Escape to Linville Falls & Jonas Ridge: Spacious home, yard and adorable creek!

*Back by popular demand!! -- Granny's House is restored and ready for your family vacation!*

Escape the chaos of city life by visiting our beautiful, warm mountain home. Built in the early 1940's by our grandparents, you will feel the presence of love, laughter and memories as soon as you walk through the door.

On the property, you can enjoy a picnic by a peaceful, crystal clear stream full of wonderful aquatic life for little ones to explore and enjoy. Relax on one of our two covered porches as you enjoy the refreshing mountain air. If you love campfire stories and S'mores, our property features a private patio area with a hand built fire pit, crafted with river rocks from the property. In the summer months, you will be able to pick and enjoy heirloom blueberries that have been nurtured by many generations of our family. Abundant wildlife inhabit the property, providing an opportunity to view amazing and beautiful creatures as they pass through.

Wonderful
We enjoyed our time at granny’s and found it to be more spacious than expected. I am very picky about cleanliness and the cottage was the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. It was very comfortable and cozy. The linens, both bath towels and bedding were very clean, soft and smelled amazing. We enjoyed the hiking trails nearby, Linville Falls, Linville Gorge and Grandfather Mountain, all were a very short drive. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. We loved the setting and the little creek that runs through the property. And the front porch swing!! We’d definitely stay here again. We loved everything about it!!

Nothing short of Amazing
We LOVED this property! It fit all of us easily and it was in the perfect location! Close to lots of attractions in the area, but on a quiet road so you can sit out on the front porch swing and not hear too much road noise. Check-in and Check-out process is super smooth and Heidi, the owner, is very friendly! She was very easy to get ahold of to answer any questions we had about the house or the area. We will definitely stay here again when/if we make it back up to the area! Kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and the bed we slept in was very comfortable. Plenty of land (I believe the property is 5 acres) to walk and explore if the weather is nice—we didn’t get that lucky, but maybe next time! ☺️ An excellent stay! 10/10 recommend!

Perfect get away!
Just what we needed for the occasion. Very clean and cozy. Only 10 minutes from town but far enough to be quiet. Had everything we needed. Will stay again in the spring. Would like to be able to raise the windows and listen to the stream. It was a bit too cold for that during our stay.

Nice clean home
The house was nice and cozy and had everything that we needed for our stay. The location was good, not too close or too far from the places we wanted to visit. The only problem was the wifi was not good and skipped a lot when watching tv and dvd. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

The property was beautiful and we had a great time! Although the weather was rainy most of the weekend we enjoyed watching a movie on the TV, playing games inside and just enjoying family time. The rain did clear up for a bit to make it to the falls which we loved to hike and was just around the corner on the property. It felt like we went on a trip to our Grandma's house. :)

Great Property and Communication!
This is a great little spot that's nice and secluded. We were looking for a place that was quiet and private, and it more than fit the bill. Lots of space and comfortable seating inside and plenty of amenities, with a porch swing and fire pit outside as well. The place just has a very good vibe and is well-maintained. And should you need to contact the property owner for any reason or with a question, she is super-responsible and helpful. I normally do not write reviews, but can recommend this location very highly!

Perfect Location, Great House
Loved the house. It was in a prime location for all the hiking we did. The house was very clean, well maintained, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only thing I wish I would have known was that there wasn't firewood provided for the firepit. If we would have known, we would have brought some or bought some on the way into town. Not a big deal, but just something others might want to consider. Still a five-star experience though.

Very convenient to Linville Gorge and Wiseman's View
Very clean with modern appliances. However the beds could use an upgrade. Our friends stayed in the bedroom with a desk, but commented that the bed was very squeaky with every move. We stayed in the room that we thought had a standard size bed, but it was too short for someone 5'7", let alone for my husband who is 6'. I noticed that the headboard tilted inward when we arrived that evening, but only discovered the issue that night when this bed also squeaked. The second night was the roughest when the slats shifted and a corner of the bed fell. My husband is mechanical so discovered what the issue was and fixed it in the early portion of the night. However, sleep was difficult. The 3rd and 4th night he slept on the couch, since the twin beds were also too short. Would we return and rent, again? If the beds are upgraded. Enjoyed the fire pit outside. Traffic outside the front door could be bothersome.

Corner of Heaven
Corner of Heaven on Earth We had such an amazing time at the cabin around 4th of July, escaping scorching heat of Florida to find this place which had long sleeve temperatures in the morning and at night. Very nice property and at location away from the city craziness. We enjoyed barbecuing, making smores around the fire pit, star gazing without the city lights, eating blueberries and raspberries, taking strolls on the property listening to the birds, and the calming sound of the stream, listening to the crickets and frogs in the evening and enjoying the fireflies' light show. Enjoyed the cozy cabin, quite large for the five of us, enjoyed the fireplace, spent lots of time on the porch enjoying nature. Close to amazing trails, we enjoyed the easier, but also very rewarding ones, amazing waterfalls and views.

We enjoyed our stay here so much! There are a couple trails you can explore with a little stream. Snow tubing approx 5 minutes away was fun! The house itself was clean and big enough for us all and then some! Kitchen is fully stocked and the house has plenty of blankets and towels. We would stay again!

Our time together at "Granny's House" was perfect. The house was incredibly clean and everything has been updated. We had everything that we needed for a perfect week! Heidi went above and beyond to be sure all of our questions were answered and even gave us great advice on places to visit and eat. We could not have loved this house more and HIGHLY recommend it for any family. It was awesome!

Off the grid.
Everything was very clean; however, I have rented several times on vrbo and have had varying degrees of welcoming. This particular rental didn’t even supply toilet paper or propane to enjoy our stay. We usually are welcomed with a bottle of wine and soaps. And it is specifically important to mention that when you stay that you are totally off grid meaning you will be lucky if you have WiFi or any use of your phone whatsoever. We were fine with being off the grid and we made it work; but, it would have been nice to know that in advance. The property was beautiful, just wish we were more prepared and informed.
