Located within the private, gated community of Gateway Mountain on just over 8 acres, gorgeous scenery, and unparalleled privacy abound at A Celestial Chalet. The wrap-around deck (complete with an outdoor dining table for 4 and a Weber grill) and natural rock platform create no shortage of cozy spots to stargaze and take in the breathtaking long-range views of Mt. Mitchell and Lake George. Various seating can also be found along the short private walking paths around the chalet.

On the main level, you'll find all-new natural acacia hardwood flooring, an upscale living room complete with designer Restoration Hardware furniture, stunning views from every window, and a well-equipped kitchen complete with all-new stainless steel appliances, a range with an air fryer option, and a coffee bar area sweetly beckoning to the chef in your group. The fully screened-in porch, accessed from the dining area, maximizes outdoor enjoyment with a gas fire table and ample seating for up to 5. Also on the main level are two bedrooms; one with a queen-sized bed (and a king-size inflatable bed in the closet) and one with an out-of-this-world king bed. The full bathroom, complete with a new glass-enclosed waterfall shower, toilet with heated seat and bidet, and luxurious heated floors, can be accessed from the hallway.

Upstairs is a traditional open loft with a dedicated workspace, reading nook, and two mammoth LoveSac bean bags to immerse in the year-round views of the mountain vista through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Also in the loft is a king-size bed and en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, double vanity, luxurious heated floors, and a stackable washer and dryer. There is also a mini split air conditioning unit to ensure comfort year-round. After watching the sun dip below the tree-lined mountaintops, pull the curtains gently closed to create a more private space.

Continue to the lower level for the heart of entertainment! Here, you'll find a projector with a 120 screen, elevated recliners, and a cozy daybed with a Twin bed and Twin trundle that will make your favorite family movie come to life. Step outside onto the hot tub entertainment area under bistro-style lighting after a day of exploring, lounge in the Adirondack glider chairs around the newly-added outdoor fire table, prepare a delicious pizza in the new gas-powered Ooni Koda 16 pizza oven, lounge in the suspended hammock overlooking the mountains, or wander through the magical fairy gardens around the property. Not ready to turn in for the night The shuffleboard table and Hook Ring Toss may inspire some friendly competition.

A stunning and modern mountain getaway that would seem too other-worldly to imagine, A Celestial Chalet leaves no mountain peak unseen and no star unnamed!

Please note: This house is dog-friendly, with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two). Sorry, this home is not cat-friendly due to common allergies. This home now offers fiber optic internet with speeds up to 1 GB and a Verizon network extender to assist with better cell phone coverage (i.e., boosts signal to full bars of LTE). There is also an E911 system if a phone signal is unavailable. The scenic journey to the house where gorgeous views await is steep and curvy, yet paved with a small section of gravel before the incline begins. To provide an inviting and grand entrance for guests traveling to the house in the twilight hours, there are thoughtfully arranged landscape lights illuminating the house sign, driveway, and walking paths.

No RVs, boat trailers, camping trailers, or trailers of any kind are permitted in the Gateway Mountain Community, and no parking is allowed on roadways or at gate entrances. As of May 2026, Lake George is closed until further notice and off limits to boating, swimming, fishing, and pet use.

This home offers a 22 kW Generac whole home generator that is also connected to the hot tub, so your vacation won't be interrupted in the unlikely event of a power outage. The home also offers two air purifier units to keep you enjoying that fresh mountain air inside and out!

    A Celestial Chalet was our destination for our 6 Year Anniversary Getaway. I did the planning as a surprise for my husband as he loves the mountains. He had not seen the property until we arrived. He was absolutely AMAZED at the view when we arrived. The mountain view is the best we have ever experienced. The house is absolutely beautiful with all the amenities you can imagine. It was one of the most peaceful places we have ever experienced. It was cloudy the entire weekend so we did not get the opportunity to star-gaze but we plan to come back in hopes of having that experience. We highly recommend this property! However, be aware that the drive up to the house is quiet a journey and can be a bit scary with very steep inclines and switch backs on a narrow road. It was a challenge for our Honda Accord. Thankfully there was information in the book at the house that provided a different route to the Main Gate as a choice for departure which was much easier. I would suggest that you request directions to the Main Gate for your arrival instead of the Sally Gap Gate if you don't have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The Main Gate route is a little longer but much easier. We will be back to this property! It was a great weekend!

    Staying here to just take in the amazing views is well worth it. Definitely quite the trip getting up the mountain and around. Has awesome waterfall close too. Would definitely go back again.

    The views from this cabin are truly amazing! The proximity to Asheville is great, with lots of privacy in a quiet gated community. The drive to the top was exciting and worth it! Maybe plan to arrive before dark & we would probably drive our 4-wheel drive if we return during winter. We loved the attention to detail… comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen, welcome gift bag, star light pendants, paint scheme, cleanliness, soft towels, big sofas, games for kids, huge bean bag. The theater room was fun. We were AMAZED at all the stars! Did not know that people come from all over the US because this mountain is one of the best places to see stars. In summer, you can see Milky Way with bare eyes!
