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.

Great anniversary weekend!

Spent four nights here to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. The cabin was perfect! The view from the deck is stunning. We enjoyed the hot tub, sitting out on the deck, eating in nearby Spruce Pine, and hiking off of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

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.

Little slice of Heaven

Peaceful, secluded, absolutely perfect. Has all of the modern amenities, wifi, TVs in living room and bedroom. I only mention those things cause they are there, but you will find yourself enjoying just sitting on the back porch, probably the most relaxing little cabin. 10/10

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.

A Peaceful Getaway

Our stay was AMAZING. The location was PERFECT for getting away from the "noise" and stress of everyday life. The owner was helpful and made us feel at home. Beautiful back porch has the perfect view of the mountains. The house was neat and we had everything we needed. You will not regret staying here.

Mountain getaway with a view

The cabin was exactly what we wanted for a private weekend getaway. Mountainside sunset views, private, calm and beautiful landscapes. The cabin was cozy and updated. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and individually heated bathrooms. Rick was a great host, easy to communicate with. We will be back.

Had a wonderful time in the mountains. Unbelievable views from the rear deck. Cabin was all it was advertised to be and more. Rick was very helpful with our stay. Would HIGHLY recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to get away from the hustle of daily life. My wife and I hope to come back in the future.

Hidden Gem Hideaway

Gorgeous views from the deck of this property! We enjoyed being tucked in to the side of the mountain on a dead end road! The house had everything we needed and offered spectacular views both day and night! Rick was an excellent host and communicator. We really enjoyed the hot tub after hiking and exploring the area! We would definitely return!

A great place, but ------

The owner was helpful and has a nice cabin for a getaway vacation. My only complaints are that there were no light-blocking window treatments in the bedroom and that the road was rough and scary.

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!!♥️

I cannot express my review in a 100 words or less. I do want to say this was the perfect getaway!

Rick, met us and guided us to a perfect cabin getaway. The view from the back deck is breath taking. Sitting in the hot tub looking at the stars and seeing the mountains in the distance put one at ease. The interior has a charming feel. Enjoyed each evening with a fire with real fire place. If you want wood it is well worth asking Rick instead of packing in your own. The kitchen is very well equipped. If you need a break from everything this is the place you've been looking for. Thanks again. :)

Awesome View!

We stayed here for the couples getaway and we didn't leave the cabin because the view was so beautiful. The house is equipped with everything you need. Rick is very responsive and accommodating. He even got us a deal we couldn't refuse and extended our stay one day. You will have access to two bathrooms and master bedroom in the house (two other bedrooms are locked) as well as the living space (living room, kitchen, dining). The house is very secluded so it is nice and quiet all around. The only sounds you hear is an occasional squirrel roaming around.
