Hosted by Flying Squirrel Cottages, White Laurel Cottage is nestled in the mountains at the heart of Linville Falls. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the surrounding beauty and the location is ideal as a basecamp for exploring Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, The Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, and the Banner Elk ski slopes in the winter season. We love this cottage because, while close to attractions and dining, you’re tucked away in the heart of the Pisgah National Forest and can enjoy nature’s finest pleasures. If you enjoy conversation, reading a book, adventure such as hiking, biking, skiing this cottage is perfect. Enjoy our new high speed Starlink internet! This cabin is pet friendly! We love to take our dogs to the mountains and hike so want to afford you the same pleasure. We ask that you limit to 2 pets in this cottage. There are 2 bedrooms and a bath upstairs along with 2 bedrooms and a bath downstairs. Access to the downstairs is via a private outside covered stairway on the rear deck. The glassed in dining area is great for 3 season use, it is unheated so winter meals are better enjoyed at the inside table next to the fireplace. Due to a large increase in booking volume and the cleaning process our team adheres to requiring the full turnover window, early checkin or late checkout aren't possible. Entire cabin There is a security camera at the exterior of the front door that is only accessed if a problem occurs. Your four hosts, Cam, Lisa, Anne and Kip are readily available via phone or email to answer any questions but we will not come to the cabin during your stay unless needed. Our street is private so there is no through traffic. You are very close to great hiking and biking trails as well as area Linville and Newland amenities. Our hot tub is serviced weekly by a certified technician. The hot tub is generally in very good condition for our guests to enjoy. Periodically our cleaning team or a guest will find the tub needing service in between the weekly service visits. (Typically, this happens when a prior guest does not follow our spa guide and the water becomes discolored, low on water, etc.) Our technician lives in the area and can come to service the spa within 24hrs. For this reason, we cannot guarantee or warrant the condition of the spa. We have a nice outdoor firepit, we do not supply the wood however it can be purchased at a local convenience store by the bundle or you may choose to bring your own.
