Alpine Inn negative review
“Hot”water was actually cool, so we could not shower. Shower stall was very tiny. Sink was clogged and didn’t drain adequately. Windows and window sills were dirty and did not close properly. Outside of room was poorly maintained and dirty. Beds and bed linens were clean and comfortable. There’s no place within miles to eat dinner on a Sunday. Everything was closed. Would not recommend. Will not go there again.

This is an old property, built mainly of wood 93 years ago. It is situated on the edge of a winding mountain road with stunning views of the mountains. Due to its age the facilities are basic, the bathroom was only just big enough for one person! The beds are comfortable and the owners are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony and gazing at that amazing view! If you like rustic charm then this is the place for you. We certainly enjoyed our stay.

It was unsafe- floors so slanted we became dizzy just looking at our room. Tight narrow hallway also slanted floor. No tv or microwave etc in room. Dangerous steep con you steps down to room. We did not stay due to all this but owner made us pay because she said she had to pay Expedia. We had to find another place to stay. We did not even go back into the room after looking at it. Very disappointed

This was a great place to stay! The owners were incredibly nice and we felt very welcome. The views were amazing with a very clam and laid back atmosphere. We will stay here the next time we are in the area.

A Must Stop Along The Blue Ridge Parkway
Alpine Inn is an historic vintage motel built in the 1920s. It is located on an isolated highway nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the village of Little Switzerland, NC — which was one of the earliest vacation retreats in the Carolina mountains. The Inn has been updated without sacrificing it historic features. The views into the valley are gorgeous and the breakfast provided would satisfy the most demanding gourmet. And it is served on a cantilevered deck on the mountainside. The rooms are comfortable and cooled softly and quietly by the mountain breezes. If you love the mountains you will love the Alpine Inn.

The Alpine Inn is a unique place. The view is beautiful but somewhat limited because of growing trees all around. Parking is not good at all. Larger vehicles cannot park directly in front of the building, so you have to park across the highway right on a sharp curve. Crossing back and forth to the facility can be dangerous. I was almost overcome by a car coming around the curve from the uphill side. It was upon me before I could hear it coming. The rooms are very small and dated. The bathroom was tiny and not convenient at all. The breakfast provided (at an extra charge) was very limited - no protein items available, all high carb items. It was not good for my diet as a diabetic. The two inn keepers were very friendly and kind, but they have a limited facility to work with. I guess you pay for the view, but otherwise it is over-priced for what you get.

Lovely mountainside B&B
This was a lovely little hotel right on the side of the mountain. The hosts were so friendly! The trip would have been worth it for breakfast on the balcony alone. We will definitely be staying here again!
