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.

Exactly what we were looking for

We were looking for a rustic but comfortable cabin to have a technology free outing with our young teens. Even though this space had tv, internet, and cell service, we didn’t use them and it was awesome. The kids even survived and our stay flew by with family games, time in the kitchen and actual face to face conversation. This was a time capsule with modern comforts and a very thoughtful host. We have only been home for a day but already talked about staying again.

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.
