Bad luck with a beautiful view...
I was hesitant to leave a review because our experience was not "typical" to that of other guests. My family was unfortunate to stay after the owner's completed a master bath renovation. My daughter had water leakage on her bedroom floor that had to be cleaned up several times. I had to rewash clothes and the towels we used to soak it up. Worker's came out two days in a row (during dinner) and shut off the water (once) for two hours. I had to run up stairs and turn on faucets, tubs and showers to help find the leak while he was in the ceiling. I washed my daughter's bedding both days because of the mess (access panel was above her bunk bed.) The hot tub was half full the first day... then had a calcium residue along the sides. The hot tub guy came out the day after the plumbing was fixed. It still did't work and was unusable the rest of the trip. The same day we ran out of water after returning from an excursion in Bryson City. The owners were able to correct this. David and Joy were kind and apologetic, refunding our cleaning fee along with $100 for the "inconvenience". At the time we tried to be patient and understanding because we didn't have a choice. In hindsight, I feel frustrated because it took use two years to save up for this trip. It was not the relaxing or enjoyable experience we had hoped for. On a positive note, the cabin was very pretty and the view was SPECTACULAR! I'm sure others will enjoy their stay once all of these kinks are worked out.

Exactly as Advertised
We couldn’t stop talking about the view! The pictures just don’t do it justice. We even cancelled some day plans because we wanted more time at Almost Heaven. The cabin was beautiful, comfortable and very well stocked / equipped. It had everything you could want. It’s a hike up the mountain to Alarka Highlands, but less intimidating once you have done it a time or two. The sunsets were well worth it. Our three-year-old cried when we packed up because he didn’t want to leave the beautiful mountains and my wife asked to book it again.

We have been married for 22 years and have three sons and a daughter we adopted from Ukraine orphanage at age 9. We have always loved visiting the Smoky Mountains. Over the years we have grown to love the quiet and cheerful town of Bryson City. This has been a dream of ours to own a cabin and we are thrilled to now be property owners of such a beautiful, custom built cabin.

Why they chose this property

Semi secluded and on top of the world!!!!! The other 2 neighboring cabins are not close but barely visible (especially summer months).

What makes this property unique

Inside are 4 spacious bedrooms accommodating up to 6 with 2-4 small children OR 8 adults. A large soaking tub in the master bath, a pool table, a hot tub for 6 people. There are 6 flat screen TV's with Direct TV and DVR.
At our cabin you will enjoy the peace and quiet of remote living. While enjoying the benefits of the luxury living. The cabin sits 20-30 minutes outside of Bryson City in a small, quaint community named Alarka. Inside Bryson City you can enjoy shopping, a small theatre, local dining and of course The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. The cabin is also near the Fontana Lake where you will find water recreational activities.
