Waldhaus Resort is a special place surrounded by the Pisgah National Forrest. Pure nature close to a thriving metropolitan area. We offer the Sawmill and the Summit! I have been an engineer, corporate executive and world traveler all my life. Born and raised in Switzerland I speak German, French, English and a little Spanish. My passion is the outdoors, hunting, fishing and cooking . My other calling is to entertain people which share the same passions. That’s why I created the Waldhaus resort. During the past years, the Sawmill has become my favorite place to spend quality time in what I call "Cabin Living" which I love so much. Nearly every day there is a small challenge, nothing comes easy, but all the coziness and comfort is there.  The water is supplied by a spring above the mill. Electricity is generated by solar technology and a generator. All refrigeration and cooking appliances are propane; and so is the basic heat (propane again) - and a very old Jotul wood stove will do the rest. I sleep a lot on the day bed in the living room so the Sawmill can be comfortably rented for up to 4 guests. The outhouse is a thing of the past, just recently I installed a compositing toilet besides the bedroom. We also offer The Summit which is a high elevation, 2-story cabin surrounded by national forest which has evolved into an off-grid living and play space located at nearly 3300 feet elevation on a 1/2 acre flat with an incredible view. There are very private old forest service trails leading directly into the Pisgah National Forest.

The Summit Cabin

99% (146)
Cabin · Sleeps 4
The Summit is a high elevation, 2-story cabin surrounded bordering the Pisgah National Forest. The cabin was designed to give shelter while logging and hunting in the National Forest, but since has evolved into an off-grid living and play space, located at nearly 3300 feet elevation on a 1/2 acre flat with an incredible view. There are very private old forest service trails leading directly into the Pisgah National Forest. To get to the cabin, it’s a 15 minute uphill and very steep hike. One must have solid mountain hiking gear (especially hiking boots), -and walking sticks are highly recommended too. It’s important that you arrive before dark to check in. Weather permitting, I will assist with my UTV to help transport supplies to the cabin. Your vehicle(s) be parked near the trailhead at the Sawmill.

"The Sawmill"

During the past years, the Sawmill has become my favorite place to spend quality time in what I call "Cabin Living" which I love so much. Nearly every day there is a small challenge, nothing comes easy, but all the coziness and comfort is there.  The water is supplied by a spring above the mill. Electricity is generated by solar technology and a generator. All refrigeration and cooking appliances are propane; and so is the basic heat (propane again) - and a very old Jotul wood stove will do the rest. The kitchen is of good size and fully functional (I do at times entertain up to 6 friends/guests there for cocktails and full meals. The dining/living room can easily accommodate such gatherings. The bedroom has a full bed (under)/twin bed (top) set up.  A sink,  shower and cloth storage is in that room too. I sleep a lot on the day bed in the living room so the Sawmill can be comfortably rented for up to 4 guests. The outhouse is a thing of the past, just recently I installed a compositing toilet besides the bedroom.
