The Chalet was perfect for my husband and I. It was in a great location. Close to all the hiking attractions and restaurants. It was very quiet. We spent all day exploring and it was nice to come back to a cozy cottage, where we could relax.

Such a cute chalet! Loved the decorations and style. Loved the little downstairs area too, even though we didn’t need to use it. Maybe next time we’ll bring our kids. Upstairs was the perfect size for our Anniversary getaway. Just wish we had time to stay longer. Thanks for the hospitality, Brandi!

We had a very relaxing stay. The chalet was perfect for two people. It was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the deck and the swing overlooking the beautiful western NC mountains. Communication with the host was great.
We loved being surrounded by the trees.
Perfect place for a cup of coffee!

Great view, really nice deck, kitchen had everything we needed. The tvs were preloaded with apps, the Internet worked. The separation between the top and bottom floors was nice with teenagers. The wall heaters kept everything cozy. 5 stars.

Awesome place!

Loved, loved, loved staying here. Extremely clean and updated! Communication was easy. I was worried that the only place it had air conditioning was the bedroom, but you totally didn’t need it. It was so nice and cool. Can’t wait to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Brandi Schmidt

Host profile image

I have been a cosmetologist for 18+ years. I enjoy hiking, photography, traveling, trying new restaurants and making every moment count. I am married to a hard working, multi-talented man and we have two beautiful/crazy kids. I've been enjoying being a host since 2022 and have over 150+ 5 star reviews on other platforms. I Co-host Lil' Den Chalet with my Mother, Deanna. We take great pride in making a comfortable stay for all our guest as they enjoy our local area.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy our cozy chalet in Mill Ridge because of its inviting vibes and the beautiful view we have of our town, Foscoe. We enjoy the hiking trail, pool and tennis courts in the warmer months. In the winter, we have an easy drive to Sugar and Beech Mountain or The Hawks Nest for all winter sports. We hope you love our neighborhood as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

We have a completely private, 220 sq ft basement efficiency with a sperate entrance. There is no way to access this room from our first floor.
You must use the outdoor staircase that leads to the basement to enter this room. This efficiency is great if you have older children, close friends or family members you are traveling with that may want a little extra privacy.
