For the evening, prepare dinner in our world-class kitchen or kick back and watch the game on one of the 70-inch smart TVs with Sonos surround sound. With only a 20-minute drive to Cashiers or Brevard and less than an hour to Highlands/Asheville, you will never run out of options for great hiking, biking, fishing, food, drink, and shopping!

We absolutely loved staying at Little Bit of Heaven for a week! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The instructions from the owners for getting to the house were helpful because google maps did try to have us go the back entrance like they said. There is so much to do nearby and great restaurants. We can’t wait to come back!

Family birthday

Our family loved our stay. The home was well appointed in every way. Kitchen was great for preparing large meals, the decor was upscale and lovely and the setting, so peaceful. We loved having private walks to the falls on the property. Owners were wonderful to deal with.

Wonderful stay!

We loved our time at Rick and Martha’s beautiful home - the setting was lovely (gorgeous views) and the property was in a great location with a few easy hikes available right from the property itself. They had everything we could have needed in the kitchen and the bedrooms for our group of 11 adults and kids very well. The house itself is beautiful and very well done. We hope to visit again! Thank you!

Wonderful Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Bit of Heaven. The home was well stocked and nicely decorated with comfortable amenities for our group of 7 adults and 1 small child. We had a wonderful time hiking to the two waterfalls that can be accessed from the property. We also enjoyed using the paddle boards and kayaks at the community dock next door. We took advantage of some of the owner’s restaurant recommendations and we were also very comfortable cooking in the lovely kitchen which had everything we needed. Wonderful stay and the owners were easy to communicate with.

Wonderful Stay in Beautiful Home

We had the most glorious stay. If I could give 100 stars, I would. This house is perfect in every way - Location, floor plan, flow, furnishings. You can feel it was built with love. My favorite spot was the swing on the bottom porch. It is a magical home and any future inhabitants are lucky. Don’t hesitate to book your stay at this house- you will love it and leave with many wonderful memories.

We are seven lifelong friends who travel together every year. We had a fabulous time--coffee on the porch in the morning, cocktails in the evening. Lots of outdoor activities in between. The house is beautiful! Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. EASY check in and communication with host. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent Home

This home is located in a beautiful spot half way between Highlands and Brevard. As in all mountain locations, it takes time to get from one place to another, so expect that when you head to that area! The home was exactly as promised and great for a family who likes the outdoors. The Hosts were incredibly attentive and easy to work with throughout the booking process. You will definitely get what is promised!

August 2023 Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at Little Bit O Heaven! We had 2 families of 4 and more then enough room. Loved the location at Catatoga Club - amenities were great and lots to do at the home which was a big plus. First 2 days we barley left the house! Fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking all out the back door. Also very accessible to Cashiers, Brevard, Sapphire, etc. Home is extremely well appointed, beautifully furnished and maintained. We are grateful the Franks shared this gem with us, we would love to come back!

Our favorite place.

Our family of five has stayed in many vacation rental properties over the years in multiple locations throughout the South East, US. This was hands down the family favorite. The property was beautiful. It was clean and laid out so well. The surroundings were breath taking. It says a lot when adults, a teenager, an older child, and a kindergartener all leave a vacation saying the had the best time. We enjoyed hiking and adventuring around the neighborhood trails the most. We also loved coming back to a cozy environment with a peaceful view to watch movies at night. So perfect. We would love to visit this home again.

Fantastic stay!

We had an outstanding Thanksgiving holiday at Lake Toxaway. The house is exactly as described -- comfortable beds, high-end finishes, and a fully stocked kitchen. Trails around the property are easy to find/follow for novice hikers. The house is also quite accessible for *most* wheelchair users (one bedroom on main/upper level, all others require stairs) as long as they can cross one small step to get in the house and one step to get into the shower on the main level. We built a little ramp out of firewood, which wasn't ideal but worked well enough. I offer this in case other folks have accessibility needs. Thanks so much to our terrific hosts - we loved staying in your beautiful home!

Perfect vacation home for a big family

We had the incredible opportunity of staying in Rick and Martha’s beautiful home over Thanksgiving. They went out of their way to make sure we knew everything about their home and the area before we arrived. In addition to being excellent communicators they made us feel like their home was our very own for the week - they thought of everything before our arrival! This home is completely stocked!! The bedding/linens are beautiful and everything was easy to use (TVs, fireplace, games, golf cart etc). The home is very clean and new! They had smores for us and spacious rooms for families! The property is beautiful with the lake and hikes to waterfalls super close by. We have been coming to a Toxaway for 40 years and have rented various homes, but Little Bit of Heaven was the very best! We can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful Home in Lake Toxaway area

The home is beautiful and well equipped. The location is south of Brevard, so a little far if you plan to spend much time in Ashville. The hot tub did not work and club house was not open. We would have loved a hot tub. The pool was pretty and in good shape, but extremely cold, which I didn’t expect. I didn’t realize that this area of SC is almost a rain forest. They can’t technically call it that, but you should be aware that there is rain quite often.. The Franks are extremely easy to work with and worked through any difficulties we might have had. We took full advantage of seeing the water falls and hiking. The location beautiful scenery.

This was the lake house we needed! Perfect for our multigenerational group that was looking to take a break and reconnect. The living space had plenty of space to spread out while still being together. The dining table was great for 7, but could fit more. The kitchen had plenty of spices and many dish/utensil/pot options. The bedrooms (all ensuite except the bunk) were a dream, and we loved the decor.We spent hours upon hours on the back deck and in the main room - playing cards, happy hour, reading, watching golf, etc. The view from the deck is really peaceful, there's a great array of seating, and there weren’t many bugs! We saw a bear across the lake, deer in the driveway and we loved the birdsong.There were plenty of things to do, and we played a lot of shuffleboard. We loved the canoe and also used the pool, which was cool and nice. The hot tub wasn’t really 'hot' – probably just temporary because it was overfull from recent rain. The hike down to the waterfall was close and easy! Honestly, we were so relaxed and at home here, we didn't explore a lot. We'll play cornhole and make the s'mores next time! :) The owners were great, and you can tell how much they love this place. We really appreciated that they provided a lot of supplies - we barely used our own, just a roll or two of TP and some bar soap in the showers.We all decided this was one of the absolute best houses we’ve ever rented and enthusiastically recommend it. Thanks so much for everything!
