to us. God bless." - Ferndena & Fernwell, Moncks Corner, SC, 09/06/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: This was our first visit to North Carolina and it was charming, drenching, and so very green! It was a delight for our parched desert souls to enjoy respite in your beautiful mountain wilderness. Instead of taking home trinket keepsakes we are taking a 4-week-old puppy. She will be a daily reminder of our sojourn here. With a vocation that leaves me little time to just be this place gave me what I needed -- time to just be with my family (which now includes a NC pup!)" - Virginia, John, Tessa & Megan, Sierra Vista, AZ, 07/12/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"FROM CABIN GUESTBOOK: What a setting! Serene...idyllic...a little bit of heaven. The perfect place to read God's Word, hear His voice and contemplate the beauty of His creation.

We loved all your artistic touches, inside and out. Thank you for everything!" - Rudy, Christine & Sarah, Richmond, VA, 07/05/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

We hadn't seen each other in 3 years and it was such a happy reunion, perfect place for it there. We just loved your place...I hope that someday we can return. I took a handout to remember it by and will recommend it to friends. It will be perfect for anyone fortunate enough to stay there. Just another indication of what wonderful people you are, considering how well stocked and how every need was thought of. I have never stayed anyplace that provided so many personal touches for the guests and made it truly feel like home. You are so special. Thanks again." - Sarah & David, Illinois, 06/20/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Your cabin was everything I was hoping for. I especially liked the many "extra" touches, such as: Having spices, coffee, etc. Who hasn't forgotten the "details" when planning a menu? The brochures from regional attractions...I appreciated having books, puzzles and games to choose from. The deck was where I spent most of my time. It was just wonderful to sit on the deck with a cup of coffee, reading, listening to the creek and the birds, being so close to nature. Hearing the creek made falling asleep at nights a breeze too. While on the deck I was visited frequently by the hummingbird. Thank you again for your hospitality. I truly felt like I was staying in someone's home, not in a "rental"." - Lori, Appleton, Wisconsin, 06/10/05(HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
