About this cabin rental

BRING YOUR DOGS! BRING YOU HORSES!

The Cozy Log GUEST CABIN is located at ALMOST HEAVEN RANCH, which is a Very Special Place. It is for those who love nature, love animals (both wild and tame), love stars and wild flowers, love mountains, love old gray barns, love hummingbirds, and foraging, love chipmonks, and hiking, and love the smell and the sounds, and no sounds, of the forest.

If you are one of those special people, we would love to share our GUEST CABIN, and Ranch, with you!

The GUEST CABIN is a Studio, with a large kitchen and full bath (shower & tub). It is near, but detached, from the Main House, and has been newly redecorated in the RALPH LAUREN EQUESTRIAN STYLE. There is one King size bed (sleeps 2), and one Queen size air mattress (sleeps two).

There is disability parking under the deck in front of the GUEST CABIN, which is your parking spot during your stay; it is on one level; and, there are no steps as you enter. There is a dresser, 3 chairs, a 50 inch TV (with Roku), high speed internet, and a table for eating, working, or watching deer, the horses, including DONNER, the Miniature Sicilian Donkey, and BLITZEN, the Miniature Draft Horse. Yes, DONNER and BLITZEN!

Bring your dogs (no breed restrictions), which must be kept on a leash when outside of the GUEST CABIN, due to the horses, donkey, and wildlife. Please no cats.

There is no need for you to bring firewood with you for the fire pit, as wood is complimentary for Guests. Spring weather at the Ranch, which is 4,500 ft above sea level, can be cold at times. For those Guests who like air conditioning, one is installed around the end of May, thru the end of September. There is always a a box fan in the GUEST CABIN.

While all children are welcome, the GUEST CABIN is not child proof. Please bring whatever child proofing equipment that you feel is appropriate for the ages of your children.

Please do not forget carrots for BLITZEN (the Miniature Draft Horse), who has big blue eyes and who smiles as he greets guests! Actually, you can almost hear him laugh as he runs down the long driveway, which is one of his favorite things to do! BLITZEN, and his best friend, DONNER (the Miniature Sicilian Donkey), are the Ranch Mascots. While BLITZEN is very social, DONNER is more like EEyore in Winnie the Poo, as he follows BLITZEN around, everywhere, all of the time:) Please only two carrots for each of them in the morning and also in the evening, due to the sugar content in carrots.

You are welcome to pet and love on the larger horses that may board at the Ranch from time to time. but please do not feed them. They are all privately owned. Sometimes they are away for horse shows or when their owners take them for trail rides, but they are usually at the Ranch. For insurance purposes, there is no horseback riding offered to the public at the Ranch, however, there is horse back riding most of the year, nearby. Donner and Blitzen are always wondering around, and love to welcome Guests!

The old gray barns at ALMOST HEAVEN RANCH, are reminiscent of Watauga County's ByGone era. The stalls are not at all fancy, but they are functional. Many beautiful horses, including some National Champion Arabians, Saddlebreds (pictures of which are on the site), Friesians, and Wild Mustangs, along with Miniature Horses and Donkeys, have called Almost Heaven Ranch, "Home".

If you wish to bring your horses between April 1, 2026 and November, 1, 2026, there may be dry-stalls available, so please check with your Hosts for availability prior to booking.

Steve and Kathleen, look forward to hosting you!

The perfect spot for a peaceful stay in the mountains above Boone, after dropping into town you return to a quiet space with Donner (miniature donkey) and Blitzen ( miniature draft horse) as company. Kathleen was a gracious host with a kind manner that perfectly fit the surroundings, felt like a home away from home. Will definitely return to this special spot.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin at Almost Heaven was clean, cozy, and comfortable. We loved seeing the animals! The location was easy to get to, the gate was easy to manage, and the hosts are welcoming. We would have liked to use the fire pit; maybe next time!

The cabin was perfectly tucked in the mountains where you can watch the sunrises and sunsets on this beautiful horse farm. Kathleen was so sweet and answered any emails within minutes. Downtown Boone was about 2 miles down the mountain. We are looking forward to going back!!

The owners were very nice. The guest house was not air conditioned. There was two fans. There was no silverware, had to go buy plastic utensils. No dishwasher. There was a mini refrigerator. No ice maker, only one ice tray. It is set up like a studio apartment. The place was peaceful and has a nice country view.
