About this property

Treetop Chalet-4 Mins to DT AVL, 10 Mins to Blue Ridge Parkway, Dog Friendly, FP

Matterhorn Chalet is a spacious luxury chalet nestled in the treetops in downtown Asheville. Enjoy the updated main bathroom and the fabulous all-new European-influenced kitchen makeover.

The owners have spared no expense in making this the perfect vacation home right in the middle of Asheville.

The open floor plan is perfect for small gatherings, the many windows give an outside treetop feel to the living space, and you can cozy up to your gas fireplace in the living room.

Relax, rejuvenate, and experience downtown! Gaze at the mountains from the gated porch and stroll through the quiet neighborhood with your dog.

Enjoy a special treat and reserve this one-of-a-kind chalet in downtown Asheville.

NOTE
THIS IS A NON-SMOKING/VAPING HOME.

No grill at this home.

This property is 1.3 miles from the heart of downtown, but we would recommend transportation since it's not walk-friendly.

ALL mountain roads can be steep and dark at times. They may be daunting to an inexperienced mountain driver. The Matterhorn Chalet is located in a quiet mountain subdivision on a circular one-lane road.

Although it's a short road with street lights, it is tight, steep, and curvy. Please try to plan your arrival during the daytime if you are intimidated by mountain roads.

WINTER
Please note that we do experience snow on occasion. The HOA does a great job of keeping the roads scraped, but they only scrape after the snow ends. So, please be aware of the weather and know that there is the potential for snowy weather. Please plan accordingly.

PARKING AND MOUNTAIN ROADS
Parking space is limited to two vehicles. You can park in the area next to the house walkway or along the fence. Pull the front end of the car into the spots.

The mountain roads are sometimes steep and sometimes curvy. The neighborhood roads are narrow and curvy, so please use extra precautions when driving through there.

No smoking, vaping, or candles.

Must be at least 25 years old to reserve this property.

DOG RULES
A dog fee applies for ONE dog, plus all applicable taxes. Maximum of ONE dog with prior approval. Dogs under 50 lbs. The size and breed of your dog are needed to register them. Please note that you are bringing your dog when making your reservation.

1. No puppies - Dog must be at least ONE YEAR OLD
2. No attack or aggressive breeds of dogs are allowed
3. Must have all shots and flea treatments that are up to date
4. Must always be on a leash and under the control of the owner
5. Must NOT sleep on beds, couches, or chairs
6. You must clean up after your dog and do not flush poop down the toilet
7. A dog fee will be charged for the extra cleaning required
8. Sorry, no cats

We love dogs, and we are happy to host your well-behaved dog.

You should also note that this property is managed by a local, sustainable, and seasoned vacation rental team with 20+ years of Five-Star reviews.

We provide support and plenty of information before your arrival. We are available during your stay to help out if needed because you are not just booking a home to stay in, but a southern mountain hospitality experience.

Thank you for considering staying with us!

We enjoyed our stay with our older dog. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. It was very sad to witness an orange body bag removed from the Chalet below while looking out at the beautiful mountain views. The ceiling fans are a little low for taller people. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

stayed here with my mom on our annual fall trip. the area was beautiful at this time of year, and we loved the house, which was very well-appointed with lots of extra toilet paper, trash bags, and dish soap. i particularly appreciated the grab bars in the bathtub. additionally, the instruction packet the hosts emailed me before our arrival was very helpful in figuring out how to get to the house, as my gps had a bit of trouble distinguishing the small mountain roads. overall, i highly recommend this place, and would definitely stay here again!

Fun location where you feel that you are in a tree house! We enjoyed Asheville shops (Trackside Galleries), waterfall hikes (Catawba), and dining (Lobster Trap). Easy entry to chalet. Lovely kitchen. Lovely updated kitchen, but the rest in need of a refresh and deep cleaning.

Homey and Convenient

We loved our stay. The location is incredibly convenient. You’re up on top of a mountain but 5 minutes to downtown. Lots of trees and wildlife (yes, we did see the bears - a mama and 3 cubs!) Also good wifi and enough space to spread out. I would definitely choose this house again. It was a great fit for our family.

About the host

Hosted by Darlene Witham or Ron Mashburn

Host profile image
Bob and Lynn are from the Blue Grass state of Kentucky. They have visited Asheville for over thirty years. They fell in love with Asheville upon their very first visit.

They always stayed at the same home - Lucerne Chalet. So, when the owner decided to retire and sell the home Bob and Lynn rushed to purchase it.

We at WNC Realty & Rentals were very fortunate to be asked to manage this home as well as the Matterhorn Chalet (also listed here on Vrbo) for them.

Why they chose this property

After many years of owning various homes at the coast Bob and Lynn jumped at the chance to purchase their dream homes - Lucerne and Matterhorn Chalets. They visit Asheville four or five times a year and they say they are sad to have to leave.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location.... Matterhorn Chalet lets you know that you're safely tucked away in the mountains but you're only a few minutes from everything that downtown Asheville has to offer. The best of both worlds!
