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.

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.

Really enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was clean, organized, and well-appointed so that we would be instantly comfortable. The location was excellent for hiking down to the village or driving out for further excursions. We would absolutely stay again.

Relaxing stay in an authentic cabin, top faves were the fireplace, goodies left by our generous host and all the extra blankets to keep you cozy. The grill is under a covered porch. Location is perfect to the gem mine, conservatory and Little Switzerland is right down the road. If you are looking for an authentic cabin feel close to activities this is it.

Almost every advertised aspect of this historic cabin was either an exaggeration or a lie.
We were OVERRUN by BIG black ants the entire stay in every part of the cabin! Imagine BIG black ants in bed, all over the kitchen and eating areas, dropping down on you from the ceiling as you watched television, etc.
Upon arrival an hour after we could check in, the A/C wasn’t turned on and the cabin was around 80° downstairs and at least 85° upstairs. Unacceptable!
The supposed “walkable” areas are only so along very narrow, curvy, two-lane roads with no shoulder or sidewalk, and the actual “Village” is over 15 minutes walk away down and up steep hills.
Nowhere is it mentioned that the Property Manager lives less than 100 feet from the cabin, so privacy is almost non-existent, with the patio/fire pit area almost right beside his home.
Lastly, for reasons that defy belief, the Property Manager decided to mow his lawn and the grassy areas around the cabin starting at 3:00 p.m. on the Saturday of our weekend stay. My expensive Jeep sat within ten feet of where he mowed, but was luckily not damaged. My wife had to come inside to get away from him mowing, which he did for around 90 minutes.
The price per night for these conditions and behavior by the Property Manager is RIDICULOUS!

Jeff was a superb host who thought of everything to make our stay memorable- from the oversized marshmallows for s’mores to wood for a blazing fire to condiments in the fridge and keurig coffee pods to personal dining recommendations he was the host’s host. We would definitely choose his cabin again. Thanks, Jeff!!

We enjoyed Ginny’s cabin so much last time that, just ~ 3 months later, we returned for a second visit. Freezing rain, snow and temps below freezing didn’t prevent us from finding a warm, cozy place by the fire and enjoying this wonderful cabin. Thanks for having us!

Jeff was a great host. He is right next door willing to help or answer any questions. Nice cabin with everything you need. Weather was cold but we stayed warm with the beautiful fireplace and all additional heating sources that were offered throughout the cabin.

My wife and I always go away for a weekend around Christmas time for a stay with our doggies. The cabin was the perfect spot for our weekend away. It was so cozy, sitting by the fire… we so enjoyed making a fire in the beautiful fireplace. The hosts had added so many things to the cabin to make the stay there awesome- from the makings for S’mores, the bottle of wine ( might I add dressed in its own Christmas sweater) , all the things you would need in the kitchen, bathrobes, heated blankets and so much more. We loved our stay . Our doggies so enjoyed sitting by the warm, crackling fire too!

If you’re looking for a place to chill, Ginny’s Cabin is the perfect place. It combines rustic charm with modern conveniences, a beautiful location, and access to some incredible trails. Jeff is the ideal host, accommodating but not intrusive. We spent a wonderful three nights there with our two German Shepherds and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
8.0
I would characterize it as a “clamping” experience, just because it was bit cold and drafty at night. We just put extra blankets. we were gone most of the days out hiking all day. It was fine as a place to crash and regroup for Blue Ridge Parkway drives. Enjoyed
10.0
Our experience from pre-booking to check out was flawless. Jeff, property owner, adds such warm details such as hot cocoa, s’mores and snacks for the arrival. The cottage is beautifully decorated to bring out the historic details. Five star experience! We will be back!
