About this cabin rental

Flora Cabin is nestled into the woods in a secluded neighborhood right below Shortoff Mountain and at the mouth of the Linville Gorge. It is a cozy hand-hewn log cabin, the perfect place for a quiet retreat, a place to relax after a long day at the Lake, or a rendezvous for a mountainous adventure. It is located minutes from Lake James and many hiking and biking trails, a couple being the Fonta Flora Trail, and the Mountain-to-Sea trail.

Our property is situated a few hundred feet from Pisgah National Forest, Linville Gorge, in a quiet neighborhood, but only 20 minutes from downtown Morganton. The Lake James Linville Boat Access is roughly 3 minutes away, Fonta Flora Trail is located across the road and the Fonta Flora Brewery Whippoorwill farm is a short 5 minute drive. Talk about options!

You will have access to the main log cabin house as well as the cottage that is located on the property.

Take a step back in time, when entering this cabin, it's cozy and full of character. The main living room boasts of a beautiful fireplace with gas logs, with comfortable couches and chairs. There is a shared dining room and off this living/dining room is the sweetest mountain kitchen you've ever seen. It is stocked with the pots and pans, coffee maker, and utensils that you'll need to make any sort of meal. The Master is on the main floor featuring a king bed and another dramatic fireplace with gas logs and TV/DVD player. A bathroom with a shower is off the master bedroom as is the laundry room.
Upstairs there is a loft area with a Trundle bed, a Queen, a futon and TV/DVD. Off the loft is a small bedroom with a full bed. There is another Bathroom upstairs with shower and tub.
Walking outside, a generous porch outfitted with comfortable furniture, and fans will be where you want to stay all day long.

Okay, now the cottage!! The cottage is separate from our log cabin, about 50ft away. It features a bedroom with a king bed and a entertainment room The entertainment room hosts the comfy futon (double bed) with tv/DVD player (bring your dvds if you want!) games, books and is a nice space to hang.

This place was so beautiful!! We had 8 total people stay for a week and we all absolutely loved it. It was so homey and allowed for us to create a great sense of community during our visit to North Carolina! We hope to continue staying here for future trips to the area, thank you so very much for letting us stay here!!
