新しいリスト！ 温水浴槽付き12エーカーのw / Blue Ridge Pkwyのすぐそば！ 牧歌的な至福

Hi, we are Steve and Soony Pearson, respectively the General Manager and Communications Manager of Logs and Stones Vacation Rentals, LLC. We split our time between a log home in Little Switzerland and Miami, where we are from. Steve is soon retiring as an arboretum director at the University of Miami and he is passionate about plants and their importance. We are looking forward to being able to spend a bigger portion of our time in North Carolina, and expand a collection of rare trees that we have started on the property. We love this part of NC and our property, and you will too!

While we are actively involved in our business, we also depend on our friends Doug McKinney working as Property Manager, and his wife Betty McKinney working as Hospitality 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 and Betty are also genuinely nice people who live 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 in this exceptionally nice log cabin in a beautiful area. We think its as close to heaven as you can get in this world.

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 for the masses or an exclusive, wealthy enclave like 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 that commercializes the area. This is rural mountains, yet close to modern amenities. You will drive by fields with horses and cows, and you will open a world of vistas and scenery when you get on the Blue Ridge Parkway, whether for fun or simply to get groceries, which are only 6 miles from the cabin. This property is peaceful and bucolic, with lots of wildlife, and it's in an area that still has 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 and this area. Its soul shine!

After looking ALL over western North Carolina, we decided that Little Switzerland was the perfect fit between a rural/natural setting while also being close to stores and modern needs. We love it and believe you will also.

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 prompted this land's purchase was its diversity, even including a small area that is high mountain bog.

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 goods 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 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.
