Incredible view & cute town

5/5 Stayed Sep 2017

Rick, the owner, super friendly! The home has the most breath taking views! Stars at night and mountains in the morning! Home has all your needs to feel like home. Private and comfortable. Internet, direct tv and a grill. Hot tub was awesome at night under the stars! The town offers shopping at Walmart and a lot of free things to do like hiking, biking and small adventures. If your looking for more hip downtown action, it's about an hour drive to Asheville. Otherwise we were very content doing outdoor things!

Gorgeous Christmas Gettaway

5/5 Stayed Dec 2016

Our family of four stayed at the cabin over Christmas, and attended a Christmas Eve candlelight service in Marion, about a half-hour drive away. After a hectic year for our family, the beauty of the mountains, and the peace and quiet of Rick's cabin, were just what the doctor ordered. The view, as everyone else has pointed out, is simply breathtaking, and we spent at least part of every night in the hot tub, stargazing. If you do book in the winter four wheel drive is advised in case of snow. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Perch. And Rick is a great host, easy to work with and very accommodating. Thanks for sharing your cabin, Rick!

Rick met us right on time. Showed us to the cabin and acquainted us with all amenities, hot tub, etc. He offered some recommendations of restaurants in the area as well as local supermarkets and areas of interests. He even brought us fresh vegetable from his garden. Would highly recommend Perch Cabin. It is 5 minutes from BlueRidge Parkway, close to restaurants and tourist sites yet it is extremely isolated, quiet and the views are phenomenal.

My husband and I like to take a little getaway prior to the hustle and bustle of the holidays and this was just the place to stay. Rick was very welcoming. The cabin was very comfortable and cozy. The scenery from the deck and hot tub was magnificent. We would highly recommend "The Perch Cabin" if you are seeking rest and relaxation.

Spectacular View

5/5 Stayed Sep 2016

My husband and I had the most relaxing vacation at Rick's cabin. We loved hanging out on the deck; we had to pry ourselves away from the view. We enjoyed the Blue Ridge parkway, trips to Mt. Mitchell, Crabtree Falls and Carolina Hemlock State park. Rick was most helpful with recoomendations for places to go and places to die. We enjoyed eating out on the deck, it was great to have the charcoal grill. We weren't sure if we'd use the hot tub on the deck, but decided to try it. Loved it! Would have been a mistake to miss out on it. It was really hard to leave, glad we took a lot of pictures to relive the memories.

There was an excellent Wi-Fi connection. We found that there was good cell phone coverage with Verizon.

My husband and I stayed at The Perch for one week celebrating our anniversary. The cabin is great and Rick is wonderful to work with. The view from the deck is amazing!!!! The view is different every day. We loved being in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. The cabin had all the comforts of home and was so clean. The fireplace was nice on cool evenings. It is so peaceful and absolutely beautiful on Grassy Mountain. We will definitely stay there again. Thanks Rick for a wonderful week!

THE PERFECT VACATION

5/5 Stayed Aug 2015

My new wife and I, in an effort to cut costs, decided to honeymoon here instead of some exotic far away location. Within about an hour of being at the perch cabin, we quickly realized that we wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else. Rick is GREAT; so easy to work with and didn't fuss one bit about meeting us for check in at 10pm on a Sunday night!

As for the cabin itself, everyone needs to know that the pictures do not do it justice. The views from the cabin alone are absolutely awe-inspiring. Not to mention, it's location about 60 seconds from the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 500 mile long scenic nature lover's dream. Also, the hot tub (which Rick had fired up to a cozy 100 degrees upon arrival) on the deck was an incredible feature, which I tried to spend as much time in as possible!

Price...check!

Location/view...check!

Cabin rental quality.....

The cabin itself was perfect!! The first thing my wife and I noticed when we were exploring the first night was HOW CLEAN it was. The amenities were perfect down to the little details...there were plenty of areas that could have been skimped on and compensated with elsewhere but Rick clearly took the time, energy, and money to make everything about this rental PERFECT. I was shocked to discover 2 TV's (one big screen in the master and one very nice one in the living room), both with cable and DVD players, and high speed wireless internet throughout the whole cabin!

A massive stone fireplace with enough wood to get you through the winter was an incredible feature.

The kitchen was phenomenal with updated appliances and ANY cooking utensil you could possibly need.

A washer/dryer unit was perfect to avoid that big bag of stinking laundry you inevitably end up with at the end of a vacation.

Basically, I couldn't say enough good things about this vacation rental. My wife and I have already made plans to return to the Perch Cabin next year for our anniversary!

Great private mountain getaway!

5/5 Stayed May 2017

My wife and I stayed 5 nights at the Pinewoods cabin. We liked the cabin a lot and had a great time in the area. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. It's in a very private location with a great mountain view from the rear deck. We hiked to scenic waterfalls in the day and made use of the hot tub, the charcoal grill and the full kitchen in the evening. There are a few decent restaurants nearby and 2 grocery stores about 5 miles away where you can stock up on whatever you might need. Rick was a great host. He communicated with us promptly and gave us tips about the area. We had a great getaway and would certainly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Great vacation with stunning mountain views!

