Richard Fraginals May 12, 2025 06:53:12 AM

Summary: This was my second time staying at the GRINDER’S SWITCH CABIN. The cabin was spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the air conditioner quickly cooled the cabin when needed. I’ll definitely be booking this cabin again next year

Brandon Dec 30, 2024 12:43:10 AM

Summary: Very nice cabin. Plenty of space for a full size family. Good spot near shops and Polar Express train ride. It had everything you needed to cook with and accommodate a big family. The price for our stay was very reasonable for our time and the size of our family! Would definitely recommend these cabins to anyone that would like to visit this area!

Richard Dec 11, 2024 02:36:58 AM

Summary: Great place to stay

Tyler Nov 12, 2024 03:28:27 PM

Summary: This was our second time staying at Grinders Switched and it was just as amazing as the first. Quiet and quaint little cabin perfect for a relaxing get away. Definitely will be back!

David Nov 5, 2024 03:30:09 PM

Summary: 2nd time staying at this property, first time at the 1830's cabin (which has a LOT more charm) this time at grinders switch. We were given a 10% discount for being return customers. Beautiful secluded location and close to everything. The beds were very comfortable, but the sofa (sofa bed) and winged back chair not so much, kinda disappointing after a long drive or a day in the smokies that we did not have something comfortable to sit on. sleeps up to 6 people but definitely not enough space for 6 to sit. There is lots of outdoor space to sit or stroll around. saw deer on the property while on a stroll. there is a .50 per piece of wood if you want to have a fire, other places usually include that. We took our own paper towels and toilet paper because what is provided is very cheap and thin. The windows were dirty inside and out, so certain times of the day it was hard to see out of them. chairs around the firepit were broken. found cobwebs in several spots of the building along with bugs in the light covers. The kitchen was nicely equipped except for the 5 cup coffee maker (10 cup in listing picture) and lack of spices if you plan on cooking there. The bird feeder hanging on the front porch was emptied when we arrived and never refilled during the 7 days we were there The 1 real odd thing was there was 2 of us staying here and as a welcome they left 1 hershey bar?? compared to our stay 2 years ago this stay was just ok, BUT if we come back to Bryson City we will stay at Settlers Mountain again.

Summary: We traditionally come down to the area three or four times a year and stay on the other side of the mountain. Due to the hurricane, we shifted our focus further west. How blessed we were to have found this gem! The cabin was pet friendly, clean, well equipped and thoughtfully organized. The other cabins, though nearby in walking distance, we're fairly separate from one another which added privacy without making you feel isolated. There were two trails on the property we walked our first day there that added to the adventure and exploration. We were amazed at how well kept all of the cabins appeared as well as the vast green space around them. The proximity to several areas of the Great Smoky Mountain Park as well as Bryson City and Cherokee made it ideal for giving us a variety of options for entertainment each day. Prompt response received from both the owner and the property manager when a question arose as well as upon arrival and departure. Would highly recommend!

NATHAN A. Oct 7, 2024 10:51:40 PM

Summary: We had three guys just wanting to chill and hike and this was perfect for our needs. Felt very secluded but was easy to get to. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes/tools/etc. We also really enjoyed the fire pit area.

Lynette Oct 1, 2024 01:24:43 PM

Summary: My sister and I had a great visit to the Smokey Mountains and truly enjoyed our stay at Grinder's Switch. We rafted on the Nantahala, shopped in Bryson, and enjoyed the mountain air and views. The house was clean as a whistle, well-equipped, private and nicely landscaped. We enjoyed all of the bird life, especially the non-stop hummingbirds.Although we had two days of pouring rain from Helene, the house was safe and dry. The owners allowed us to stay an extra night after all of the roads in the area were closed. We made it home today after a 9 hour drive for what should have been 6.3 hours.The flooding around Ashville and on into Tennessee was devastating and the detours were often down to one lane. God bless those poor people and the cleanup they have ahead of them.A real adventure, but overall a great trip and a lovely house.

Phyllis E. Aug 1, 2024 03:01:40 PM

Summary: Our stay here was very nice. Everything was just as it was explained online. The location was perfect!! We especially loved the fire pit area. All amenities were just as explained online. We will definitely be going back to this location.

Summary: Loved it was our second trip to same place but different cabin. Fantastic
