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!

Very well kept and the property has everything you need. Fun stuff in the loft for the littles to keep them busy. The owner was very easy to communicate with. The pups were comfortable as well! Great find!

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!

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.

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.

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.
