Social Distance here with family! VIEWS, PRIVACY, DOG FRIENDLY, EASY ACCESS!

VIEWS, PRIVACY, CONVENIENCE, EASY ACCESS, HOT TUB, and an AMAZING DECK!!!

Enjoy the peace and privacy yet only 14 miles to Asheville's Pack Square!

Mountain Views from inside and out - crazy large deck and a wall of windows set the stage. The Asheville Country Chalet is unquestionably one of the most unique vacation rentals in the area.

The custom-built Passive Solar home was designed for both comfort and entertaining. It has generously sized rooms, amazing views, and seemingly endless areas to gather… and others to enjoy a little solitude and tranquility.

Designed as a Swiss Chalet, updates have maintained the original character and groovy rustic elegance while adding modern conveniences.

The Chalet is offered with 3 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms. Queen beds in all Bedrooms.

LOCATION: This property is 17 miles from Asheville’s city limits, approximately a 20-25 minute drive to the heart of downtown. It is easily accessed via Interstate 26 and Highway 197, with no curvy mountain roads to maneuver. There are also several cab companies that can transport groups to and from downtown.

It is 10 minutes to the charming historic towns of Weaverville and Mars Hill. It’s only a few miles to the Coleman Boundary area of the Pisgah National Forest, 3 miles to Navitat Canopy Adventures (quite possibly the best zipline company in the country), and the French Broad River is nearby: kayaking, rafting, tubing, and fly fishing are offered by several local Outfitters. Bent Creek recreation area in Asheville ranks among the top 10 Mountain Biking sites in the country!

Voted Beer City USA for 4 consecutive years, there is more than the fabulous craft breweries in Asheville. LaZoom Comedy Tours offer family-friendly as well as R-rated adult entertainment, the Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful any time of year, the Biltmore Estate is the largest privately-owned house in the United States and is open for tours year-round, the Arboretum and Botanical Gardens are lovely, and other recreational options are seemingly endless! Mix in Ashevilles cuisine, art, and music... you are not likely to find a quaint vacation destination with so much to offer!

Barnardsville chalet

This place was great got our family and dogs. It’s very clean and the space is well laid out. It’s a bit dated, but everything you’ll ever need is there. It’s 20 minutes from Asheville.

Could be great, with a little help.

Frank the handy guy was the saving grace. Upon our arrival, we found a beautiful house glittered with so many plants there was even one in the shower. Then we found dirty dishes in the dishwasher and on Saturday morning we learned there was no water. We had 7 girls and no water for even one shower. Also the heater on the front porch was empty and had no propane. Last, the whole house felt spot cleaned, not professionally cleaned and the owner wasn't willing to comp us for the mishaps of the house. Now for the good: Frank was helpful, the girls that used the hot tub loved it, the option for the additional apartment was excellent to add as needed and the views were amazing!

Very good scenic views, spacious, good value.

Good value for the money. The house is fine; lots of space. The basement area is a nice gathering place but had a stale smell like a lot of basements. The hot tub was very nice. The views are good. Everything in the house was in good working order and just about any kitchen utensil one could want was provided. Overall, our experience was a positive one and the owner and the caretaker were vets nice and attentive to anything we needed. It is likely that we will rent this property again in the future.

Fantastic Couples Getaway!

We loved our stay at the Chalet. The house is as described/pictured & we couldn't have asked for a better location or view. We couldn't get enough of the the night view of the stars from the hot tub (we live in a city so this was an awesome treat)! The house has a really chill, old-school vibe, and it feels like a lot of great times have happened there... our stay was no exception! Would absolutely stay here again!!

July in the Mountains!

Large rooms, rolling grounds, and privacy make this a wonderful home in the mountains. The inside is clean, with comfortable beds and comfortable linens and towels. Criticisms are few... there were some old cabinets which had been left outside near the garage, detracting from the overall impression. The kitchen cabinets are a little dated, and there is some outside paint and grounds maintenance that could use some sprucing up, Show stoppers? Not at all. It's a homey, comfortable place where your dogs and kids can run and play. It's got a lot of room to eat and entertain, inside and out. I would recommend to others.

AMAZING HOUSE & VIEWS

The Chalet was like a home away from home... large rooms, yet comfortable and inviting. The Kitchen was supplied with everything we needed, the Recreation Room had entertainment for the entire family, and the Deck was irresistible! Plenty of space for us to gather together, as well as to sneak away for private time. We'll definitely be back and will recommend it to friends!!!

The chalet is everything we were looking for. We had a group of 6 that wanted space and great views. This house had everything! easy to access, clean and great stars at night. It was hard to leave the porch.

great relaxing trip

There were 6 of us total, three couples. We had a great relaxing trip staying in the mountains. Lots of space in the home. It was close to Asheville so we were able to go downtown and tour the bars and shops. Plenty of kitchen space to cook a meal in the evening. Owner was very helpful - home was very clean! We would stay again.

AWESOME stay for our Bachelorette Trip!

I can't say enough good things about our stay at the Chalet. This is a beautiful property inside and out, serene beautiful atmosphere and fantastic accommodations. The music was on throughout the house upon our arrival and walking into the house with the breathtaking mountain views was amazing! Every detail has been thought of...you have everything you need! We made great use of the hot tub and it is a nice one! Towels for the hot tub were in the basement ready for our use. Towels in the rooms for the showers. We were able to use the washer and dryer as well for our wet clothes when we got back from kayaking, too. This Chalet is just minutes from Navitat Zip Lining (HIGHLY recommend!) and it was so easy to get there. We went into town both nights to downtown Asheville. It's an easy drive to get there -30 minutes or less; not bad at all. The getaway from the city is DEFINITELY worth it to stay here! Our party of 6 was very comfortable. Comfortable beds and soft sheets! The master shower--uh-mazing! I would certainly stay here again. And the owner is very responsive to anything you need...just a text or phone call away! You have all details you need to get there well before your arrival time. Book it!

Xmas Jam Rental

More space then the four of us needed! Huge house, could use some updating but very laid back atmosphere and the porch was perfect! Easy to book and easy to find... Taxi will run you around 20 a person to downtown, we used Mr B's Transportation he can hold up to 6 people and great customer service! The hot tube was perfect for watching the meteor shower this weekend and with a great view of the hills... We would defiantly be renting again just have to bring more people!

Really Nice!

We stayed for 2 nights at the Chalet in early September for a bachelorette party; it was a great house, and everybody loved the hot tub and the beautiful house and grounds. Even the pull-out couch was very comfortable. We really enjoyed our time here, and it was close enough to downtown Asheville and hiking trails that it wasn't too long of a drive (maybe 20-30 minutes). The kitchen was pretty well stocked, which was a huge help because we made a lot of our meals there. Great house!

Amazing stay

We came to the Chalet for quick two night stay and did not want to leave. The house is so comfortable and the views are amazing. The owner was very accommodating and provided lots of great details on the house and the area. We will be back this Spring with our kids to go zip lining. Thanks again!!

Greenville Family Reunion

We had a excellent time at your NC property near Asheville for our family celebration of our Mom’s 90th birthday. The whole family loved the place. Our group of 12 prepared and ate all our meals there. No one wanted to leave. We enjoyed the deck the most, especially late at night when the millions of lightning bugs sparkled in the cool air. The house has a nice open, welcoming feeling. The hot tub was great, as was the massage chair. The weather was perfect and the view was fantastic. We were close enough to Asheville to go back and forth to the Percussion Festival to enjoy my younger son’s concerts also. We hope to return in the future.
