Escape to Almost Heaven for the ultimate Blowing Rock experience
Escape to Almost Heaven for the ultimate Blowing Rock experience. The ground floor retreat is nestled on a quiet lane with beautiful rock formations and stunning views from the large back deck. The back deck has four wooden rocking chairs and a view that will get you out of bed early in awe as the sun comes up over the mountains. You'll want to enjoy each morning cup of coffee from here. Features include a large, well-stocked kitchen and comfortable living area with a pull-out sofa bed, desk (if work absolutely canât wait!) and gas fireplace. The kitchen seats four at a pub-style table and features a Keurig machine, Crock Pot, and all that you need to make a meal at home. Choose between two beautifully decorated and well-appointed bedrooms - the deer room with full bath, garden tub and large walk-in closet or the mountain room with a full bath. A washer and dryer is available for use in the laundry room. Situated at the top of Ski Mountain, youâre almost as close to the slopes as it gets. The Blue Ridge Parkway less than 5 minutes away, downtown Blowing Rock less than 10 minutes and downtown Boone less than 15 minutes. Tweetsie is so close you can hear it's whistle of this much-loved area attraction. You'll smile each time you hear "choo choo!" Youâre close to all that this incredible area has to offer or you can stay in, enjoy the beautiful home and take in the views, mountain breeze, and sounds of nature. We look forward to sharing our home with you!
Almost Heaven is in a great location and perfectly appointed. Whether you are skiing at Appalachian Mountain or enjoying Blowing Rock and Boone this was a perfect stay.
We had such a great time skiing and tubing. The house is located close to Boone and Blowing Rock with lots of restaurants and stores nearby. We loved it!
Very nice owner with great communication, lovely place thatâs the perfect combo of away from the busy areas but close enough to get to restaurants easily. Highly recommend!
House was adorable and in a great location. We came up to ski and were just minutes from App Ski Mountain. Also, very close to the downtown in Blowing Rock.
Very nice home with 2 bd/2 bath and the perfect amount of space for a family of 4 or 2 couples for a weekend in the mountains. The hosts were easy to communicate with and made sure we had a wonderful time.
What a gorgeous area and a wonderful place to visit. The scenery looks like a postcard! Hiking, shopping and dining in the area was quite enjoyable. We will definitely want to get back to Blowing Rock in the future. This location was very convenient to everything we wanted to see.
The property was very comfortable. The stay was for 6 weeks and the location was perfect. Very close to Blowing Rock, Moses Cone, the BRP, and Boone. Location was quiet and neighbors, when they were there, were friendly. The porch is great for morning coffee, evening wine and Yoga anytime. Definitely would recommend. Hosts were very responsive.
For us, the location was the most important thing and this place is ideally located between Boone and Blowing rock. Every morning we hiked at Bass Lake/Moses Cohn Park.
Perfect place for getaway to hit slopes at app ski! Ours was last minute booking & host was great to work with. Communication was quick, thorough & very helpful!
This was our second stay here and it didnât disappoint! Cozy and soooo close to hiking, breweries, Boone and Blowing Rock! We will be back. Until next timeâŠâŠ
We loved our stay at Almost Heaven. It is close to either Boone or Blowing Rock. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Also the sunrise view from the back deck was unbelievable. We will becoming back to this property and would recommend to anyone.
We loved the place. Exactly as advertised. Excellent communication. Very clean. Ample parking. Comfortable beds. No complaints. We already decided we would stay there again soon.
Almost heaven was just that, almost heaven. It was the perfect stay to ring in the new year. The views of the mountains are absolutely stunning and we got to enjoy fireworks from the ski mountain near by. The condo was very clean and great for a couple or family. Easy access to blowing rock or Boone. We were able to visit both towns which was perfect. Highly recommend staying at almost heaven :)
The pictures of the house were great, but it was even prettier in person. It was cozy and inviting the minute you stepped in the door. Not only was it pretty, but it was super clean. We had everything we needed for our short stay. The deck in the back provided peace and beautiful views. I will definitely stay here again!
We love Appalachian Ski Mountain.
The location of this place is excellent!
Great view and very close to the slopes.
The house is equipped as described.
P.S: we didnât realize before we booked there is a unit upstairs that also gets rented and we inadvertently parked occupying 2 parking spots (luckily the house has 2 additional parking spots available, so you will not have parking issues).
This is an exceptional stay for a small group. Good price and well-appointed. The management was responsive to our questions and mostly helpful. Our only 'complaint' is not the owner's fault--If you are getting a winter rental make sure that your vehicle can handle snow / ice or that the forecast is for clear weather. The driveway is steep. Once you get to the main road, it's all good as Appalachian mountain works hard to keep it clear. But again, a great place and nice owners.
Needed a small place to stay with at least 2 baths and dog friendly. This met what we needed. I would say the bed we slept in was more firm than we like but not an issue. The view from the back deck was perfect for relaxing with morning coffee and the position of the property blocked any road noise. I will warn you that Tweetsie train whistle will sound often when it's running. It kinda spooked our pup. Loved the stay and the location close to App State. Would stay again.
Almost Heaven was a cozy, nicely decorated town home. It came with everything you will need in the kitchen along with a binder from the owners giving you valuable information including places to visit and favorite eateries. We came to Blowing Rock to celebrate my sonâs 9th birthday by going snow tubing. We enjoyed our getaway and the attentiveness of the owners who always responded to our questions within minutes. They even have a little complimentary coffee bar with snacks.
The only problem we had was having only 3 wash cloths with six people staying. I do wish we would have had bath linens to match the number of guests. However, the property does offer a washer and dryer to replenish linens. If youâre staying during the winter-just a heads up- Appalachian Ski Mountain makes snow starting around 4 a.m. We were a little nervous about getting out early on Saturday because the driveway was icy, but when the sun came up it didnât take long for it to melt. Overall our stay was a great experience! đ
We are a husband, wife and mother-in-law who together purchased a getaway in Blowing Rock. We look forward to making a lifetime of memories at Almost Heaven and invite you and your family to do the same.
We fell in love with it the moment we saw it. From itâs inviting welcome to the quaint street, to the incredible location to the stunning Mountain Viewâs from the large back deck.
