This property is 1.3 miles from the heart of downtown, but we would recommend transportation since it's not walk-friendly.
ALL mountain roads can be steep and dark at times. They may be daunting to an inexperienced mountain driver. The Matterhorn 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.
WINTER Please note that we do experience snow on occasion. The HOA does a great job of keeping the roads scraped, but they only scrape after the snow ends. So, please be aware of the weather and know that there is the potential for snowy weather. Please plan accordingly.
PARKING AND MOUNTAIN ROADS Parking space is limited to two vehicles. You can park in the area next to the house walkway or along the fence. Pull the front end of the car into the spots.
The mountain roads are sometimes steep and sometimes curvy. The neighborhood roads are narrow and curvy, so please use extra precautions when driving through there.
No smoking, vaping, or candles.
Must be at least 25 years old to reserve this property.

stayed here with my mom on our annual fall trip. the area was beautiful at this time of year, and we loved the house, which was very well-appointed with lots of extra toilet paper, trash bags, and dish soap. i particularly appreciated the grab bars in the bathtub. additionally, the instruction packet the hosts emailed me before our arrival was very helpful in figuring out how to get to the house, as my gps had a bit of trouble distinguishing the small mountain roads. overall, i highly recommend this place, and would definitely stay here again!

Fun location where you feel that you are in a tree house! We enjoyed Asheville shops (Trackside Galleries), waterfall hikes (Catawba), and dining (Lobster Trap). Easy entry to chalet. Lovely kitchen. Lovely updated kitchen, but the rest in need of a refresh and deep cleaning.
We stayed here with a couple friends for the weekend and it was perfect! Short Uber or Lyft to downtown and dog friendly. We would definitely stay again!
We rented the property for a three night Billy Strings concert tour stop. It was great to be so close to downtown but the feeling of being in the mountains! Home has everything we needed, it was quiet and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!
We loved our stay. The location is incredibly convenient. You’re up on top of a mountain but 5 minutes to downtown. Lots of trees and wildlife (yes, we did see the bears - a mama and 3 cubs!) Also good wifi and enough space to spread out.
I would definitely choose this house again. It was a great fit for our family.
Loved our stay! Details and instructions were exactly as listed. The heads up on the road to house was exactly as stated. No issues getting to it! House was calm and quiet surrounded by nature just what we were looking for. Already looking to plan our next trip.
It was nice , the final leg of the road up is an adventure late night. Quiet little quaint neighorhood. 2 miles to downtown but feels like you are way out of town.
Nice.
the house was almost exactly as stated. although ways and google map had a hard time pinpointing the exact location we found it after the second pass. the house shows as maroon colored when actually it has a gray exterior. comfy, clean and interior exactly as shown. we had a wonderful stay and downtown is so very close. two thumbs up.
Excellent property. Comfortable and convenient. 2 extremely small points. Refrigerator doesn’t have an ice maker, so if you are going to need very much ice, bring a bag of ice. The washer and dryer are in a building across the street (20 feet away).
Would definitely stay there again!
Too warm at night We could only decrease thermostat to 68. My wife suffers from hot flashes. This was not low enough. Everything else was good. Wouldn’t stay again because of thermostat issue though
Very clean and did feel like living in tree tops! Quiet neighborhood; could hear some road noise below the mountain. King bed was comfortable with abundant pillows! We enjoyed The Hound patio bar at end of street; nice spot for a bottle of wine/appetizer. Location is great for restaurants and driving to Blue Ridge.The fridge is not full size (eat out-so many great restaurants) and the hall bath is cruise-ship small. Areas to improve: sofa so soft and unsupportive you feel like you are sitting on the floor; black out curtains needed for smaller bedroom as street light is too bright shining right through window shade; and ice cube trays are cracked and need to be replaced.
Overall the Matterhorn Chalet is a wonderful place for a couple, family with 1-2 children, or two friends (possibly even two couples). The home is very cozy with a working fireplace and nice views from its perch on the hillside. The internet is "OK" in terms of speed, though we had trouble with the cable (we didn't exactly need it so we didn't call). The home itself is conveniently located near groceries, attractions and the like; and it has everything you need for your stay. Please note it is a bit tricky getting into the house/subdivision, so pay close attention as you head uphill. As a final note: while the house is dog friendly, finding space to walk dogs is challenging, and would be difficult for picky pups. However, this is VERY common with many rentals in Asheville. If you dogs needs a yard or green space consider something on flat land. Otherwise, Haw Creek Park is very close a great for letting your dogs stretch their legs.
The property was clean and well equipped, however it is not the easiest location to get to. Narrow winding road that is 2 way traffic with only room for one vehicle. I had to back up to a wider portion of the road twice because I met an oncoming car coming downhill. Certainly arrive in daylight, not darkness. Previous renter had left a small bag of trash in container outside front door and there are definitely bears in the area. We live in the mountains and are very accustomed to wild bears, but these have been acclimated to humans and do not leave easily. Trash dump is about 100 ft. from house and they were there every night. Be cautious and carry a spotlight at night if walking your dog. Luckily I spotted the trash outside of the front door when we first arrived, but according to a neighbor, that happens quite often so check it when arriving. Would not stay here again.
Lovely home, well appointed & well supplied, excellent communication with host. Roads were a little tricky, but that was communicated in advance. Highly recommend.
The property was very nice, and as described. Communication and assistance was quick when needed. It was a quick drive to downtown, the arts district, or waterfall hikes. We enjoyed our stay and would come back.
This was the perfect location for exploring Asheville and the nearby Smoky Mountains. We loved everything about the property and would highly recommended to our friends and family.
