The screened in porch was amazing! We lived out there and fully enjoyed all 10 acres of the property. New bathrooms and good mattresses! Kitchen a tad sparse but workable.

Peaceful Mountain Community

The Swiss Cittage was larger than expected, very roomy! It was clean and comfortable, great for a weekend getaway or longer. Dinner at the nearby Guesthouse was delicious and quite elegant. There were lots of great hikes nearby, too.

The porch is wonderful! Very comfortable furnishings. Sits on a hill that makes the view, provides space for kids and dog to run. With two floors, the late talkers or early risers can have their space!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

The Lost River Swiss Cottage was a perfect getaway for a small group of friends. The cottage was clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the owners were warm and welcoming. Especially loved visiting their farmer's market on Saturday and spending time with the community they've built. Can't wait to return.

This was a perfect location to get away and decompress. The screened in porch was comfortable even in the heat of the summer. The open property on the side of a mountain allowed for a great view of the stars at night. Within 30 minutes there is several state and national parks with great trails and walking around the property was safe and convenient.

Wonderful stay for the holidays

The cottage is the perfect getaway for the holiday. It is spacious, cozy, and very well maintained with things like towels and cooking utensils. Our dog loved to run around on the grass. It is also very close to Lost River State Park for a nice hike. We will definitely come back if we get another chance!

Thanks for the kind review and much appreciation for having chosen our Swiss Cottage for a return trip to the LRV. The Lost River Farmers Market, at the bottom of the hill, will be opening mid April. We have made improvements and there are some great changes to better serve the community. Hope to see you again soon.

A slice of heaven

This is our second stay at this property. We LOVE it here. The location, the view, the star gazing! The house itself is lovely and the newly enclosed deck area was perfect. I’ve already recommended it to friends of ours and we’ll definitely be back for a third visit!!

Lovely, as always

We loved our stay at the cottage, and are repeat visitors. Great location, proximate to Guesthouse, Lost River state park, Lost & Found pizza, Vintage Variety, and they have a lovely farmers market/cafe at the bottom of the house on Saturdays. Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic valley view.

Beautiful cabin on a hill

Wonderful base camp to explore the area. Comfortable, spacious, and clean. The farmers market and café at the bottom of the hill owned by the same folks as the cabin is also delightful. The only negative was that the water had a slight sulfur smell, so if that bugs you bring bottled water, but it wasn’t too bad. Would absolutely stay here again.

The house has been updated nicely especially bathrooms! Great view and the screened in porch is amazing! The location is fantastic, close to The Guesthouse and the farmer's s market too! If you are planning to cook a lot as we did, there is not a ton of counter space and no dishwasher.

Perfect Cozy Cabin

We (a group of friends and one tiny dog) spent a lovely and snowy weekend in Bob and Tammy's cozy cabin. Anything we needed--extra blankets, coffee filters, a colander--was there, and Bob even stopped by to give us some advice about navigating the property through the snow. We could not have asked for better hosts or a more comfortable cabin. Without a doubt, we would stay here again! 10/10

Peaceful vacation

This is the second time we have stayed here. The addition of the screened in deck was truly magnificent. We also discovered if you turn on WiFi calling in your settings you can use your cell phone for texting and calling even without cell service. We absolutely had the most relaxing week. We will be back.

Third Stay

This is the third time we have stayed here. The first two times was just my husband and I with our dog. The reason we chose this property to begin with was we could bring our dog with us. We have enjoyed our previous stays so much, this time our son and his wife and our 3 yr old grandson came along. They also brought their dog. There was plenty of room for all of us. The layout was great with a bedroom, bathroom and additional living room all on the lower level. This allowed us the ability to have our own quiet time when needed. It was a truly enjoyable week.
