About this cabin rental
Nestled off a private loop on Grassy Mountain near Little Switzerland, a rental cabin awaits you. 'R' Place is a family-owned 3-bedroom cabin named for the Matriarch (Ruby) who envisioned a place of Relaxation, Rest, Rejuvenation, and Refreshing activities. The double-decked structure offers a view of Mt. Mitchell and sometimes a bear and her cubs. It is the perfect place to enjoy a family dinner and a movie or to plan the next day's adventure. Relax in the large Jacuzzi tub and refresh yourself with a good night's sleep in one of the Sleep Number beds.
The cabin is unique with the wood for the interior taken through the whole process by builder/owner Dan. Decorated with a mix of antiques and comfortable new furniture 'R' Place lends itself to be your vacation haven.

The property was as wonderful as the description! Everything was clean and well- cared for. The road up to the house was a bit of an adventure, but that just added to the fun. We will definitely be going again!

The cabin is quaint yet very spacious for larger groups. Mornings with the sunrise on the Black Mountains, and then sunsets sinking behind the mountains is breathtaking. There is plenty of activities locally to enjoy. With Ashville a short drive away the possibilities are endless. This is a great place to getaway and just relax for awhile. We'll definitely be coming back.

We absolutely loved this cabin. There was plenty of space, lots of books and games, and the location was exactly what we wanted. The views were amazing. We hope to travel back and take our kids there next time. This could be a tricky area in the winter if there is snow so keep that in mind. The whole cabin had such an amazing honey feeling. This would be a great experience for anyone looking in the area.

The property itself would have been very accommodating. We however arrived on motorcycles and the drive which is about a mile and a quarter long to get to the property was not motorcycle friendly as described before we rented. We could hardly get to the property once we did, we were stranded there until morning. The owner was very accommodatin, she let us stay one night which we paid for along with the cleaning fees and we're still working with VRBO to get our taxes that were charged in full to us. Of course we were penalized for leaving early but we could never have made it out of the driveway and back everyday twice a day to do our motorcycle rides around the areas. If you have a four-wheel drive you could possibly manage the drive way. Unfortunately we were not able to manage on the 1.5 mile drive to get there due to the road being washed out and replaced with big heavy stones, too thick for the motorcycle to be able to maneuver safely.. Otherwise the property would have been nice for a group to vacation..

Very peaceful and beautiful views. Loved the porch swings.

This was a perfect place for family bonding time. Just far enough away to be alone and close to everything. We enjoyed the atmosphere immensely.
We were able to cook together in the nice kitchen and use the grill to keep food costs down. The dining table was huge and we did a puzzle on it and ate outside on the deck though. Super cozy.
All of the floors were well appointed and instructions were clear about everything. So many sleeping options helped make it easy for us to decide where everyone went, but honestly they were all good options.
The basement was fun. The games were great! Not sure why anyone would watch much TV there, but we did snuggle up and watch a movie one night.
I’ve seen some people say that the road is tough, but if you keep your car in low gear and obey the 8 mph speed limit, it’s a piece of cake. Cant speak for the winter, but snow is always crazy to drive on in the mountains.

Very nice cabin,clean and spacious! The road to cabin was gravel and only one car at a time. We had no trouble but prayed often that we wouldn't meet another car! We loved our stay!

I’m very impressed with the cleanliness and appearance of the property. We were pleasantly surprised with the sleep number bed! Pool and foosball tables are a nice touch! Can’t say enough about the host. Wonderful communication as well as being very kind. You will not regret booking this cabin.

Awesome cabin; however for the older crowd maybe a hand rail for steps. Cabin was great and offered lots to do just at cabin from playing pool, reading books to enjoying a family movie. Will definitely stay again.

Wonderful experience at this little slice of heaven. Lois was very helpful and easily reachable. The cabin far exceeded our expectations with every possible comfort. It's in a wonderful location if you’re looking to disconnect. Also close to endless hiking and outdoor activities we very much enjoyed. We will definitely be back 🙏❤️

Beautiful home sitting high above Little Switzerland. Very comfortable, cozy for two but, with three floors, roomy enough for more. The lower was equipped with a kitchen, shower, beds and game room.Loved the gas fireplaces! Great open kitchen for preparing meals. Sunrise and sunset on the decks with cocktails, overlooking Mount Mitchel! Loved this home! Lois was available quick to respond for questions and assistance. She is a charm!! Thank you!

R Place was the perfect spot for our Smoky Mountain vacation. The views were breathtaking and loved the fact of it being secluded in a mountain setting. Was extremely clean and was stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the book that Lois had available that told the story of how her family built the cabin . Lois was very responsive with any questions we had. Would love to stay here again and would highly recommend this quaint setting!

My husband and I were looking for the natural beauty of the NC mountains, but with solitude away from other houses and traffic, etc. We got that and so much more! The house is wonderful! The view off the back porches is breathtaking. We could really tell that the owners had tried to prepare for their visitors. They had many "little" extras, like coffee filters, salt and pepper, extra blankets, a toaster. My husband loved the pool table in the basement! The one lane gravel road in is not for the faint of heart. My husband is used to this sort of road, so it is not a problem for us, but do be prepared, probably with an all-wheel, 4-wheel, etc. vehicle. We fell in love with this home and hope to come back to visit again, maybe bringing our family next time! Thanks for a wonderful visit!

The cabin was nice and clean with all the all you could need. It was just my wife and I but could easily sleep 6 to 8 and not feel crowded. We were searching for relief from the SC heat and the NC mountains fit the bill. The mornings and evenings were great on the deck looking at the high mountains in the near distance. The cabin was at 3800'.

While we used this rental functionally - to house a disc golf team during a competition - the location and ambience make for an unbelievable stay. It is beautiful, relaxing, and met our every need including cost effectiveness. Highly recommended for whatever your vacation might require.

We feel so lucky to have stumbled across this property. Check in was easy, the owner was responsive, the views were incredible, and the house had everything we needed and more. I would recommend making the trip with a four wheel drive vehicle because of the narrow gravel road up to the house.

We had an amazing stay at 194 R Place. I have been coming to NC every year of my life for vacation (71 years) and have visited Little Switzerland many times. BUT, this is my first stay in this cabin that seems to be at the top of the world! The views are breathtaking and I loved the drive up and down the scenic driveway. This was my husband's first trip to North Carolina's awesome mountains. He is enthralled. There are plenty of activities in the area, but this was a rest and relax vacation and this setting allowed us to do both in a beautiful settibg.

Everything was fine, great experience overall. Only problem was the 1 mile long winding, gravel road to the cabin. Very difficult to navigate on a motorcycle.
Other than that - highly recommended

We loved staying here! The house was certainly big enough for the two of us, so we mostly stayed confined to the first floor with the majority of our time on the deck enjoying the spectacular western view.
House was well stocked, clean, and Lois’ communication about directions were very clear. Heartily recommend!

Mountain Getaway
We enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at this charming, rustic cabin. The views were spectacular! The only downside was the long (1 mile +) one-lane dirt road that was rather difficult driving up the mountain in a sedan.

Well-Situated and Private Mountain Getaway
Very special location and views. Mount Mitchell to the far left. Thoughtful features including night lights and plenty of hot water (2 hot water heaters in basement). The narrow, gravel road was a challenge for my city sedan, but I suppose that comes with a private, high-country site.

Great house
The house was great with a great view. The kids enjoyed the game area in the basement and it was nice having the kid's bedrooms upstairs. The only thing to make it perfect would be to have a TV in the living room downstairs as well. Once the young kids went to bed, we really couldn't watch TV, but we made due. Overall, it was a great house and close to the activities we wanted to do.
