Nice relaxing vacation

Property was just as described. It was perfect for a set of parents, their 2 grown children, and 6 grandchildren. They even had a pack-n-play for the infant. Owner was easy to contact, and even alerted us once when there was a bear sited near the house. One of the lakes/pool areas was able to be accessed by walking down a hill from behind the house, which the kids took full advantage of. There were lifeguards, so the older kids were able to come and go to the pool. We will definitely stay there again.

Family Reunion Fun

We rented two homes overlooking the beach club for our large family. It was wonderful being able to walk down to the beach club. The home was very well appointed. Tom was very helpful before our stay - even letting us know that the local store had a refrigeration problem the day before our stay began.

Perfect Spot in Big Canoe

We’ve been to Big Canoe numerous times, and Almost Heaven is our favorite rental there. The house had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a fun bonus. The location so close to the Beach Club cannot be beat, especially when you have kids and are there in the summer. Tom is a fantastic host, responsive and kept us up to speed on everything we needed to know.

Rustic, homey, amazing location

Beautiful house perched in the woods above the lake; the view from the living room window is like a picture postcard. The steep path behind the house takes you to the little beach (for boating, wading, volleyball) and to the hiking trails. It was somehow both spacious and snug, with autumnal decor, and with more rooms than we could even take advantage of.

We enjoyed our extended family stay at this house, and another up the road. This house had plenty of sleeping area, was well clean and well maintained, great location where you could walk down to the beach club, and a communicative and helpful owner. Highly recommended.

Great home for a family of nine. this house was perfect for a family of nine with four bedrooms and a loft and 4 1/2 baths. The kitchen was well stocked and the pantry had a lot of what we needed.

Great spot - loved the hot tub after pickleball session (yes really!) Tom was great to work with and very responsive. Much better than two other properties we worked with that had management companies. Properties were similar and I would pick working with Tom 100% over others.

Good family time despite the rain

We enjoyed a good day of hiking and swimming in the lake. While the $20/person swimming fee seemed a little steep, I appreciated that Tom let us know about it ahead of time. The house itself was great. When the weather got rainy we were able to have a comfortable day watching football and cooking meals in the kitchen. Have two living areas was nice with the size of our group.

80th Birthday Celebration

Tom was an Excellent host! The ease of the check-in and checkout process was extremely convenient. Almost Heaven is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. My family thoroughly enjoyed the stay and all the great amenities within the property. We celebrated my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday with immediate family. She loved the screened in porch and the grandkids loved the loft area with foosball table. Enough room for everyone to established their favorite area. 😍
