The house was well decorated and well stocked with great views. I wish it had been warmer so we could enjoy the balconies and screened in porch. Also loved the large tv and record player. The hosts were extremely attentive. We loved the cookies from their bakery and the extras for our dog. Convenient to everything. Highly recommend.

Thanks for your generous review. We're pleased to hear that you were pleased with the accommodations of the Lower Georgia Peach and our staff's communication.
We had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the property so much! We especially loved all the little "details" like cookies left for us and the record player and records. The property was close to restaurants, shopping and bars. The beds were super comfy and we enjoyed the porches in the mornings. Highly recommend this cute chalet!

We booked both the lower and upper rooms. Great area, easy access to anything downtown Asheville while also being secluded from any traffic and such. We loved the porch areas and the living room in the upper area was a perfect setup for us 4. Also great amenities with coffee and tea. make up wipes, shower supplies and even robes and cookies. It really felt like a hotel vibe as well.

This location was perfect for my wife and I and my in-laws. Location was right in the middle of everything but nestled away in a quiet mountain setting. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and provided a lot of items that made packing and prepping easy.

We were in town for a wedding and rented both units for my adult sons, their partners and ourselves. Location was right for town yet felt like a mountain get-away. All amenities were excellent and hosts were attentive to our requests. Downstairs unit was a little small but still comfy. We highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Asheville.

Thank you Marla, for being our guests at Asheville Swiss Chalets. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Berne Chalet and look forward to a return trip!
The property is gorgeous, well-furnished, and clean. We loved the baked goods samples! The separation into two separate units worked for us in general. The only glitch was that we were originally locked out of the lower floor, but a phone call resolved the issue quickly. The location is convent to town and to Biltmore.

About the host
Hosted by Donald Apelian
We are Ruben and Judy. Both New Yorkers, we moved to Asheville in ’98 to escape the brutal winters and busy lifestyle. As it turns out, the move went smashingly, but getting away from our busy lifestyle… not so much! Since 2002 we have managed to acquire 11 vacation rentals and open four busy bakery and cafes!
Feeding people and entertaining is one of our joys since the New York days, so all chalet guests will receive fresh-baked goodies and a gift certificate to Well-Bred Bakery & Café upon arrival. Well-Bred Luxury Lodgings f/k/a Asheville Swiss Chalets, is founded on a belief in great hospitality – we want to give people a memorable home-away-from-home experience while visiting Western North Carolina.
Being a cook myself, I wanted to make sure our guests have a fully stocked kitchen—so you’ll have access to great quality pots and pans, utensils, plus a fully stocked pantry. And don’t worry about leaving behind your four-legged family members. We see to it that yours are well provided for!
What makes this property unique
All of our vacation rentals are created for pets and their people! There is a big difference between allowing pets in a vacation rental and designing a rental specifically with your four-legged friends in mind. At Well-Bred Luxury Lodgings f/k/a Asheville Swiss Chalets, we carefully consider everything that even the most particular pup could want. These features include pet blankets, tasty doggie treats, and safe outdoor play areas.
But don’t worry; we also have an exceptional stay designed with you in mind. Each rental is conveniently located in the Asheville or Weaverville area and includes all the modern conveniences, comfort, as well as outstanding guest service.
