A simply wonderful place!! We got married on the grounds (they do a magnificent job by the way) and also have stayed here numerous times over the past 6-7 years. We just keep coming back. The inn is rustic but comfortable - love the lobby fireplace when it's cool outside and the outdoor patio lounge when it's warmer out. The restaurant is always good with a wonderfully diverse menu. The inside bar is well-stocked and occasionally lively - often with live music. The staff has always been friendly and very customer-focused. But, knowing the owners well, they would fix any issue someone may possibly have anyway. I travel for a living but this is the one place we keep coming back to every time.

As I sit here in the busy CLT airport, I can't help but be reminded of my relaxing stay at the Switzerland Inn. My wife and I made the getaway to the blue ridge after a busy summer and were very pleased with the accommodations and service at the inn. It is a beautiful place filled with wonderful people. If you are looking for a place away from the crowds and with an elevation above 3000 ft boasting phenomenal mountain views... This is it!

Stopped in for the night while traveling the Blue Ridge checking out the fall foilage and it happened to be the Inn's annual Halloween party. All the locals and staff were dressed up it made for a great evening. The rooms, food, and service were great as always. We always stop in during the fall whenever we are leaf looking. We have stayed here for years and it is always wonderful!

We stayed here the last night of their fall season (they close for winter after the first weekend in November), and even though most of the leaves had fallen the view was still beautiful and the inn was lovely. It was much too chilly to take advantage of any outdoor activities, but there's a large fireplace in the main lobby--perfect for playing checkers (they have tables set up), reading, and sipping a cup of coffee.

Don't expect cookie-cutter hotel chain rooms--this place has old school charm with dark wood paneling and hand-painted swiss murals behind the beds. The bedding appears to be new, and the bathroom also seems to have been updated. The rooms are quite large. If you were traveling with friends or kids, you could comfortably fit a couple cots or pack-n-plays in the extra space. I did notice that we could hear more of our neighbors than we might have liked, but that's my only complaint.

The restaurant on the property was great for dinner, ho-hum for breakfast. Yes, dinner is a little pricy, but, the meal was hearty and unique (I had a cranberry chicken dish and my husband had the bourbon glazed trout) and the ambience was wonderful. Besides, what else are you going to do on top of a mountain?

Make sure to walk into "downtown" and visit the quaint general store and bookstore. Perfect blustery afternoon shopping.
