What's nearby

  • Nice place for family. Look around the museum of all the gems type they got. Go there early for the mine tour and nice beautiful cave in the back with waterfalls.

  • The Orchard at Altapass is the only orchard that I have been to. Each time I go to Crabtree falls I try to go to the orchard, but this is not always possible because the store is closed during the winter for offseason. I also have never actually gone apple picking, but instead go inside the store and buy the already picked apples. The majority of the times I have visited, there is live bluegrass music. Different kinds of preserved canned foods line many shelves in the store. Homemade fudge is sold, as well as ice cream. During the fall parking can be rough, since it is peak leaf and apple season. This picture captures the vastness of the Appalachian region in my eyes: the life present, the rich colors, and the visibility of the mountains far away. I can recall the sweet smells of the many trees producing apples. #appalachianechoes

Gorgeous cabin, beautiful view

The view from the deck was amazing. The cabin was perfect. We definitely want to visit again. We also thought it was neat that they provided the means to separate trash, recycling, and compost during our stay.

Respite from the heat and “city”

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Pinewoods Cabin. The view was spectacular and the cabin had everything we needed to relax. Rick was easy to communicate with and available if anything came up. We loved the proximity of Little Switzerland and the Blueridge Parkway.

Great Private Getaway!

My husband and I traveled here on our anniversary and this cabin was perfect! Very private with a great view! We absolutely love Little Switzerland and will keep this place on our list!! It was just as described ~ very clean and definitely comfortable!! Also centrally located to all we planned to do!! The only advice I have for the owners is to get better lighting in at least one of the bathrooms ~ while it’s awesome mood lighting it’s hard to see to get ready (especially for the ladies). I carried a lighted mirror with me so I managed! Thanks for a great vacation!!♥️

Little Switzerland Cabin

My husband and I had a lovely stay in Little Switzerland. It was great meeting the owner Rick at the post office because it would have been kinda tricky to find the house without an escort. The view and peaceful setting were spectacular. House is super clean and perfect for a couple. There were tons of nice fluffy towels and washcloths. I always hate it when there aren’t ample washcloths! The hot tub is very clean and we enjoyed it on our last night. For your planning purposes: I did not find coffee but there is a coffee pot. Walmart is about 5 miles away but it takes longer to get there than you would expect. I would bring snacks to enjoy with the bottle of wine Rick greets you with. I would also bring my own pillow as I prefer 2 and a cozy blanket for hanging out on the porch enjoying the sunrise and sunset. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful views

The house was nice and the views were beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub and there was plenty of towels and wash cloths. It was a very positive experience. We had to meet the person at the local post office and follow them to the house. Not a big deal but we first were not going to be arriving until late the first night and felt odd about having to do this so we took off earlier than planned. That being said, when we plan weekend get aways we want to be able to stop and go as we please. It may not have been a big deal for them to meet us late but I personally like being able to just receive a key or key code and arrive when we want.

Ruined honeymoon

We booked this place for the view, as I imagine most do. The view is lovely and that is about all that was good. You have to plan out your check in day around meeting the host, which is odd as most places have a number code entry. He then takes you on an extended, unnecessary tour that wastes your precious time. On top of this, there was no water pressure when we arrive, back doors do not lock, and 2 of 4 heaters did not work. It was quite cold when we arrived as well. We contacted the host to come fix the water, which he tried to do but was unsuccessful. We did not want to spend our honeymoon evening with a stranger so we requested the water to be fixed the following day. We had our first evening ruined as we hiked all day and wanted to shower to head out for the evening, but we unable to do so. The drive to the house is not the most pleasant so do be aware. It is a very mountain style, one lane road. Due to the inconveniences we had our first night, we asked for a partial refund and have been denied by the host. Be catious with this property and contact VRBO immediately with concerns. Use the app to communicate as well, not his cell. Do note, there is a health and safety ticket against this property with VRBO as well.

Great mountain getaway

Comfortable cabin with an awesome view... we loved being in the hot tub taking in the scenery or just sitting on the deck listening to the quiet and watching the sun go down. The cabin has a good selection of books and a great table for puzzles. There is some good eating in the village nearby. Our car made it up the hill just fine, but lower riding cars might have some issues.
