About this property

Closer to Heaven COMBO - Free ATV Tours- Forest Loft in Serene Surroundings- 2

Free Activities Included Every Day! To enhance your vacation experience, free admissions are included every day of your stay to some of the most popular attractions the area has to offer such as the Biltmore, Smoky Mountain Railroad, white water rafting, jeep excursions, and more! Daily value of $250.

"Closer to Heaven" is the name of a COMBO unit consisting of 2 cabins that are close by each other and therefore popular to rent together accommodating large families, family reunions, and church or other groups. The details of each one of these homes can be seen on that unit listing, but this 'combo' listing shows an availability calendar in the combined state.

Thus, when either of the individual units is already booked, this combined unit will be blocked out and unavailable. However, when both of the units making up this combo are available, you can book Closer to Heaven, which means you are actually confirming BOTH the Firefly cabin and the Almost Heaven cabin at the same time and at a slightly discounted rate.

All bookings are subject to local restrictions in place at the time of the stay. We may not be allowed to accommodate all bookings that are made if local rules change after you make a booking. We make every effort to communicate current, local rules and any changes to them.

Wonderful

We rented both houses and it was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Nice and quiet, spacious, comfortable, well equipped. Loved the extra “den” rooms for the younger crowd to hang out and watch TV. Also enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. The location was so convenient to Nantahala, the Fontana Lake where we went swimming, deep creek tubing, and Bryson City for groceries. Watershed management company was great to work with as well. We were very happy with these houses and would definitely love to return here for another trip.

Absolute Paradise

We rented both cabins (Firefly and Almost Heaven) for my 40th birthday. I cannot possibly stress this enough: these cabins are glorious. Both are well appointed and spacious, comfortable, well insulated, and charming. The view is excellent from both for sunsets. The hot tubs are great. The fire pit is enormous. Do be aware that there is NO and I mean absolutely NO cell service, so get the wifi option if that's a problem for you. The drive up the mountain is terrifying the first time, so prepare yourself. There were excellent and loud fans in the bathrooms for shy poopers, insanely comfortable beds, and lots of space for 13 adults. We requested extra firewood and received it within an hour. An absolute dream for disconnecting from life and recharging your soul. Strongly and emphatically recommend. We will be back.
