• Important to Note: Peace of Heaven cabin is tucked in for that true mountain escape—and with that comes a bit of adventure! While some guests have made it up just fine in a 2-wheel drive vehicle, we highly recommend all-wheel or 4-wheel drive. For guests with standard cars, we provide 1 parking space at the base of the driveway which is .25 miles from the cabin. The gravel driveway is well maintained, but it does have a few curves and steeper sections that can be tricky for standard vehicles. If you're driving a 2WD, turning off Traction Control can help with grip on the incline. We want your arrival to be smooth and stress-free, so please plan accordingly. Guests are responsible for ensuring their vehicle can access the property and for any significant road damage caused by lack of traction.

We were blown away by the beauty of Peace of Heaven and it's surroundings. This beautiful cabin is stunning indoors and out. Our hosts were so nice, and even called us personally when we had a question. This was my first experience with a VRBO property, but it won't be my last. This was far superior to any other vacation rental platform I've used previously. I would give thia property 10 stars if I could.

We had a wonderful stay at Peace of Heaven! The house was immaculately clean and by far the best kept vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in. The amenities were fantastic — we especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit in the evenings. What really made the experience unforgettable were the stunning mountain views right from the property. Highly recommend this place and would love to come back!

Great!

We enjoyed our stay! House was clean and as described.Outside: View was amazing! We really appreciated the grassy area and enjoyed roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. The wraparound deck was perfect for the evenings after a day of hiking. A few more comfortable chairs would have been nice or maybe a porch swing...the rocking chairs don't rock very well on the decking.Kitchen: Kitchen was well stocked (we cooked breakfast and dinner each day) and had everything we needed...even included a few pantry items (salt, pepper, oil) which kept us from having to buy. Bedrooms: Beds were comfortable and the view from the loft is great. Be aware, the primary bedroom is upstairs in the loft so you'll have to lug your suitcases up and down.Bathrooms: bathrooms were spacious and included bath soaps/shampoos. A couple extra towels would have been nice.Amenities: There is a washer and dryer but you'll need to bring your own detergent.Miscellaneous: The description does mention that the drive up to the house is steep, and that's no joke. We were driving an SUV but not 4x4 and it was a bit of a challenge each time we went up. The first half is fine but the last half is very steep and a bit windy. We had to slow down for a neighbor near the road one day as we were on that last half (didn't want to throw stones on him) and ended up having to back down the drive a bit to get enough momentum to finish the climb. Just something to be aware of ;-)

The cabin was great but we had to check in after a thunderstorm and it was a little bit rough trying to get to the top of the mountain in our SUV as the drive way was gravel and the rain had washed out the gravel and the ruts were pretty deep and the tires would not catch the road very good but the location and cabin was extremely nice

Truly Heaven on Earth!

My husband and I booked the Peace of Heaven property so we could escape the chaos of our daily rat race and life with two teens. We couldn’t have found another property that compares to the peace and ultimate relaxation that Steven and Sue Matz provided! The property itself was above and beyond our expectations for comfort, cleanliness, amenities, technology, beautifully decorated, expertly maintained, lots of games and activities available, community information, and ALL the comforts of home! This property does not leave you wishing you had packed anything for the making a meal, using kitchen to bake, afternoon of card, movie night, or evening filled with fun board games! They literally had it ALL! Add to that they allowed us to add our friends to our stay last minute! They were beyond accommodating, and it was ever so clear they treat those who stay at their property like family not just guests. We can’t wait to go back and know that while we went for relaxation, we will return with our teens who will love all the peace and activities the property has to offer! So much fun and such an amazing experience. We are forever grateful and can’t wait to get back!

My husband, myself and our dog loved our visit! The home is perfect for a quiet escape or a family vacation. The rooms are spacious & clean. The view is amazing & I found myself looking forward to it every day!! Driving to the house is an adventure & you must have a 4 wheel truck to climb the steep incline. The home is well equipped with everything you might need and looks like the pics. We went hiking & recommend Sarah with Outbound, fly fishing & visited Cherokee NC for an evening play about the Trail of Tears. Awesome getaway…perfect home!!
