About this property

River Cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains (Land Harbor)

Nanny's river cabin is located in the community of Linville Land Harbor. The cabin has 2 bedrooms, a loft, and 2 bathrooms (one is a basement bathroom). The two main floor bedrooms each have a queen bed and there is a large loft with two twin beds and a queen bed. The living room has a cozy cabin feel. There are televisions in the living room, master bedroom and the loft. There are cable boxes on the main floor TVs. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, stove/oven, refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, dishes, and cooking/eating utensils. We have a pack and play with mattress, side rail to add to any bed in the house, chair top high chair, and bath chair available for families traveling with little ones. Relax and take in the fresh mountain air on one of two decks. Sit on the back deck and observe nature with a view of the woods. It is the last house on a dead end road so there are no neighbors to one side. At the end of the road is the lake and the river. Peaceful and private. Birds, hummingbirds, squirrels, chipmunks, foxes, and rabbits are some of our most common visitors. There is a fire pit in the side yard. From the side yard, take a short trail through the woods to the river. There is a bridge that goes over the river to a beautiful area next to the lake with tent platforms, tree platforms, picnic tables, grills, and a fire pit. There are walking trails and amenities all throughout Land Harbor. You can visit the Land Harbor website to see all of the amenities. With an elevation of 3600 feet, the weather is great year-round. Summers are cooler and the winters are mild compared to other areas of the country. Linville Land Harbor offers a wide variety of amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Amenities include: golf course, Junior Olympic sized swimming pool, recreation center, hiking trails, lake, rivers, covered pavilion with grills, tent platforms and tree stands on the lake, playground, basketball court, children's pond, and more. You can feel safe while staying at Land Harbor with its own North Carolina Certified law enforcement agency which serves the community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Please note: The fireplace is currently not available for use but there is a fire pit in our yard and just on the other side of the river behind the cabin. It is recommended for a 4 wheel drive during times of snow/freeze. The pool allows 5 guests at a time. Fishing in the lake requires a permit that we call in prior to your stay and is a fee per day through Land Harbor. They have rules on what bait you may use. The river behind the cabin does not require a permit and there are other places in the area to fish as well.

Great stay

Stayed for a weekend to take my kids snow tubing for Christmas. Very close to the attraction and close enough drive to town for food, movies, other attractions. Loved the upstairs room for my 4 young children. Great bed arrangement. Heat in the house works too well haha. Very cozy, inviting, home thats just as described in listening. Awesome communication with host whenever we had any questions and even prior to the trip during the booking process. Would definitely stay again and make it a family tradition. Definitely true about 4 wheel drive in the winter. There was a light snow when we came up and the road was icy after. The main roads were salted and immediately cleared but the roads in the neighborhood are tight and have a few small hills and places where the sun doesnt melt the snow/ice so it can get slippery.

Had a very peaceful stay. The stream behind the house with the dam made it seem like you were deep in the woods. The dogs had fun walking in the edge water.

Fishing Trip

Entry is easy with a combo lock - no key to lose. cabin not only looked clean - it smelled clean! Owner arranged for fishing permits with the HOA so that we could fish on property. They even had little hotel style soaps/shampoos/conditioners. One of the nicest VRBO stays we’ve had.

Decent

I thought the property was alright. It wasn't spectacular but it wasn't horrible either. I knew what I was expecting though. I didn't realize there was no air conditioning. Im sure its in the description and I missed it. I clean houses for a living as well as air b n bs. So I will never give 5 stars unless it meets my level of clean. Alltogether I would definitely stay there again.The host was very kind.

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.

The Stream is right behind the property

Dated house yet clean. quiet neighborhood with a view to the lake and the dam. Heat is done by baseboards and they were efective. Ceiling fans in all the rooms. Nice for a few days to see the peak color changes in the mountains.

My stay at Linville Falls

Really liked the cabin and the surroundings especially the waterfall and stream and all of the grounds at the end of the property, cabin could have been cleaner was very dusty and smelled musty and damp especially up in the loft. Would definitely stay there again if those things were corrected!

Sweet Cottage

Everything was fine at this property except the TV did not work and there was quite a bit of construction traffic on our little street while we were there. Land Harbor is a nice community , but it is not close to anything. In order to find a decent restaurant or grocery store, you must drive 10 miles to Banner Elk.

Snow Tubing Adventure

The owner was fantastic to work with, I cannot say enough about her kindness! The cabin was very clean, plenty of towels and wash cloths. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable! We were there with our two Grandsons who really enjoyed the "Kid Cave" in the upstirs loft. Plenty of room! It snowed a lot while we were there and the boys were invited by the neighbor across the street to come sledding with their children. Wonderful community! Will definitely be back.

Lynne Michael’s review

The property was nice. The toilet seat was broken when we got there and needs to be replaced in the bathroom on the main floor. We saw the maid service person as we we’re leaving and I showed her that. The doorknob on the bathroom door needs to be replaced will fall off soon . I didn’t point that out to the maid I am sorry . We didn’t care for the dry electrical heat. The family history was a nice touch. I felt the additional service fees and cleaning fees were over the top. That doubled the cost. For that reason I would into something else before doing this again.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Kickham

Host profile image
I am one of three grandchildren who currently own Nanny's Cabin. We have enjoyed it for over 30 years and have a lot of great information to share of things to do and places to see in the area.

Why they chose this property

Location. Location. Location. Our Grandmother, Nanny, fell in love with the property and designed her dream cabin. She loved nature and was an environmentalist. The property is great with trails accessible in walking distance. It is the last cabin on a dead end road which ends on a lake. Land Harbor is a resort community with numerous things to do. This cabin is located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway and close to many area attractions, including: Linville falls, Grandfather mountain, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Beech Mountain Ski Resort, Blowing Rock, Boone, Hawksnest Ski Resort, Linville Cavern, Alpine coaster, Tweetsie railroad, and many more.

What makes this property unique

It has a unique Swiss cabin appeal surrounded by woods. Wonderful community with lots of amenities. Lots of area attractions.
