Our beautiful cabin, built in11/2018, is ready for you to enjoy! Some of our guests have been wanting a larger cabin than our cozy and lovely first two, and we are happy to now offer a cabin with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, as well as larger living areas, porch and hot tub. We believe it will be perfect for 2 to 4 adults, and it also contains a convertible couch for children if needed.
The new cabin is separated by Christmas and other trees from the other two cabins so that it provides the level of privacy that our guests expect and appreciate. We also are adding additional landscaping close to the house during the winter and spring, including rhododendrons, azaleas, mountain laurel, and other native plants and fruit trees.
In front of the cabin is an open field that is frequented by deer and turkey, and beyond is a wooded knoll with the Black Mountains behind that. The view from the porch is lovely, including a view of our spring fed pond. The creek beyond the pond runs along the front of our property. We also again put our hot tub on an open part of the deck so guests can enjoy the stars and fireflies while they soak at night. The rest of the porch is covered and perfect for enjoying rain, fog and/or sunny days as you lounge in the furniture.
Every season has a special beauty here and we love it all the time. Winter brings the best views and sunsets, and a special peace when the occasional snow arrives. Summer is best for outdoor activities, and both the spring and fall have the most color. Spring starts in March with crocus, tulips and then daffodils and reaches its peak in late May and early June when the native catawba rhododendrons, mountain laurel and azaleas are in full bloom. A visit to Roan Mountain and Carver s Gap is recommended in any season, but its natural rhododendron gardens are not to be missed in early June. Except for possibly July, October is the peak of the tourist season as everyone loves to see the changing leaves of fall.
If you tire of enjoying the property, there are plenty of alternatives for fun in the area, particularly if you enjoy nature. The cabin is only 2 miles from downtown Little Switzerland, which includes a famous old hotel and restaurant, a second restaurant that serves delicious lunches, and a great book store. However, the biggest asset of this beautiful area is the Blue Ridge Parkway, which can be entered or exited at the foot of the Switzerland Inn. We provide our guests with a written memorandum of many things to do in the area ranging from hikes and views, drives, activities ranging from horseback riding and white water rafting to things like visiting museums and gem mines or going for a day or evening to Asheville. But the focus on a trip to Little Switzerland and our property should be to enjoy nature, natural beauty, and peace. We say that a visit to our property is like soul shine, and it is best enjoyed when you arrive with an open mind, ready to enjoy whatever direction your spirit takes and the weather permits during your time here. It's a magical area and incredible beauty is found in all seasons.
