Come to Asheville! Treetop Mountain Views In Downtown AVL - FP, Dog Friendly!

Lucerne Chalet is one of our more spacious downtown Asheville chalets. It has two bedrooms, and one and a half bathrooms, and is conveniently located just FIVE minutes to eclectic downtown Asheville, the South Slope, the River Arts District, the Blue Ridge Parkway, New Belgium Brewery, the Biltmore Estate, and much more.

Nestled in the treetops, you can gaze at the mountains from the gated porch and stroll through the quiet neighborhood with your dog. Cozy up to the gas fireplace in the living room.​

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

No grill at the house.

ALL mountain roads can be steep and dark at times. They may be daunting to an inexperienced mountain driver. The Lucerne 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.

No smoking, vaping, or candles.

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

DOG RULES
A dog fee applies, plus all applicable taxes. 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!

The chalet was in a great location for getting around Asheville! The road is a bit tricky the first time getting to the chalet, but once you know which turns to make, a piece of cake! Sitting out on the porch at night and in the morning was very relaxing and a great way to start and end the day!

Nice chalet

A little glitch with the entry code… didn’t receive any notice of how to avoid getting locked out if you didn’t set the keypad yk unlock. Other than that our stay was just fine. Nice chalet with nice views of the sunrise coming over the mountains in the morning. Good job!

Great Place & Location!

We thoroughly enjoyed this place! It is located on a mountain around other chalets, and it feels woodsy, yet, everything in Asheville is minutes away. I was involved in a conference at the downtown Embassy Suites and was there every morning in 10 minutes or less. Likewise the party places around Asheville were all minutes away. The house is well-equipped and the manager was readily accessible. Great place!

Great house and location

This house was cozy and comfortable. Great for our family of four. Convenient to downtown. Though if you have a big truck, bike rack and 4 bikes the driveway/neighborhood is a little difficult to navigate (doable but difficult). :)

Wonderful mountain retreat

This is a wonderful place to stay. I've stayed in a lot of rentals and this one is very well-thought out and mindful. If I had a need (a certain kind of pot, an extra towel, a blanket...) I just had to look around to find it. You can tell the owners care about their guests. We enjoyed our stay so much and we're grateful for all the care that went into the place.

Property as Described

No surprises. The property was as described. Close to town, yet a true mountain experience. Very quite, serene, and private. Access by road to the property was not an issue. My son's Kia Soul, and my rear wheel drive Lexus, made it up and down the mountain with ease. The unit was spotless, with comfortable beds, and a modern kitchen. Large porch was nice for those picture perfect mornings. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Fantastic find!

This house was perfect for our weekend getaway to Asheville. We loved that it was so close to town yet felt like you were up in the mountains. It was easy to get to downtown and also wasn’t far to get on the parkway and hike. The description of the house and how to get to it was accurate. It had everything we needed and we will come back again.

Lovely chalet close to everything!

A great stay in a clean and charming little chalet tucked into the side of a mtn in town. Surrounded by gorgeous trees and other little chalets. It is not an easy drive up the winding roads so go slow and be smart. But it’s worth the effort. Stocked well with plenty of kitchen dishes and cooking supplies. Dish soap, paper towels, dish towels, sponges, shampoo, bath towels, extra blankets and pillows and lots of nightlights - nice touch! We enjoyed our coffee in the morning sitting in the rockers on the front porch. Ingles grocery store is nearby and downtown Asheville is very close too. Perfect location. The best part was when we left for dinner one evening and saw a mama black bear and her 5 large cubs meandering the hillside nearby. So exciting. Beds were comfortable. Would suggest mabe some better pillows in the primary bedroom. Dog bowls for our pup was a nice touch too! Thanks Ron & Darlene!

Chalet

The cabin was simply furnished but had everything we needed: stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, great location. We had a little trouble finding it, but, once we got used to the narrow roads, it was easy to get in and out. Our initial problem of not being able to use the pass code to get in was immediately rectified by the manager. I would definitely recommend it to others.
