Nice cabin home, lots of room, nice spa, large deck, with fireplace and wood stove. Less than 10 min. walk to restaurants, store, etc. The home had books, games, and puzzles in abundance to enjoy.
Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you had a great stay up until the power outage. Unfortunately, the outage was out of our control and caused by high winds in the area. We apologize for any inconvenience and are reviewing our contingency measures to better support our guests during unexpected situations. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll consider staying with us again.
We loved this cabin! The deck is huge and has a great view of the tall beautiful trees. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was stocked with all the items we needed for cooking, and the cabin was very clean! We would stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Almost Heaven! The house was beautiful and cozy, full of all necessities. The deck was the place to be though! The scenery, the mountain air, the stars at night made gathering with family on the very spacious deck, all the more enjoyable. The trail behind the house made going into town or to the playground with kids so easy and convenient! We will stay here again the future. It easily accommodates large families

Reviewer Comments:
Our group of eight had an absolutely wonderful stay at Almost Heaven! The accommodations were perfectly laid out for our group. The recent backyard improvements were truly fantastic and was our favorite spot. It was the perfect blend of a relaxing retreat and a convenient home base. We will be back! The management company was incredibly responsive and promptly addressed a billing question we had during our stay.
Our group of ten women ranging in age from 23 to 80 to celebrate our birthdays enjoyed brunch on the expansive deck every morning with mimosas, birdsong and laughter - so beautiful and good for our souls! We walked to town, crossing the small creek, in minutes, and watched swarming ladybugs. It was a perfect three days and we only wished we could stay longer.
This home was perfect for a relaxing getaway for our two families. Comfortable sleeping and plenty of space to hang out. It was an easy walk into town and loved the sound of the creek just behind the cabin. We’ll definitely be back!

We can’t wait to return and had such a lovely time. The team was very responsive to any questions we had. Views are unreal in the backyard. Breakfast on the patio in the morning is a must!

This was a great house for 6 adults and a couple little kids. We loved all the seating options throughout the house, games that were available, and the hot tub! I wish we had more time to enjoy the patio and property, but I have a feeling we will be back!

The amount of paperwork needed to stay here is a bit silly but it’s a nice place. The young man that came over to fix a few things was fantastic. All in all, a nice place to stay
We had a great stay here, plenty of space for the 8 people. The view from the jacuzzi is gorgeous looking out over the deck into the forest. The kitchen was well stocked. Quick walk to the town. Perfect house and we'll stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Almost Heaven! The home was even better in person than photos - we loved the layout and the overall design was cozy and perfect for a stay in the mountains. The large deck also exceeded expectations and the kids in our group enjoyed the property access to a small creek in the backyard. We took advantage of the hot tub and BBQ grill, both of which were conveniently located on the back deck. Overall a wonderful stay and would love to come back another time!
