We enjoyed family time with adult children, grand children and enjoyed this fabulous home! 4 en suite bedrooms are luxurious and the kitchen fully stocked with all appliances. We got both sunrise and sunset views with Lake Junaluska in the valley. Games galore, ping pong, air hockey and hot tub!We went from 70’s to 28 degrees with dusting of snow. We hope to return.

Each year we rent a cabin in the mountains for our family. This one was maybe the best one ever. Bed in master took some getting used to. Stairs might hinder older folks or guests with disabilities.

We had an incredible time and the the cabin was absolutely amazing. It really does have the perfect name in Almost Heaven. The place was very clean, spacious, and every detail of the cabin was perfect. The kitchen was incredible and fully stocked with every tool and cooking utensil needed. The grill was clean and worked great. We love to cook and we enjoyed cooking in this kitchen and outside grill! We definitely want to come back and stay here again.

We loved the home and location but for us there were too many steps to climb. The property managers were fantastic. If we had a question someone showed up within 15 minutes to help us. We will always rent from them when possible instead of VRBO.

My family experienced a lovely week together in this new home. The windows provided breathtaking views and the mountain is a nice windy drive around other lovely properties. We used Instacart for delivered groceries and the stocked kitchen gave us the supplies needed to make our dinners together. We spent some time almost everyday with our two littles at the neighborhood playground near the bottom of the mountain. The kids loved rolling down the hills. I look forward to coming back one summer so they can play in the creek that winds around the playground. Love the proximity to Waynesville and surrounding areas!
