Nice quick stay. Loved seeing bunnies, deer, chipmunks, and groundhogs in the yard. Had trouble using the entry code upon arrival- took many attempts. Inside was clean, but porches and outdoor furniture looked like they hadn’t been touched in months. Lots of leaves and spiders. Window units had trouble cooling the upstairs, but it was a hot weekend. Overall, we enjoyed it.

We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed this beautiful cabin! Very rustic feeling and it was lovely soaking in the hot tub and then curling up by the fire. This cabin is in a great location to go horseback riding nearby and snow tubing. Our whole family had such a blast and we will remember this trip forever!

Perfect fall weekend

We loved our stay at Almost Heaven! It was clean and cozy and had plenty of space for 4-6 people. Quiet and secluded area but close enough for a 15 minute drive to downtown Boone. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Mountain Cabin

This was a great place for 3 couples to stay for a weekend mountain getaway. Beautiful views-plenty of room to hang out and play cards, close to downtown. Very clean! We enjoyed the hot tub as well. We will definitely be back as this is a yearly getaway for us. Loved everything about it.
