The Alpine Inn is a beautiful and rustic lodge with absolutely stunning views! Perched at 3,200 feet on the side of Grassy Mountain, the Alpine Inn offers the best views in North Carolina, just one mile off the Blue Ridge Parkway (milepost 334) in Little Switzerland. Due to Hurricane Helene, we’ve made some changes. Our main buildings, including the lobby and dining area, were lost, so check-in and check-out are now self-service. For questions, visit our onsite Food Trailer, which serves breakfast and dinner from the Two Guys and a Taco trailer, offering both tacos and the Alpine Inn menu all day from 7am to 7pm unless business is too slow. With no lobby or reception desk, online reservations are encouraged. We appreciate your patience as we rebuild and continue providing a peaceful retreat between Asheville and Boone, perfect for exploring Mount Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, and more. We have a large covered picnic table, gas grill, charcoal grill, swing, and chairs, all available for guests to use at no extra charge. On many nights, we start a fire in our propane firepit and invite everyone to join us. It usually starts at dusk and ends around 10:30pm. There’s a comfortable cushioned swing and chairs. It’s a great place to sit and enjoy an evening fire in the mountains. Inside the guest lounge, there’s a television with wifi reception, games, books, and a telescope. There’s also a Crane Combo vending machine with many snack options including an assortment of cold drinks. You will also find your coffee fix in the mornings with the airpot coffee dispenser free of charge.

07. Balcony Room

Cabin · Sleeps 2
Alpiner’s Treehouse or Room 7 is in our building on the ground level which also happens to be our top floor for the best million-dollar views Grassy Creek Mountain has to offer. Not technically a treehouse but you will feel like it because our little rustic Inn clings to the side of this mountain. It is a modest (200 sq ft) room and no stairs are necessary for this room as it has a small ramp to the upper floor to building two and a cute walk bridge to your front door. Lucky number 7 includes two double beds, a refrigerator, a microwave, Roku flat-screen TV, WIFI electric lever door lock, mini split climate control, a desk and chair. The private bathroom has a simple but spacious shower, toilet, and additional toiletries to make your stay a memorable one. The room has a private corner balcony with two chairs and a small table. Room 7 has windows on two different sides so it feels like you’re in the trees.

The Diamondback or Room 8 is a cozy (200sq ft) rustic room perfect for couples on the top floor in our building overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and the city of Marion down below the canopy on the valley floor.

It has a queen bed, refrigerator, microwave, Roku flat-screen TV, WIFI electric lever door lock, mini split climate control, portable ac unit and a small private bathroom with a shower.
