A Little History and Glimpse of the Future: We call our mountain getaway in Little Switzerland the 'Rieke Retreat'. It has been in the family since 1970. It used to be an old homestead for the 'McKinney family' starting in the 1920's. Every year we have done a significant refurbishing to where it is really nice today.

What is 'LSD'?: 'LSD' means Little Switzerland Downtown. It is only nine-tenths of a mile from our house. The New Book Exchange is the highlight. Here you can relax on a sofa in front of a big fireplace, sip coffee or wine and get lost in the book of your choice (I forgot the classical music in the background). Hungry? Go next door to the Little Switzerland Cafe and have the best Trout BLT in the world followed by apple pie and ice cream! Need a bottle of wine and some cheese for later on? Go through the doors to the Little Switzerland General store and they have quite a selection. You have entered another world. And you are not dreaming......

Ski: Nearby Ski Resorts are in Banner Elk, Blowing Rock which include Appalachian, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain. Approx. 45 minutes from the house.

Golf: Grassy Creek Golf course is a public course only 10 minutes away in Spruce Pine. Mount Mitchell Golf Course is about 20 minutes away and is under the largest mountain East of the Mississippi River - Mt. Mitchell. It is well-established and famous for its layout and views. Make your reservations here in advance. You can also eat in the clubhouse or at Albert's German Restaurant.

Guest Book: The best organized whitewater rafting which is closest to the Rieke Retreat is the Nolichucky River; about 45 minutes from the house in Erwin, Tennessee. Little Switzerland is the perfect place to train for bicycling. You can start at the Little Switzerland entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and try to 'Assault on Mt. Mitchell' which is about 33 miles. Lance Armstrong has been known to train in this area.

Other Activities: Gem Mining
