Mountain Chalet with Beautiful Views, Pet Friendly, 6 Bdrms, 2 kings

Please read the entire review. The house itself is very comfortable, especially for large groups. Plenty of beds, places to sit, places to eat, plenty of glasses, dishes, towels, etc. The house is pet friendly, but not friendly for pet walking, there is not a lot of space next to the actual house to let your dog go potty. If you go down the driveway, there are places to walk your dog. The driveway is an experience, an experience I'm glad is over - it is a white knuckler. The hot tub is mediocre at best, the tub will get hot, jets are not the best and it comes with chores if you stay over four days and are using the hot tub. Speaking of chores, the owner requests running the dishwasher, starting a load of laundry and stripping the beds before you leave - is this an unfair request, no, but why are we charged a cleaning fee if we are part of the cleaning crew? The impression given is if you bypass the check out rules you may be charged extra. The owner provides a lot of helpful information prior to check in, please read it, especially regarding light switches. This review may sound negative, but it shouldn't be taken that way. House itself - great - lived in, a bit worn, but very comfortable. Location for trips to Black Mountain - close, Ashville, Brevard - about 45 minutes. Our main disappointment - house was still being cleaned until 5:15pm. Driveway was terrible. Garage door broken (by a bear a month prior to our arrival), not a lot of space to walk dogs.

This home was perfect for our multi-family group! The view was gorgeous! The bonus loft space was perfect for two of our teens to sleep in, just note that the ceiling is sloped and it can get warm up there and not any privacy! A great space regardless. We enjoyed the hot tub too! Having two living rooms and kitchens, with our size group, was very helpful for spreading out! The two dining tables were perfect, not only for meals but games! There were plenty of dishes, cookware, towels, blankets, bedding and pillows for all! All beds were comfortable. The only thing that was challenging was the super steep long driveway! The owner gave us warning about it, but it was steeper than any of us imagined! You need to put your vehicle into a low gear and go up confidently or your tires may spin trying to get up the first part like several of our vehicles experienced (it had also rained and the roads were wet). Also, be sure to turn your cars around at the top and go down the driveway forwards. There are places to park on the way to the house that the host told us about if you have guests whose cars would struggle. You’d need someone to pick you and your things up and drive you up the driveway if you park away from the house though. An overall lovely stay, fast communication with the host, clean and comfortable home!

All good! Great place!

The host was extremely responsive and helped answer all of our questions immediately.

We met up for Thanksgiving and had a great time. Lots to do around the area. Tons of stuff within a 30 min. drive.

Plenty of space for our church group of 17, we were so blessed to be able to stay here and get away to black mountain! Thank you Kelley!

We had a great stay! The house is gorgeous and it was so nice relaxing on the porch with coffee and the view of the monutains or by the fireplace in the evening. Our pups loved the house too and being cozy by the fire. Great location and only 5 minutes to everything in Black Mountain and 20minutes to downtown Asheville.

Beautiful home, well maintained, stocked for an army and plenty of space to spread out and the right space to be together...close to town...close to mountains...perfect for a 3-generation family trip. The host was a great communicator and provided all the details we needed.

Awesome house very clean

Property was not in best condition and not well kept. There were few basic items, such as soap, shampoo, garbage bags, etc. Location and house size were good for our group.

Driveway is very sloped. My van’s wheels skied. It would be a little scary for a new driver. Apple map helped me to drive in/out from the property. Overall, great place to stay .

The property was beautiful and I would definitely rent it again. I would also tell other people about this property

Property and location are beautiful.The house is very well stocked- we had everything we could possibly need plus some. The owner was very easy to communicate with and thorough in the information she provides. Our whole group had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay, and the home fit our needs perfectly.My family had done their due diligence regarding the area and mountain drive. We were able to venture out and visit nearby towns and attractions as well as hike the local mountain trails and rivers. We were all excited to see mama bears and their cubs, dear, turkeys and their baby poults, lots of cardinals, blue birds and squirrels.We enjoyed the afternoon thunderstorms and rain showers

We actually stayed at their other property because beyond the owner's control, tepair of the driveway was delayed. My review is of their property that has a pool table. Overall the place we stayed is nice with plenty of space and nice amenities. There are quite a few places where it shows some wear and tear that could use attention, but it was very clean, spacious and had gorgeous views all day. The showers are narrow and not well suited to larger folks. If you have more than a few cars, as mentioned, will need to work out parking. Very steep driveway. If you arrive after dark be aware it is hard to see the house signs in the neighborhood, but the speed limit is low anyway. Neighborhood was very quiet and good for a peaceful getaway. Our group was there to help with home repair from Helene. Good lacation to everything.

