About this property

Mountain Cabin for Peace, Beauty and Soul Shine

Located on a 14 acre property, you will find tranquility, beauty, romance and nature on this rural yet convenient site. This cabin is one of three lovely and fully furnished cabins, and this property is intended to inspire romantic interludes, spiritual renewal, inner tranquility, awe of nature, and fond memories that will last a lifetime. Our guests have loved our property and some have indicated that one of the things they found special are the many fireflies they watched from the front porch at night. Its magical! And the stars are also incredible on clear nights! Everyone has appreciated the cleanliness and quality of our cabins, and we are grateful and happy that our customers are having a great time here.

After driving up the private gravel drive (not steep and well maintained) that runs through the middle of the property, you will come to a lovely log cabin constructed of solid pine logs. After climbing up the stairs, you will enter an elevated front porch that is mostly covered, but also contains an open air portion where you can sit in the hot tub as you enjoy a cocktail or look up at the stars. A double swing bench is also available for your use on the front porch. Your main view will be across the pasture to a knoll of trees and, beyond that, the mountains, but you can also see the spring fed pond located below as well as the Christmas trees that surround the cabin.

Upon entering the cabin, you will be enchanted with the warm glow of the pine logs that form the cabin's walls and that connect the matching wood floors and wood ceilings. The cabin contains electric air and heat, paired with a lovely gas powered fireplace whose primary purpose is ambiance, but that can also help heat the cabin on a snowy night ( also a particularly beautiful time to visit!). You can snuggle with someone special on the couch as you watch the new flat screen TV mounted above the fireplace. TV programming and WiFi is from the Dish Network, and a DVD player is also provided for your enjoyment.

On the other side of the main room is a fully equipped kitchen with all new appliances, a dining area with a round dining table in front of a large window to enjoy the views, and a full bath with tub and shower. Besides the normally supplied refrigerator and stove, a dishwasher, clothes washer and clothes dryer are installed for your convenience if you need them. The cabin is fully furnished with dishes and utensils, towels, and bedding, and 2 bath robes will be waiting for you to use with the hot tub, which is very easy to operate and provides good water flow and powerful jets.

The bedroom is furnished with a very comfortable queen-size bed as well as areas for storing and hanging your clothing. You can also enjoy a lovely view of the property while in bed looking out through the bedroom's main window. A CD player can be found in the bedroom.

When you are not enjoying the amenities of your cabin, there are lots of things to see and do on the property, including viewing the birds, deer, turkey and rabbits that are regularly seen on the property, with occasional bear, duck and bobcat seen as well. The best times to view wildlife are usually the early morning and dusk. You are free to pick wildflowers growing in the pasture or blackberries that are found along the road and near the creek during the summer.

Feel free to take a walk around the pond or along the creek fronting the property. Country living doesn't get any better than this!

It is our goal to provide you with a fun and enjoyable vacation that will not only give you lots of great memories, but will inspire you to want to come back again. We pledge that we will do our best to make that happen! If you have any questions about this property, our other rental properties, or local activities, please feel free to contact us. We also supply our guests with an list of recommended activities and contacts while staying at the cabin, including directions as well as special little things to do or see while going or coming from your destination.

If the dates you desire are not available, please check out our second cabin at vrbo listing number 481130, our third cabin at vrbo listing number 1490669, or, for a really unique and cool experience, our stone house at homeaway listing number 3583167.

Just what we were looking for
Enjoyed the hot tub in the evening after riding our motorcycle through the mountains during the day. We were surprised at the Conveniences in a small cabin. Washer and dryer, a/c,gas fireplace, cable TV dishwasher and so on. We enjoyed our 5 days there.

Like a dream
Definitely going at the end of june was a good call because of all of the plants in bloom. There is so many cute critters and bugs around for nature walks. And it honestly felt like a dream at night when fireflies lit up the area.

