Loved the location. Convenient to everything! Very cozy. The upstairs needed a light bulb but with only the 3 of us we just used the two main floor bedrooms. The river was pretty and in walking distance, we took some beautiful pictures there.

Sweet, rustic cabin

Well-loved family cabin in wooded area was private but had easy access to highway and local restaurants. Especially pretty neighborhood in autumn! Kids would love it, but close to the lake, so young ones would need supervision.

Another great stay!

This is our second stay at Granny's Cabin and again it was a peaceful get-away for our 20th anniversary. The location is quiet and peaceful and easy to access (outside of the fog and mist!). Everything was as advertised and listed and we had no trouble at all. Great place and we'll be back again.

Wonderful month!

The cabin was great and was in a wonderful area. We absolutely love Linville Land Harbor! Such a beautiful place. Golfing , canoeing, hiking, and socializing. We even took our golf cart so we could tour around in the quaint, adorable home sections. The leaves were beautiful and the weather perfect! We will definitely be back!
