Here's what some of our guests have had to say:

Hi Jan,

We've just returned from your house in Asheville......How wonderful!!! The house was great, the firepit was so enjoyable, but without a doubt,,,,,the most wonderful part of the property was the guest house! Our family enjoyed the pool table, and gas logs, but the porch was absolutely fantastic! How great to sit out on the porch and listen to the creek with our family. The time we spent was unforgettable.Our parents are getting a little older, and our family time is limited, and with part of us in S.C, and part of us in Kentucky we seldom have time when all of us are together,,,,, We will treasure this time for many years to come.

This was such a blessing!

Thanks again...

The McDonald's

More Comments...: 'This has been a great family vacation! We hiked almost everyday...the most beautiful and fun for the kids was hiking 'Graveyard Trail'. We visited the N.C. Arboretum, Black Mountain, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, The Grove Park Inn...just to name a few! Had dinner at the Pisgah Inn - it was good, but really enjoyed cooking steaks here on the grill. We had a campfire each night and read ghost stories from a book we left for you to enjoy! We'll be back!' The Wilkens Family

About Jan Stephenson

Keith and Jan have called Central Florida 'home' since 1984, where we established a custom sign manufacturing business. Designing and creating signs has been a great way to use our God-given talents and also has lead us down the road to renovating and restoring houses through the years..

Jan Stephenson purchased this house in 1992
Why Jan Stephenson chose Asheville

We absolutely fell in love with this property and the whole area in the Pisgah National Forest when first laying eyes on it! There are 8 homes on a total of 77 acres that were notched out of the Forest back in 1930's and little by little most of these homes were constructed by Bob Doutin who built our house in 1952.

Home renovations and decorating has been our joy and given us much satisfaction, so it was a natural fit for us to find such a unique opportunity and begin a renovating process again. Our latest project completed was tearing down an old garage and building a wonderful gameroom/guesthouse (Creekside finished in 2007) re-using the beautiful rough-sawn oak boards to make kitchen cabinets and a dining table for the new structure!

We began sharing this amazing property with friends and family many years ago and it only gets to be more fun with each ensuing year (thanks to VRBO and HomeAway)! Word's cannot begin to say how much God has blessed us with this place and what a privilege it is to 'meet' all the new travelers who contact us to stay here in our 'little piece of heaven'!

What makes this house unique

2 beautiful mountainside acres with oaks, ironwoods, poplars and hemlocks towering over the wild rhododendron and mountain laurel and creek.

Though we have a few neighboring homes, none are in view of our property.

Privacy and serenity are key.

Wonderful Weekend!

Submitted: September 17, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Jan and Keith,
Our visit to your property concluded yesterday morning and I wanted to quickly convey to you how much fun we had. The screened-in porch at Creekside is amazing and we spent hours and hours there playing cards listening to the creek babble. We did both the hikes from the map and enjoyed both. Having the separate sleeping quarters at the house allowed those of us who get up too early to ease on up to Creekside to make coffee. We had everything we needed and found it easy to clean up as we headed out.

Thanks again.

Dean

Mountain Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: August 25, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Five seniors and their canine companions just enjoyed a wonderful week at Mountain High and Creekside.The amenities provided by the owners were numerous and thoughtful. The two houses were cozy and comfortable with well stocked kitchens. The location was perfect. It was easy to hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway or dash into Asheville for sightseeing and shopping. The homes were perfect places to unwind and relax in the evenings. We especially enjoyed dining at the Mt. Pisgah Inn and other dining options in Asheville. We have already recommended this Mountain Retreat to family and friends.

Vacation Memories!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 19, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Dear Jan,

Thanks so much for sharing your home with my family! It was a perfect family retreat for my husband and our 4 adults kids and their families.
We loved the creek side porch for family meals and evening card games. Our granddaughters enjoyed playing in the creek, catching fire flies, &
pitching a play tent in the yard. Day trips to Asheville, watching sunsets on the parkway, hikes & time in the hot tub all made for a wonderful week of memories.

We look forward to returning in the fall when we can enjoy the fire pit by the creek.

Thanks again for sharing your lovely mountain retreat.

Family Vacation to be remembered

5 of 5
Submitted: May 23, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We had an amazing first visit to the Asheville area. We are so happy we "stumbled" upon your listing. Our family of 7 (with 3 teenagers and 2 twenty's along with their 50 something parents) had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful, very well maintained. The hot tub was extremely popular and the creekside unit gave our 20's children a place to stay that felt private. . .One of my favorite locations was the screened in porch where we shared breakfast together each morning. I enjoyed sitting and reading early in the morning before the family got up on the porch also. The fireplaces warmed us up nicely on some chilly nights. We were conveniently located to the Biltmore, downtown Asheville, the Mt. Pisgah Inn which was amazing and great horseback riding, along with amazing hiking. Yes, we squeezed all of that into our 5 days! We put this on our "will definitely return to" list.

Home...Everything and More!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 9, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Your home in the mountains was everything (and more) we could have hoped for….!
It was so private – and quiet. A great gathering place for our all-female-cousin reunion. As we had the ‘girls’ come from all over the country, the close proximity to the airport – was ideal - not to mention the Biltmore and shopping in Asheville – all 30 minutes away – which was GREAT.
THE BEDS…including the trundles – were all VERY comfortable. The BEST part of your entire home, however, was the porch on Creekside. We spent all our evenings on the porch – the large table and chairs accommodated all 11 of us. The grill proximity to the table was also special. Because we so enjoyed the porch – we never used the Jacuzzi or the fire pit.
I have already recommended this property …truly felt like a home … property sounds sterile. The house(s) were clean – and well-equipped…– Pots of all sizes!. You thought of everything – including nightlights strategically placed throughout the rooms.
Thank you for providing the venue for a wonderful weekend and family gathering place.

Mary.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your absolutely wonderful review! You make it such a pleasure for us to share our cabins with such terrific folks like yourselves! Have a fantastic summer. Jan and Keith

Best Nights Sleep!

Submitted: April 23, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful, peaceful home at Mountain High and Creekside with guests. The accommodations worked out perfectly! Everyone bragged about how comfortable their beds were and my dad said it was the best night’s sleep he has gotten in a long time. The screened in porch at Creekside was the favorite gathering spot of the whole clan and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The homes were everything the listing promised and much more. Everyone wants to come back!

Wish We'd Seen Your Charming Place Before...

Wish We'd Seen Your Charming Place Before...
Submitted: March 3, 2012 Stayed: November 2011
Yes...before we'd built our rustic log cabin in North Alabama, so I could have "borrowed" some of your clever and creative decorations and furnishings! In fact, I am going to sew curtains for my sunporch like the pullup(Roman shades)in your cabins. In spite of the weather, we enjoyed the quiet environment, the cozy fireplaces and comfortable rocking chairs. There's no way anyone could leave your property without regretting the end of a restful vacation.Thanks for making this possible. Robin

Jan, I can't thank you enough for letting us rent your beautiful mountain home. We had such a wonderful time. The daughters especially liked having Creekside all to themselves!
All of us slept so comfortably in the beds and the main house was so cozy. We had a wonderful time in Asheville seeing the Biltmore, having a spa day and enjoying a delicious brunch today at Tupelo Honey.Again, thank you so much for letting us enjoy your lovely home, i want to dream of hearing the creek!
