The Linville Area
Gable Haus is a good base camp for exploring the high country, located just two miles from Grandfather Mountain, 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway which can take you to the town of Blowing Rock via the Linville Viaduct, the southern route takes you to Linville Falls, Linville Caverns and Linville Gorge. At 3600 ft elevation, this enchanted place in the Blue Ridge is a wonderful retreat or just a place to get away.
