About this property
Pine Knot Cabin | Pet-Friendly & 3 min. to Lake James!
Built in the 1930s, and lovingly restored in 2022, this rustic cabin is just a 3-minute drive to the Mimosa Boat Landing on Lake James, making it the perfect getaway spot for couples, young families, or small groups looking for quality time in a cozy setting. Original stonework can be found throughout the property, including around the fire pit and outdoor chimney, and creates a charming outdoor space to unwind after a fun-filled day on the lake!
