About the host
Hosted by Donald Apelian
We are Ruben and Judy. Both New Yorkers, we moved to Asheville in ’98 to escape the brutal winters and busy lifestyle. As it turns out, the move went smashingly, but getting away from our busy lifestyle… not so much! Since 2002 we have managed to acquire 11 vacation rentals and open four busy bakery and cafes!
Feeding people and entertaining is one of our joys since the New York days, so all chalet guests will receive fresh-baked goodies and a gift certificate to Well-Bred Bakery & Café upon arrival. Well-Bred Luxury Lodgings f/k/a Asheville Swiss Chalets, is founded on a belief in great hospitality – we want to give people a memorable home-away-from-home experience while visiting Western North Carolina.
Being a cook myself, I wanted to make sure our guests have a fully stocked kitchen—so you’ll have access to great quality pots and pans, utensils, plus a fully stocked pantry. And don’t worry about leaving behind your four-legged family members. We see to it that yours are well provided for!

What makes this property unique
All of our vacation rentals are created for pets and their people!
There is a big difference between allowing pets in a vacation rental and designing a rental specifically with your four-legged friends in mind. At Well-Bred Luxury Lodgings f/k/a Asheville Swiss Chalets, we carefully consider everything that even the most particular pup could want. These features include pet blankets, tasty doggie treats, and safe outdoor play areas.
But don’t worry; we also have an exceptional stay designed with you in mind. Each rental is conveniently located in the Asheville or Weaverville area and includes all the modern conveniences, comfort, as well as outstanding guest service.
