The hot tub was wonderful and I love the lights. The kitchen had everything we needed. We used the fire pit and roasted marshmallows. So much fun!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the hot tub and the lights and they really made the space feel special for you. It’s great to know the kitchen had everything you needed and that you got to make some marshmallow‑roasting memories around the fire pit. Sounds like a wonderful stay, and I’m glad you had so much fun! We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
In the words of my three year old grandson, “This is the best house ever!”. We were 100% pleased with the house, the owner’s easy directions, and especially the patio area with the most peaceful view for perfect relaxation. A Little Piece of Heaven certainly described this property to a T. Beyond being spotless, beds were comfortable, and everything is in good shape and working order. Steven and Sue truly kept visitors in mind with all the extra touches like labeling the light switches. Thank you for opening your home to our family for a lovely stay.

Thank you so much for this heartwarming review, Kerry! Your grandson’s words absolutely made our day. Hearing “This is the best house ever!” from a three‑year‑old is just about the highest praise we could hope for.
We’re delighted that Peace of Heaven lived up to its name for your family. Knowing the home felt spotless, comfortable, and easy to settle into means a lot to us. We put a lot of care into the small touches, so it’s wonderful to hear they made your stay even smoother. And that peaceful view really is something special and we’re glad you were able to enjoy it.
It’s an honor to host families like yours, and we’re truly grateful you chose our home for your getaway. We’re even more excited to welcome you back in December at Creekside Quarters.
Thank you again for your kindness and for taking the time to share your experience.
Very kind and responsive owners. Looking forward to booking in the summertime.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Tony. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we’re thrilled to hear they had a great experience. We’d love to welcome you back in the summertime and look forward to having you stay with us again. You all were lovely guests!
The place was very nice and clean! It was very peaceful and the kids really enjoyed the kids room! We will definitely come back. The only thing was a bit annoying were the stank bugs flying around. There were several but I guess they were trying to get out of the cold weather as well! I definitely give this place 5/5 and the owners were very easy to communicate with! Love love loved our stay!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you and your family had such a great stay at Peace of Heaven and that the kids enjoyed the kids’ room!
Those pesky stink bugs do occasionally try to sneak inside when the weather turns cold here in the mountains. While they’re harmless, we know they can definitely be a bit annoying, and we do our best to keep them at bay. Thanks for being understanding about it 🙂
We truly appreciate your kind words about the cleanliness and communication, and it means a lot that you’d come back again. We’d absolutely love to host you and your family at Peace of Heaven anytime!
Host was extremely welcoming, and everything was in perfect condition.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that Peace of Heaven was the perfect fit for your trip and that you enjoyed being so close to Bryson City. It’s always great to know when guests feel right at home. We’d love to welcome you back anytime — hopefully for a longer stay next time.
We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental. The mountain views were absolutely stunning and made every morning feel special. The location was incredibly convenient—close to everything we needed while still feeling peaceful and tucked away. Roasting s’mores with my kids and relaxing in the hot tub at sunset were special memories. The home itself was spotless and very well cared for, which made it easy to relax right away. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the kindness of the owner. When our Jeep broke down and had to be towed to a repair shop, the owner Steven went out of his way to give us a lift back to the vacation home. That level of generosity and care is rare and deeply appreciated.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

We had a wonderful stay at Peace of Heaven! The house was immaculately clean and by far the best kept vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in. The amenities were fantastic — we especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit in the evenings. What really made the experience unforgettable were the stunning mountain views right from the property.

We had a great time at Peace of Heaven! Our family loved staying in the cabin on the mountain with the incredible views and wonderful amenities. Everything was easy to find and the beds were comfy and inviting. Our children loved the bunk beds and selection of toys and we loved the highchair and kid friendly dishes and utensils. We will definitely return if find ourselves in the area again. (Unrelated, the Polar Express was a great time for our kids and the train museum was a hit, too! The hosts were very helpful in pointing us toward some other experiences in the area that were kid friendly too!) We definitely recommend a stay at Peace of Heaven! You won’t regret it!

We were blown away by the beauty of Peace of Heaven and it's surroundings. This beautiful cabin is stunning indoors and out. Our hosts were so nice, and even called us personally when we had a question. This was my first experience with a VRBO property, but it won't be my last. This was far superior to any other vacation rental platform I've used previously. I would give thia property 10 stars if I could.

Thank you, Jonathan! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed our home and had a great time. It was a pleasure hosting you and I'd be thrilled to welcome you back anytime. Safe travels!
We were so lucky to find this property! It's rare to find somewhere that offers a one night stay and that's all we needed for the Polar Express trip. The location is great- out of the way with a great view and no neighbor noise or light pollution, but still close to town. great size for us to bring the kids and grand parents for the train. The review asked about skiing.. I gave it a 5 but didn't apply. Just didn't want to doc stars for that.

And thank you for noting the skiing question — not sure why the review asked about skiing. We really appreciate you not docking stars for something that doesn’t apply!
Thanks again! We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
We really enjoyed our stay. Property was super clean. Close to casino and many hikes. Plenty of activities at cabin for entertainment as well. Whole process was easy with clear instructions and friendly staff. Would stay again.
