My family and I stayed at the cabin for Christmas and thought it was the perfect place to get away while still being close to Asheville. We loved all the holiday touches!

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.

Meticulously appointed cabin, clean,comfortable beds, quiet/peaceful. Felt like home.
We drove out each day for hiking/touring and returned to this retreat for rest and relaxation in the evenings.

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.

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 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!

We really enjoyed our stay, plenty of space and peaceful surroundings. We had everything we needed and were close enough to the city so still convenient to go shopping etc. Would reccommend.

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

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!

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!

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.

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!!!

The owner was wonderful, so very kind and helpful. Our friends were delayed in checking in and she followed up personally with a call. Our guests loved every moment there! I highly recommend staying here!

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.

Met up with some friends for our annual trip to the mountains. The cabin had a ton of space, and we kept commenting that the owners have thought of everything a guest might need. We did some hiking on the trails nearby and went into Asheville a few nights. Highly recommend this location!

Cabin Trip
We had a great time staying at the cabin. It was surrounded by woods and with a pleasant creek flowing through the side of the property. The owner thought of the little things, like small toiletry items, popcorn and coffee. We spent Amos the entire time lounging on the back deck, grilling and watching the wildlife, etc. We would definitely recommend this cabin as a nice getaway and would stay there again!

The cabin was clean and well-appointed. It's obvious the owners care about and take good care of the cabin. It's a little far from town but that's exactly what we wanted. A quiet, cozy cabin in the woods. My only complaint was that there wasn't an ice cream scoop : )

Perfect Cabin!
This cabin was absolutely perfect for our birthday trip! It was extremely well organized and had just about anything you could need. We loved the decor and how cozy it was; there was plenty of room for our group of 5. The deck and views are amazing! Great for a glass of wine in the evening or morning coffee. We were about 30 minutes or less from everything we wanted to do (Biltmore, downtown/West Asheville, hiking). The driveway is a bit steep and has a couple switchbacks, but it's very well maintained and we were able to manage it just fine with a little hype music and confidence. Can't wait to come back!

Exactly what we were hoping for
The cabin was everything advertised and super convenient with check in and out. We thoroughly enjoyed using this cabin as our home base during our Asheville visit. Will definitely rent again, if the opportunity comes up.

We had such a great time staying here! The views were stunning - I can't wait to come back in the fall :) The location is so close to everything we wanted to see/do - downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the NC Arboretum, hiking, etc. The Christmas decorations were such a nice touch! I highly recommend this property. Thank you Wende!

Want for nothing at this slice of mountain beauty!
Such a beautiful cabin! Well appointed with no need left unfulfilled. Tastefully decorated with very comfortable bedding(+++). A breathtaking view on the deck as the sun was setting within mountains’ reach capped a day of artisan gallery viewing. The owner was thoughtful enough to reach out when high winds occurred for additional safety assurances. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat!
