Almost Heaven is an amazing property with incredible vistas. My family had a wonderful stay, and we plan to return in the future. Not only is the view spectacular, but it is very peaceful and healing to the soul. It was just what we needed!

“Almost Heaven” is a well-appointed cabin. Comfortable living spaces, well-stocked kitchen implements, a nice complement of recreational item (hot tub, pool table, dart board, corn hole, lots of kids toys and various games). Truly exceptional views. Our group consisted of 6 adults and 4 children (ages 3 to 5). We had a great time - there was plenty of space for us to enjoy the cabin together and room to be separate, if desired. 5 stars based on the group and what we wanted out of our experience. Some things to consider if you’re looking to rent this property: - Check-in instructions state that navigation apps won’t get you to the cabin; we did NOT find that to be true, but directions need to be loaded and started before getting off the highway or cell signal is spotty. - Be considerate of what vehicle you bring. Within the last 500 ft of the drive, there’s a very steep unpaved hill. 4WD trucks in our group did well. The front wheel drive minivan had to be towed up the last bit of the hill. This should not be a deal breaker if you’ve got an appropriately capable vehicle.

This is our 2nd time staying at Almost Heaven as a family of 9. It has become our favorite vacation spot. The house is cozy, spacious, well kept, and the views are AMAZING. It is evident that the owners take great care to make this a welcoming home for their guests. The kitchen is full of any appliances you will need as well as a grill. We were able to cook every meal for our 4 night stay. The hot tub was very clean and gives a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. We appreciated all the firewood supplied for the firepit so we could roast marshmellows with the kids. A few tips for visitors: there are a few steep roads coming up to the cabin. I would definitely recommend 4 wheel drive for an easier ride up. Watch your kids closely while they are outside. We saw a rattle snake near the back porch. (Obviously, you are out in nature and its their home) but it definitely gave us a scare the 1st day. Just make sure you check your surroundings, especilaly if youre visiting in the summer! If you're on the fence about this cabin, DO IT!!! I promise you wont regret it. We had zero complaints both times we've visited.

This cabin was far better than the pictures provided. The views from the porch made us not want to leave for anything! And there were so many thoughtful amenities provided. The road up is challenging but very doable without snow or ice. Easily the best cabin we’ve stayed at in the TN/NC mountains area.

Almost Heaven is aptly named. The views from deck are incredible!! We had a small issue upon arriving but our host quickly rectified it. The kitchen was well equipped and with the distance from the grocery store you will be cooking. This house is approximately 30 minutes from Bryson City. We enjoyed riding the great Smokey Mountain Railroad,zipping, horseback riding and whitewater rafting. We will definitely be staying here again!!
