About this property

Lucerne Chalet - Treetop Mountain Views In Downtown Asheville -FP, Dog Friendly!

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

NOTES
This property is 1.3 miles from the heart of downtown, but we would recommend transportation since it's not walker-friendly.

No grill at the house.

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
A dog fee applies, plus all applicable taxes. Dog with prior approval. Dogs under 50 lbs. The size and breed of your dog are needed to register them. Please note that you are bringing your dog when making your reservation.

1. No puppies - Dog must be at least ONE YEAR OLD
2. No attack or aggressive breeds of dogs are allowed
3. Must have all shots and flea treatments that are up to date
4. Must always be on a leash and under the control of the owner
5. Must NOT sleep on beds, couches, or chairs
6. You must clean up after your dog and do not flush poop down the toilet
7. A dog fee will be charged for the extra cleaning required
8. Sorry, no cats

We love dogs, and we are happy to host your well-behaved dog.

You should also note that this property is managed by a local, sustainable, and seasoned vacation rental team with 20+ years of Five-Star reviews. We provide support and plenty of information before your arrival.

We are available during your stay to help out if needed because you are not just booking a home to stay in, but a southern mountain hospitality experience.

Thank you for considering staying with us!

Stayed in this unit for 2 weeks and loved the unit and location. Very convenient to downtown and to the interstates. Very nice tree top setting. Once we navigated the winding roads, it was a non-issue.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at our stay in Asheville. So convenient to downtown, Uber drivers super helpful and quick to get us where we needed to go. The facilities are wonderful. The home is spread out with ease of access to everything in the kitchen and anything we could’ve needed was there for us. So beautiful and peaceful in the evenings and mornings, gorgeous scenery!! The hosts Darlene and Ron are super amazing people and so responsive. And of course, downtown Asheville never disappoints with amazing shopping and food. Can’t wait to go back!

Roads are WAY TOO NARROW to accommodate an SUV. HEAT went out for over half a day. Very cold in house.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Dec 2025

Harry was a great guest, and I met him when I went over to Lucerne to diagnose the heat issue. Unfortunately, an insect shorted out the outside HVAC unit, and the primary heat was out for only a few hours. I immediately went to the house and showed them how to use 1) the gas logs in the living room, and 2) the baseboard heat in the other rooms. Our HVAC guy repaired the heat within a few hours while the guests were out for the day. I don't know how much quicker we could have had the heat back on, as it was only out for a few hours, but the backup heat was keeping the home warm. As for the neighborhood roads: We clearly state on our listing that the Asheville City roads are narrow, as most city roads are in a downtown area, no matter what city you're located in. I'm disappointed to read this review, as we have a 4.94 review rating with thousands of reviews over 20 years of hosting. I understand that some guests are easily frustrated when there's an issue, which is why we are available 24/7.

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!
