Charming cabin in a beautiful area. Clean and modern inside and extremely comfortable. Wonderful hiking trail up to a Christmas tree farm. Incredible location convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We look forward to returning soon!

We loved our stay! The cabin was amazing. It was so clean, and had so many amenities. Everything was so clearly explained, and made our stay so enjoyable. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to enjoy a piece of history.

As a historian and an amateur wood craftsman, this log cabin allowed us the opportunity to stay in a restored and relocated 200 year old log cabin. The historian part of me laughs at the lavish residences of those who lived 200 years ago - knowing fully well that they are full of wishful imagination. Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood cabin was just a single room, 16 feet by 12 feet log cabin. This cabin from a decade later was a much larger single room log cabin with a sleeping loft. The restoration has added much more: a kitchen and bathroom, two sleeping areas upstairs, Mountain clear running water, hot water, oven and stove, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, television, and WiFi. It is nested in a mostly shaded hardwood forest where we watched deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, and birds make their way. The front porch is an excellent place to relax in one of the four rocking chairs and read in the peaceful quietness. Located at about 3,600 feet in elevation, our week in July was comfortable even without air conditioning. The electric fans provided plenty of air circulation. Now for my woodcrafting knowledge: the old oak logs are hand hewed, and the original adz and axe marks are clearly visible. The wooden, country furniture is largely handmade of black walnut, oak, wormy chestnut, and red cedar. All tastefully complete the interior.

Martha & Dan’s 200 year-old, restored mountain cabin is beyond words. You must see it & experience it for yourself!! We, unfortunately, didn’t get to spend as much time at the cabin & on the property as we would have liked, but I will certainly clear my calendar for another trip to Little Switzerland, just to soak in all that this little “cabin in the woods” has to offer! Martha & Dan have everything you could need or want (down to a pair of readers, in case you forgot yours!!). What a cozy, wonderful hidden gem!! We were surprised to find that the bathroom was downstairs, while the bedrooms were upstairs! That didn’t hamper our stay, however. The pull out sofa suited us just fine! They even had it already made up and ready for the night!! Many thanks for a cozy retreat in the woods!!

Would not hesitate to stay here again. Communication with owner was great and condition of property, stated amenities was as advertised. This cabin under promises but over delivers for a great weekend getaway!

This cabin is beautifully restored and furnished with interesting antiques but outfitted with all the modern necessities and conveniences. It is cozy (love the fireplace and gas logs) and secluded, but close to the Switzerland Inn and Little Switzerland community so that a quick drive will take you to a general store, cafe, pub (outdoor music in the summer) and restaurant. For motorcyclists, the infamous 226-A begins/ends at Little Switzerland. For hikers, Grassy Creek Falls is nearby (within walking distance of the cabin for real hikers) and Crabtree Falls is just short drive down Blue Ridge Parkway. I would caution that this is an authentic restored cabin, and the stairway to the bedrooms could be a real challenge for some older people and children. In addition, the sloping ceilings in the bedrooms are low on the sides and take a little getting used to.

Beautiful cabin - in the woods and private yet conveniently accessible to the road. Fantastic area, it's been too long since we been up in the mountains, and this is the best VRBO we've ever had. Good supplies in kitchen for alot cooking (which I love to do) and very cozy but not too small living/dining area and master bedroom. Made trips to downtown Ashville and surrounding towns - Swiss Mountain is a beautiful place. Thank-you for your hospitality, we will surely come back - hopefully sometime next year. Jane Mussehl

This lovely cabin is a gift. Hosts Martha and Dan are so very generous to share their wonderful cabin. It has all the necessities and is clean, and cozy. We so enjoyed hiking on the trails on the property as well. The cabin and property are relaxing and restorative. We hope to say again soon. Highly recommend! Kari & Jim

Not the greatest place for older folks. Stairs to the upper bedrooms were a little hazardous and no bathroom upstairs, ended up sleeping on the pull-out sofa all week to avoid going up and down those steps.

This cabin was very beautiful and peaceful. We have not had a vacation in over 8 years and this was just what we needed. The trails on the property are awesome. The rain on the tin roof was very relaxing. It also snowed overnight on our last nigt there it was so beautiful to wake up to. Martha and Dan have a great cabin with everything you would ever need.

My husband and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary and stayed here. We had a wonderful stay. The host, Martha made it very special for us and left us an anniversary card, desserts and an anniversary banner. The cabin was very welcoming and clean. Everything you need is there. We also went hiking that had a beautiful waterfall nearby.

