My family had a wonderful 4 day stay, there was plenty of room in the cabin with everything we needed to cook. We enjoyed walking our dogs in the neighborhood going to Linville Winery the leaves were so beautiful to. We will definitely be staying again.

We truly enjoyed our stay! The cabin was clean & the perfect size. Definitely Nanny's Cabin with it's older style & features as well as the personal touches. The only thing we were a bit disappointed in was some of the Linville Land Harbor amenties required additional fees that we were unaware of. We still enjoyed the free access to the game room! One other item to note is that due to the devastating flood, the bridge mentioned in the listing that you can use to walk from the cabin over to the park is no longer there. Otherwise, we loved our stay & appreciate the prompt communication with the owner.

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.

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.

Nanny's Cabin is awesome!

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 40 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.
