Cabane cosy 3 chambres sur 10 acres dans communauté privée

Welcome to Wilderness Retreat, our private mountain cabin where our family comes to unplug, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge foothills. We hope you experience the same sense of peace and connection to nature that makes this place so special to us.

Escape to your own private 10-acre mountain retreat in a quiet gated community near Lake James, one of North Carolina’s most beautiful and pristine lakes. Surrounded by forest, wildlife, and fresh mountain air, this authentic log cabin offers the perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and outdoor adventure.

With only 20 homes spread across hundreds of wooded acres, the community feels peaceful and secluded while still being just minutes from hiking trails, lake access, local breweries, and charming mountain towns.

The Setting

This cabin sits on 10 private acres of forest and open land, giving you plenty of space to explore, relax, and reconnect with nature.

Wake up to birdsong and cool mountain breezes while enjoying coffee on the porch. During the day you might spot deer grazing in the morning light, wild turkeys crossing the yard, or the occasional fox along the edge of the woods.

At night, the skies fill with stars — the perfect setting for evenings around the fire pit.

Despite the peaceful setting, you're only 10 minutes from Lake James and a short drive from some of Western North Carolina’s best outdoor experiences.
