About this property

PET FRIENDLY COTTAGE 3.5 MILES FROM LAKE MOOMAW!

SWITZERLAND TRAIL RETREAT is just that - a wonderful retreat just 3.5 miles from Lake Moomaw! This lovely ranch home is fresh and almost brand new after a complete remodel with new furnishings, floors, windows, HVAC and paint throughout. The cozy home has a deep front porch overlooking a peaceful valley. The living room has a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace and a large stack of firewood is provided for the fireplace or outdoor fire pit! The eat-in kitchen is well appointed and includes everything needed for preparing your own meals.

There are three bedrooms. Two bedrooms have queen size beds with brand new furniture and premium, comfy mattresses. The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a double bed on the bottom and twin on top! There is one full bathroom with a brand new tub/shower combo.

The home's HVAC system is state of the art and includes an ultra violet light filter that kills all viruses including COVID. There is a new UV water filtration system as well.

The cottage is located 2 miles down a well-maintained gravel country road, only traveled by the people who live there. Enjoy complete peace and quiet at this cozy cottage - a tranquil, pastoral setting by day and amazing dark skies by night. Your furry friends are welcome here (dogs only please and no more than 2. $100 pet fee applies). They too will love hanging out on the front porch that is gated or curling up with you at the fire pit!

If you are looking to get away from it all, this is the place! If you are looking for the ultimate year-round outdoor adventure location - this is also the place - just 5 miles from The Omni Homestead Resort known for its world-class golf courses, 3.5 miles from Lake Moomaw for fantastic boating, fishing and hiking, and less than 1 hour to Snowshoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia for skiing, snowboarding, tubing and more!

Great place for a getaway

We had a great time in this place, we were 3 adults and a toddler and really valued the space we had. The views are fantastic and our nights by the fireplace were the best. Hoping to come back soon!

Lake Moomaw weekend

We went so one of us could swim the Lake Moomaw 1 Mile Swim. Great house, we had 4 adults and loved the porch and fire pit. We cooked breakfast each morning and had ample room for drinks, lunch food and snacks. We grilled one night. Very convenient to warm springs, Lake Moomaw, a river to fish.

Family vacation

The house was definitely nice. Me and the family enjoyed. No cell phone service made it a little interesting for everyone. Would definitely recommend the property, and stay again when we come back next time. Thank you

Would be nicer in the summer

Place is way way off the beaten track. Didn't like that I had to go to a property manager to get paperwork with door code. It was out of the way, as I was supposed to go to Covington and it would have made the trip longer to go past one of the routes to the place, for a door code. Used to having door code on site with all the information. Lovely house, but internet is very very slow and couldn't watch anything but DVD's. It is close to the lake, so summer would have been much better. If you are looking to un-plug this is a great place to do so. The cows across the road, where fascinating to watch. Beautiful area.

Would want to stay a month!

Great place to get away from stress. Very clean. Well stocked as far as utensils and cooking items. Difficult to find without a map and GPS comes in and out and signage is limited and confusing if you are not familiar with the area. Would have preferred a map included with written directions. Would have also liked more directions to get to restaurants in the area (we had menus but limited GPS coverage). There are very few unless you get to Hot Springs and the Omni. The Omni is incredible. Grocery stores are limited so plan ahead.

Amazing secluded home

This was the best VRBO we have stayed in. It is down a long (2 mile) gravel road and there are almost no other houses. Across the road from the house are cows and always in the yard every time you come or go or look out the window are deer. There is an amazing fire pit we enjoyed tremendously every evening. The home was very clean and everything you need for a get away (good movie selection). If going to Hot Springs again, we will definitely be staying here.

Lovely place for a family gathering

This house was a perfect place for our three families to gather. It had relatively close access to Moomaw which was great for swimming and kayaking. The gravel roads leading to the lake can take longer if you drive slowly. The house had a nice big porch with rocking chairs. Beth was great to work with. She very quick to respond to all of my questions and helped make our stay very easy. There was some cell service in the front yard, but we enjoyed being more unplugged. We also enjoyed the apple tree in the yard. And seeing many fawns come into the yard. We would love to return in the future.

Remote & Quiet

Enjoyed sitting on the front porch looking at the cows and waking up in the morning with deer in the backyard. There is a long drive to town so you might want to get your supplies ahead of time so you can enjoy your time without interruption. If you enjoy cooking the kitchen has extremely basic cooking utensils, pots, pans, knives etc. There is no range hood in the kitchen & no dishwasher. The only light in the kitchen is the ceiling fan light & it is very dim & needs to be upgraded to a daylight led. The porch light didn't appear to be working or needed a bulb. The is no exhaust fan in the bathroom to remove odors or steam from the shower.
