About this property

Trails End Cabin, Pet Friendly, Lake James Oasis

Secluded cabin in the woods located in Nebo, NC in close proximity to Lake James, known to be one of the most scenic and cleanest lakes in the Southeast. We have an awesome outdoor area to enjoy with fire pit to relax around. Property directly links to the OverMountain Victory Trail via stone staircase with access to hundreds of miles of beautiful hiking. We are best suited to sleep 4 but 6 is ok if you don't mind a sleeper sofa (its new). We are located 4 miles from the Linville Gorge, 2.2 miles from Lake James State Park, 1.2 miles from Fonta Flora Brewery at Whippoorwill, and 7 miles from Mica Town Brewery Nebo. Marion Lake Club is within about 5 miles if you love golf, they also have a very tasty bistro called Slices. Mountain bike, hike, swim, kayak or canoe at Lake James State Park. Rent a boat to enjoy Lake James. Unfortunately, our property does not have adequate space for you to bring your own boat.

This is the perfect little mountain cottage. Very welcoming and pet friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the property and trails. The fire pit is wonderful at night. The kids loved cutting open the persimmon seed we found in the yard to see what kind of winter it predicted!

Trails end cabin

Peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy with family or friends. If you travel with your dog this is a great place for a canine companion. It is convenient to Lake James and great options for hiking.

Great place if you want to get away from it all, peace and quiet. We enjoyed hiking on the trails that can be joined right from the property. In the mornings we saw deer passing through, just behind the tree line. The place is clean, and the hosts clearly care about making your stay pleasant, with lots of nice little touches for you to discover.

Beautiful rustic spot

Small but cozy, we had a great time! So beautiful at night sitting out at the firepit with the very pretty lights they had strung up and enjoying the peaceful cool night air. Good communication the whole time.

5-star Gem in Nebo NC

This private, quaint Trails End Cabin is the best way to experience all of the outdoors that western NC has to offer. The hosts Josh and Sharon, have all of the well stocked amenities, inside and out, to make your stay very comfortable. From plenty of toiletries, extra coffee and quiet outside grilling/fire pit. Could not ask for a better experience and definitely will come back. I would rate 10-Stars if possible!

Secluded Blue Ridge Mountains Escape

My partner and I were looking for a secluded mountain stay for the autumn colors. This place was perfect for what we were looking for. The outdoor fire place was a nice touch as well as the sound of the trickling ~stream. I work remotely, and the internet was not very strong. It was just sufficient enough to carry video calls with intermittent video freezing, though the audio did not freeze on my end... If you need to work while you are staying here, it may not be the best option...but doable for my requirements.

Fantastic getaway!

We absolutely loved this quaint little cottage. It is tucked away providing the quiet and peaceful stay that allows you to reset. The proximity to the Fonta Flora brewery and Lake James was the best! Bonus- you can bring your pup which most places won’t allow.

Perfect getaway

What a perfect getaway!! The cabin is secluded which we loved, the yard was beautiful and spacious. So many hiking options in the area and we hiked to the brewery which was great for drinks and dinner. The cabin was clean and welcoming, we really had a great time. Our two dogs came with us and they loved it as much as my husband and myself.

A lovely place to unwind

Arriving at Trail’s End is such a treat. The little cottage is nestled in at the end of the drive with beautiful rhododendron and rocks and a little creek on site. The back bedroom is a cozy cabin-like room with a very comfortable bed. The trails were fun to explore. Also really enjoyed the Paddy’s Creek trail in Lake James State Park and Fonta Flora brewing (whipporwil farm location) was fantastic. This is a really lovely place. The hosts are so thoughtful and responsive. The place is private and certainly feels safe for solo travelers. Also nice to find a place that welcomes dogs so graciously while still being really clean. Would definitely recommend to others.
