About this property

PRIVATE LOG CABIN WITH INCREDIBLE VIEW - ONLY 4 MILES TO LAKE JAMES -

Modern log cabin with million dollar views set in private gated community. No visible neighbors in front view so very private. Porch/deck on three sides. Wide open living room and modern kitchen with granite counters. 2 bed rooms downstairs with master suite upstairs. Great sitting area in loft with best view of Shortoff mountain and Table Rock. Satellite TV in living room and vcr with movies in loft. No WIFI sorry, but you wont need it. Sit on the porch and unwind. Unfinished basement with ice hockey table. Neighborhood has pool as well. Fire pit with benches.

One of my pet peeves when traveling is having to wait for check in. Therefore, I always try to get the cabin ready and often can allow EARLY CHECK IN and/or LATE CHECK OUT.

The cabin is not appropriate for children under age 10 and we do not allow pets or smoking (even outside).

Our neighborhood is one of the best parts of this rental. It is broken into two parts, both of which are gated. The lower part has only 2 houses in it and has a private community pool, a small stream, and lots of space to walk and bike. One of my recent renters fell in love with the neighborhood and purchased their own second home here.

Only 4 miles to boat access ramp. Two state parks very close by - 1 with picnic areas and hiking and another with a sandy beach and swimming area. Easy access to Black Mountain (30 minutes) and Asheville (50 minutes). The Blue Ridge Parkway at Linville falls is only 45 minutes away and Linville caverns is a 40 minute drive. Both Marion and Morganton have cute downtowns and are both 15 minutes away in opposite directions. Morganton has a nice 4 mile paved greenway along a river which is great for walking or biking.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had an excellent stay for 3 days over the holidays with our family. We enjoyed the convenient location and the view of the mountains was wonderful. The kitchen included all the necessary items for preparing our meals and the bedrooms were nicely appointed. We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace on a couple nights.

Great Views & Location

This beautiful and quiet mountain home has great views of Table Rock and Shortoff Mountain. The location is great in terms of proximity to Lake James, Morganton and Marion. The house was very clean, and the host, Brian, was very communicative and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again for future trips to the area.

Lake James NC Cabin Stay

Beautiful, quiet cabin location. Brian, our host, was as professional as anyone could hope for. Home was well furnished, very clean, easy check in. Not a problem for us but it is a smaller parking area at base of cabin but definitely manageable. Would happily stay here again fir just the views off the balcony facing the mountains. Certainly a top tier rental.

Family weekend

A lovely cabin. It feels like it's hidden in the woods with a beautiful view of the mountains and the sound of bird songs. The little community is right around the corner from I40, very easy to get to. Close to the lake, makes for a quick trip "home" after a long day on the water. And if you happen to get rained in, there are plenty of bored games and puzzles to keep everyone entertained. Very clean and tidy place, wonderful host, Brian, goes above and beyond. Highly recommend a visit.

Recent stay for family emergency.

We loved our location of the property and the view of the mountains. Brian was prompt in replying to any questions we had. An idea to note for future guests would be nearby grocery stores like Ingles, etc. An additional idea would be to some how design the driveway for a wider turnaround area whenever departing property. Can be challenging! Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed the home.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 26, 2023
After 50 straight 5 star reviews we were very disappointed to get our first 4. I reached out to the guest and she said, “I rarely give a 5 and the driveway was too small”. I go the extra mile to make sure all my guests have a fabulous stay, but you can’t please everyone.

Excellent. What else can I say.

Hosts like Brian are the reason we try to stay at listings by owners instead of management companies. The house was beautiful, well furnished, well stocked, clean, and accurate to the listing. After booking, Brian made contact with me to see if I had any questions and provided me a list of things to do in the area. He was also able to get us into the house early on our arrival date. After we arrived he checked in to make sure that the house was in order and see if we had any questions. The house was well stocked with books, movies, games, and various coffies and hot chocolates. There was more than enough seating and plates and silverware. The neighborhood is very quiet and spacious. The lots are big and the houses are spaced out. The pool was very clean and well kept. All the roads to the house are paved. They are narrow, which is normal for mountain homes, but there was room to pull off if someone came in the opposite direction, but with so few houses, we never passed anyone. We loved the week that we spent here, and hope to come back again.

Beautiful, quiet, & relaxing…

We traveled to Nebo for a family wedding in the area. The house is located in a very quiet beautiful gated neighborhood and felt very private. We were greeted by a few deer when we first arrived. It was exciting and the house was amazing! The first thing that takes your breath away are the floor to ceiling windows in the great room. The views are stunning! The house was very clean and had everything you’d need. We did however need an iron and ironing board for our clothes for the wedding and there wasn’t one. Normally who would need that on vacation at a lake cabin right? So I got in touch with the owner and he immediately got on it and got us one. He was so kind and communicated with us about everything. We just wish we could’ve enjoyed the house more as we were very busy with the family wedding and festivities surrounding it. If we ever make it back to Nebo we will DEFINITELY rent this home again!

Gorgeous cabin in a beautiful location

Renting this cabin was just what we needed. Time to unplug from our busy everyday schedule. Cabin was clean, checking in was a breeze and communication with the property owner was fantastic. There is so much to do in the area. We skied and hiked during the day and relaxed in the cozy cabin at night. Sitting on the deck at sunset with the gorgeous Mountain View’s was so peaceful! I definitely recommend this cabin for your stay!!
