Cozy cabin

Relaxing stay in an authentic cabin, top faves were the fireplace, goodies left by our generous host and all the extra blankets to keep you cozy. The grill is under a covered porch. Location is perfect to the gem mine, conservatory and Little Switzerland is right down the road. If you are looking for an authentic cabin feel close to activities this is it.

Quaint and Cozy Cabin

We celebrated a cozy and comfy New Year’s Eve in Ginny’s Cabin. Jeff was most gracious and hospitable. The cabin was rustic, yet well-appointed. The hearth and fireplace was my favorite spot to be. Little Switzerland is a gem of a community, and the peaceful environment was the perfect settling for a restful respite. Highly recommend for a sweet and cozy weekend surrounded by historical charm and the most fabulous quilts.
