Swiss Roots

Our time at the Swiss Roots Inn was everything we hoped it would be. We stayed for 4 nights/5 days, and it was a quiet, slow-paced visit to a tiny community with interesting history and great food! We used Helvetia as a jumping-off point for day hikes at Holly River and Kumbrabow parks. The staff was kind and our room was very clean and comfortable. The common areas were ample and appropriately supplied (and I bought emergency eye drops from the general store downstairs). There was an open porch to eat meals, watch the comings and goings of the hummingbirds and the postman during the day and to look up at the stars and watch the moths flit about at night. Not only is Helvetia a lovely little respite from city life - the Swiss Roots Inn was the perfect place to settle in for a wee bit.Nearby activities: Make sure to visit Holly River and Kumbrabow parks for beautiful scenery and great hikes.Walkability: The town is easily walkable ... the public library & small museum are directly across from the inn, it is a short walk to the Hutte Restaurant and other sites in town.Food & drinks: The Hutte Restaurant serves delicious meals in a charming historic building full of antiques, Fasnacht masks and art work. It has great ambiance.

The Swiss Roots Inn offerd a comfortable night's sleep. Though I must say the nightlife in town left a little to be desired. (Three deer in the field across the way, a possum scurrying across the road, And the neighborhood dogs were friendly though I would guess they often sucker unwitting visitors into feeding them based on their follow you around nature.) So if you came here for fun and excitement your doomed but if peace and relaxation is what you are looking for it doesn't get more peaceful.P.S. the room was super super super clean! I don't know who does housekeeping, but they need a raise.Food & drinks: I would tell you to check out the restaurant down the road (like you have any other choice it's the only game in town lolololol)

Just spent 4 restful days here this past week. The inn keepers and their staff were great. Lovely rooms and common areas. Loved my quiet mornings sitting on the porch and my evening strolls around Helvitia and listening to the stream at night. Lunch and dinner at the Hutte house each day was such a treat.♥️Kathy

Charming inn! I'm staying here on my own in one room and amenities are perfect! This would be a great place for a large family or group of friends to enjoy the shared spaces and full kitchen together!

Closed on Sunday at 6:00 Labor Day Weekend, but I am certain it is top notch as is Helvetia and surroundings.
