Almost Heaven is an amazing property! The house is very nice, super clean, and well stocked. The views are incredible and this was a perfect place for our family. We made trips to the Biltmore and downtown Asheville then retreated to the very quite paradise that is Almost Heaven.

Everything you might need for your stay
The cabin was well equipped with whatever you might need. The owner responded very quickly with my one question upon arrival. The cabin is not very close to much of the hiking trails, so expect lengthy drives. Overall, it is a nicely kept cabin that is also very spacious.

Third time visit for a girls retreat. Perfect location, lovely views, great times sitting outside joying the mountains. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we need for cooking and cocktails. Annette the hostess could not have been more helpful and easy to work with. It’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️in our book.!

Almost Heaven
It lives up to its name! The views were breathtaking and the house was beautiful! The owners provided so many extras like games, key board, hammock etc. The only small thing was the water pressure was a bit low and the road to the house a bit narrow and steep. I would still go back in a heart beat though! Thanks again!

Peaceful, comfortable, restful! Had everything we needed, and more. Drive up the Mountain not for sissy’s! Get groceries for your stay at Ingles in Black Mountain, fabulous supermarket. Should you decide not to venture one day, have enough food to manage for the day!

Family get together
Views from the property were beautiful, we even saw a rainbow on two nights while we were there. The house nicely accommodated our family. Communication and check in were very easy and the instructions were perfect. The ride to the house takes some time to get used to the uphill climb and narrow roadways. We had a wonderful time

This house was perfect! We went for a hike and a visit around Lake Lure, but our favorite time was sitting on the back porch and just talking. Owner’s instructions and list of things to do were very helpful. We would highly recommend.!

Amazing views!
Came up with a group of friends to celebrate my husband’s 50th anniversary. Chose the location because the photos in the listing were beautiful (and they are completely accurate) and it’s close enough to drive to places if you want to go do something. We went into Asheville and Black Mountain but we were all happy to head back to the house to hang out on the porch. We definitely want to come back. Annette was so sweet and helpful to work with.

Fabulous
Gracious, well appointed, calming, beautiful, comfortable, clean, overall most excellent. We wanted to be centrally located to as many waterfalls as possible. We were. We wanted to be in a quiet place with no light pollution. We were. We wanted views! We got them. My husband and I needed this getaway more than we knew...we got so much more than we asked for. The last couple of days our granddaughters joined us. They enjoyed the stay as much as we did. I just cannot gush enough. And the hosts! Super responsive to my emails, which were few because we didn't need to ask much of them at all. They had anticipated every single detail.

Incredible views!
This home was absolutely incredible, and the pictures do not do the view justice. We had a family trip with two little ones (2.5 years and an infant), as well as grandparents, and everyone fully enjoyed the stay. The home is further out from nearby cities, so heed the owner's advice and stop at the store on your way in! The drive to get to the top of the ridge takes some time, but is definitely worth it for the views. The basement with ping pong and foosball was an awesome, unexpected plus! We are certainly hoping to stay at this home again.
