Description

Enter a world of country charm with relaxing views and amazing sunsets when you make a trip to ‘Grinder Switch’, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental, close to Bryson City, Harrah’s Casino, and Blue Ridge Parkway. Although the location is great, this home is also secluded as it sits on 200 park-like acres with hiking trails in Settler’s Mountain. You’ll be able to use the community rec room and pavilion, in addition to the already incredible private decks and fire pit, teeming with birds.

    We were very impressed with the coziness & clealiness of the cabin. The mountain views were outstanding. Everything we wanted to do was very close by. We will be back!

  • Hard to find a place a family with teens to agree on

    5/5

    The stay was amazing for me and my wife it was quite and peaceful. Very close to the amenities and shops of downtown Bryson city. The cottage on grinders switch was perfect for our family it was clean well kept with plenty of room. We visited specifically so our 5 year old could ride the Polar Express on the Smokey Mountain Rail Road which was less then 10 minutes from the cottage. The cottage had all the amenities you could ever need. The best endorsement I can give is that anyone with teenage girls will tell you is that it is impossible to get them to admit to enjoying anything let alone where you stay but my girls were actually sad to leave they enjoyed the stay that much. We look forward to staying there again in the near future.
