Lil Den Chalet is a newly remodeled, modern, 507 sq ft, tiny home chalet with wonderful mountain views. Our chalet is ideal for a romantic getaway, peaceful solo retreat and family's with older children. The basement efficiency can only be accessed from the exterior. We welcome family's with small children but our set up may not be ideal. We are centrally located in the town of Foscoe between Boone (9mi) and Banner Elk (10mi), NC.
When we purchased our tiny home chalet, with my parents, it was in desperate need of being updated from its original 1990's cabin style. We could see the big potential in this little home. Our small but spacious mountain chalet is situated in the heart of nature, surrounded by towering oak trees, large boulders, and, of course, the majestic mountains. It provides easy access to hiking trails, skiing slopes, and other outdoor activities, making it an ideal retreat for nature enthusiasts. Upon entering the chalet, you'll find yourself in a warm, spacious living space characterized by exposed wooden beams, a brand new fireplace and large windows allowing natural light to flood the rooms. Our open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room to the dining area and fully stocked kitchen. Please be aware we do not have a dishwasher. The bedroom is tucked away just off the living room, offering a restful atmosphere after a day of outdoor adventures. Step outside onto the deck and enjoy the mountain views from the porch swing or enjoy a glass a wine while cozying up in our rocking chairs.
The lower level is just down the outdoor staircase and leads you to another living space we call an efficiency. The living area doubles as a sleep space. Our daybed allows for a space to enjoy watching tv or relaxing during the day. While at night a place to lay your head. There are two comfy twins beds in this space. You will simple roll the bed from underneath of the other when you are ready to sleep. There is also a full bathroom and kitchenette. This space is it own little apartment with a separate deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery. You CAN NOT access this area from the upstairs main living area. This space is not ideal for small children but rather older children, friends or family that would like a little extra privacy.
We do have a laundry room available in a separate basement area.
Please note the only area with A/C is our primary bedroom on the first floor. Due to our elevation our home tends to stay cool in summer months.
In addition to enjoying our home you will love our neighborhood, Mill Ridge, and its amenities. We have a heated pool, a club house, tennis courts, and a great little hiking trail. Our quaint mountain chalet, it is the epitome of comfort and tranquility, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of life while allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural world.

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 are so happy you enjoyed your stay at The Hideaway. Come back soon!
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.

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
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.
