The cabin was truly authentic to being 200 years old. The cabin has everything you need and is very cozy. As you go past the cabin you can walk to the top of the mountain and see the beautiful view. If you need time away from your busy life this is the place to come too.

Great place to stay! The cabin is beautiful and historic. Lovely walking trails and extremely comfortable. The host was extremely thoughtful and turned on lights for us inside and out as we were checking in well after dark. We hope to be back when it snows!

Very special place! Perfect for a couple in the Fall. We appreciated the cleanliness and comfort as it felt like home. Beautiful cabin with antique furniture. Loved the vintage feel. Gas fireplace worked well along with heating unit if needed. There’s an A/C unit upstairs, but we didn’t need it. Windows opened easily! There are also fans in every room and another heater in one of rooms upstairs. (For both A/C and heat upstairs you would probably need to leave bedroom doors open to circulate.) Well appointed kitchen for cooking, must hand wash dishes which didn’t matter to us. The cabin had everything we needed, including extension cords to plug in phones at night. Martha and Dan do an excellent job making guests feel welcome! We enjoyed the trails on property, and the rocking chairs on the front porch. There is a neighbor in front of cabin, but they were very quiet and kept lights out at night. Peaceful area. Cabin sits in an excellent location, literally only a few minutes from BR Pkwy and Little Switzerland. Loved being so close without the crowd! We visited Grassy Creek Country Club in Spruce Pine for excellent food and views. Of note: until parkway completely reopens, you can currently enjoy about ten miles, then you must get off and drive around, either direction, to pick up rest. We were actually grateful because at the height of leaf changing - kept traffic and crowds down! It was wonderful. Booking this historic cabin was such a delight. Hope to visit again soon!

Step back in Time

This is a authentic log house that is amazing. The kitchen was beautifully stocked with great kitchen gear. It was incredible quiet and peaceful. There is a home directly next door but we only heard the people living there talking 2 nights. The best location for just about anything you would like to do. Great Place Highly recommend it.

Cozy and nestled away

The cabin is cozy and nestled away for privacy. The cabin was extremely clean. All the kitchen and bathroom items needed are provided, just in case you forgot something. The cabin had great hot water, super fast wifi, great tv, and a view hiking trails close by on the property. We had our German Shepherd Dog with us, so large dogs are allowed, which is a big plus, while other places sometimes have weight limits on our four legged family members. The cabin is located not far away from the Blue Ridge Parkway, which makes access to various attractions breezy. Close by attractions such as Crabtree Falls, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Rough Ridge Lookout, Mount Mitchell, just to name a few.

An Educational and Enjoyable Experience!

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.

A slice of historic heaven in the woods

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!!

Rustic luxury

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.
