About this property

Relaxation Station on Grassy Mountain - Open April though October

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.

One of the sleep number beds was uncomfortable. Think it may need attention or some instructions on how to operate it. Also have your cleaning crew check the batteries in the remotes, the one that I found that wasn’t working had some corrosion. Really a great place all-in-all

Great communication and very cozy/clean spot. As stated in descriptions, the last bit of mountain gravel road is somewhat of a challenge (not too intimidating) but boy is it worth it for the view. Lots of space. Would stay here again

The cabin and views were awesome. The road and driveway(1 mile) are single car/truck width, if you meet someone on the road , one party will have to back up until a space is available to pass by.We were pulling an enclosed 14' motorcycle trailer and were able to just squeeze it up and down the road and property. The gravel drive is of decent quality, steep with some water bars. If you are a seasoned motorcycle rider it should be no problem ,if otherwise, you may consider another rental.Lois was a pleasure to communicate with and the cabin is well set up and in a very serene atmosphere!

Relaxation Station is an accurate name for this place

Wonderful stay, with plenty of room for a good sized family. Tucked in the woods gives you a real sense of your surroundings. Other than constant planes flown over head ( flying lessons I believe from local airstrip), peace and tranquility

Beautiful Place for a getaway

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.

From our initial booking, communicating with Lois was a delight. We were already excited to getaway as a little family but she sweetened the deal with her kindness. She even gave us ideas of things to do locally with our kids ages 4-10! Our family loved the cabin -- it was literally a little piece of paradise. The views were spectacular and we were able to disconnect and truly enjoy time together. If you're looking for a place to getaway, look no further!

The ride up to the cabin was intimidating (especially the first time!) but totally worth it! The view was beyond our expectations. Lois and Dan made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. Movies, books, games, places to snuggle and more. Loved it!!

Great escape

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.

About the host

Hosted by Lois Carter

Host profile image
This house is owned by Dan and sister Lois. We fell in love with Little Switzerland while traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway. We bought the property 20 years ago and finished this house in 2010. We harvested trees from the site and the family farm in West Virginia to make flooring and poplar paneling and cabinets. Both of us are retired teachers and enjoy our time in the mountains with our families.
