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.

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.

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!

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.
