    Woodsy cottage next to Lake James

    Outdoor enthusiast retreat, mountain biking and hiking heaven! Relax with the whole family at this peaceful, brand new adorable cottage nestled in the woods right next to the Fonta Flora trail. Jump onto the trail for hiking or biking winding around scenic Lake James for 30+ miles of beauty or walk 1 mile to the county beach for some splashing and sun bathing. Enjoy the evenings on the patio or around the fire pit, BBQ & picnic table. Lake James is one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in NC and perfect temperature all summer long. We are 5 mins away from Mimosa landing for boat launch. 15 min from adorable downtown Morganton with many great restaurants and breweries to enjoy. 40 min from historic scenic Blue Ridge parkway and Linville Gorge with cute mountain towns, waterfall hikes, gem mining and much more to discover. With few crowds and so much to do you will fall in love and want to make this a yearly escape. Also available same property, 2+ person Yurt with water access.

    Great little cabin!
    We were in the area to look at property and needed a home base to venture out from. This cabin fit the bill perfectly. Its located in a great area that is private, peaceful, and easily accessible to the rest of the town. Its a great place to get away from busy streets and traffic. It was clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. Our dogs LOVED the yard.

    Wedding Weekend
    Our son got married at Rose Haven Venue on Lake James. We needed a place to stay that was close. This house was perfect and very close to the venue. It was very clean and met our needs perfectly. I would stay there again.

    Perfect stay
    The house was clean, new, well stocked, and well thought out. Communication with the host was quick and easy. She even texted to let us know the house was ready early. The location to the Fonta Flora trail is incredible. Will stay here again!

    33rd Anniversary Trip
    We rented the cabin for our 33rd anniversary and went to the Biltmore for the Christmas Tour. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. I help one of our daughters clean vacation rentals in Florida and I was very impressed with how clean everything was. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely keep this one on our list of places to stay.
