Very nice property. Everything was great. We got in late and unfortunately none of us brought soap for the shower and it was too late to go back down the mountain that day. A small bar of soap might help other visitors. Thanks / we had a great. Is it.

What an absolute treat of a place to stay! The views are hands down some of the best I've ever seen with any house I've stayed at in the mountains and all my guests had the same thing to say upon arrival. The house was great, super clean, and suites all needs for the trip. The surrounding area was wonderful and it was very close to our destinations for the weekend activities. An added bonus, the owners are absolutely wonderful and their communication was top notch! They were so helpful with anything we needed and I hope others come to stay at this great getaway!

Beautiful views and sunsets! It’s on a ridge so the views were amazing on both sides of the house with several beautiful decks to enjoy them from. Nicely furnished. It had all the kitchen and bathroom necessities. Getting the gate cards was a bit tricky but they worked well once we found them. Annette was very responsive.

Couldn’t have found a better place!

Almost Heaven is an amazing property! The house is very nice, super clean, and well stocked. The views are incredible and this was a perfect place for our family. We made trips to the Biltmore and downtown Asheville then retreated to the very quite paradise that is Almost Heaven.

Great Family Spring Break Getaway!

Beautiful mountain home with breathtaking views! There was plenty of room for my family of four and my parents. The kitchen was well equipped and my seven year old daughter enjoyed the Ping pong table and foosball table in the basement. The owner is really easy to work with. There's so much to see and do around this area.

Davidson Friends Weekend 30th Anniversary

This house was perfect! We went for a hike and a visit around Lake Lure, but our favorite time was sitting on the back porch and just talking. Owner’s instructions and list of things to do were very helpful. We would highly recommend.!

Third time visit for a girls retreat. Perfect location, lovely views, great times sitting outside joying the mountains. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we need for cooking and cocktails. Annette the hostess could not have been more helpful and easy to work with. It’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️in our book.!

Everything you might need for your stay

The cabin was well equipped with whatever you might need. The owner responded very quickly with my one question upon arrival. The cabin is not very close to much of the hiking trails, so expect lengthy drives. Overall, it is a nicely kept cabin that is also very spacious.

Peaceful, comfortable, restful! Had everything we needed, and more. Drive up the Mountain not for sissy’s! Get groceries for your stay at Ingles in Black Mountain, fabulous supermarket. Should you decide not to venture one day, have enough food to manage for the day!

Family get together

Views from the property were beautiful, we even saw a rainbow on two nights while we were there. The house nicely accommodated our family. Communication and check in were very easy and the instructions were perfect. The ride to the house takes some time to get used to the uphill climb and narrow roadways. We had a wonderful time

Amazing views!

Came up with a group of friends to celebrate my husband’s 50th anniversary. Chose the location because the photos in the listing were beautiful (and they are completely accurate) and it’s close enough to drive to places if you want to go do something. We went into Asheville and Black Mountain but we were all happy to head back to the house to hang out on the porch. We definitely want to come back. Annette was so sweet and helpful to work with.