The Chalet was perfect for our family to gather and spend quality time together. The atmosphere was very cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to create wonderful meals and memories! I especially liked the details that went into everything about this space. I have found that most places that sleep over 10 don’t have enough seating but this place sure did. It worked perfectly for us. I totally recommend this chalet for elating and memory making family vacations!!

Our son’s wedding in Marion brought family together from California, Indiana, Seattle, and Canada. We found this home to fit our group of 13. The spacious dining area and multiple living room spaces were great for watching movies, playing games and having meals together. If we had more time, we would have used the hot tub! The host is very responsive, and we appreciated Kelley’s communication. Wonderful stay that we will always remember!

We have taken the opportunity to bring our families together in the past. This year we settled on Black Mountain area. Easily the most relaxing thus far. The Chalet was clean and well stocked. Kelley was extremely helpful and responsive. Sonya was awesome to work with as well.

Lawrence Tech Men’s Lacrosse traveled south during Spring Break to play games against opponents in Georgia and North Carolina. The property was exactly what we were looking for! Plenty of bed space and large rooms to gather in. Checking in and out was a breeze and the property manager, Kelley, communicated everything we needed to know. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful time with a gorgeous mountain view. The kitchen was well stocked and the furnishings were very comfortable.

We (a party of 14, ages ranging from 10 to 86 years old) enjoyed our NYE stay on Black Mountain. Place was super clean and so roomy! Kitchens had everything we needed. Kelley was a great host and answered all our questions before and while we were there! My parents are still talking about how perfect the house was! I will say the driveway is very steep. Most of the vehicles were unable to make the climb up the drive. Luckily the road isn't busy so we parked below and walked up. Unfortunately tho a couple of our older family members stayed in the home most of the time because of the challenges of climbing it. Hot tub was enjoyed but the deck encompasses it had splintered wood so careful your feet. We even had a nice snow storm the day before we left. Beautiful but drive down and out the next day was a little daunting! Thanks Kelley for some awesome family memories!

The property was set in a beautiful location and was the perfect place to celebrate a special family birthday! Thoughtful appointments throughout including multiple appliances making it a to cook meals for lots of folks! great place Excellent proximity to popular sights! We loved our stay and appreciated the quick communication by the host! We were also grateful that our host communicating clearly about the devastation caused by hurricane Helene allowing us to make an informed decision! in the end we were grateful for to be able to support tourism in a much needed area and all the townspeople were incredibly grateful that we have continued on with our trip! The driveway is steep but that information was also well stated before we booked!

Kelley was very helpful and kept us informed following Hurricane Helene. Although the devastation suffered in the area was painfully apparent, the home was a nice retreat. It is convenient to Asheville and we took advantage of its proximity.Thank you,Kelley!

Had a great time at Kelly’s house! It was clean and well appointed. Our family had a wonderful stay. She was easy to get ahold of and very easy to work with. She was very helpful! Would definitely go back and stay again!

We had a blast the house was setup perfect we had plenty of room and were able to enjoy nature. Loved it

Wonderful property with spacious rooms great for larger groups.

I unfortunately last minute was not able to go but my husband and son were able to enjoy the week with his parents and celebrate them! From what i was told the house could easily sleep way more than the 8.5 that were there! Communication with Kelley was easy and efficient. The house was a perfect location to Asheville and all the state parks fire hiking and outdoors!! Lots of bears to be seen in the neighborhood so they're out there in numbers to be in awe of from a safe distance!! Lots of mommas with their cubs. Definitely recommend this host and this location! Thank you for allowing my family to just be with one another in a peaceful environment. Fin what i was told we

The property is gorgeous as are the surrounding areas. It was immaculate and so very well stocked. Instructions for check in and check out were very clear. And, so were the “if you see a bear” checklist. Views from the house were breathtaking. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Our family made precious memories so thank you, Kelly!