5/5 Stayed Nov 2017

We had a wonderful time at The Pinewoods. It's such a great property. It's very secluded and private, and the mountain views from the back deck are exceptionally beautiful. The house was very nice, and it was clean and comfortable. The fireplace was great, we had a fire going in the fireplace just about the whole time we were there, and enough cut firewood was provided, which was nice. Rick was super friendly and he was really helpful. Once he got us to the property and showed us around for a few minutes, he then respected our privacy for the remainder of the time we were there, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was an excellent vacation and I would certainly book The Pinewoods again.

The Very Best Anniversary Get-Away Ever!

5/5 Stayed Oct 2015

Jeff D.

A week away from the hustle and bustle at Rick"s Pinewoods Home was exactly what we needed to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary! It is a wonderful mountainside home with the best view in the Valley! Tucked away into seclusion, you'd never know a Walmart existed just a short drive away! The hot tub on the deck was a seller for us as we enjoyed it every evening. Little Switzerland's village just down the driveway provided some nice conveniences close by. No doubt if you are looking for a wonderful place and the most pleasant, and accommodating property owner choose the Pinewoods. You will be happy you did!

Wonderful Honeymoon at the Pinewoods!

5/5 Stayed Aug 2015

Brockton B.

My wife and I recently stayed for a week at the Pinewoods for our honeymoon. First of all, the pictures really don't do the cabin justice. The interior is very warm and cozy without being overly rustic. The space was great for just me and my wife but it would have been roomy for groups of 4 to 6 people too. The hot tub was warmed up and ready to go when we got there and the outdoor grill was easy to use. The best part was how secluded the cabin was. There were no other cabins within sight and there was a beautiful mountain view from the outdoor deck. But there was a nice coffee shop and general store with a few essentials right off the mountain road just 5 minutes from the cabin. And there was a nice Walmart just 15 minutes away for groceries. So you get the best of both worlds, privacy and convenience. The owner, Rick, was very friendly. He asked us to leave some things on the porch that he'd left there while cleaning and he picked them up without us even noticing. And on our last day when we found our car battery dead, Rick showed up within 20 minutes to give us a jump. All in all, we had a wonderful and relaxing stay and would definitely recommend this rental to our friends!

Secluded Romantic Vacation

5/5 Stayed Jun 2015

My fiancee' and I had a wonderful week in Little Switzerland at this gorgeous cabin. Rick was very friendly and responsive to all our needs. The views from the cabin were incredible. Loved the clouds rolling right into you on the porch while sitting in the hot tub. Sat down by the fire at night when temperatures cooled off a bit. We did a lot of hiking to local waterfalls(Linville and Crabtree), visited close by towns of Spruce Pines for Golf, dining and fireworks, Blowing Rock to see the Rock and incredible views and of course Boone. Also visited close by Asheville to visit the Biltmore Estate and Gardens. Hit Lake James for a cookout, canoeing and swim. Warm comfortable temperatures during the day and perfect cooling temperatures to sleep to at night. Favorite Restaurants were Mountain View Restaurant with an incredible view and excellent food. A very affordable and friendly Mexican Restaurant downtown (El Ranchero). The Switzerland Inn, we ate on the deck to take in the view. I had a blackened chicken pasta dish that I will be craving for quite a while. The local lunch hangout is the Cafe on the corner serving a quality barbecue. We took long drives on the Blue Ridge Parkway with views that took your breath away while portions of the curvy drive do the same, especially when you go out over air - a bit freaky. Loved it and our time in Little Switzerland. The perfect getaway from the heat and humidity here in Southern Florida. Thanks Rick

Wonderfully Secluded Mountain Getaway

5/5 Stayed Sep 2014

Eric P.Cincinnati

My wife and I came here for our honeymoon in September 2014, and all of our expectations were exceeded. We were looking for a secluded mountain getaway with a wood burning fire place, and Rick's house was the perfect fit.

The house is wonderfully tucked away to the point where you won't know any neighbors exist unless you go for a walk searching for them. From the house, there is no other home you can see. At night there was only one man-made light in view, and it was on the other side of the valley a good 1-3 miles away. The house is so secluded, there's no need for any blinds or curtains on the mountain view side; there's simply no one to disturb you. The home is live-in ready, clean, well-maintained and beautiful. Waking up to a mountain sunrise and watching the mountain sunset was so beautiful, and the crisp mountain air was super refreshing. The beds and bedding were comfortable, the couch and chairs were comfortable, the fire place was easy to figure out and the Jacuzzi tub was large and relaxing.

Rick is an exceptionally friendly man, he answered all our questions leading up to the day of arrival, and he even came out to the house on our last day to give us a jump because our car battery was dead. I couldn't have asked for more from him.

I have no complaints whatsoever, and I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a romantic getaway, looking to get away from society for a bit, or wanting a to stay in a beautiful mountain house. You'll love the house, the view, and working with Rick.
