so peaceful and beautiful view of sunset and sunrise from porch

Little Switzerland fiasco. DID NOT SAY THERE!! Arrived at 2:45 PM - no one home and no directions on how to access property. Contacted Expedia using their virtual assistant explained the situation and after 30 minutes of back and forth texts referred me to an agent . The phone signal was weak but was able to first speak to Mustafa who set up a case number - 117168824. Unfortunately loss the signal and called back a second time and spoke to Jesus. At this point we had been waiting for over one hour outside the property with bugs all around us. This was suppose to be our 3 day stay to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Explained everything to Jesus and told him that we had been waiting over one hour and that we had ENOUGH. We decided to return home. He said he would try to contact the host and to give him a few more minutes - after another 10 minutes he came on the line and said no one picked up the phone. I this point we started driving home. We were in conversation with Jesus who stated that he would process a cancelation and full refund. He also offered us a free night stay for our troubles. I was hesitant as we had decided to head home but told him to try - at this point we received a text at 4:12 PM from the host providing us with access instructions to the properly. Her text stated that we should have received access instructions from VRBO two days ago and she does not know why they were not sent??? We texted her back that it was too late and heading home

I was here to visit a few friends at the Little Switzerland Inn and needed to find a place to stay in and stumbled upon this hidden gem. The property is nestled on a hill, I have a very low car so I was very glad to have a paved road and my own space to park safely overnight. The suite was very spacious, had everything I needed to make a quick meal, and clean after myself. The view from the balcony was amazing as I watched the fog dissipate in the morning while having breakfast. It was very peaceful and quiet and I must have slept like a baby during the night. I would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for letting me stay at your wonderful place.

Great location near Switzerland restaurant, very clean and large space, well stocked with everything you need. Nice private deck featuring a Mountain View. Would certainly stay here again when in the area!

Amazing getaway!! 2nd year coming here! Will come back again. Great place to stay, clean and the renters are easy to work with.

Beautiful views and area. Place was exactly as pictures described. Nice homemade listing of local attractions and a few bonus snacks that were a nice addition. A little hard to find at night, so get there while the suns still up haha.

My husband and I spent two nights in the Little Switzerland Guess House during the height of the fall color season. Our host was especially helpful, giving us information on the most scenic hikes and mountain views to take full advantage of the fall scenery. She also had some really good restaurant recommendations! We loved our short stay and look forward to visiting again!!

Location was wonderful. Within walking distance of little Switzerland inn. Easy to go hiking not far from blowing rock.

The property is great, well maintained with a wonderful view. Being form the low country of SC where it is not only hot but also humid it was great to get fresh air. The owners are very cordial and pleasant. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

This peaceful guest house is very comfortable and well-appointed, close to shopping in Little Switzerland. The view from the deck was wonderful. We also enjoyed the snacks and the chocolates!

My son, a close friend and I took a trip to the area to ride our motorcycles for the weekend and had an amazing time. The area is beautiful, guest house is cozy and well appointed, and the homemade fudge was awesome ;-) I've stayed at a lot of rentals over the years and have to say that Judith's communication was over the top. Every question I had received an immediate response. She even booked us dinner reservations at the Switzerland Inn (great food BTW). Thank you again for making our weekend so relaxing!!

I wanted a quite and peaceful getaway and this place offers exactly that.

What an excellent place with a great view, attentive and wonderful host. My wife and I had a great time, they provide damn near everything necessary for your stay. Will definitely be back. Cozy is the optimal word for it.

I travel frequently for work and have pretty much lived through VRBO . Out of all the places I’ve stayed, it’s this particular property I’ll always remember and come back to. The drive to the cottage is nothing less than stunning.. I’ve always loved the mountains. The restaurant’s are in walking distance and the cottage is a historic stone house. Almost as though you’re stepping back in time. Judith made sure before we got there that our rooms were warm which was very kind- it was freezing. The views from this place are breath taking. Everything was very clean and put together - you will not be disappointed with your stay at this Little Switzerland retreat, thanks so much Judith!

Couldn’t ask for better communication. They were fast & friendly. The room was very clean & up kept. The owners kept it well stocked with everything you may need! Toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner, soap, coffee, snacks, etc. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking!

I had to attend a memorial service in Spruce Pine and needed a rental for one night. This place was exactly what I was looking for. Judith was so easy to work with and provided all the details necessary for a seamless check-in process. The sunrise view from the porch is unparalleled.

