About this property

Trails End Cabin, Pet Friendly, Lake James Oasis

Secluded cabin in the woods located in Nebo, NC in close proximity to Lake James, known to be one of the most scenic and cleanest lakes in the Southeast. We have an awesome outdoor area to enjoy with fire pit to relax around. Property directly links to the OverMountain Victory Trail via stone staircase with access to hundreds of miles of beautiful hiking. We are best suited to sleep 4 but 6 is ok if you don't mind a sleeper sofa (its new). We are located 4 miles from the Linville Gorge, 2.2 miles from Lake James State Park, 1.2 miles from Fonta Flora Brewery at Whippoorwill, and 7 miles from Mica Town Brewery Nebo. Marion Lake Club is within about 5 miles if you love golf, they also have a very tasty bistro called Slices. Mountain bike, hike, swim, kayak or canoe at Lake James State Park. Rent a boat to enjoy Lake James. Unfortunately, our property does not have adequate space for you to bring your own boat.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is the perfect little mountain cottage. Very welcoming and pet friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the property and trails. The fire pit is wonderful at night. The kids loved cutting open the persimmon seed we found in the yard to see what kind of winter it predicted!

Fantastic getaway!

We absolutely loved this quaint little cottage. It is tucked away providing the quiet and peaceful stay that allows you to reset. The proximity to the Fonta Flora brewery and Lake James was the best! Bonus- you can bring your pup which most places won’t allow.

Great place if you want to get away from it all, peace and quiet. We enjoyed hiking on the trails that can be joined right from the property. In the mornings we saw deer passing through, just behind the tree line. The place is clean, and the hosts clearly care about making your stay pleasant, with lots of nice little touches for you to discover.

Quiet Retreat in the Country

A weekend getaway with my wife landed us at this great little cottage. Quiet, isolated with a great fire pit. One of the best features is the Brewery right down the street with an amazing outdoor area and beer selection. We had a wonderful relaxing weekend.
