Welcome to Yona Ridge Cabin—your elevated mountain escape perched at 3,600 feet in the quiet, scenic community of Gingercake Acres which is adjacent to the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area. This is where you come not just to get away, but to exhale.
Slow down and settle into a rhythm of stillness. Whether you're outdoor or indoors reading with a book from our collection of Indigenous authors, unrolling a yoga mat (provided) for a quiet morning stretch, or stargazing through the cabin’s telescope under crystal-clear skies—you’ll find space to reconnect with yourself and the rhythms of nature.
Step out your door and you’re minutes from world-class hikes—Table Rock, Hawksbill, and Sitting Bear are all within easy reach. Or simply walk the peaceful neighborhood gravel roads lined with mountain laurel and rhododendron.
Inside, the great room invites you to linger with a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace and soaring A-frame windows that frame views of the Long Arm Mountain. The cabin is beautifully appointed with a full well appointed kitchen, two wrap-around decks for lounging or dining (gas grill), and comfortable 2 bedrooms with a max occupancy of 6.
The main bedroom is a spacious upstairs open loft featuring a king-size bed, full bath with a beautiful tiled shower, and a private balcony perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. **Please note the upstairs bathroom follows an open-concept design and does not have a door for full enclosure**. The downstairs bedroom offers a full-size bed, a twin bed with an additional twin pull-out, and charming barn doors for a rustic touch. It’s conveniently located next to the downstairs full bathroom and features direct access to the wraparound porch for easy outdoor enjoyment. You’ll also find a washer and dryer for longer stays in the downstairs bathroom.
Come to Yona Ridge Cabin and create your own quiet, restorative mountain memories. You may never want to leave.