This was a lovely little gem in the mountains! The place was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Beautiful views from the deck and very close to downtown.

Everything went very smoothly. From the online reservation, to the ease of checking in, and to the ease of checking out, everything was perfect. Also the owners were very very nice and very very helpful. Would certainly recommend this place to friends.

The studio apartment was easy to locate. It was spotless. The kitchen had all needed accessories and extra goodies like granola bars, hot chocolate, and oatmeal. The host, Judith, was very friendly and happy to help me find things to do in the area. The apartment is within walking distance to Little Switzerland shops and restaurants. The deck was so peaceful. I loved watching the birds, chipmunks, and rabbits roaming the yard. The leaves hadn't changed much, but it was still beautiful. The apartment is attached to the hosts home bu

Perfect location to start our day trips

Great place, highly Recommended. Mike S

Had a wonderful view from the patio and gracious host. Studio type setting with a large bathroom and washer and dryer. Lots of snacks, bottles of water, and coffee. Our hosts were very responsive and incredibly nice. Little Switzerland's restaurant next door is great and they can get you a reservation. Nice touches like shampoo and conditioner if you didn't want to go digging in your toiletry bag. Great place to see the sunrise. Very close to nice hikes and waterfalls.

I had an excellent two-night stay recently. This little apartment is a gem, with everything you need. The owners were very personable and helpful but not overbearing at all. They are also very thoughtful, with lots of goodies in the fridge for free. There's not a lot in Little Switzerland, but all is in easy walking distance, as is a great hike to Grassy Creek Falls. And access to the Blue Ridge Parkway is literally a one to two minute drive.

The guest suite was clean, quiet with a great view.

This suite was an absolute gem! It was immaculately clean and the hosts left snacks and drinks for us in the mini fridge. The property was conveniently located to town, restaurants and a short drive to gem mining, hiking and waterfalls. I would definitely recommend this property and will visit again!

Judith was a wonderful host. Her apartment was located adjacent to her home, with a separate entrance so we came and went as desired. She was very thoughtful in providing her accommodations, which included a large open room, snacks, access to a washer/dryer, and a typed summary of area attractions (which we used to visit several waterfalls !) She even offered to make a dinner reservation at a local restaurant where we enjoyed a first class dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Yum!

I loved the location of the property and the privacy. The grounds were beautiful and there is a very private back deck which was perfect for star-gazing! I even saw a meteor :) The host was a great communicator and I enjoyed my stay so much that I will be back.

Lovely, quiet hilltop getaway within walking distance to little shops, ice cream parlor, cafe, and hiking! Judith and Mike were extremely helpful while still being respectful of our privacy! The suite was clean, well stocked, and very inviting!

We enjoyed our stay at Haus Edelweiss greatly and had a wonderful time in Little Switzerland. The guest house was extremely clean, spacious, and equipped with a full kitchen, a mini frig with many goodies. The queen bed and sofa bed were both very comfortable. We also had access to Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney+ as guest and enjoyed couple of movies during our stay. The guest house is situated high up hill and offers a beautiful view of the the mountain and the surrounding area. The local café, bookstore, general store, the Switzerland Inn, and restaurants are within 5 minutes walking. Walking down hill and you are literally on the Blue Ridge Parkway. A short 10 minutes drive in both directions on the the Blue Ridge offers some amazing overlooks including the historical Apple Orchard at the Altapass. Emeral Village, NC Museum of Mineral, Spruce Pine are all within 15 minutes drive. I have to admit driving up and around Little Switzerland. is quite an experience since the highway is part of the Diamondback. However, I did enjoy a lot driving around the area, in a minivan! So, you don't need a 4x4 in summer time. Overall, we are extremely satisfied and highly recommend this property for all who considers vacationing in the beautiful Little Switzerland.

Judith and Mike were terrific hosts...place was great, gorgeous view, they didn't bother us at all but were readily available, will tell friends and hope to be back...great getaway especially for our 48th wedding anniversary.

This is a nice, quiet place within walking distance to local cafes and shops. We enjoyed our time there a lot.

Very nice room located in the small little town of Little Switzerland. The property is very comfortable and the host is great. They were in constant contact and provided us with a very nice experience. We would definitely stay here again.
