Hike, fish, swim & ski! Close to Grandfather Mountain, skiing & Linville Falls

Our mountain cabin is nestled in the trees within the Linville Land Harbor Community (Newland, NC). Our home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.

The master bedroom has a king size bed with an en suite. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the lower level bedroom boasts two twin size beds and a queen size pull-out couch for additional guests. Our cabin can sleep a total of 8 guests.

The kitchen is fully stocked to meet all your cooking needs. Appliances include: microwave, dishwasher, toaster, blender, hand-held mixer, crock pot, and Keurig coffee maker. We want our cabin kitchen to feel like home.

Ready to relax? We have two living room areas on the main floor. A smaller sitting area allows you to cozy up by the fireplace and kick up your feet on the over-sized recliner and watch TV. The second living area we lovingly call the "treehouse room." This sunroom allows you a wrap-around view of the trees surrounding the cabin. Pile onto the L-shaped sofa to watch a movie on our 60" TV. It's peaceful and a favorite relaxation spot for our family and friends.

A fun space for kids is the lower level. Walk downstairs to a domain that is private yet accessible for parents. You will find a comfy sofa to sit and play Retro Atari. The lower level has a dining table for snacks and games. We have lots of puzzles and games to share with you.

Our large deck is perfect to enjoy the outdoors. The covered area allows you to enjoy the view if it's raining and on sunny days you can grill and dine at the outdoor deck table.

On the main floor we have a full size washer and dryer to assist with your laundry needs. We also have an iron and ironing board should you need it. All your linens and towels are provided for your stay. A baby gate and Pack-n-Play is located in the lower level closet. Outlet covers available.

The elevation at Linville Land Harbor is a cool 3600 feet. At this time we do NOT have air conditioning, as normally we do not need it. The cabin is housed with many fans to help keep you cool if needed. When the windows are open, they bring a nice breeze. We also have Google Home which make turning on and off lights, play music and gain local information in a snap. A list of commands will be available for reference.

Linville Land Harbor is a community full of activities. As our guest, you will enjoy all the amenities. Take a dip in the pool, enjoy fishing, play a round of golf, and hike the surrounding trails.

What drew us to Linville Land Harbor was the convenience to the surrounding attractions. You are a short drive to Grandfather Mountain, 15 minutes to Sugar Mountain and Banner Elk, 25-30 minutes to Beech Mountain, and 30 minutes to Boone and Blowing Rock. Both Sugar and Beech Mountain are popular ski resorts. At Beech Mountain, there is a children's sledding hill that children can sled for free. If you like snow tubing, Jonas Ridge and Hawksnest Snow Tubing is a short drive away.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is just around the corner and is a beautiful route during all seasons (but autumn is just gorgeous)! Linville Falls and Linville Caverns are nearby as well. The Linville Falls and Banner Elk Wineries are close by for the wine connoisseur or novice.

We hope you find our mountain getaway a place that makes you feel at home. The mountains are calling...come and join us at Balsam Cabin.
