2025 Carverfest Rate Calculator.xlsx The rate calculator for this year is above for download. Our contact is Candace Moore. I do not have a specific number for her, but I will post when I do. In the meantime, call the Stonewood Cabins number and ask for her. The number is 828-222-0802. Most people have stated their intent to exercise options. If you have not you have until May 15 to do so or the cabins will be opened up to others. Reservations must be made with Stonewood and deposit paid by June 15. I think the balance is due 4 or 6 weeks before arrival. Thanks, and please let me know if there are questions. Ed

I am delighted to put your names on Treehuse C. I am glad you decided to make the trip.

I have made that change

Rob, Thank you for your comments. We would love to see you back this Fall. Ed

I have spoken to many of last year attendees, and most are coming back to the same cabins. I am sorry to say that Greg and Jenny will not make it and have asked that their Treehouse Cabin be released.

Hi Glenn, Welcome to the Carverfest Sound Room. I see you are a long-time member of the forum. We would love to have you join us at CF this year. I hope that some other past and regular attenders will jump in with their impressions and descriptions of CF. It is an event like no other I know of. In fact, the POLK people tried to copy it with their own Polk Fest a few years back but it did not catch on. It is very laid back time with very little structure. Take a look at the information online concerning Watershed Resort (Watershed Resort | Stonewood Cabins). This a collection of cabins that are within walking distance of each other and in a private area. There are very few structured events other than gatherings for fellowship and evening meals several of the nights. Different cabins will host the entire group. Not every cabin hosts and it is purely voluntary. During the days people wonder from cabin to cabin listening to tunes and the systems that many bring. My wife and I have been going for 11 of the 18 years and I am proud to say that I have made many lifelong friends. The vent runs officially for two weeks. Some stay longer and some just for a weekend. Others, PLEASE add your thoughts. Ed

Please use this thread to request cabins and ask general questions about reservations, etc. I have listed last year's attendee that will have dibbs. Please post your intent here or otherwise let me know by May 15 if you intend to repeat in your cabin.

We are starting the planning for CF2025. The official dates are 9-3-25 through 9-17-25. We will gather at Watershed Resort in Bryson City. This will be 19th consecutive year. Watch the soundroom. I will soon post the Cabin Reservation pages and other information. We do not have the rental rates yet but will soon.

Yes. Glad they are coming.

Hi Everyone, I heard from Peggy, Bob Carver's wife, yesterday. I am delighted to report that she and Bob are still set to attend!! Ed

Excellent - Glad you are coming!!!! If Treehouse A was open that is great. Just be aware that unless all four Treehouses are occupied by CF people, music must be kept to a low volume.
