Epic Mountain Views! Cool Weekend Retreat • Pet Friendly Near Charlette
"The Chalet" is perched at the absolute peak of South Mountain. This secluded, premium 3-bedroom cabin offers breathtaking, long-range panoramic views of the Blue Ridge foothills. Perfect for family reunions, multi-generational vacations, or cool weekend getaways with friends, our home comfortably sleeps 8 guests in dedicated beds, with flexible sleeping arrangements to accommodate up to 12.
Best of all. Unlike most mountaintop destinations with this incredible view, our chalet features an enclosed back yard for small dog(s) and a mostly paved, steep but highly accessible mountain road that a standard city sedan can easily manage.
Why Groups & Families Love Our South Mountain Chalet:
The View, Minus the Stress: Enjoy towering, unobstructed rolling ridge-line views from the comfort of the living room, the hot tub, the fire pit, or the amazing third-level deck.
Pet and Animal Friendly: Enclosed back yard area for small dog(s), multiple hammock vantage points and bird and humming bird feeders.
Cozy Gathering Spaces: Gather the whole crew around the magnificent live-edge stone fireplace in the main living area for movie nights, board games, or deep conversations—all with amazing views right out the glass French doors.
Chef’s Kitchen for Big Meals: Fully equipped with a traditional drip coffee maker, premium pots, pans, and a slow cooker—ideal for prepping a hearty meal after a long day of exploring. The kitchen window provides a bright, sunny view of Lake James, Table Rock Mountain, and the Blue Ridge foothills.
Room to Spread Out: With three distinct bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and space for additional guests on pull-outs or air mattresses, everyone gets the perfect balance of community and privacy.
Outdoor Recreation Paradise: Located just miles from the pristine trails, waterfalls, and hiking loops of South Mountains State Park and the shopping, breweries, and vibrant local scene in downtown Morganton.
