This was our 2nd trip to the Joy Chalet. It was just as great as the last time. Every time we are able to get away, it is usually at the end of the "stressful times". And the Chalet is just what the doctor ordered. The relaxed pace was made to order for us. Days spent sleeping in, lounging around, or soaking in the hot tub. Nights brought great dinners in asheville. The decor adds to the romance of the Chalet. Everything in its place & nothing left to chance. Thanks for making it perfect!

From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. The chalet was very well appointed and extremely clean. Everything anyone could possibly need was provided. Very convenient to major highways and all the attractions. Although close to the airport it felt secluded with trees everywhere and the backyard led to a wooded area with a lovely path to a stream and a swing hanging from the trees. The hot tub was great. I loved staying so much that I extended my stay for 2 more days. I took my dog with me and the area is so dog friendly. I took him just about everywhere I went. I am definitely going to return to the Joy Chalet and I highly recommend staying there; you won't be disappointed.

Look no more!!! This is the best little chalet that I've ever stayed in. It is so clean and a very relaxing environment. Everything is well instructed so there are no questions or lost time in trying to figure out how anything works. One of my favorite things about this chalet is the Fireplace. The logs look and feel so real but you just touch a button to light and do the same to turn it off. Another thing I like is the massage chair. This was so soothing after a day of touring and hiking trails. Then, the hot tub and jacuzzi are both nice and felt so good after a long day. This chalet is very clean and the linens are great. The towels are soft and just the right thickness. The bed is very comfortable and the sheets are as well. There are other chalets around but the way it sits among others, it's very private. We didn't hear or barely see anyone the entire time we were there. I loved the location. It's very close to everything but yet far enough away that you felt like you were secluded from everything. Our main goal was to tour the Parkway. It was so beautiful this time of year. We toured all the way to Virginia before turning around and heading back to our cabin. Stephanie and Robert are wonderful people to rent from. The little things that they have done to this home are wonderful. The home is decorated beautifully and all of the appliances are very up to date. Time we walked in the door, I knew I had made a great choice of where my husband and I were going to spend our vacation! We both loved it and plan to be back! Thanks Stephanie and Robert! - Natchez, MS

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed at 9-day stay at the Joy Chalet. While we toured that area of NC, we spent a fair amount of time in the chalet. We found it to have everything we needed (and lots more) in a home away from home. We loved the hot tub, and it was clean and ready to go when we arrived. It stayed that way during our entire visit -- always ready. I found it difficult to get my husband out of the massage chair, and admittedly it is incredible. We expected we might not sleep well, as the bed would be strange to us; however, we found the bed to be absolutely divine. We slept well each and every night we were there. You will love the sheets! You'll also love the walk through the woods down to the creek where you will find a double wooden swing hanging from a tree at the edge of the creek. We saw lots of wild turkeys throughout the asheville/Hendersonville/Flat Rock areas, and we even saw some strolling across the path that leads from the chalet to the creek. We felt very safe and secure in the Joy Chalet. All TVs worked well and wi-fi was an added bonus. Stephanie called to make sure we had settled in and found everything to be satisfactory. She would have been available to us at the drop of a hat, should we have needed her. But, the Joy Chalet met our every need from the beginning of our stay through our last day there. We were able to have our Rottweiler and Coton de Tulear with us, and we learned the asheville area is very pet friendly. One day while walking through the neighborhood, a sheriff's deputy stopped his car to offer us biscuits for our dogs. We are seriously contemplating relocating to that area within the next couple of years. - Tanya & Les, Warsaw, IN

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Joy Chalet. Extremely convenient to everywhere (Biltmore, WNC Farmers Market, downtown asheville, Blue Ridge Pkwy, I could go on and on). The Chalet itself is extremely well equipped. I consider myself a better than average cook and they had all the supplies to ensure that I could make any meal. Spices in the cabinet and great "gadgets". Living room was comfortable and cozy and the sleeping loft was outstanding - comfortable bed and linens and quiet enough to take a nap while your spouse caught the game on tv. The hot tub on the screen enclosed patio was delightful and the whole back area is pretty much private. There was a nice swing down the path near a creek as well. The owners have thought of every need for us to enjoy our stay. We can't wait to come back!

"Everything you need, and then some!" We were extremely pleased with our stay at Joy Chalet. Everything we could have asked for was provided, including restaurant recommendations, explicit directions on how to use everything in the house, a well-stocked kitchen, even a massage chair to use after those hikes in the mountains, just to name a few. Check-in was a breeze, and the owners have gone out of their way to make each renter feel right at home. We loved it!!!

"Fantastic!!!" The Joy Chalet was exactly what we were looking for - off the beaten path, but not too far, privacy, luxurious - yet comfortable, completely furnished - also stocked with books, movies, games, folder with: chalet instructions, directions, restaurant menus, places to see, grocery saver shopping card, etc... All of our needs were met and expectations exceeded. From my first inquiry through checking out, we had fantastic service. We felt very pampered, and honestly, did not want to leave.

We stayed at the Joy Chalet just before Christmas and it more than met our expectations. It was cozy, inviting, and warm and met every need we could think of. We enjoyed the movie selection, the fire place, and the kitchen as well as the hot tub. The bed was very comfortable and everything was extremely clean - something we enjoyed very much as we have not always had the same experience. Asheville is beautiful and I always enjoy coming back. The location was excellent as well. Many of the cabins in the area are over a half hour away from downtown. The proprietors of the Joy Chalet had thought of everything. Even if we had not been there before, there was information available for what the town had to offer including coupons and discount cards for the grocery store! It was a wonderful experience! Wish we had more time there!

My wife Lauren and I had a great time in the Asheville area. Staying at the Joy Chalet was wonderfully convenient to both the Dupont State Park and Biltmore House which were everything we expected. Thank you so much for all the special touches you add to make the chalet so cozy and comfortable. I am seriously considering purchasing one of those massage chairs. I felt especially spoiled. Thanks again. Chris

What a wonderful place to relax! It was absolutely perfect! The home was beautifully decorated and definitely made you feel as though you were in your own home. Stephanie and Robert are the perfect hosts, from the guest book with things to see and do, places to go and even a grocery savings card. You don't find these amenities in hotels or condos. Simply the best!!! I would recommend to anybody to stay at homes owned by Stephanie and Robert, you won't be sorry, you will be spoiled!!!
