Center Hill Lake, Historic Log Cabin updated with amazing Lake/Mountain views!

This place rocks. It was perfect for our stay. I could have spent all day just exploring the cabin and the well curated decor. The decks are fantastic and the view is incredible. The place is larger than it appears in the photos. You can tell Dennis and spouse spend a lot of time here. It is not your cookie-cutter corporate VRBO. I defy you to NOT find what you need in the kitchen. Dennis was a fantastic host. He frequently checked on us (by email/text, not in person) in a good way, not an overbearing way. He was very helpful. Only two negatives, but they are expected negatives since the cabin is from the early 1800s: (1) the floors creak (what do you expect?); and (2) the bathrooms have a step at their entrance, which is a little tricky at night (although night lights are provided). This might not be your best bet if you have mobility issues. We will 100% be staying here again. Hopefully next time in the summer or fall when we can really enjoy the decks. Thanks Dennis!

Dennis was great - he thought of everything. We sat on this glorious deck and enjoyed the historic feel of this cabin. It was spotless - even the deck was all clear of old cobwebs and stuff we normally find on cabin rentals. Beds were cozy and comfy. We will definitely be back!

Dennis made the process very smooth, especially at check in and check out. Historic property, great views and an excellent way for us to familiarize ourselves with the Center Hill Lake region.

Stunning view, peaceful ambience. Perfect for relaxation and visiting waterfalls. Well stocked, great record collection,delicious grouper at Slighgo Marina.

Every morning I woke up to the most beautiful view. The large window and the deck are the highlights to this beautiful cabin. I will be staying here again next year if available

My family and I stayed here last spring break and loved it so much we made sure to book it again. Dennis is a great host and very communicative. The cabin has a mix of historical touches and modern conveniences. They have even added a new screened in porch for bug-less enjoyment of the outdoors. Its also pet friendly so it worked well for our little dog. The view from the deck is incredible and unlike any place we have stayed before in the Center Hill lake area. There are plenty of things to do in Smithville as well. Definitely a hidden gem and one of our favorite places!

Everything was perfect. Relaxing and tranquil surroundings. It is a beautiful cabin on the lake.

Absolutely beautiful! Even more amazing than in the pictures! We had a much needed relaxing week. Our dogs loved it too! Dennis was great to work with.

To say the view is beautiful is quite the understatement. We spent the majority of our time on the deck staring at the view, enjoying the firepit, and watching the hummingbirds. It was incredibly relaxing. The cabin is rustic and as advertised. The new addition of the screened in porch came in handy on our last evening. Due to unforeseen circumstances before our arrival, the owner, Dennis, was at the cabin when we arrived and couldn’t have been more gracious. We instantly hit it off with him and was very happy we got to visit with him. Join us for drinks next time! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need and even spices and condiments. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The slanted floor in the king room was a surprise but not off putting. I highly recommend a stay at this cabin. We’re already talking about when we can stay again.

Such a comfy cabin with an amazing view! Pets enjoy too!

What a beautiful place. Truly almost heaven. Everything was perfect. The view is even more spectacular in person. The attention to details of the design and decor are incredible. We had lots of space to spread out but also spaces to be together. You can’t help but think about all the history and people whom have stepped into this cabin. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer and that it was a little closer to us so we could visit more frequently. Thank you for sharing your home.

We stayed for a week at Dennis’ property. The view absolutely took my breath away. Dennis called the week before our stay to check in and to see if we had any questions, tell us about the area and offer us suggestions during our stay. He called and texted us a couple more times during our stay making sure we were having a good time and if we needed anything. Our experience at Almost Heaven was amazing. So peaceful and relaxing, my husband and I are looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend.
