It is a peaceful place surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest.
vacation in October 2005. We really liked what the area offered and it seemed like the perfect get away for a weekend as we headed for Savannah. We came away very impressed. The peace and quite, the mountains, and the forest just will engulf you, just like the Joshua Warren mentioned on the travel channel. A story presented on there was of a black man named Raymond who many, many years ago who would get together, play cards and drink moonshine with a white neighbor friend and his wife at their cabin on the mountain. wife. Weather Raymond did or did not, I guess we really don't know. But as the story is told, the combination of moonshine and a jealous husband lead to deadly events. The neighbor took Raymond out on a hunting trip and when the opportunity presented itself, he shot him in back and killed him. It is said, that Raymond's ghost possibly haunts the area up on the mountain around the cabins. We were told by the owners, that many strange things have been reported by guests around The Oak and Creekside cabins. thing unusual that happened our first morning there. I awoke around 4:30 the first morning to the sound of footsteps downstairs walking over the wooden floor, loud enough that it woke me up. I glanced over thinking it may have been Lisa that had went on down to fix breakfast. However she was sound asleep.
visit and we certainly plan on staying there again. There is always a sense of being watched and a majestic feeling to the area. As far as being creepy, I'd have to rank this in the top three of places we have visited. However creepy though, does not make a place haunted. I did feel uneasy several times exploring in and around the cabins and that is unusual for me for that rarely happens. I did enjoy it though! Would I go back? You betcha!!!  More Graystone Pictures
