Absolutely amazing stay at Almost Heaven. From the amazing kitchen to the rolling creek out back, the property was ideal! Not only for us humans, but my pups loved all the special pet friendly items for them as well.
This property was absolutely perfect! We enjoyed our time very much and can't wait to go back!

Another Wonderful Stay!
This was our 5th stay at this beautiful rental that feels like home to us. Location is beautiful and relaxing. Love sitting on the deck over the creek and fires in the firepit. Home is comfortable and clean. Kitchen is well stocked and has every small appliance you could possibly need. Will definitely return - as this is now a yearly destination for us. Highly recommend!
Fantastic property, we thoroughly enjoyed the home and the waterside sitting area. Creek was gorgeous. Home was clean and had everything we needed and more. Loved it!
Very peaceful by the stream. House was very well appointed and comfortable. Close to offer short day trips and relaxing evenings. We loved this place and will be back.

Beautiful home, great location
This was the perfect home for our north Georgia vacation! The location was easily accessible, in a quiet area and close to everything we needed. The home had everything we needed and more, and was very clean. We felt right at home! We also appreciated the large deck and gated outdoor area.
Beautiful cabin with breathtaking view of babbling brook. Offered every amenity desired, including treats for our fur babies. We'll definitely be back.
This is a beautiful cabin in an even more beautiful location. Cabin was decorated to perfection. Could have spent a week just setting on the deck watching and listening to creek. If we ever decide to go back to this area this is where we will stay.
This was truly the perfect place to relax and unwind! The view is gorgeous, the home is gorgeous, the sound of the creek rushing over the waters was so peaceful, and it is only a short drive to the town of Ellijay. Truly the perfect getaway!

Peace and Quiet
Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our favorite part was sitting in Creekside, watching the deer pass by every evening.

Almost Heaven
From the minute we arrived and saw the beautiful house and the creek in the backyard, we were in awe. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway.
Modern design, clean/fresh, nicely decorated & furnished with all the essentials plus more in a relaxing mountain setting with the sound of a rushing stream… we will return!
Must add: our pup thoroughly enjoyed the deck and fenced yard
This is no fault of property owner whom we never spoke to or contacted via VRBO. We will never book another property managed by Evolve. They confirmed prior to booking that the property had a fenced yard for our two active boxers. This was our main priority because we had no plans to go out and about, strictly wanted to enjoy the property, wildlife and creek. I had to take the dogs out in the dark every night, sometimes at 2am with flash light , scared to death that I would have a run in with a dangerous animal. Immediately at checkin I called the host and she communicated the issue with Evolve. They finally took down the fence photo and admitted it was their responsibility entirely. They stated in beginning that recent storm had damaged the fence. We booked months in advance and they had no issues reaching out for timely payments but never mentioned any issues with fence. I had to keep asking for an update. Finally on the fifth day they advised they would issue a 62 and change refund. Unacceptable when Pet fee was 90 and we paid over 2k for six nights. Evolve later mentioned the fence had been gone for sometime.
