Summertime! Summertime! We are booking now for August and September! Escape to our cool mountaintop cabin for fun with friends and family.

The cabin's open floor plan has plenty of space and light spread over 3 levels allowing your group to spread out and relax!

Peaceful bliss

What a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful house with wonderful views. Hostess pampered us with thoughtful amenities and very clean. We sat outside on back deck and listened to the creek and birds, and a turkey. I needed this!

Wonderful birthday trip!

Took a girls trip for my birthday and we had a fantastic time! About 20 minutes from the city which is perfect if you want to stay in a cabin in the mountains. Clear instructions were given on how to get there. For sure need a 4 wheel drive vehicle but very manageable. My only note is that sound travels throughout the cabin so any noise (tv, music or conversation) can be heard clearly in just about every bedroom. Didn’t bother us much as we were there for a good time but might not be suitable for sensitive sleepers.

Almost Heaven was almost Heaven

Great location to nearby Asheville on a mountain complete with its own trail and stream adjacent to the property. Accomodations were as described and the Hosts had everything labelled for easy access and enjoyment for the week we stayed. It is a cabin but was very comfortable and cozy. Great fun for a Spring Break!

Perfect cozy cabin

Wende has thought of everything! The cabin is stocked with extra personal touches that helped make our stay even more memorable. She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with, especially when our travel plans hit a snag. She was very accommodating! We would stay again without hesitation.

Wonderful cabin a short distance from Asheville

We loved Almost Heaven! The cabin is immaculate, well-stocked, well-organized and so charming. The setting is stunning -- we especially loved the hiking trail that leads right from the parking pad. Highly recommended! One thing I'd note for future guests: there are three bedroom spaces, but only one of these has a door. The loft space has a nice screen to create more privacy, but it is open to the living room below and anything happening in either space can be easily heard in the other. The large primary bedroom takes up most of the downstairs level; the stairs down to this level drop you right into the primary bedroom. There is a door to the small bedroom, which shares a "jack and jill" bathroom with the primary bedroom, but there's no door between the stairs and the primary. Everything is beautiful and worked fine for us, but don't expect much privacy between the spaces.

Beautiful and quiet cabin in the woods.

We were there for our daughters destination wedding in Asheville. Just a 25 minute beautiful drive away. Secluded but safe neighborhood. We enjoy having our coffee on the porch and hearing the leaves fall to the ground. The owners were wonderful and surprised us with a welcome bottle of wine and note.

Great cabin!

Great remote location for a cabin. About a 20-25 minute drive into downtown Asheville, depending on traffic. Very easy check in process and very accommodating host. We had a college reunion about 20 years after graduating and had an amazing time in this cabin. Great walking trail, fire pit and plenty of places to sleep!

The cabin couldn't have been more "prepared" for our stay and I can't think of one thing I would change. Great cabin, beautiful scenery (complete with a few bears), and good people! Also, as a doctor I was very impressed by the extensiveness of the first aid kit! Thank you

Cozy and secluded forest location, but close to all the attractions❤️

This is our second family stay at the Almost Heaven Cabin and it won’t be our last! It just works for us-from the comfortable beds and multiple seating areas to the well equipped kitchen (including balcony grill and seating area) and the upgraded trail just steps from the cabin. Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Biltmore and restaurants/shopping are all just a short drive away. Wende is easy to work with and all requests will receive a prompt reply! Thank you! Suffice to say, we are Big Fans of this property!

Family Fun

We had a great time at this wonderful cabin. It was perfect for the 5 of us. The amenities available at this house was over the top. The house was beautifully decorated with a lot of nice touches. Everything was labeled so everything was easy to find. The small labels in no way took away from the aesthetic of the decor. We came to Asheville to specifically see the Biltmore House. This cabin was very convenient to the Biltmore Estate as well as downtown Asheville. We truly enjoyed our long weekend. We would stay here again!

Truly fitting of its name

My wife and I, along with my in-laws and a wonderful weekend at Wende's cabin! From just sitting on the back porch listening to all the different birds to enjoying the fire pit, this truly was Almost Heaven and one of the most therapeutic experiences I've had in the mountains in some time. I cannot recommend this cabin enough. Check in was so easy and we had everything you could possibly need. Would stay here again and again.

ALMOST HEAVEN CABIN IS SUPERIOR

My sisters and I visited Biltmore Estate and Omni Grove Park Inn as our Christmas Adventure. We chose this cabin to include an up close and personal look at the mountains. We were pleasantly surprised by the amenities and attention to detail this host provides for her guests; amazing furnishings and superior beds. Everything you need when traveling was there! The most amazing aspect was the cleanliness!! We are in awe of that and the interior decor!!! We hope to return someday!!!

Almost Heaven, North Carolina

The cabin was lovely. The communication with the owner was punctual and helpful. The first two things that impressed me: 1) The decor and amenities. They were not worn or outdated. The decor seemed to be precisely designed and well decorated for the enjoyment of guests. 2) Cleanliness. This place was spotless! The other thing that we loved was the location. It was tucked away in the mountains and a short drive to Asheville. We enjoyed sitting “in the trees”. It was almost heaven.

About the host

Hosted by wende kimble

My husband and I have lived in Asheville for 20 years. We love the mountains and the fresh air and open spaces. We like hiking with our dogs and eating great Asheville food.

Why they chose this property

It's very private in the woods but close to everything. The cabin is quiet with lots of wildlife including bears, deer, bobcats, and raccoons to name a few. The cabin is in a beautiful setting with a pastoral drive passing farms and cows and spread-out neighborhoods. Hard to believe it is so close to downtown and all the activities that Asheville has to offer!

What makes this property unique

Hiking right out the front door. Lots of nature surrounding the cabin and very private and quiet. It's convenient to all things Asheville though making it a great home base while you explore.
