Almost Heaven Mountain Top Cabin

Booking now for summer getaways! Almost Heaven Cabin is the perfect place for your visit! Unplug, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful charm of cozy log cabin living.

The cabin is the perfect spot for family and friends, or a romantic getaway for two. With soaring trees, abundant wildlife, and a small brook trickling beside the deck, it’s the ideal spot to unwind after a fun day visiting the Asheville area!

The cabin is only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, Black Mountain, Biltmore Estate, and other attractions.

Our guests frequently ask two questions: "Who decorated your cabin?" and "Who cleans your cabin?" We hope these questions reflect the care and attention to detail we put into making your stay as perfect as possible!

The cabin features pine wood floors, modern appliances, TVs in every room (with cable), Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for all your cooking needs.

We often get reviews saying, "We thought of everything!" We provide coffee, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher pods, toilet tissue, shampoo and conditioner, towels, linens, etc.

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

We welcome small pets. Please read the pet policy at the bottom.

**PETS: We love animals, and your four-legged pals, who are 35 lbs or less, are welcome to stay with approval and a $50 pet fee ($100 for monthly stays). We just ask that you don't allow them on the beds or furniture. If you cannot keep them off the couches, please bring covers to protect them, but we are very strict about our no pets on the bed policy. If an over-enthusiastic pet happens to leave their mark, their loving human guests will be financially responsible. Please let us know what type of pet you have when booking. Read more pet policy rules under the house rules section.

You may see bears, deer, wild turkey, owls, hawks, possums, raccoons and bobcats among other animals. Come to enjoy Asheville and the nature and outdoor fun, music, food, and many activities it has to offer.

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!

Wonderful Mountain Cabin

We had a great vacation at Wende's Almost Heaven mountain cabin. The hosts obviously gave a great deal of thought into outfitting the cabin and provided everything a person could need, from coffee to lots of towels to shampoo, spices, pots and pans, even an Ingles card! . The light fixtures and cupboards were labeled so you didn't have to dig around trying to find things. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. A highlight was seeing a mama bear and her two cubs walk the balcony. I would definitely rent the cabin again and will recommend it to my friends visiting Asheville.

Wonderful stay in Asheville

We thoroughly enjoyed or stay in this cozy mountain cabin. It was perfect for day trips into Asheville and to get to hiking in the area. Very clean, well-stocked for cooking, and a great common room for relaxing with family at the end of the day. It is as nice as it looks in the pictures.

About the host

Hosted by wende kimble

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in Asheville for 20 years. It is our joy to share our special cabin with guests so they can create lasting memories with their friends and family.

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, making it a great home base while exploring.