So good it's annual now!
Last year, I took my partner to the Rhododendron festival, which is sometimes hard to find places to stay for. This place is less than 30 minutes from Bakersville and so close to all the things we wanted to do (gem mining right down the road!) We enjoyed it so much that we rebooked it again this year. The view is gorgeous, the space is clean and modest, and it is just so cozy. Hot tub, fire place, a kitchen- I couldn't ask for better. In fact, last year's stay was the first time my partner and I said "I love you" to one another, so this year I proposed in the same spot on the porch. We will definitely be back next year and hope this stays open for booking as it has a special place in our hearts now.

Mountain Hideaway
We enjoyed our 3 night stay in this little cabin. It was private and well appointed with washer, dryer, dishwasher, Direct TV, WiFi, tub/shower, hardwood floors, fireplace, and hot tub. The personal touches were really appreciated - all you need to bring with you are your clothes and food! The host was very easy to communicate with and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. We hope to go again in the winter and enjoy the snow.

Great Get Away!!
Overall the cabin we stayed in was very well built. Great location much more roomy than expected which was nice for two people, nice to have the amenities that it did. Hot tub was definitely great after a day in the Mtn to relax and end the day. Also saw some deer on the property that was a nice encounter. Cleanliness was fair I imagine the cabin had been shut up for awhile there was a lot of dust on the walls especially above the bed and a few dead files on the floor but the rest of the cabin was pretty clean. I’m not sure if this is recommended but there was a tip jar on the kitchen table for “cleaning supplies “ the property rental has a cleaning fee so not really sure why that was there. All in all it was a very nice cabin and we enjoyed our time there definitely would go back.

5 year anniversary
We were very happy with our stay at cabin #2! The cabin was perfect and quaint, the location is perfectly nestled off of Blue Ridge Parkway. Deer greeted us every morning and evening. There are roosters across the road, but they didn’t bother us. The only thing I would recommend is maybe extra blankets. Besides the bedding on the bed, there are no other blankets. We will definitely be back! Maybe a yearly visit!

Enjoyable Stay
The cabin was a perfect size for me and my spouse. We stayed in cabin #2. Some reviews mentioned roosters waking them up. We could not hear the roosters in our cabin, only while on the porch. Reviews also mentioned it was cold in the cabin. We found the heater in the living room and the portable oil radiant heater was for the bedroom was plenty. The hot tub was also a bonus. We were not able to get in touch with the property manager for questions regarding cleaning the cabin since our internet didn’t work to pull up the rules. But, it seems it wasn’t necessary as we didn’t get an email stating we didn’t leave the cabin in order. It was a wonderful stay and we would definitely return!

First time in the mountains
The cabin was absolutely beautiful and in a peefect location for everything we wanted to do. The hot tub was perfect after going on long hikes. We even got to see a deer in the front yard one night. The property manager was also super nice and helpful and easy to contact which is a major plus.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Pearson

Host profile image
Hi, we are Steve and Soony Pearson, the owners of Logs and Stones Vacation Rentals. Steve is also the General Manager. We split our time between a log home in Little Switzerland and Miami since, following his retirement from his former job, Steve agreed in late 2011 to work as the Director of the University of Miami's Gifford Arboretum. While this prevents us from living in North Carolina full time, Steve is passionate about plants and their importance, and he believes he can accomplish meaningful things at the Arboretum. In the meantime, he is afforded a lot of flexibility in his schedule, and we are living in NC a good portion of the year, particularly in the summer and winter months. While we are constantly involved in improving the property and will be actively involved in all aspects of our business, we also have our friend Doug McKinney working as Property 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 is also a genuinely nice guy who lives 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 your batteries in this exceptionally nice log cabin in a beautiful area. We'll try to get you 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 or a wealthy enclave that 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 exclusive millionaire only housing fronting on fancy golf courses. Instead, you will drive by fields with horses and cows and then get on the Blue Ridge Parkway to go get groceries, which are only 6 miles from the cabin. This property is peaceful and bucolic, with lots of wildlife and 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. Its soul shine!

While we love the area's rural character, its also an area where you can easily satisfy creature needs, including medical care. After looking ALL over western North Carolina, we decided that Little Switzerland was the perfect fit between a rural/natural setting and being close to stores and modern needs. It perfect to us and we believe you will feel the same way.

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 really prompted the land's purchase was its diversity.

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 good 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 young 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.
