The upper-level primary suite is complete with its own porch, allowing you to soak in the sights and sounds of nature.

In the evenings, gather around the fire pit and share stories, roast marshmallows, and create cherished moments with your loved ones.

The cabin’s central location is just minutes from dining, wine tasting, breweries, shopping, hiking, cold weather activities and warm weather activities. There are a number of hiking trails on and off the Blue Ridge Parkway to explore.

Sometimes rain, fog, snow, sleet, or ice create unexpected and hazardous driving conditions - especially during the colder months of November - April.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRIVE FULLY PREPARED and there will be NO refunds, allowances, or date changes resulting from your negligence in this matter.
The cabin’s driveway will be salted/ cleared at Owner’s discretion. Even when the roads have been cleared, guests with 2-wheel drive vehicles often have trouble with the steep hills.

Great place for our “older” family. Couple of college kids and us for Thanksgiving weekend! Weather was perfect not to crazy. The house had plenty to enjoy. Hot tub and fire pit were our favorite. Great fireplace, cozy areas to chill and play games. Would highly recommend!

Perfect cabin in the mountains

This beautiful wood cabin is in a great location, 20min from main attractions. I really appreciate the details and how clean and comfortable the cabin is. You have two bedrooms with bathroom inside in each one and an open loft with two full over twin bunk beds. All the furniture is sturdy and very well maintained. There are two porches, on each side of the house; one has a table to have breakfast and enjoy the sounds of nature and the back porch takes you to the hot tub and fire pit area. We were there the weekend before Hurricane Helene arrived and I was happy to hear the cabin didn’t have any damages. I can’t wait for the beautiful mountains of NC to rebuild so we can go back and enjoy the cabin, the people and nature.

Grandfather Mountain

Very clean and well appointed home. Worked well for our family of four with young children. Kids loved the bunk beds in the loft. Private setting, though not far from the main road. Very convenient to grandfather mountain, blue ridge parkway, and restaurants/shopping.

Wonderful experience at APPsolute Heaven

This cabin lives up to its name! This was the cleanest place we have ever booked. Everything was just as described online. The owners went above and beyond any expectations. The location was perfect for us. We wanted a place to just go and relax and unwind and that is exactly what we did. Easy check in and check out. I honestly can't say enough good things about this cabin. We will book here again!

We had an amazing time at this lovely cabin. Our kids loved the hot tub and roasting marshmallows. The surrounding nature was very therapeutic. Lots of great hikes nearby. We also really enjoyed being so close to grandfather vineyard. The house was extremely clean and equipped with everything we needed. We will come back!

Great House & Location

We just had an amazing stay at APPsolute Heaven, and I can't recommend it enough! The location was spot on – super close to Boone, Grandfather Mountain, and Sugar Mountain, which made exploring the area so easy. The place was just the right size for our family. We loved the hot tub and the fire pit out back – perfect for relaxing evenings. Plus, the large front porch with a table and rocking chairs was a great spot for our morning coffee. Everything was incredibly clean and well-maintained, and the neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. One of the best surprises was the s'mores kit they left for us as a welcome gift. Very nice touch! The owners were fantastic, too. We had some car trouble during our stay, and they were so helpful and accommodating, which made a big difference. If you're looking for a great place to stay in the Banner Elk area, I highly recommend this place. 5 Stars!

Fantastic stay!

My wife, kids, and I had the best time! Everything was perfect. Our host was so helpful, quick to respond and very accommodating. The cabin was very clean and in a wonderful central location. The kids has a blast roasting marshmallows, and the hot tub was clean and worked perfectly! The kids were already asking when we were coming back as we left.

Amazing Stay and Cabin

We had the absolute best time at our stay in this cabin. We were welcomed with all the needs for S'mores for the kids, while it did snow and wind was high, we weren't able to enjoy outside but the kitchen was well equipment so we were able to make them inside with the oven. The kids absolutely love the loft area with the double bunks. Both the older girls(4,11) were able to get a top bunk so that was awesome! All the wood in the cabin was absolutely perfect for the feel we were wanting in the mountains. Add in the little snow we got and it was perfect. The front porch and hot tub was perfect with a great view of Grandfather mountain. We will absolutely be back soon!!!

Great cabin with fantastic hospitality

We had a wonderful time and the cabin is absolutely beautiful. Very nice layout with the interior and exterior. We thoroughly enjoyed the grill, nice landscape with outdoor fireplace, hot tub with views, and the interior was very comfortable along with clean. They have a nice book made about the cabin and things to do within the adjacent area. Only negative thing we experienced was having to haul our trash off. The closest trash sites were closed on Sunday and the one in Boone was open 1-5 but checkout is 11. We fortunately had a truck bed for the trash but our luggage was back there too. Overall I would highly recommend this property and would most definitely stay again!!!
