We had a group of 9 stay here for an extended weekend for a lake and golf trip. The home was large enough to comfortably sleep all 9. The deck has beautiful views of the lake and sunset. Large front yard with wildlife. Close to the marina where we rented a boat for the day to enjoy the lake. We enjoyed out stay and Susan was a great host.

Our family had a wonderful time and look forward to staying again! Lots of space, close to the lake and Cashiers, we saw bears a few nights on property and lots of other wildlife, and enjoyed the firepit every night. The house does not have AC, which we didn't realize, but the owner was quick to respond during checkin and once the temps dropped in the afternoon, we had no problems (there are lots of fans to keep the air moving during the day). We would absolutely stay here again!

The Home is spectacular as is the location! We have been gathering each summer for a week of family time since 2001. We call it "Camp Cousins"! This was one of the best weeks we have had. The house was very clean and everything was as advertised. I could not get enough of the view from the deck, absolutely beautiful! We saw deer and a black bear from there. We ALL agreed that this was a place we could return to, there has only been one other and that was on the shore of lake Michigan. One of the top "Camp Cousins" in 22 years! Thank you for allowing us to use your home!

We were blessed to stay at Heaven's Gate during leaf season and it was SPECTACULAR! The view from the house is incredible, and the surrounding area is beautiful. The grandkids had a blast in the huge yard, and we LOVED the privacy! We basically stayed put, leaving only one morning for a hike~ Susan is a great host and got back with us so quickly with some answers to our questions before the trip. We truly had a great time!

We had a wonderful week with family at Heaven's Gate. The house is clean and comfortable, and the view from the deck of the valley and Lake Glenville can't be beat. Each morning, we sat above the clouds as the sun rose behind us and burned away the mist to reveal the lake and surrounding hills. Evenings of conversation by the fire pit were the perfect way to end each day.

Plenty of beds, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and nice greenspace with distant view of the lake and mountains. The lake is quite far away and not a walk. We saw no instructions on how to find the “private dock” so accessing the lake from the property was not really possible. The downstairs with the queen bed and 4 bunks was very musty smelling and we were never able to air it out. The small kitchen was well stocked with well-used equipment but the cabinets were a hodge podge of stuff and terrible messy. Some of the knife handles from the drawer were not clean. It is a functional property but not worth the price. Everything was a bit outdated and well worn.

The mountain lodge was exactly as listed. Being our first mountains vacation, we pleasantly overwhelmed with the location, spacious living area, amenities available. While the rest of the country was sweltering in a heat wave, we enjoyed cool nights! Susan is the host pleasant and accommodating host. Highly recommend!

Susan was always very prompt in answering my questions. When we had a problem she helped us figure it out. The house is large.
The boat dock across the road was as convenient as can be. We enjoyed the fire pit a few nights. It did get a little warm with the summer temperatures on a couple of our days there. They had lots of fans and I have to say the master bedroom was the coolest place in the house besides the basement. I liked that she had spices etc for our use in the kitchen. We played some of the board games and corn hole. All in all, a great place.

The home was gorgeous. The location was perfect. We sat on the beautiful deck and watch the sunrises and sunsets over the lake. We also enjoyed watching the deer and turkey that visited daily.

We get together every year ages 4-50. We have lots of boys ages 9-15 and they absolutely loved the huge lawn to play football and capture the flag. Spectacular views from the porch and extremely private. Highly recommend!

Amazing location and access to lake and other activities. The house needs some attention with fixtures (lighting, faucets, and doors) being loose or falling apart.

This property completely exceeded our expectations.This trip was far beyond a get away. This was a family spiritual retreat that surpassed our wildest idea of a vacation. We would strongly urge anyone looking to get away from everyday life to visit heavens gate. The experience was top notch from start to finish. And we WILL return soon.

Our group had a great time. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were all very comfortable. We loved sitting by the fire pit in the evenings and having coffee on the deck every morning. Property is close to many great hiking trails. We brought kayaks so using the dock was a great benefit for us.

My family and I had a magical time at this really special property. We were in town for our daughters wedding and the place was perfect. So much room to spread out and everyone was very comfortable. We really cannot say enough about our experience at this property. It was just another perfect part to a perfect week in the mountains. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time at your spacious mountain cabin. It was perfect for our large family. We enjoyed nights around the fire both inside in front of the fireplace and around the outdoor fire pit. The kids had fun sledding down the hill since there was snow when we arrived. Owners were great answering any questions we had and responded quickly. Hope to return next year.

What an amazing home! Susan was a wonderful host. She was able to answer all my questions with a fast response. She also checked in with us through the holiday to wish us a Merry Christmas! It happened to snow Christmas Eve so we woke up to a white Christmas. The home was spacious for the group we had. Our children had an enormous yard to run around on. It was everything we expected it to be.

went here to tour some of the local water falls and enjoy the scenic view. This house did not disappoint with location. The view was stunning. Its only a few minutes from Cashiers village with grocery and a great brewery. Yet it still manages to make you feel like you are in the middle if nowhere. The house was intially cold and lack central heat but honestly once you get the fires going the house warms up perfectly and even holds the heat pretty well iver night. Our host was very helpful throughout our stay. I would book this again.

So much room!!! Each family had their own room and bathroom, plenty of group space too! The house has gorgeous views and something for everyone. The kids loved the game room, and the basement with the pool table. The location was close to everything, great hikes, grocery store, a cute downtown Cashiers only a 10 minute drive. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely breathtaking piece of property! It provided the perfect views, peace and comfort we have been looking for. We had wonderful time with our family and friends by the fire and spent numerous hours on the porch swing.

The space was more than we expected and we loved enjoying all aspects of the property. It’s a great house for a large group and the best views of any rental! Thanks for having us

We had the best time staying at this property. The view from the balcony is absolutely breathtaking. We had a family of seven adults and had so much room to relax. The pool table is an added bonus. The location was great with none of the hikes we took being more than thirty minutes away. We managed to hit the leaf change perfectly which was an added bonus. We would definitely book again if we return to the area.

Location was perfect. Close proximity to wedding site and downtown Cashiers. Home needs some updating and tlc. Space was nice for larger groups as everyone had their own privacy. The animal taxidermy was a bit too much and kind of creepy, actually. There's way too many in the house. Overall nice stay and location but not sure we would choose this vrbo again.

Stayed with friends over Labor Day weekend. Great views, cooler weather and lots of fun at the fire pit and pool table. Rented a pontoon on the lake for the day and took amazing pictures of the waterfalls. Wife and I are considering a move to the area after that!

Great house with fantastic balcony to enjoy sunrises and sunsets of lake with Mountain View. We had a great time with family and a few friends. Wonderful memories during COVID period. Weather was perfect to enjoy the clean crisp air!! Thanks!!

The property was beautiful with a large lawn and view of mountains and Lake Glenville. The location was central to many hikes and convenient to several marinas on the lake. We were less than 5 minutes from downtown Cashiers for shopping and restaurants. There was more than enough room for our party of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids) to easily spread out. There was more than enough sleeping space and dedicated bathrooms. Its a fantastic place and we will likely be back.

This cabin sits on a mountain pasture and looks out over Glenville lake. The sunsets and star gazing are amazing. We had 5 kids ages 9-15 with us and they loved the pool table and great playroom. We had a big whiffle ball game out in the big yard, followed by dinner and a camp fire. A great spot!
