Perfect Fit!
Our group of about 15 adults and 10 kids loved our weekend here. The view from the deck is wonderful, all the bedrooms were nice and accommodating, and there was plenty for the kids to do indoors and outdoors.
Amazing stay!!
The house was extremely roomy and very accommodating! Me and my family do a yearly trip to the mountain for the last 6 years and this is by far the best stay we have had! Definitely recommend this to everyone!
Thank you and your friends for choosing Heavenly Mountain Lodge. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Please consider us again for your vacation choice.

Great House at a Great Price
The Heavenly Haven house was perfect for a NYE getaway for our group, who was looking for a place to relax with relatively easy access to the slopes. The house was decorated beautifully for the holiday and offered ample space for all 24 guests visiting the location. The kitchen was well equipped for our group to provide meals for everyone and we never felt crowded throughout the house.
It snowed while we were there and non-4WD vehicles had issues getting up the hill but it was all cleared by morning with no problems. There was ample parking for all of our cars on site and it was incredibly easy to find.
Our only complaint was that it seemed that a cat lived at the house or had been at the house with guests prior to us. Several guests in our party have sever cat allergies so they were really suffering from lingering dander. If you have a cat allergy, I'd make sure to let the hosts know that in advance, as we didn't discuss this with them to confirm that this wouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for staying at Heavenly Mountain Lodge. We are glad that you had a great stay for Christmas and please come again.
Yes it is true that the property is Pet Friendly but with the following conditions; Pets that they are not allowed to go into the bedrooms upstairs at all or into any other area other rooms than the living room.
We have doors that remain closed to the rest of the house require that all guests prevent pets from going elsewhere other than the living room. Also we do charge a pet fee for extra cleaning of this area after any pets are in the house. The floors in the living room are hard wood and washed after each day to remove any pet dander and the couches vacuumed as well. We make an extra effort to make the property Pet Friendly and free from any pet dander. Contact us if you want more details.
We love Heavenly Mountain Lodge
This is a great place to stay for peace and quiet and just to enjoy family. This was our first family vacation in over five years. There's plenty of space for privacy yet lots of activities for family time together. It was decorated throughout the house for the season and that added a home-like feel to the place. The house was full stocked if you needed anything. The expansion was extremely helpful because of a vision impaired relative who wouldn't have been able to maneuver the stairs well so being able to stay down stairs was plus. The only complaint I heard was a few cold showers but when you have 22 people in the house that's somewhat understandable. I look forward to staying here again.
Thanks for the kind review. We've turned up the hot water heater to take care of the extra needs with much larger groups. Please come again.

Spectacular, great stay, can’t wait to go back!!
This place is STUNNING!!! The pictures don't do it justice.
My family rented this house for a family reunion, we slept 26 people comfortably. We had a great time. The house is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, that offered breathtaking views and spectacular picture taking opportunities. The cabin was furnished well and very clean. It was very nice having all modern amenities so that we could cook and do laundry while we were there. The house felt warm and cozy with the communal areas ideal for family discussions. The cabin included everything we needed. Bed linens and towels very provided, which was an added bonus because we had family members flying in to the reunion. Last thing they wanted to pack was bed linens and towels.
The house was very kid/children friendly. Plenty of toys, board games, activities, and electronic games for children of all ages. Within minutes of arriving kids were running around enjoying themselves playing "Hide n Seek."
Plenty of porch and decking to sit and enjoy family members talking and telling family stories. One of the family members utilize the fire pit on the porch. Which knock the chill off a cool night and allowed family members to enjoy the great outdoors.
We had such a great time staying there and would not hesitate to go back or to recommend this beautiful house to others. The property managers were very attentive, resourceful, and helpful. Our family was so blessed to stay here and we all have great memories of our time together in this beautiful place! You will have a good time here and you will have no regrets renting this home!

Loved this house!!
Our group of 30 plus loved staying in Heavenly Mountain Lodge. It is very spacious and there was no trouble accomodating our group with each having their own space. The house was so very comfortable and well equipped with everything one would need for an enjoyable, relaxing stay. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and plenty of blankets and pillows were provided. The children loved the pool table and foosball table, which gave the adults time to relax while they played. There is plenty of closet space, big nice bathrooms and the kitchen of my dreams!! I don't know how anyone could ever give this home anything but an excellent review! The location is convenient to Boone, Blowing Rock and the beautiful views from the parkway. Thank you to the owners for sharing your wonderful home with us!!
Sherry Harrison and Mt Pleasant Youth Group, Vass, NC
