About this property

Stay at Almost Heaven for beautiful views and the best 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 can’t 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, you’re 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!" You’re 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!
