Quiet forest getaway

The home was comfy and nicely equipped. We had to wipe down the table and chairs on the porch to use them, but the woody setting and the sound of the creek at the bottom of the hill made relaxing easy. Having a pool table was a great add for our teen, but we've been in homes with more games if you have more of a family focus. It's about 15-20 minutes from town, but if you're looking for a getaway, it's perfect. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice Stay

This is a nice place with a very large porch. Plenty of room inside for stretching out. I wish the large French door opening onto the deck had screens.

Great little cabin

Great little cabin. Just far enough outside town to be quiet and relaxing. Place was exceptionally clean and organized. Two porches (upper wrap around and lower). Both porches had seating options. Cabin was small but well organized so that it was cozy and not crowded. Downstairs had a large bed, large couch with sleeper, plus a day bed off to the side room full bath downstairs as well as a pool table. Highly recommend this place. Thank you!

Date vacay with the wife!

This cabin was perfect for us. The porch is very nice to sit on in the morning while drinking coffee reading and listening to the birds. The grill cooked some great ribeyes, and the pool table was great to play on. I would look at staying here again. The cabin was very clean and well kept!

Home sweet home.

We felt right at home here. It had everything we needed. And was the prefectly located for what we were doing. We would definition stay again. But if you have a dog, going up and down the hill to have them use the bathroom was not ideal. Especially if you have an older dog. The awesome fire pit area was down there as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Great House

Heaven on the Hill was a great house for what my group of 4 needed. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured. Some small things to note: cell coverage is spotty and wifi is a bit slow (~5mbps) which is typical for the area, and the fridge didn't have a water dispenser, so make sure to bring bottled water if you don't prefer tap. Overall, our stay was pleasant and I definitely would recommend it to others!

Nice comfortable cabin

Cabin is about 20 minutes from town, very nice area, you can hear the creek running across the road. Nicely furnished, beds very comfortable. We did have an issue with the shower randomly cutting off with no warning! All in all a great place to stay

Absolutely Amazing!! A Must See and Stay!

This home is beautiful! It has all the bells and whistles. There are also extra kitchen items added for guest experience. The pool table is just what our family needed as well. Playing pool before going to bed and as soon as we woke up. Love this place and will definitely stay again! Thank you for an amazing trip and home!

Home away from home.

We will be back. This cabin/home was immaculate, comfortable, and far enough away from town to be secluded yet close enough to get gas within 10 minutes. We enjoyed all the little "extras", like the fire pit and the two porches to relax and soak in the woods. Thank you for a wonderful visit, we will be back.
