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.

Our Family Reunion

Submitted: March 9, 2010 Stayed: July 2009
Our family reunion was a huge success! We had it catered...even better! Everyone loved roasting marshmallows down at the firepit and picking fresh raspberries from the abundant producing bushes nearby.

The screened porch was terrific for family meal time. Enjoyed watching the flitting hummingbirds.

Birthday Celebration and Reunion

Submitted: March 9, 2010 Stayed: July 2009
What a wonderful place to celebrate my 60th birthday. My family surprised me with a trip to Mountain High and Creekside and we had a ball! You gave us the perfect place to play and rest and relax. Your whole place is comfortable, welcoming and so quiet. The porch at Creekside is perfect. Thank you so much.

Hi Jan,

We did enjoy our stay in Asheville. Your cabin was very comfortable and clean. I've been meaning to email you sooner but I came home with an unwanted bug. I feel better today and was happy to hear from you.

All in all it was very relaxing. The amenities were excellent and we were very surprised with all the linens and soaps and things.The wedding was beautiful and quite memorable.
The kids(I still call them kids) were very happy with the internet availability.

Jan and Keith, We had a wonderful time at your mountain home! What a surprise for the one sister on her birthday. All eight brother's and sister's were there to greet her as she pulled into the drive. The creek was fantastic and the firepit was a special place to roast marshmellows and hotdogs. We all gathered each evening in creekside for meals and a game of pool.
Coming home from the mountain one evening two dogs followed us back and after contacting the owner, found out they were BEAR hunting dogs. You can't find that just anywhere!
We hired a professional photographer to come up to the cabin on Saturday and found so many wonderful places to have family pictures taken. Although the creek was cold some could not resist having their picture taken IN the creek! Anything anyone could possibly want was available at your wonderful and cozy home.
Thank you so much for allowing us to visit. Hopefully we will be returning soon.

Hi, Jan,
Our family had a WONDERFUL time at Mountain High and Creekside. It was a beautiful setting and there was something for each of us to enjoy. Our 4 and 3 year old "grands" really liked the creek and the campfire.
My husband and son really enjoyed the pool table, and it was fun listening to them make up the rules as they played. We hiked along the trail off 151 but didn't get too far with the little ones.

We really enjoyed the pictures showing the stages of the home's development. You've really worked hard to have a great place. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Home-Away-From-Home

Thank you, Keith and Jan, for sharing your home-away-from-home with us. We had a great time while we were there in August. We enjoyed opening the double-doors at Creekside so that we could enjoy the screened porch and listen to the creek. That was also where you would find me early in the morning enjoying the sunrise. My kids had fun turning over rocks in the creek during the day and roasting marshmallows over the fire in the evenings. We found this to be an ideal place to spread out and relax after a nice hike.

Dear Jan and Keith,

Thanks so much! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. With so much family in the area, there wasn't a dull moment! And your beautiful place was the focus of many family gatherings. And yes, my 90 year old mom was thrilled with the home and the weather. Even though it's a rural setting, it still seemed close to all one needs. Count on us for next year!
