KEY Curation Notes

A modernized home inside the Linville Land Harbor resort community, sitting in a wooded setting about 6 miles from Grandfather Mountain and under 10 miles from Sugar Mountain Resort. The community itself is the differentiating feature here — it operates more like a mountain resort than a typical neighborhood.
Four bedrooms across two levels, sleeping up to 8. Main level has two queen suites, each with a private bathroom. Lower level has a king bedroom and a bunk room sharing one full bathroom — a natural split for a mixed group of adults and kids. King bedroom is the primary suite.
Linville Land Harbor community access is notably comprehensive for a vacation rental in this price range. Included: an 18-hole golf course, an indoor heated pool, fishing and kayaking on the lake, hiking trails, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, basketball, and a Patio Grill on-site (open May–October). The community has a private resort feel that sets it apart from other Linville-area rentals.
Gas fire table on the deck for outdoor evenings. Keurig and drip coffee maker both on-site. EV charger in the garage. Well-stocked kitchen with all essentials.
Pet-friendly — up to 2 mature dogs (40 lbs max each). Dogs must be crated when left alone in the home.
Grandfather Mountain State Park is 6 miles away, Linville Falls roughly 20 minutes, and Banner Elk under 15 minutes for dining and activity access.
AWD or 4WD required November through April. Starter supplies provided for approximately one to two nights; KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before arrival so you hit the ground running.

Things you need to know

Beyond the walls of this lovely home, the Linville Land Harbor community presents a wealth of amenities to enhance your stay. Nature enthusiasts will revel in the hiking opportunities, while the community offers opportunities for friendly competitions with seasonally available amenities (open May-Oct) such as a recreation room, shuffleboard, basketball, and tennis. A serene lake beckons for fishing or kayaking, providing an idyllic backdrop for outdoor activities.

For those seeking relaxation, a wonderful swimming pool awaits (open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day each year).

The public golf course has gorgeous views as you walk through the neighborhoods and lake. Next to Hole #9 is the newly built addition, The Patio Grill. It offers a quick bite to eat or drink. The Patio Grill will be open for both breakfast and lunch during the operational season. The Grill's hours are 7:30am - 3:30pm.

This home has 2 exterior security cameras, camera 1 is above the garage door monitoring the parking area, and camera 2 is a doorbell-style camera monitoring the main entryway only. No other cameras are present at the property.

The property is set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a STARTER SET of toilet tissue, paper towels, bath toiletries, dish soap, and trash bags. This is enough for one or two nights, but if you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.

We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.

This home comes equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crockpots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item, it is best to bring that from your home.

This home is not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items, including plastic wrap or foil.
