  As soon as we entered Heavenly Haven, we knew this would not be our first stay. We have already booked another long weekend for this summer. Heavenly Havenly is wonderfully equipped to accommodate everything from a long weekend to an extended stay. I am originally from the Eagle Rock area and it was great to have my friends and family in the area stop by to visit for board games on a rainy Sunday in front of the fireplace to bbq dinners in the evenings. Everyone who stopped by fell in love with the cabin and some have already made plans for a stay of their own.

  Owner response: Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the nice review. We are looking forward to your return! Mike & Deanna

  This was our second stay. We love this place. It is cozy, comfortable, clean, secluded. Take a pretty drive in any direction and find fun things to do and great places to eat. We love just exploring while we are there. We'll definitely be back!

  Owner response: Glad to have you back!

  The photographs of "Heavenly Haven" truly do not do it justice. They cannot capture the smell of cedar and pine as one enters the cabin, the warmth of the log fireplace on a chilly fall night nor the soothing sound of the rapids of Craig's Creek. It was far more than we ever expected. The kitchen is supplied with all the tools a gourmet cook could expect and the whimsical decor captures the true spirit of the mountains. We shall return.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  When we were looking for a cabin in the mountains, and we had three requirements - that it be on the water, that it have a wood burning fireplace, and hopefully a king size bed. After hours of searching, we found Heavenly Haven which is 422 miles from our home in Williamsburg, Virginia. This retreat is the perfect get away for those who want to leave the city and have a "camping" retreat without the tent. This cabin is "upscale" in every aspect. With wood pine on the floors, walls and ceilings, the owners selected the perfect decor even the light fixtures are those seen in interior design showrooms. BUT the creek, which is as wide as a river, was the jewel of this trip. Every morning we would walk down to the creek and take in the fall beauty and the many persimmon trees which line the creek. While there we saw three migrating bald eagles, four does, three great blue herons, several juncos, and a phoebe, cardinal, Carolina wren, rufus towee, a little lizard, a belted kingfisher, and a six point buck swam across the river. So grab a glass of wine and sit by the river each evening and await the show. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin. Also Jeff caught a brook trout at Roaring Run!

  A hidden gem - we didn't want to leave at the end of the week! The cabin was immaculate and cozy, especially with a fire in the hearth. The trees were in peak autumn colors and the creek was clean and clear. This is the stuff of existentialist literature. There was no lack of wildlife - within the first 48 hours of arrival we had already seen 3 raccoons, 2 opossum, and at least a dozen deer, some of which walked across the creek right in front of my husband. If we lived closer I would rent this place several times a year. Recommendations: Refill the tank and buy groceries before you leave the interstate because there are few gas stations/stores once you get into the heart of the forest. Dining at the Swinging Bridge Restaurant and General Store in Paint Bank which has live bluegrass music on Thursday evenings. The Hoop Hole Trail just up the road for miles of wonderful hiking. Otherwise, enjoy the view, the peace and quiet, and dissolve in serenity.

  Owner response: Thanks so much for the wonderful review. We look forward to having you back! Mike & Deanna

  Well I was very sad to have to pack up and leave Sunday morning...I would've liked to call home and just have all of my belongings shipped to the Cabin and stay FOREVER!! It was PERFECT and exactly what we needed! The Cabin is SPECTACULAR with no detail left undone! We loved the fireplace so much we didn't even make it to the Master Bedroom to sleep we just pulled the sleeper sofa out and there we stayed. The fire and the decoration's lighting were wonderful, calming, relaxing and just a DREAM! I have told ALL my friends and family if they're looking for the perfect getaway THIS is the place for it....and I am planning another visit before the end of the year. Thank you so much for everything Ronda & Curtis

  Owner response: Ronda & Curtis, We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope to have you back soon! Thanks, Mike & Deanna

  Our first stay at Heavenly Haven and this "back to nature" vacation deep in the Shenandoah ranks as one of the best we've ever done. The cabin itself is strikingly beautiful inside and out - a real work of master craftsmanship nestled along Craig Creek. The owners have spared no detail in the appointments which offer a perfect balance of home comfort and rustic charm. With four young boys and a dog we were happy to discover all the natural delights in and around the area: canoeing, tubing, fishing, hikes...and lots more fishing (fantastic bass water just feet from the back door!) S'mores at the firepit were a must have and capped off the day's adventures to the happy symphony of crickets, bullfrogs and rushing water. Mike and Deanna have a true gem in a place that seems to escape time. The memories our boys made here will last a lifetime and we look forward to our next getaway at Heavenly Haven to make more!

  Owner response: It sounds like your family made some great memories at the cabin. Thanks for the wonderfully written review. We look forward to your return! Mike & Deanna

  My husband and I were looking for a beautiful, remote place where we could ride bikes, canoe, and enjoy the solitude of the forest but still have modern conveniences like wireless Internet so we could work during the day and play during the evenings and weekends. The cabin worked beautifully for our two- week stay. Extremely comfortable, nicely decorated and equipped with everything you could need. The woodwork throughout was gleaming and gorgeous. The screened porch with rocking chairs was a nice place to hang out when the occasional thunderstorm rolled through. Mike and Deanna were very helpful and welcoming. The upstairs loft would be a perfect place for kids or other guests. There was a good grocery store 10 miles away. Can't think of enough great things to say about this place and can't wait to go back!!

  Owner response: We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return! Mike & Deanna
