Fun & unique
The Chalet is a neat little place. Convenient to Little Switzerland, Linville Caverns, and gem mining adventures. Views driving up as well as from the Chalet are spectacular.Even in the aftermath of Helene, just a few months after the storm, it was completely accessible.

Hidden Little Gem
If you're looking for a cozy, off-the-beaten-path retreat, this little stone chalet in the mountains is pure magic. Tucked away from the crowds, it feels like stepping into a storybook—rustic charm meets breathtaking mountain views.The drive up is part of the adventure—a winding mountain road that adds to the charm of the experience, but be prepared for one lane up a very steep mountain. The chalet itself is adorable, with a warm fireplace, wooden beams, and windows that frame stunning mountain views. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect, unwind, and soak in nature.Whether you’re sipping coffee in front of the fire and watching the sunrise or stargazing at night in the meadow down the hill, this place is a hidden gem you won’t forget. Just be sure to pack your sense of adventure for the drive up!

Awesome weekend getaway!
We absolutely loved the chalet. It was very charming and exuded rich history. The owners were kind enough to leave us a fire making bundle which we enjoyed greatly! The place was so cozy and relaxing- the deep tub was amazing! We don’t have a bad thing to say. An absolutely delightful weekend getaway that’s worth every penny.

What a lovely retreat
We spent 2 days at Chalet Switz and love this quaint little chalet! It rained while we were there, but that wasn’t a problem because we loved lounging around and reading the books there about the history of Little Switzerland. We dined at the Little Switzerland Inn which was very good and the view was amazing! The owner stayed in contact and was very accommodating. Everything was wonderful!

Great
I loved staying in this historic place. I loved the stone on the outside and inside. It was the perfect place for our trip. I was worried about there not being any ac, since temps were in the low 80s, but with the fans and windows opened for a nice breeze, the house remained comfortable.I enjoued having coffee on the couch, reading and enjoying looking outside. It was very cozy. Bettie was very fast with communicating, and there were no problems with checking in/out. I definitely recommend the place if you want a quiet getaway.

Romantic solitude (inside, at least)
Driving to this house felt like really getting away, which we needed to feel for our anniversary weekend. But conveniently, it was just over an hour from our own home. We were close to the lovely Little Switzerland (3-4 minutes), an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway (5 minutes), Emerald Village (10 minutes), a Walmart and a variety of restaurants (12-15 minutes). So though we felt "away" we had quick access to all the conveniences we wanted.
Staying inside the chalet feels like you're a million miles from everything, and it's a beautiful, historic getaway. The stone walls and wooden interior are beautiful, and though the building looks old (which is what we were going for!) the facilities feel up to date and comfortable.
Check in and check out were smooth, and we always had quick communication from the host, including travel tips. The fire started right up with the provided wood (at a nominal extra cost for the caretaker).
Stepping outside the home one immediately notices that the owner's house is just across the lawn, so it's not completely isolated and private, but you're outside! At a VRBO! What did you expect?
The building has a 2/3 lengt, 2-foot deep tub at the foot of the bed for bathing, and with the shower hose attachment, one can certainly stand up if desired, but we worried we would get the carpet wet with no curtain. So if you must have a shower instead of a bath, this may not be your ideal location.
However, it worked great for us, and we can't wait to come back!

A Anniversary Getaway
The Historical Stone Chalet in Little Switzerland was a wonderful getaway for us to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! The fireplace was so cozy during our short stay. It was also nice to have the kitchen to prepare meals. Although the most of the businesses in the town of Little Switzerland had closed for the late Fall season, Spruce Pines was a wonderful little town that we enjoyed visiting. We enjoyed eating at one of their local restaurants and of course the coffee shop.
We hope to plan a future stay at this Chalet!!!
Loved our stay!!! A special thank-you to all those who made our stay a memorable one!!! ❤️❤️❤️

We enjoyed our quiet peaceful stay. On the clear nights the star gazing was wonderful and on the one overcast morning we enjoyed the most spectacular sunrise. The fires in the evenings were super cozy. Be aware the mattress is very firm. Thank you for a most enchanting stay Bettie and thanks to Steve for making sure the chalet was inviting to enter and for providing quick responses to our questions.

Wonderful!
It was very cozy, quaint, and secluded. The kitchen is stocked with kitchen supplies so we didn't have to go out every day and was able to make some meals in the chalet and just enjoy our time away. If you have a bad back like we do, I suggest bringing some extra cushioning for the bed. Other than that, we loved it and are definitely planning on visiting Little Switzerland/Spruce Pine again!

オーナー : Bettie Sommer
The day in 1983 during an idyllic vacation hike that I happened upon the dear stone building I later learned was actually the historic Kilmichael Tower, I decided to turn it into a residence although I resided 600 miles away in Winter Park, Florida and worked full time as a linguistics professor at the University of Central Florida. Over the years, having kindred spirits stay in the historic old tower who enjoy its vibes and all the area offers has given me great joy.
In addition to overseeing my vacation rental, my interests include academic studies of intercultural communication as well as the rest of the field of linguistics; designing transportation systems that attract 20% and more of all trips by bicycle and other forms of micro-transport, having done consulting for the seemingly deaf METROPLAN ORLANDO and biked and interviewed the top cycle planners in three northern Europe countries; character photography portraiture and wildlife photography; forest gardening and permaculture; saltwater swimming, fishing, snorkeling, shrimping and lobstering; dance; food; and the wisdom of the Enneagram.
I am quick to respond to inquiries, and Steve -- the caretaker, a lifelong resident in the area and the long time head chef at the nearby Wild Acres Retreat Center-- responds quickly to texts or calls.

Surrounded by wild nature, Grassy Mountain offers the opportunity to be among deer, rabbits, wild turkey, fox, huge owls and other birds, butterflies (including the recently sparse annual monarch butterfly migration), apple trees, wild berry bushes, and forested hillsides of blooming native plants.
Pristine forests, meadows and distinctive homes with lovely gardens and natural landscaping are right there in the village within walking distance. The Switzerland Inn offers breakfast-through-dinner fireside dining with a lively bar, a grand flagstone lobby with a massive fireplace and historic photographs on display and views south into the valley plus a stone patio with bar drinks and dining and some fire pits beyond glowing at night. The village of Little Switzerland is informal, energetic and blessedly free of pretense and commercialism.
The surrounding area is internationally renowned for both its welcoming fine craft artist studios and rustic arts. In the area, folks play mountain music, clog and square dance, work iron and wood, make cane chairs, and engage in other traditional activities visitors may enjoy.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Location, location, location right in the village of Little Switzerland -- surrounded by nature, in a historic building on a mountaintop, and near the Blue Ridge Parkway. A fun vacation getaway tailored to one or two persons in a spacious residential mountain neighborhood with nature still intact. The romance of interior stone walls and holiday architecture and furnishings. Unrivaled views of the firmament in a designated Dark Sky area. A delightful stroll downhill in an ever-changing landscape to the village center. Perfectly located for scenic drives to Mt. Mitchell, Crabtree Meadows and Falls, Linville Falls, Penland and America’s best fine craft studios, and the always fascinating Asheville.
