WHY DO I LOVE THE CHALET?:
I adore the aesthetics of the chalet! There is no other property that has its chic Alpine style in Highlands, NC. I created a sophisticated, understated, and quite elegant vibe to create the coziest chalet. Plus, I love being so close to all my favorite restaurants and shopping downtown Highlands!

CHALET LAYOUT:
A) As you enter the first level, you are greeted by the charming kitchen, dining area, and separate washer/dryer room.
B) Ascend the stairs to discover the crown jewels of the chalet, the grande vaulted ceiling on the second level. Upstairs you will discover the inviting living room with an outdoor upper deck and enormous Samsung smart TV, the fairy-tale king master bedroom that has a lot of soft natural light filtering in from the sea of rhododendrons with Samsung smart TV, and a full hallway bathroom with combination tub/shower.
C) The loft area hosts the 1/2 bath, a hallway nook twin bed, and a cozy queen bedroom with windows that flood the room with lovely natural light.
~ bedrooms have pull-down blackout blinds and/or blackout curtains ~

AGE & SAFETY POLICY:
Our property is designed and equipped for adult and teen guests. Due to safety considerations - including stairs, elevated decks, and cleaning products - the home is NOT suitable for infants or children under 13 years of age. Also, not suitable for children due to the high end artwork throughout the living spaces. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable retreat.

Travel insurance compensates you for trip costs and money you spend due to unforeseen events before and during your trip. This is especially important during hurricane season and to protect you from any unforeseen event.

PETS, INCLUDING SERVICE ANIMALS:
This is a pet-free property due to allergies. Unfortunately, due to severe, documented allergies within our household, we are unable to accomodate pets or service animals at this property. This is not a preference but a health and safety necessity since we too use this property as our personal vacation home.

Thanks for understanding!

THE AREA:
Highlands is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums, and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. At 4,118 feet, it’s one of the few temperate rainforests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world. Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop.

Weekend Getaway

We cannot say enough about our stay at the chalet. Our hostess, the decor, the location were absolutely perfect for a weekend to relax. Everything we needed was provided for and made our stay easy and simple. Every window had a view that made you feel as if you were tucked away in the woods but it was only a 2 minute drive into town. We hope we can make it back - Autumn must be beautiful - thank you Missy😊
