Cozy cabin

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.

Wonderful long weekend

Ginnys Cabin was absolutely perfect. Jeff thought of everything you need from frozen pizza and ice cream in the freezer to smores and wine. The cabin was perfect for our unplug getaway and we will definitely be back to spend more time there. Such a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle and just relax!!!

Quaint and Cozy Cabin

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.

Extremely Relaxing

We had a great stay at Ginny's Cabin. The cabin is so quaint and has everything you need to help you unplug and unwind. We spent our days hiking the mountains and as enjoyable as that was, we loved coming back to the cabin to cook dinner, eat outside in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the peace and quiet. Jeff and Ginny herself made wonderful hosts. We would highly recommend this place.

Back for a second time.

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!

April mountain respite

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!!

Cozy Christmas Stay

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!
