About this property

🌄Lucerne Chalet - Treetop Mountain Views In Downtown AVL, FP, Dog Friendly🐕‍🦺

Lucerne Chalet is one of our more spacious downtown Asheville chalets. It has two bedrooms, 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.

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

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.

a few days in Asheville

Everything charming and overall comfortable. Limited TV station access that didn't match up with the printed channel listings provided - a small inconvenience. Would book there again.

Lucerne Chalet was a perfect place for our Asheville visit. It is nicely appointed and was spotless. It is centrally located providing easy access to all of AVL! We highly recommend it. We will definitely stay there again!

Fabulous stay in Asheville

We thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay at the Lucerne Chalet. The property is exactly as described and more! The house is located very close to all that Asheville has to offer, but is nestled in the mountainside. The house is clean and comfortable, and the kitchen included all the amenities that we needed for our stay. They even left out bowls for our dog's food and water. So thoughtful! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Darlene Witham or Ron Mashburn

Bob and Lynn are from the Blue Grass state of Kentucky. They have visited Asheville for over thirty years. They fell in love with Asheville upon their very first visit.

They always stayed at the same home - Lucerne Chalet. So, when the owner decided to retire and sell the home Bob and Lynn rushed to purchase it.

We at WNC Realty & Rentals were very fortunate to be asked to manage this home as well as the Matterhorn Chalet (also listed here on Vrbo) for them.

Why they chose this property

After many years of owning various homes at the coast, Bob and Lynn jumped at the chance to purchase their dream homes - Lucerne and Matterhorn Chalets. They visit Asheville four or five times a year and they say they are sad to have to leave.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location.... Lucerne feels like you're safely tucked away in the mountains but you're only a few minutes from everything that downtown Asheville has to offer. The best of both worlds!
