Amazing

We had the most amazing time at this beautiful property. Words can’t describe the beauty of this place. Every detail was perfect and thought out. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to connect with nature. We never left the property once we arrived. We will definitely be back.

Great place to stay!

We had a group of 7 including me and were staying in town for some of the famous roads such as Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway. This was a reasonable distance from them and the neighboring town. While the road to get there is gravel, it wasn't anything the cars couldn't handle. Very scenic and plenty of space for the cars. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Our yearly 2 Wheeling family trip.

Everything was awesome. We loved it all. Beds were great, kitchen had everything we could possibly want, the fireplace and fire pit was awesome too. We rode over 700 miles during our week and enjoyed every minute of our time. Will be back again. Thank you for letting us all stay there.

Amazing and very relaxing

We stayed for 5 days. Seamless check-in. But the address was 1 number off. GPS had trouble getting us. But it was worth the trip. The pictures don't do it justice. We will be going back next year and renting 2 cabins for more family to come with us next year. Its a great place to leave the day to day behind. Thanks for letting us stay.

Heaven On Earth

If you are looking to disconnect from the everyday rat race and stay in a mountain paradise this place fits the bill. Our family of 7 adults and 3 dogs had the best time ever. Not what you want if you need a lot of screen time but if you are looking to enjoy hiking and beautiful drives. This is it The creek at the lodge is one of the prettiest we have ever seen. We all had a great time together but there is plenty of room to spread out. We will definitely be back soon

Home Away From Home

The home and apartment were spacious yet cozy and was the perfect setup for our extended family. Everyone had their own space to sprawl out and get comfortable. We loved the open layout of the living room & kitchen area to cook and socialize. Our favorite part of our stay was the yard and creek! Although it rained for a few days, we spent plenty of our time outside under the carport relaxing and watching the rain come down. It was beautiful! We loved our stay and cannot wait to come back!!

Beautiful location right in the mountains

We were aware of a gravel driveway (on motorcycles) but did not expect 5 to 7 milles. Listing should state you need to bring your own coffee and laundry detergent. House was wonderful just wish a little more transparent. I maybe should have asked more questions.

Absolutely Awesome!

We had ages range from 9 to 86 and everyone was very satisfied. The property is gorgeous and well maintained. The fishing was fantastic, if you’re looking for wild rainbow and brook trout. I managed to catch my best wild brookie. The constant sounds of the creek and birds was perfect. Even my tinnitus was drowned out. I look forward to our mountain trips every year to get truly “get away from it all”. This property did just that. The caretaker was so pleasant and accommodating. One warning, those trails are a workout! And I loved it!

Family Annual Getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at Chestnut Lodge. The huge back yard gave opportunity for lots of game time for the whole family. The children loved exploring around the creek. The site host was very quick to respond to the few issues we had while we were there. It should be noted that it is a 30 minute drive into town to the grocery store. We cooked all of our meals at the house. The pans were actually good quality and didn’t leave half your meal stuck to the bottom. There was also an extra refrigerator downstairs which was needed for 3 families. Snowbird Creek was about a 20 minute drive to some good fishing holes. We caught enough trout to have a fish fry one night. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful stay in the woods, we would highly recommend this place. Just remember, it is in the woods by a creek so don’t be surprised if you run into some of the local critter residents that make their home there as well.

Cabin stay

Stayed in home for a four day weekend just to get away. Like others have said there is no cell service at cabin with either Verizon or AT&T but you can turn WiFi calling on your phone and still make and receive phone calls and text messages. We loved having the creek right outside the door. My lab played in it every day. Overall cleanliness was good. Did have a couple of issues that addressed with the owner and she responded immediately. Couldn’t figure out the thermostat during stay so was a little warm in the cabin but just opened up some windows. If want to get away from everything this is the place to be to relax. The WiFi was very good. Was able to play gaming system. Would recommend a TV in the lower area somewhere. There is only one in the living room and in the bedroom on the main level. Would definitely stay again. It is 30 minutes from house to any stores in town, so would recommend considering when planning to cook to make sure you have everything.

The Chestnut Lodge in June

The setting is beautiful and perfect for the whole family. The kids loved playing in the creek while adults enjoyed the porch and fire pit. The kitchen is well stocked to assist in feeding the ten people we brought along. The living room comfortably sat six people max and is the only sitting room inside. The beds, bathrooms and linens were all fresh, comfortable and clean. Several online corrections are needed if one is counting on a King bed with cozy chair in basement bedroom. There is no chair in the basement bedroom and there is no king bed. It’s a Queen like the others. We loved the outdoor fire pit and spent several evenings enjoying it. I missed reading ahead of time that there is added cost for firewood, $50 worth didn’t last us all week. Overall, we loved the quiet and time with family. The road in wasn’t as bad as expected but could use some grading. We’re thankful to have experienced the Chestnut Lodge this season.