Very enjoyable weekend getaway. Property was very clean and well stocked with the essentials. Communication with host was fast and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful time at this special property! Martha is a wonderful host and the cabin is very charming, comfortable and historic. Everywhere you look in the cabin has something interesting even a spinning wheel! We enjoyed several hikes in the area and a lunch at the Switzerland Inn. We hope to return one day!

The property was as described. Very clean. Martha even recognized our anniversary with a nice banner and some awesome goodies. Enjoyed the fireplace too!

Wonderful cabin. Enjoyed seeing deer and chipmunks. Trails were nice for evening walk. Cabin was stocked with items needed. The stairs to bedrooms are tricky but you are in a 200 yr old cabin. Loved the furnishings. Thank you Martha for sharing your cabin with us.

This was a wonderful place to stay in the NC mountains. A cozy cabin in a beautiful location.

Wonderful

Beautiful property! Lovely cabin off the Blue Ridge parkway. Extremely clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and lots of privacy. Hosts were very helpful before, during and after. Highly recommended.

Super clean and pleasing cabin, very quiet area with easy, fun hiking trails. All the amenities in the cabin worked flawlessly which is a first for me with rentals. Loved the gas fireplace!

This was a beautiful, rustic cabin located near the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin looked 200 years old on the outside but was very modern on the inside and had all the necessary amenities. There were several nice hikes within minutes of the cabin including the Crabtree Falls hike featuring one of the largest falls in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to rent this cabin again if we’re in the area.

This cabin is exactly as featured. Clean, cool, comfy, and whimsical. The walks around the property are as beautiful as the home.

This a great location to chill out with family.

The place is not too big and not too small - just perfect. I really enjoyed in the morning having coffee next to the fireplace. I felt at home. Martha is an incredible host and is there for you every step of the way. So much to do and so little time. I will be back.

Very peaceful. Very quiet. Just what we needed. Will be back.

Property was as advertised. We had everything we needed, and the owner communicated clearly. We would certainly return.

Amazing restored log cabin, thoughtfully furnished with antique furniture. So quiet and restorative to the spirit. Close to Parkway for biking and hiking. Communication with owners quick. A gem.

The cabin is very nice and the host was excellent…would highly recommend to family and friends!

We had an awesome stay at this property! The cabin is rustic but is very idyllic and has all of the necessary amenities. VERY quiet and peaceful location. The front porch was perfect--we spent the majority of our time in the rocking chairs, enjoying each others company. We really liked the hiking options on the property, which was an added bonus. Most importantly for us, our dogs had a GREAT time here! The stairs to the 2nd floor were a little tricky for our handicapped dog, but we were able to help him navigate them without too much difficulty. Highly recommend this cabin!

The property was beautiful and the house was charming. The place has everything you could need, including the book of information! Relaxing with close access to hiking and restaurants.

Great cabin, very clean and fully stocked. There are labels with instructions everywhere around the house which made it so much easier to navigate. The kitchen is small, but you get everything you need, there's a gas grill in the back that I used a few times. The location is perfect to explore the area. The cabin is only 4-5 min away from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The driveway to the cabin is a bit bumpy for a sedan, but it's very short. You pass 2 houses on the way (the instructions from Martha were very clear, so no issues finding the cabin in the dark). The cabin is the last house on the street and it's is fairly secluded (but please note that there are other cabins around with people living there full time). Overall, very positive experience.

The property was a s advertised, and it was the perfect mix of close to everything we needed without being close to everyone. The cabin was comfortable, and roomier than we expected. We cooked every day, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. And the spring/sweet water was such a nice surprise! My wife initially would have liked it better if I rented a spot with a tub instead of just a shower, but she got over that really quickly once we spent the first evening on the porch reading after dinner with nothing but the bird songs and the wind through the trees to keep us company. Overall, a great experience! *The ONLY thing I would recommend future renters is that if you have significant movement issues that would make stairs difficult, ask the owners about the stairs before you rent. They're stable, but it IS an old restored cabin, and the stairs to the bedrooms upstairs are tight, steep, and irregular. If you need a cane or walker or anything of that nature, it could be an issue.

Great, great place to visit if you like beautiful rustic and cozy, peaceful and easy to access all that Little Switzerland has to offer. Property has trails and an excellent host. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, listening to the small creek running in front of us. A very relaxing place. Like most two story cabins, the stairs going up to the second floor are steep but well built and a hand rail is great. A wonderful experience and we will come back!
