WHY DO I LOVE THE CHALET?:
I adore the aesthetics of the chalet! There is no other property that has its chic Alpine style in Highlands, NC. I created a sophisticated, understated, and quite elegant vibe to create the coziest chalet. Plus, I love being so close to all my favorite restaurants and shopping downtown Highlands!

CHALET LAYOUT:
A) As you enter the first level, you are greeted by the charming kitchen, dining area, and separate washer/dryer room.
B) Ascend the stairs to discover the crown jewels of the chalet, the grande vaulted ceiling on the second level. Upstairs you will discover the inviting living room with an outdoor upper deck and enormous Samsung smart TV, the fairy-tale king master bedroom that has a lot of soft natural light filtering in from the sea of rhododendrons with Samsung smart TV, and a full hallway bathroom with combination tub/shower.
C) The loft area hosts the 1/2 bath, a hallway nook twin bed, and a cozy queen bedroom with windows that flood the room with lovely natural light.
~ bedrooms have pull-down blackout blinds and/or blackout curtains ~

THE AREA:
Highlands is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums, and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. At 4,118 feet, it’s one of the few temperate rainforests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world. Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop.

This place was super cool and very comfortable. Many thoughtful touches to make for a seamless stay. Would highly recommend, especially if you like staying in a small art gallery. Close (but not quite) walkable to downtown (because no sidewalks), and easy access to local trails. Lovely place and easy communication with owner.

Weekend Getaway

We cannot say enough about our stay at the chalet. Our hostess, the decor, the location were absolutely perfect for a weekend to relax. Everything we needed was provided for and made our stay easy and simple. Every window had a view that made you feel as if you were tucked away in the woods but it was only a 2 minute drive into town. We hope we can make it back - Autumn must be beautiful - thank you Missy😊

So cute!

Loved our stay at this cute little property! Just a couple minutes to town and to a few short, easy trails. Just a heads up, this house is RIGHT on a pretty busy road so it can be a little loud and wouldn’t be great with quick moving toddlers, and the parking is a small space. But still excellent for an adorable little cottage in the mountains!

Perfect Little Chalet

What a lovely Chalet! This was a perfect spot for a little get away for the weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and all of the outside lounging areas. There were only two of us, so as far as the beds go I can only comment on the mater bed. Slept great and was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for grilling out on the gas grill. What a great place in a convenient location. Would highly recommend! Thanks Missy for sharing your quaint little Chalet! I will definitely book again in the future!

Coziest Art Chalet

I booked a last minute weekend getaway to Highlands for my family (2 adults and our 6 month old). I must say this is one of the neatest places we have rented. It reminded me a Swiss Chalet but the local artist paintings also gave it southern charm. I loved how all of the art on the walls was for sale. Such a cool idea! The space was perfect for our small family. The master bed was super comfortable, nice linens, and super stylish. Everything was VERY clean 10/10 and lots of extra amenities like body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, candles!, bar accessories, vinyl record player with lots of albums, etc. etc. The house is off the main road leading into Highlands so we didn't walk to town because we had a stroller, but was only a short drive. We love the Highlands so much and would definitely book the art chalet again! Thank you, Missy!
