Beautiful Home Beautiful View

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The views were just as amazing as they are in the pictures. The home had everything we needed and Rachel was super responsive every time we reached out to her. When we come back to the area we will definitely stay again! 6 stars if we could.

Perfect Cabin!

We booked this cabin for a small bachelorette trip weekend for my sister, and absolutely loved it! The place was so beautiful and stocked with amenities; we barely wanted to leave! The property manager, Rachel, was so absolutely lovely and just a gem to communicate with. She was just so kind and understanding. I would most absolutely book this place again and highly recommend it to anyone considering it, and even those who aren't!!

Lovely weekend family retreat

Everything in this listing is exactly as advertised. The cabin is great and we especially appreciated the spectacular view and sunsets. And having paved roads all the way is comforting for Blue Ridge novices. The hosts are amazingly responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

The Perfect Place for a Group Gathering

This is our second time staying at Almost Heaven, and the name is perfect! The three living areas, each with their own bathroom, was perfect for our group. The kitchen was well appointed and clean with ample counter space. Entry into the property was electronic, and worked every time. Rachel is a very gracious host who worked to meet our every need. She provides a notebook with numerous places of interest in the Blue Ridge area.There is no way to fully describe the beauty of the view from the back porch. We had to leave a day early to go home because of the likelihood of snow and ice. The roads to the cabin are all paved and have a couple of steep grades. We will definitely book Almost Heaven again, and we will encourage others in our circle of friends and coworkers to book Almost Heaven for this visits to the Blue Ridge area.

Beautiful lodge in the forest

The house is large and comfortable. The only problem we had was we’re all old and the stairs were difficult for us. But we had a great time exploring the area, making a fire to enjoy outside, and doing water colors of the surrounding area. This place has literally everything you could need from linens to dishes, coffee makers to blankies in the living room to snuggle up. We’d definitely recommend this place especially to enjoy the fall foliage.

Excellent stay

We had 3 adults and two teenage boys with us. There was plenty of room for us. The boys enjoyed the loft with the twin beds and private bath. My Mom stayed on the main floor and my husband and I had the basement. It was so easy to leave. Many places have you strip beds and put towels in a central location. We were able to just pack up and leave. There were plenty of things to do and the view was just breath taking. There was a fire pit but we did not use it. We will hopefully be back next year.

What a terrific place!

We were a little early for foliage but we had a great time anyway. Almost Heaven is just that! Only a few minutes outside of BR on a hillside with a gorgeous early morning and sunset view. The cabin had plenty of space for the 4 of us. The kitchen was more than we needed, Wifi was strong and the TV's had streaming and a solid Dish package. In all of the bedrooms, the mattresses were terrific and there were plenty of bedding options. Like the bedrooms, all 3 bathrooms were spacious and complete. The deck was huge, the hot tub was great and the fire pit setup was perfect. Would we return? Absolutely!

Great stay, well stocked, awesome communication

Above all, the communication with the property manager, Rachel, was some of the best I've ever experienced. She gave an abundance of information regarding the house and surrounding area. She left a personalized note and gift (what?!) from a local business (a jar of apple butter -- I *love* apple butter) waiting for us when we walked in. And overall, just made the welcome that much more sweeter. We were only at this house for the weekend, but we wish we could have stayed longer. This is one of the most well-stocked rental houses we've ever stayed in. Not just for the kitchen, but also the bathrooms and the laundry room, and with plenty of beach towels for the hot tub and rafting. Plenty of room for 5 adults. The decks were amazing to sit out on for the two mornings we were there, drinking coffee and spying on the wildlife. It was a wonderful short stay, and we highly recommend this rental.

Almost Heaven

Almost Heaven is a very spacious cabin with a gorgeous view, a wraparound deck and lovely sunset views. The host had excellent communication with us and answered all of our questions. We had a very peaceful stay and would recommend it anyone looking for a calm getaway. It’s private and quiet yet close enough to drive around to the different towns in the area.

Great Views & Cozy Home

We loved our stay at this cabin. Everything was as described. It was well stocked even though we had brought things like spices and extra towels and laundry detergent and napkins, etc. the rooms were cozy and the beds were comfortable. We have stayed many beautiful places and the beds would not be comfortable, these definitely were. There was plenty of room for our 4 kids (2 teens) and one grandma, too. We enjoyed the screened in porch morning and night and used the hot tub a few times. I only wish there had been more lighting at the hot tub, but other than that, this cabin had all the comforts of home. The laundry room was a nice thing to have with such a large family. If we were in the area again we would definitely stay there again. We even loved the neighborhood and went on a few walks while we were there and met some neighbors.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Romo

Host profile image
I enjoy the peaceful serenity and awe that the mountains inspire. Being in nature helps still and quiet my soul, even in the most turbulent seasons. ALMOST HEAVEN allows us to open our home to share the beauty and the awe of the mountains with others.

Why they chose this property

After years of looking for a cabin that was "perfect" for our family, we met Frank and Nancy and found their lovely cabin called ALMOST HEAVEN. As the previous owners, Frank and Nancy facilitated the gathering and memory-making moments for many guests over many years. We hope to continue this legacy and open our home for you to enjoy! After all, these views MUST be shared!

What makes this property unique

We love the screened in porch for relaxing in the evenings and the deck for a morning coffee. The incredible space around the home, including the circle driveway provides ample room for our three children to run and play outside.
