Quaint mountain cabin. Great location. Wonderful hosts. Close to so much. It was our 40th, and we had our 13yr old Granddaughter with us...and Rocky dog.We will be back.
Lots of wonderful extras! Had a relaxing stay in this quaint mountain cabin with hubby and our 2 begal dogs. Felt right at home with everything we needed!!
We've been going to Little Switzerland forever, but this was our first time staying at their cabin! We loved having the option of cooking our own meals sometimes, and we just loved the cozy, cabin-style feel with the bears and quilts. We also really appreciated the private fire pit and the extra room for our dog. The owner and his pups were incredibly welcoming.
After a long rainy drive walking into Ginny’s Cabin was an immediate relief. Beautifully and comfortably furnished, thoughtful amenities were at every turn. We enjoyed sightseeing around the area and the dogs had great spaces to play and explore around the cabin. Truly an amazing retreat!
Perfect host. We had such a lovely time ,si is our pup,playing constantly with their adorable two dogs. Beautiful setting,cute little swiss theme cabin. We gladly will return! Thank you
Excellent choice for visiting family and friends in the LIttle Switzerland area. Our dog had a fabulous time running free on the huge lawn with the host's dog. Very cozy and cute cabin.
The cabin has charm and had thoughtful amenities like multiple charging stations, kitchen basics, and firewood (not used in July, but would have been delightful in autumn and winter).Jeff was helpful, friendly, and responsive. Kathleen has an enchanting garden that the cabin overlooks.
Really enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was clean, organized, and well-appointed so that we would be instantly comfortable. The location was excellent for hiking down to the village or driving out for further excursions. We would absolutely stay again.
Charming, well-stocked rustic cabin in a beautiful area. Not a fan of the blind gravel driveway, especially with the rainy weather we experienced, but not a dealbreaker. Jeff was a helpful and responsive host, and we appreciated the welcome wine and s’more ingredients. There were plenty of blankets, space heaters, and a fireplace to help stay warm, and the sunroom, outdoor grill area and firepit would’ve been put to good use if the sun had cooperated. Enjoyed meeting the friendly pups, too!
