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!

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.

Perfect Mountain Stay

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.

Perfect mountain house

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.

Downstairs had a little funky smell due to the dampness and humidity of the area. We had a little issue one night with the lock that was quickly resolved. Overall, it was clean and thoughtfully appointed, especially the kitchen. Appreciated the ability to wash laundry prior to leaving. Though the light on an automatic shut off when the door closed, did not work. I had to prop the iron in the closet against the door. The coffee provided was delicious! Beds were fairly comfy. Overall, small things that could have been an issue anywhere, but the owner I spoke with was very kind and attentive. He resolved the lock issue quickly, and I left a comment card about the light shutoff with the door closure.

Mountain Hideaway

Property was well appointed and clean. The units are small, but well laid out. The upper portion is definitely roomier and has the full dining room table. We made breakfast and they had all of the cookware needed. There are nice views, air conditioning worked well, we didn't experience any issues. We did some a mama bear and her two cubs just up the road! We walked to town one day, 1 mile, and it was very nice without too many cars. I probably wouldn't walk it at night though as there are no sidewalks. Very nice place, thank you!

Convenient location with every comfort of home

We came to Asheville for our son’s wedding and wanted somewhere close to town whilst also taking some time to relax before the events. Weather fluctuated drastically and this Chalet was warm but with many outside porch areas with forest/mountain views for when the sun came out. Well stocked kitchen and great toiletries in the bathrooms! The ground floor is self contained allowing my daughter to WFH in a quiet environment during our stay. Great communications from the property manager.

My Friends and I enjoyed our experience. They thought of everything you may need for a comfortable stay. From robes to delicious cookies from their bakery. The location is perfect! Tucked away up in the peaceful woods, yet close to all of the activities Ashville has to offer. I will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Glicken

Host profile image
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.
