About this property

The cabin Willow is a family log home that sets one mile from the heart of Little Switzerland NC. It has 2 bedrooms 2 1/2 bath with a loft. Just outside the front door there is a pond where the frogs will sing to you at night. Look for the deer in the quiet of the morning while sipping a cup of coffee. The property is filled with nature. A photographer's paradise! We often see wild turkeys, foxes, Minks, Beavers, Possums, a variety of birds, such as hummingbirds, Hawks and nesting Geese. It is very relaxing to sit on the front porch and watch and listen to all the sights and sounds here. Bring your binoculars!

Willow is less than a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway and The Little Switzerland Inn Resort. The Switzerland Inn has a pub that locals and travelers dine. The Books N Beans coffee shop/ Book Store, General Store and Little Switzerland Cafe all in the town of Little Switzerland, NC.

Willow is centrally located. Lots of hiking, many waterfalls, horseback riding, local wineries, breweries, gemming mines.
Including Mt. Mitchell, Crabtree Falls, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, The Apple Orchard just to name a few. Ask your host, Marsha about local destinations.

Asheville, NC is an hour south. Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Boone, NC is 45 mins or an hour north. You can drive the Blue Ridge Parkway to get to any of these places.

Walmart, CVS and Ingles grocery store are located in the town of Spruce pine, NC. Which is a few short miles from Little Switzerland, NC.

The cabin Willow has everything to offer in a mountain getaway!

Cabin in the Sky
We loved our mountain Cabin. Sitting by the pond and watching the wildlife and listening to the frogs and birds sing was wonderful! We saw Turkey hens and their babies comfortable enough to walk up to the cabin. We had a great time! The place was perfect for us!

very cozy and charming
We stayed here while we on a motor cycle weekend during the summer. It was a GREAT relief from the heat. The house is very cozy and charming. The pond is beyond beautiful. The owners live up the path and were very helpful and accommodating. I would stay there again if I am in the area.

Relaxing, Peaceful, Quiet
Cozy Mountain Cabin truly exceeded all our expectations! Marsha is a wonderful host. The cabin is located one mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway in a location in close proximity to many activities including Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Emerald Village Gem Mine, and Mount Mitchell, as well as numerous great hikes. The cabin is also located in Little Switzerland, which is a quaint little village with great dining experiences. The cabin was very clean and the beds so comfortable! The kitchen is very nice! We absolutely enjoyed having coffee on the front porch to start and end our days while our teenager enjoyed kayaking around the little pond. We are so glad we found this cabin near the Blue Ridge and, if ever in this area, we will definitely stay again. We highly recommend this very clean and relaxing cabin.

Beautiful cabin!
My fiancé and myself had a wonderful weekend together in this beautiful cabin! The location is beautiful waking up to sit on the porch during the cool mornings with a hot cup of coffee over looking the pond and being able to watch the wildlife in the area! Plus its next to a nice little town with plenty to do in the area!!

Mountain Stay
Willow is a great place to rest after a long day exploring the numerous stops along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The location is conveniently located near the parkway without all of the traffic. Marsha was an excellent host, with great communication, willing to help with whatever we needed.

Cute Cabin
Cabin is as described with kitschy Native American decor. The kitchen had the basics needed to prepare meals. Be aware there is a regular coffee pot, so bring your coffee grounds. If you want to build a fire inside or outside, Walmart sells firewood in their Lawn and Garden section. If you are a light sleeper, be aware that the bedrooms are one over the other. You can hear whatever someone does upstairs, even when they roll over in bed, it creaks. This bothered me, but not my husband. I thought this was a secluded cabin for some reason. It does have houses around it. They're not on top of you, but you have one to the side and several behind the cabin. Also, if you are looking for peace and quiet, this cabin is right off a road that gets a good bit of traffic. No other real noise though. Just sharing since some people are looking for absolute quiet when looking for a place to stay. Marsha was very responsive and nice. Very easy to work with. The cabin is conveniently located to the BRP and Little Switzerland. There is also a Walmart close by in Spruce Pine if you need anything.

Nice cabin getaway with a few major issues
List of major issues: 1) This is the first place we've ever stayed that didn't have a hairdryer anywhere to be found. My wife was very upset because she couldn't fix her hair how she likes. 2) It is required to have a working smoke detector in every bedroom, one on each floor/hallway. Two of the three smoke detectors were missing/broken. Also, it is required to have a carbon monoxide detector on each floor(none present) and a fire extinguisher on each floor(only one on the main floor). Not having these safety features in a wooden cabin made us nervous. 3) The entrance to the lane leading to the cabin needs to be regraded. Our car scrapped the bottom coming in and out of the driveway. 4) The cabin is very dim, many light bulbs need to be replaced. 5) Ceiling fan in the lower bedroom hums and needs to be replaced. Anytime an electric device is humming means the motor is burning out and is a fire hazard. 6) There are various electric heaters in the house, some of which hum and/or motor squeaking and need replaced.

Lovely spot
Willow is just perfect for a getaway that's close to a lot. It's homey and quiet and the pond lends a sense of tranquility. If you are looking to escape, this is perfect! We loved it! Note that there is not a hair dryer even though the listing says there is.

Frog & Hummingbird Heaven!
This is my new favorite place to be. I felt at home in that there was everything we needed and intuitively put where you'd look for it. I love the decor and all the artsy accents. The first few hours there we saw so many hummingbirds and several deer and heard tons of frogs. I actually miss being here. The cabin is so secluded but a mile away is Little Switzerland with great places to eat a nice meal, a sweet treat or a cute souvenir. It rained a bit when we were there and yet it was wonderful sitting on the front porch. Check in was seamless and the directions were sent in a text which was key to get to the place. Internet was great surprisingly which enabled us to plan our day. Marcia is a great host and communication with her was effortless. I actually considered giving this place a terrible review so people won't know how great it is so it'd be available to us when we want/need to come back. But that would be selfish. We will be back, Marcia!

Froggy Fun
Great cabin. My husband and I stayed for a few days. There was plenty of room for us and about 4 more people if needed. Every night for about 2 hours the frogs around the pond started singing. It was great! Marsha the owner was nice and helpful. She responded quickly. The driveway is steep, but doable. Would most definitely stay here again.

Mountain weekend
We wanted a family weekend in the mountains relaxing and gem mining. The cabin is amazing. Location was perfect for us, a few minutes to Little Switzerland, few more minutes to the gem mines, and lots of beautiful scenery. The pond is steps from the house. We saw frogs. We had deer come visit, and other small woodland creatures. My only complaint was we should have booked a week. The host is very nice and easy to communicate with. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back.

Cabin in the woods
My Grand daughter wanted a cabin the woods, hiking and Gem mining for her 10th birthday trip. Our experience here fit the ticket, it was everything she’d hoped it would be. Marsha was great. She was quick to respond and checked in on us while we were there to make sure everything was going to plan. The only issue we had was there was no air conditioning up stairs and it did get a little warm for our Grand daughter. She used the floor fan that was provided and said she was comfortable, other than that the place was fantastic. Our favorite place was sitting on the porch, listening and watching the pond and the wildlife. We will definitely go back and stay if we’re ever in the area again. Little Switzerland was a beautiful quaint little town.
