About this property
Mountain Cabin for Peace, Beauty and Soul Shine
Located on a 14 acre property, you will find tranquility, beauty, romance and nature on this rural yet convenient site. This cabin is one of three lovely and fully furnished cabins, and this property is intended to inspire romantic interludes, spiritual renewal, inner tranquility, awe of nature, and fond memories that will last a lifetime. Our guests have loved our property and some have indicated that one of the things they found special are the many fireflies they watched from the front porch at night. Its magical! And the stars are also incredible on clear nights! Everyone has appreciated the cleanliness and quality of our cabins, and we are grateful and happy that our customers are having a great time here.
After driving up the private gravel drive (not steep and well maintained) that runs through the middle of the property, you will come to a lovely log cabin constructed of solid pine logs. After climbing up the stairs, you will enter an elevated front porch that is mostly covered, but also contains an open air portion where you can sit in the hot tub as you enjoy a cocktail or look up at the stars. A double swing bench is also available for your use on the front porch. Your main view will be across the pasture to a knoll of trees and, beyond that, the mountains, but you can also see the spring fed pond located below as well as the Christmas trees that surround the cabin.
Upon entering the cabin, you will be enchanted with the warm glow of the pine logs that form the cabin's walls and that connect the matching wood floors and wood ceilings. The cabin contains electric air and heat, paired with a lovely gas powered fireplace whose primary purpose is ambiance, but that can also help heat the cabin on a snowy night ( also a particularly beautiful time to visit!). You can snuggle with someone special on the couch as you watch the new flat screen TV mounted above the fireplace. TV programming and WiFi is from the Dish Network, and a DVD player is also provided for your enjoyment.
On the other side of the main room is a fully equipped kitchen with all new appliances, a dining area with a round dining table in front of a large window to enjoy the views, and a full bath with tub and shower. Besides the normally supplied refrigerator and stove, a dishwasher, clothes washer and clothes dryer are installed for your convenience if you need them. The cabin is fully furnished with dishes and utensils, towels, and bedding, and 2 bath robes will be waiting for you to use with the hot tub, which is very easy to operate and provides good water flow and powerful jets.
The bedroom is furnished with a very comfortable queen-size bed as well as areas for storing and hanging your clothing. You can also enjoy a lovely view of the property while in bed looking out through the bedroom's main window. A CD player can be found in the bedroom.
When you are not enjoying the amenities of your cabin, there are lots of things to see and do on the property, including viewing the birds, deer, turkey and rabbits that are regularly seen on the property, with occasional bear, duck and bobcat seen as well. The best times to view wildlife are usually the early morning and dusk. You are free to pick wildflowers growing in the pasture or blackberries that are found along the road and near the creek during the summer.
Feel free to take a walk around the pond or along the creek fronting the property. Country living doesn't get any better than this!
It is our goal to provide you with a fun and enjoyable vacation that will not only give you lots of great memories, but will inspire you to want to come back again. We pledge that we will do our best to make that happen! If you have any questions about this property, our other rental properties, or local activities, please feel free to contact us. We also supply our guests with an list of recommended activities and contacts while staying at the cabin, including directions as well as special little things to do or see while going or coming from your destination.

The property was very nice clean and I truly enjoyed it. Our host was very tentative to our needs. Everything was just like it was advertised. I look forward to visiting again.
Leave it behind... that's what this stay offers. The hustle, bustle, worries, noise... leave it behind.Definitely "out there", and be prepared to drive some pretty scary/narrow roads - but once you're at the cabin... enjoy the porch, the birds, deer, and just the quiet. Great for a couple get-away. Visit Emerald Caves. Plan on about an hour drive to get to anything "big" as many of the roads are still being repaired. Blowing Rock and Mt Mitchell are about an hour and 15 minutes away (opposite directions). Ingles Market for groceries (pick it up before you head up to the cabin!). Cell service was reliable. And sufficient band width to check "news" or search for things to do in the area. Plenty of water falls, hikes to do in the surrounding area.

Our stay at the cabin was delightful. The hot tub was fantastic. The turkeys in the meadow in the morning were cool to just sit and sip our coffee and watch.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this cabin. The location is close to Little Switzerland and convenient to some beautiful sites along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Cabin was very clean and comfortable.