Amazing property!

We loved the house and it’s amazing setting. It was just stunning. Great attention to detail, and the creek is amazing. Do go there for family time, do not go expecting to be connected to your devices and the outer world. We had very little luck with phone calls and even texting. it happened, but because of our large group (8 phones) service was so spotty that I stopped trying- but it was a good thing. We were there to get away. Two things of note that I feel possible renters should know- the road to and from the property is fairly long and is dirt/gravel. We negotiated it with our trucks and trailers just fine. As we were all veteran riders, we made do on our motorcycles too, even with a couple of fully dressed tour bikes. That said- it wasn’t for the faint hearted or for low slung sports cars. To be clear- there is scarecely a road in the COUNTY for the faint hearted 😅it’s the mountains after all. I mention these things only to better inform possible renters so that everyone has a great time like we did. Thank you for the awesome get away!

Peaceful paradise!

If you truly want to get away from it all and relax in a place of incredible beauty, this is the place for you! The lovely lodge is next to a roaring mountain river on a gorgeous piece of lushly wooded property. We loved sitting out on the covered porch in the comfortable rocking chairs listening to nothing but the flowing waters and birdsongs. Several hummingbirds visited the filled feeder, and we saw so many butterflies! The house was immaculate, the kitchen had everything we needed (including a great knife set, cookie sheets, slow cooker, etc.), and the beds were very comfy. We loved it! Our family of 9 had a great time playing games, cooking, and just being together. You do need to know that while we could get some spotty cell coverage and enough wi-fi to check emails, this would not be the place to stay if you needed strong wi-fi for work or to stream movies (there was a nice TV with cable, but you couldn’t use Netflix, etc.). My son had some work he needed to do, so he drove to Robbinsville (about a half hour drive) and did his online work there at the library. The rest of us weren’t working, so we were fine. Frank the groundskeeper was wonderful, and the owners responded very quickly to any questions I had. The only thing that I wish could have been different is that it rained a lot every day! We couldn’t have a bonfire in the awesome fire pit area like we’d planned on having. We were able to use the nice grill because it was in a covered area. One really nice thing my daughter and I did was drive over to hike in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest which is nearby. Even though it rained most of the time, thanks to the dense canopy of the ancient trees and our rain jackets, we didn’t get too wet. I highly recommend that hike if you are interested in seeing some of the last remaining old growth trees in this area. One last thing-make sure you print out (or screenshot before you get on the road) the very specific directions about how to get there, and look very closely at the photos that are included (so you can read sign names). The lodge is in a very remote location and you'll probably lose cell service/GPS once you leave Robbinsville. Don’t let that scare you! You will find the lodge if you pay close attention to those directions from the owner. I highly suggest getting there before dark. This place is so beautiful! It’s the perfect place to unplug and unwind which is so desperately needed in our crazy world!

Wonderful cabin.

Excellent cabin if you want seclusion. Beautiful property with lots to do onsite. Very tough trails for children, cobwebs everywhere inside and outside of home, I guess the cleaning crew ignores those. We also found it odd that we pay for cleaning service and are expected to strip the beds and clean the towels. Overall though the cabin is very well maintained. The property is very private and great for a getaway. Staff around the property were all very nice and helpful as well when asked questions. All 9 of us loved the trip overall and would recommend to others.

The house and outside experience was great! The only cons we experienced was not enough hot water and the lack of towels provided. We only had one towel and wash cloth per person for a 3 night stay. The guest house rooms smelled awful and didn't have TV's.

The location is great. The areas outside are what make this an outstanding rental. A large yard that was great for my 3 year old grandson to play and hiking whenever you step into the woods. The creek and waterfalls are relaxing and sound is soothing. I could live there!

Best Vacation at Chestnut Lodge

This was the best vacation that we've ever had. We had differing ages and personality types and EVERYONE enjoyed their stay at Chestnut Lodge. We had some problems getting to the property most likely because we traveled at night; I wouldn't do that again for this property. The kitchen was also smaller than we expected but our stay was still perfect. The house and property were absolutely charming, beautiful and just the right fit for us. We did not want leave. The sounds of nature and rushing creek that we encountered from the moment we set foot on the property was just amazing. Our family hiked the trails and up the mountains, made smores, played outdoor races, soccer, waded in creek, relaxed in the hammocks and much more. This place just left us wanting for more of it. We are definitely going to try and schedule more time at this property. This was an 8 hour trek from Florida for us but we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for such an amazing opportunity and a trip that my family will remember for a lifetime!
