About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to A Little Bit O' Heaven!

This is a 3-year-old custom-built home, beautifully furnished and created for your family's memories. It is located in Catatoga Club, a private gated community in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina.


This home sits on Lake Catatoga with canoes, paddleboards, a dock, fishing, swimming, and hiking trails all available, along with numerous waterfalls within steps from our back porch. While fishing is prohibited in the creeks, it is welcomed in the lake behind our home. We do have a few poles but you might want to bring your own as they get damaged regularly.

You will also have access to the Catatoga swim and tennis facilities, and hot tub during the summer months. For those seeking a peaceful and scenic relaxing mountain retreat, you will find plenty to savor in this breathtaking community.

After a full day outdoors, you can come back for some ping pong, shuffleboard, Cornhole, or simply relax on your outdoor swing bed. 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!

-4 King size bedrooms with private bathrooms
-Bunk bedroom with double mattresses and a small trundle underneath. Daybed on the back porch can even sleep 2 more if needed. We also have an air mattress available upon request.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Perfect Home Away From Home Retreat

Walking into this beautiful mountain retreat, one immediately feels right at home. It is the perfect mix of luxury and comfort. Martha and Rick have thought of every detail to make your stay perfect. This home has the perfect amount of space which makes it perfect for a large family getaway or a vacation with friends. There are plenty of activities to choose from close to the property. Hiking, golf, fishing, great small town restaurants & Asheville is only about 40 minutes away. We definitely will return and I can't recommend this property highly enough as well as the attention to detail Rick and Martha go out of their way to provide.
