We had a comfortable stay at the Shady Chalet, and were so thankful to find a place that could accommodate our large family of 6 so close to Appalachian! Melissa’s check-in/out instructions were clear and easy to follow. We had everything we needed to cook our meals, do laundry, and enjoy the outdoor spaces.

House literally had everything we needed! Down to a crockpot! Only issue we had was the beds- the downstairs one is hard as can be, really had a hard time sleeping on it, husbands back ended up hurting really bad. The kids room, the bunk beds were very wobbly and noisy and again the beds were very hard, kids ended up sleeping on the couches downstairs. Besides that the house was literally perfect. Would stay again if the beds were switched out! Thanks for the stay!

OUTSTANDING! This home has all the comforts you would hope for (comfy beds, nice showers, plenty of kitchen supplies, etc.), but it also has so many additional details like labeled remotes and lights, and extra items for little ones and dogs! The attention to detail in service of the guests is SUPERB!! Communication was immediate and always helpful. This was by far the easiest and smoothest check out we have ever had at a rental! Highly recommend staying here!!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Norman

Host profile image
I'm a NC native that has lived all over the state. I love beautiful North Carolina for its beaches, mountains, and piedmont areas. Everything you could want!
While in Blowing Rock, we enjoy hiking the trails, walking around downtown Blowing Rock, and going to games at Appalachian State. Then, I love to unwind just sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee (or two)!

Why they chose this property

We love it here at The Shady Chalet because of the peacefulness and natural surroundings. It's a place to get away and truly relax. However, a short drive is all that's needed to any fun activities we want. It's the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

The Shady Chalet offers relaxation and ease to your vacation. We offer a clean and comfortable home where you can make yourself at home. Enjoy your family while playing games, watching movies, roasting marshmallows, or running around the yard. Get away as a couple to peace and quiet. Visit with friends for a weekend of skiing and ice-skating. Our home is tucked away for serenity, but still close to activities when you feel adventurous.
