Power, Water & WiFi! Hot tub+Fire pit, Views, Fireplace, Hiking, Close to BRP!

Welcome to Heavens Gate Cabin, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and tucked away in a small quiet community located only minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance. This is a beautiful rustic log cabin that offers 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. 1 king, 2 queens, 2 twins. The cabin sleeps 8 comfortably and if you add a few sleeping bags for small children the cabin has large rooms to accommodate the little campers.

The Living Room area offers a large wood-burning fireplace and large glass windows to take in the views the Blue Ridge Mountains and the outside foliage. There is also a large Smart TV and lots of space to stretch out an relax in front of the large wood burning fireplace and take in the ambiance.
A chefs kitchen and granite countertops, fully equipped. A dining area with a large handmade custom table to play board games and socialize.

For your convenience, here is a layout of the cabin.

The King master with attached ensuite is located on the main level and has its own entrance to the rear deck area where you can find the grill and outdoor seating to take in the beautiful mountain views and vistas.

There is a Queen guest bedroom on the main level as well with a guest bathroom right next to the bedroom.

The upstairs area has a loft lounging area and offers a bedroom with two twin beds and a guest bathroom.

The downstairs area is where you will find the game room, with a pool table, fooseball and ping pong table as well as the additional guest Queen bedroom with an attached en suite and laundry room area.

All linens and towels of quality are provided. We also provide hand soap, trash bags, laundry and dish pods, and a supply of toilet paper for the first few days.

The outdoor amenities are just as good as the indoor amenities. The cabin offers a covered hot tub, large fire pit area and a rear deck area with a gas grill and outdoor furniture. Theres also a covered front porch as well.

Grab a cup of coffee and sweater and enjoy the mountain vistas from the rear deck in the mornings or if you're in need of some much needed R&R after a long day of activities grab a glass of wine and enjoy a soak in the covered hot tub and take in the beautiful magnificent views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The evenings are generally cool so feel free to build a fire in the large fire pit and roast marshmellows under a blanket of stars.

Once the cold weather returns and the snow begins to fall you may want to try out the ski slopes or snow tubing. Wolf Ridge is about a thirty-minute drive or you can head North to Beech Mountain or Sugar Mountain about 45 minutes from the cabin.

The access to the cabin is easy: paved roads all the way to the keypad gate and then an easy flat drive on to the cabin, located just 5 miles from the town of Little Switzerland and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

You will find that although this cabin is very private there are many things to do within fifteen minutes from the cabin. Explore the Blue Ridge Parkway just 3 miles from the cabin, Gem mining is just around the corner and Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls and Linville Caverns is just a 30 minutes drive. There is also a area just below the cabin that offers three trout ponds and a picnic area directly on a rushing creek. At times you will see turkey, deer, raccoons, birds, black bear. Visit Crabtree Falls from within the neighborhood. Drive to the parking area and its an easy 25 minute hike even for kids.
What are you waiting for? The mountains are calling you!

Good house to get away.
Awesome place to stay at if you want to get away. The hot tub off of the house is great especially at night when heavy fog is blowing through. You cant get bored with pool, ping pong, and foosball in the garage. It is away from the couple towns around but only like 25 minutes away. We went to Carrage House in Burnsville and the food there was amazing. Nothing plain or boring there and really the same for Live Oak Gastropub in Spruce Pine.

Thanksgiving trip
Our family took a vacation this year the week of Thanksgiving and it was one of our favorites! The house was beautiful, roomy, and the game room and jacuzzi were a hit! The neighborhood was fantastic. There is nothing bad I can say about our stay…except they need a new can opener 😉. Check in was a breeze and the property mangers were super fast with responses. Highly recommend!

Great location with an amazing view.
We annually travel to Spruce Pine/Little Switzerland area to visit with the wife's family. Normally it is just she and I. This year we took all the kids and grandkids. Everyone enjoyed the cabin and there was plenty of room for everyone. Had to call property once due to a breaker being tripped and they immediately took care of it. Overall we had a great week long vacation and stay at the cabin.

Nice home, lovely view, well equipped kitchen
Overall, this home was furnished very nicely. Great kitchen and firepit and hot tub. We thought we would play pool and enjoy the game room, but ended up not having the time. The coffee maker wouldn't work, but the owners promptly had another one delivered to us. They were responsive when we reached out. The master bedroom was enormous with a huge unused space, which could be made much cozier with the use of bedside tables and lamps on both sides of the bed and next to the sofa. We like to read and ended up buying a lamp to read by at Walmart. I advise bringing your own soaps and shampoos in case there are none when you arrive. These are small things. As I said, the property itself is very nice and accommodating for a family, and the owners were very responsive when we needed help.

We loved our stay at heavens gate. The views were amazing! We had fun with the puzzles and games as well as the game room downstairs. The hot tub was so relaxing after long days exploring the area. The cabin had everything we needed and more, it was a very comfortable stay. Communication was easy, very responsive. The common areas in the development were awesome and we loved being able to hike right from the neighborhood. We had a lovely stay!

Wonderful home for a gathering of friends!
We visited Heavens Gate in February for 10 days, for a get together with 5 other friends with one dog, then worked remotely online from the home for the last week. The house is setup perfectly for groups of adults (or with kids). Four bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom, plenty of room to relax, comfortable furniture and a great kitchen. We didn't make use of the pool table or ping pong table downstairs in the garage area, as it was a little cooler in there being winter (that space is not heated), but we can see that being great fun spring thru fall. The beverage fridge downstairs is very handy. The hot tub (just a few steps from the house) is one of the main reasons we chose this home and was where we spent most of our time outside. It's well maintained, clean and easy to access. The view from the hot tub is fantastic. The fireplace in the lounge worked well to add a little ambience and heat. The kitchen had all the hardware we needed to cook and had both a coffee pot and a Keurig. Plenty of towels and linens were available, along with a washer and dryer that work well. For a log home we found the house to be very quiet (no creaking every time someone moved about on any floor) and easily withstood high wind gusts and rain while we were there. We had 1-2 bars of AT&T and VZ on our phones (T-Mobile was roaming) and the house has high speed internet which was excellent (two remote workers on meetings and streaming TV at the same time was no issue). We had a couple of small issues while we were there but the property managers (Melissa and Nick) were helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay at Heavens Gate again.
