The Chalet was perfect for my husband and I. It was in a great location. Close to all the hiking attractions and restaurants. It was very quiet. We spent all day exploring and it was nice to come back to a cozy cottage, where we could relax.

Such a cute chalet! Loved the decorations and style. Loved the little downstairs area too, even though we didn’t need to use it. Maybe next time we’ll bring our kids. Upstairs was the perfect size for our Anniversary getaway. Just wish we had time to stay longer. Thanks for the hospitality, Brandi!

We had a very relaxing stay. The chalet was perfect for two people. It was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the deck and the swing overlooking the beautiful western NC mountains. Communication with the host was great.
We loved being surrounded by the trees.
Perfect place for a cup of coffee!

Awesome place!

Loved, loved, loved staying here. Extremely clean and updated! Communication was easy. I was worried that the only place it had air conditioning was the bedroom, but you totally didn’t need it. It was so nice and cool. Can’t wait to go back.
