About this property

Entire place

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Fantastic family vacation

This house is magnificent! Seriously jaw-dropping! Beautifully decorated, well manicured, has everything you need. The views are beautiful and the hiking -right off the back porch- is amazing! Lots of great hiking trails in the area as well as cute eating places. Spent lots of time in the kitchen and den area cooking, eating and playing games. Loved the corn hole and shuffleboard table. Family vacation with our adult kids and everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms! Great time! Want to come back in warmer weather!

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 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!

Everything was Wonderful

What a wonderful two weeks in the mountains. We were a group of family and friends, ages 3 to 75, looking to beat the Savannah summer heat. Little Bit ‘O Heaven was just perfect. Big, spacious and well appointed we had everything we needed and more. Don’t hesitate to rent this house. Special thanks to Rick and Martha for all your help. You have built a wonderful home for your lovely family, and I am sure you all will enjoy it for many years to come. Cheers, Stuart & Daryn
