There is also
https://switzerlandinn.com/ The Switzerland Inn is located at the intersection of NC 226A and the Blue Ridge Parkway at the Little Switzerland exit MM 334. It is right at Little Switzerland near the post office and the Little Switzerland Cafe.
The Switzerland Inn is a motorcycle friendly motel and even has one building designated as for motorcyclists located behind the tennis courts. You can actually ride your bike on a walkway back to this building and park it under cover. These MC Rooms share bathroom facilities. I was unable to negotiate any special rates at the Switzerland Inn so the rate will be what you can negotiate. The Switzerland Inn is approximately 4 miles down NC 226A from the Big Lynn Lodge.
Hoyte the Big Lynn Lodge owner says that if you stay at either of these facilities he will see that you can get a ride to and from so that you can enjoy an adult beverage if you so desire. Note: The Big Lynn Lodge has some beer to sell by the drink but if you desire a certain beverage you should BYOB!
It looks like I will have another surprise for all attendees... stay tuned!
