Linville Hollow

Nestled along the Linville River less than 10 minutes from Lake James, Linville Hollow offers quick access to the Linville River, Fonta Flora State, and Wolf Pit Trailheads and is the perfect place to get away and enjoy everything the Lake James area has to offer. Spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Loop in Lake James State Park, Daffodil Flats (named for the thousands of daffodils on view in early Spring), or High Shoal Falls in South Mountains State Park before grabbing a refreshing craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm just 7 minutes away. You'll also want to visit the award-winning South Creek Winery while in Nebo. Take a quick 25-minute drive to reach downtown Marion where you can spend your afternoon exploring the new 310 District, an indoor shopping space that's home to Toonez Chop House, Chances of Sprinkles Bakery, and several retail shops. For dinner, head J. Hartman's for fresh seafood and a cocktail, or McDowell Local for a handcrafted dish paired with the NC staple, Cheerwine. Take another 25-minute drive in the opposite direction to reach Morganton, affectionately known as Nature's Playground and home to South Mountains State Park. Offering a dizzying array of mountains, cliffs, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and more multisport options than you can ever imagine, you can spend your day on outdoor adventures or spend your day exploring downtown Morganton's local shops, seasonal Farmers Markets, and incredible restaurants and breweries like Root and Vine, Treat, Catawba Brewing Company, and Fonta Flora's original location and taproom. Linville Hollow is also within an hour's drive of Chimney Rock, Asheville, and the Biltmore Estate, so you can see and experience all that western North Carolina has to offer during your mountain getaway!
