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.

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 scarce so please be aware of this. We are having our parking space redone so temporary parking is being utilized. If you have a smaller vehicle please bring it. Two small spaces.

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.

Nice Mountain Cottage

The property was very nice, and as described. Communication and assistance was quick when needed. It was a quick drive to downtown, the arts district, or waterfall hikes. We enjoyed our stay and would come back.

Tricky Turns!

This is the trickiest mountain road I’ve ever driven. 180° turns that go up at 90° angles, but the chalet is worth the drive. The only thing it needs is comfortable living room furniture. Dealing with Darlene is a delight. Highly recommend.

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.

Convenient location, full amenities

The chalet is conveniently located in Asheville, but feels like you’re in the country! The home was clean and all amenities were provided. The appliances are updated and we had everything we needed. The roads leading up to the home are one lane with tight curves - I’d definitely recommend arriving in daylight. We had a great time and would stay here again!

great accom

the house was almost exactly as stated. although ways and google map had a hard time pinpointing the exact location we found it after the second pass. the house shows as maroon colored when actually it has a gray exterior. comfy, clean and interior exactly as shown. we had a wonderful stay and downtown is so very close. two thumbs up.

Asheville Chalet

Excellent property. Comfortable and convenient. 2 extremely small points. Refrigerator doesn’t have an ice maker, so if you are going to need very much ice, bring a bag of ice. The washer and dryer are in a building across the street (20 feet away). Would definitely stay there again!

Great location and very clean

Very clean and did feel like living in tree tops! Quiet neighborhood; could hear some road noise below the mountain. King bed was comfortable with abundant pillows! We enjoyed The Hound patio bar at end of street; nice spot for a bottle of wine/appetizer. Location is great for restaurants and driving to Blue Ridge.The fridge is not full size (eat out-so many great restaurants) and the hall bath is cruise-ship small. Areas to improve: sofa so soft and unsupportive you feel like you are sitting on the floor; black out curtains needed for smaller bedroom as street light is too bright shining right through window shade; and ice cube trays are cracked and need to be replaced.

Difficult to Get To

The property was clean and well equipped, however it is not the easiest location to get to. Narrow winding road that is 2 way traffic with only room for one vehicle. I had to back up to a wider portion of the road twice because I met an oncoming car coming downhill. Certainly arrive in daylight, not darkness. Previous renter had left a small bag of trash in container outside front door and there are definitely bears in the area. We live in the mountains and are very accustomed to wild bears, but these have been acclimated to humans and do not leave easily. Trash dump is about 100 ft. from house and they were there every night. Be cautious and carry a spotlight at night if walking your dog. Luckily I spotted the trash outside of the front door when we first arrived, but according to a neighbor, that happens quite often so check it when arriving. Would not stay here again.

A cozy chalet close to downtown

Overall the Matterhorn Chalet is a wonderful place for a couple, family with 1-2 children, or two friends (possibly even two couples). The home is very cozy with a working fireplace and nice views from its perch on the hillside. The internet is "OK" in terms of speed, though we had trouble with the cable (we didn't exactly need it so we didn't call). The home itself is conveniently located near groceries, attractions and the like; and it has everything you need for your stay. Please note it is a bit tricky getting into the house/subdivision, so pay close attention as you head uphill. As a final note: while the house is dog friendly, finding space to walk dogs is challenging, and would be difficult for picky pups. However, this is VERY common with many rentals in Asheville. If you dogs needs a yard or green space consider something on flat land. Otherwise, Haw Creek Park is very close a great for letting your dogs stretch their legs.

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!
