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.

Cozy cabin
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.

Travelled with family
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Almost every advertised aspect of this historic cabin was either an exaggeration or a lie. We were OVERRUN by BIG black ants the entire stay in every part of the cabin! Imagine BIG black ants in bed, all over the kitchen and eating areas, dropping down on you from the ceiling as you watched television, etc. Upon arrival an hour after we could check in, the A/C wasn’t turned on and the cabin was around 80° downstairs and at least 85° upstairs. Unacceptable! The supposed “walkable” areas are only so along very narrow, curvy, two-lane roads with no shoulder or sidewalk, and the actual “Village” is over 15 minutes walk away down and up steep hills. Nowhere is it mentioned that the Property Manager lives less than 100 feet from the cabin, so privacy is almost non-existent, with the patio/fire pit area almost right beside his home. Lastly, for reasons that defy belief, the Property Manager decided to mow his lawn and the grassy areas around the cabin starting at 3:00 p.m. on the Saturday of our weekend stay. My expensive Jeep sat within ten feet of where he mowed, but was luckily not damaged. My wife had to come inside to get away from him mowing, which he did for around 90 minutes. The price per night for these conditions and behavior by the Property Manager is RIDICULOUS!

April mountain respite
Jeff was a superb host who thought of everything to make our stay memorable- from the oversized marshmallows for s’mores to wood for a blazing fire to condiments in the fridge and keurig coffee pods to personal dining recommendations he was the host’s host. We would definitely choose his cabin again. Thanks, Jeff!!
