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!!

Almost Heaven was the most beautiful, scenic cabin we have ever been to. The 20+ minute ride up the curvy, winding roads up the mountain is well worth it! The cabin was clean, spacious, and perfectly situated for the most breathtaking sunsets. Every switch in the home is labeled so you know exactly which one to use. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook any meal. Even the cabinet doors and drawers are labeled for your convenience. The headboards have USB ports in them so you won't have to struggle to plug in your phone charger behind the bed. A HUGE bonus! And... all four (two upstairs, two downstairs) double-reclining couches have USB ports in them, as well as the kitchen island outlet! The bathrooms are fully stocked with more than enough towels, hand soap, blow dryer, and toilet paper. The instant hot water heater made it so we never ran out of hot water. There is more than ample seating on the large wrap around upper deck, including two hanging porch swings, an outdoor fireplace, propane grill, and a gas glass rock firepit. It also looked as though there might be a hammock and more chairs to be used in the warmer months. The hot tub on the lower level is clean and seats 5-6 people. The billiards table and dart board kept several of us occupied for hours on end. A ping pong table is also available. We enjoyed it so much that we wished we had booked a longer stay. We are looking forward to coming back next year!
