About this property

New Cabin on 12 Acres w/Hot Tub Right off the Blue Ridge Pkwy! Pastoral Bliss

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very clean and quiet. It was the perfect place to “chill out”. We even had special visitors. Deer, wild turkeys, a kitty cat, and some beautiful birds. Spruce Pine is only about 15 minutes away. There is a Walmart, and several restaurants located there. Also, the restaurants at Little Switzerland are less than 10 minutes away. The food at the Chalet was excellent. The only suggestion I would make is that the owners invest in new mattresses for both beds. The stay was delightful, and we will be telling our family and friends about this lovely cabin. Thank you 🙂

Nice cabin needs internet
If you want off the grid in the middle of gorgeous scenery - it’s a nice cabin with no cell service (expected and out of property control), 99% of our time had zero internet even after requesting 2 “re-connects”. That made things hard to look for things to visit and more important directions to get there. Internet is within property control. Get that fixed and I highly recommend it.

We have stayed in these cabins 3 times now and every time it’s an adventure and the most relaxing place on earth. This will always be my getaway we love the place and the owners are amazing. As long as the pricing stays far we will be visiting here multiple times a year.

Great place
We enjoyes our stay, just wish we had known EVERYTHING around shuts down and is closed until March 1! It would have been nice to know ahead of time. We have been to this little cabin once before, we did enjoy our visit and managment was very helpful with our internet issues and weather concerns. I would suggest updating the couch and beds. But absolutely recommend this little cabin for a quiet visit to the mountains!

Excellent stay. Convenient to a lot of entertainment but away enough to get away. The night sky view and view from deck is breathtaking. House was clean and comfortable. The WiFi is limited but wasn’t an issue with all the stuff to do around the area.

Great view. Superb clean.
We loved staying at this cabin. It has been the cleanest cabin we have ever stayed. Property manager sent info well in advance. My youngest child enjoyed the field in front of the property while playing and chasing birds . When booking, consider the time of the year and get info about the towns nearby. Info in the cabin must be updated. A lot places were still closed when we got there, and some just opened. There are a lot of places to explore, we had a great time.

Sublime yet Super Cozy
We loved this place. The driving instructions are good but we had to take some help from locals to get to the place cz it's already dark the roads are icy. Three cabins are far enough you have the privacy and they are close enough not to make you feel like you are all alone in wilderness. Just a note: the dice is missing in the monopoly box. So couldn't play 😅 we just rearranged all the cards. We would love to go there again.

It was exactly as expected
Property owners communicated well with instructions. The cabin was in great shape, had everything we needed, was clean, and easy to access. We went there to get away and do a bit of nothing, sit in the hot tub, and read on the porch. We did everything we wanted to do. Bed was comfy, ambience in the cabin was cool. We saw a deer, and heard lots of roosters and turkeys. We had a super time.

GREAT PLACE AS ADVERTISED!
Great Cabin! Hot Tub was awesome! Fire pit(if you wanna call it that) was disappointing and 50 yards from cabin...we ended up buying a 30 dollar metal one from Walmart...Wifi was good and stable. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms! The entire cabin was very clean! We went to Crabtree Falls and it was amazing...it's a tough hike, but mainly on the return trip back up the trail from the falls. Make sure you have good shoes on. All in all...we will come back!

Mount Mitchell hiking
The cabin was absolutely beautiful - the wood was amazing, the setting was very quiet, gorgous scenery surrounded by the highest mountain peaks on the east coast. The cabin was set up with everything you could need - toiletries, soaps, towels, Hot Tub - and clothes to wear to the hot tub! We really loved spending time there and did lots of hiking on rugged trails. We had roosters waking us up in the distance and just peace!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Pearson

Host profile image
Hi, we are Steve and Soony Pearson, respectively the General Manager and Communications Manager of Logs and Stones Vacation Rentals, LLC. We split our time between a log home in Little Switzerland and Miami, where we are from. Steve is soon retiring as an arboretum director at the University of Miami and he is passionate about plants and their importance. We are looking forward to being able to spend a bigger portion of our time in North Carolina, and expand a collection of rare trees that we have started on the property. We love this part of NC and our property, and you will too!

While we are actively involved in our business, we also depend on our friends Doug McKinney working as Property Manager, and his wife Betty McKinney working as Hospitality Manager. Doug's family has been in this area for many generations (you will drive on 'McKinney Mine Road' to reach our cabin!), and he has a wealth of information about same and North Carolina mountain living. He and Betty are also genuinely nice people who live less than a half mile from the cabin.

We believe that we have a great team in place, and all of us are committed to insuring that your stay in the cabin will be fun and memorable. So come enjoy yourself and recharge in this exceptionally nice log cabin in a beautiful area. We think its as close to heaven as you can get in this world.

Why they chose this property

There are many lovely areas and nice properties in the mountains of North Carolina. However, there aren't many areas where you can also get a taste of traditional mountain living. While quaint and charming, Little Switzerland is not, and hopefully never will be, a tourist mecca for the masses or an exclusive, wealthy enclave like some areas have become. This is partly due to geography (its at the 'Crest of the Blue Ridge'), but also because there is a lot of preserved wilderness in the area. Yes, things like golf are available locally and some homes are very expensive, but this is not an area where there are too many houses crammed together to share a view, or that commercializes the area. This is rural mountains, yet close to modern amenities. You will drive by fields with horses and cows, and you will open a world of vistas and scenery when you get on the Blue Ridge Parkway, whether for fun or simply to get groceries, which are only 6 miles from the cabin. This property is peaceful and bucolic, with lots of wildlife, and it's in an area that still has a smattering of true characters who keep mountain independence alive. But its also convenient and easy to use. So, if you want to stay in a great cabin on a lovely property where you can still experience 'old North Carolina,' including authentic mountain music, then come try our cabin and this area. Its soul shine!

After looking ALL over western North Carolina, we decided that Little Switzerland was the perfect fit between a rural/natural setting while also being close to stores and modern needs. We love it and believe you will also.

What makes this property unique

Our property is a special mix of terrains. Not many places offer mountain views, open pasture, forested knolls, a spring fed pond, and a creek, but you can experience and explore all of those here.

The owners' long term goals are to maintain the property as a nature preserve while also planting out what will become a de facto botanical garden. Lots of interesting species have already been planted, and one of the things that prompted this land's purchase was its diversity, even including a small area that is high mountain bog.

Our property affords a unique opportunity to feel like you have 'gotten away from it all', while having the comfort of knowing that if you need goods or services, or even medical care, they are not far away.

And PLEASE consider our cabin if you are a young family looking for a family get away. The couch in the cabin converts to a bed that can sleep up to 2 children, and one of our motivations in starting this business was to afford young children the same opportunity that I enjoyed and benefited from as a child - the chance to explore and discover nature, and to run wild and free in a natural environment, which unfortunately is far from the realm of experience of most children today. I know that the childhood adventures I enjoyed during summers in the NC mountains were some of the best times of my life, and that they changed me in some important and positive ways. Please consider affording your children these kinds of experiences. Staying in our cabin can be a great opportunity for your family to re-bond in a positive and meaningful way.