Thank you for your business.
My father stayed here while visiting and had a wonderful time at the cabin. We are very grateful to have these cabins here for guests, providing them with a more private, relaxing retreat when visiting! Thank you! We will be back. :)

My husband and I went up for the weekend for the rural revival concert in Spruce Pines. The cabin was in a nice distance not to far. Would stay here again.
I enjoyed the peacefulness of the property. The hot tub was clean and very relaxing at night, stargazing. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away from it all.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Pearson
Hi, we are Steve and Soony Pearson, the owners of Logs and Stones Vacation Rentals. Steve is also the General Manager. We split our time between a log home in Little Switzerland and Miami since, following his retirement from his former job, Steve agreed in late 2011 to work as the Director of the University of Miami's Gifford Arboretum. While this prevents us from living in North Carolina full time, Steve is passionate about plants and their importance, and he believes he can accomplish meaningful things at the Arboretum. In the meantime, he is afforded a lot of flexibility in his schedule, and we are living in NC a good portion of the year, particularly in the summer and winter months. While we are constantly involved in improving the property and will be actively involved in all aspects of our business, we also have our friend Doug McKinney working as Property Manager. Doug's family has been in this area for many generations (you will drive on 'McKinney Mine Road' to reach our cabin!), and he has a wealth of information about same and North Carolina mountain living. He is also a genuinely nice guy who lives less than a half mile from the cabin.
We believe that we have a great team in place, and all of us are committed to insuring that your stay in the cabin will be fun and memorable. So come enjoy yourself and recharge your batteries in this exceptionally nice log cabin in a beautiful area. We'll try to get you as close to heaven as you can get in this world.
Why they chose this property
There are many lovely areas and nice properties in the mountains of North Carolina. However, there aren't many areas where you can also get a taste of traditional mountain living. While quaint and charming, Little Switzerland is not, and hopefully never will be, a tourist mecca or a wealthy enclave that some areas have become. This is partly due to geography (its at the 'Crest of the Blue Ridge'), but also because there is a lot of preserved wilderness in the area. Yes, things like golf are available locally and some homes are very expensive, but this is not an area where there are too many houses crammed together to share a view, or exclusive millionaire only housing fronting on fancy golf courses. Instead, you will drive by fields with horses and cows and then get on the Blue Ridge Parkway to go get groceries, which are only 6 miles from the cabin. This property is peaceful and bucolic, with lots of wildlife and a smattering of true characters who keep mountain independence alive, but its also convenient and easy to use. So, if you want to stay in a great cabin on a lovely property where you can still experience 'old North Carolina,' including authentic mountain music, then come try our cabin. Its soul shine!
While we love the area's rural character, its also an area where you can easily satisfy creature needs, including medical care. After looking ALL over western North Carolina, we decided that Little Switzerland was the perfect fit between a rural/natural setting and being close to stores and modern needs. It perfect to us and we believe you will feel the same way.
What makes this property unique
Our property is a special mix of terrains. Not many places offer mountain views, open pasture, forested knolls, a spring fed pond, and a creek, but you can experience and explore all of those here.
The owners' long term goals are to maintain the property as a nature preserve while also planting out what will become a de facto botanical garden. Lots of interesting species have already been planted, and one of the things that really prompted the land's purchase was its diversity.
Our property affords a unique opportunity to feel like you have 'gotten away from it all', while having the comfort of knowing that if you need good or services, or even medical care, they are not far away.
And PLEASE consider our cabin if you are a young family looking for a family get away. The couch in the cabin converts to a bed that can sleep up to 2 young children, and one of our motivations in starting this business was to afford young children the same opportunity that I enjoyed and benefited from as a child - the chance to explore and discover nature, and to run wild and free in a natural environment, which unfortunately is far from the realm of experience of most children today. I know that the childhood adventures I enjoyed during summers in the NC mountains were some of the best times of my life, and that they changed me in some important and positive ways. Please consider affording your children these kinds of experiences. Staying in our cabin can be a great opportunity for your family to re-bond in a positive and meaningful way.
