Enjoyed our stay
Cottage as described and clean. Owners very responsive. Parking ample. Beds and couches comfortable. Hot tub was great! View was wonderful - especially sunsets! Deck has lots of seating options! Gas grill was one of the nicest we've ever had at a rental! Kitchen well stocked, though smallish if more than 2 people at the same time. Plenty of towels for shower and hot tub. Good laundry facilities. 1 king upstairs with BR. King and Queen rooms on main level share BR. 2 Queen rooms downstairs share bathroom. Good ceiling fans and TVs. Hot tub on lower level. Stairs up and down are a little narrow - (step-wise, not width of stairwell). Floors and doors are a little creaky. Temperature varied from upstairs (warm) to downstairs (cooler).Would have really liked bedside tables on each side of beds where possible. :)We enjoyed our stay and appreciated check-ins from the owner.

Spectacular Mountain Retreat
My family and I love staying in the Blue Ridge Mountains each fall. We are so glad that we booked this property. The hosts were very helpful and communicative throughout our stay. The property is immaculate, well thought out, and the perfect size for our extended family staying with us. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook throughout our stay. The house has a great view of the mountains. The community has a lot of amenities, including a gym, a playground, a pond, and private access to Big Bald mountain which offers breathtaking 360 degree views. I would highly recommend staying at this property to anyone looking for a mountain getaway. We would love to visit again sometime in the future.

Wonderful hosts
While we had a very last minute cancellation due to Hurricane Helene, Kathleen and Sean were fantastic hosts leading up to the trip and beyond. Kathleen shared a book of recommended restaurants and activities in the area, and they both were so kind and thoughtful in handling the cancellation of our booking due to a natural disaster. We hope to be able to visit in the future.

A Hidden Gem
We enjoyed the natural beauty of this hidden gem. The view of the sunset was breathtaking. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms clean. Our dog had plenty of room to run around outside and play ball & frisbee. My grown sons had enough outdoor space to set up cornhole and badminton. There was plenty of space to park multiple vehicles easily. Plus, there was a high chair and pack n play on-site. The owners were quick to respond to any questions and made great recommendations for food and activities. We would definitely consider this home again in the future!

Perfect getaway!
We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. We stayed here on a trip for my husband’s birthday, and everything about it was incredible! The host were so kind and very responsive, and recommended some amazing trails for hiking. The house was clean in a quiet neighborhood, and the views off the porch were gorgeous!! It was a great location and only 40ish minutes to downtown Asheville. This was one of the best stays I’ve had from a VRBO, and we would return to this home in a heartbeat!

An Ideal Family Mountain Cabin
Our family had an amazing week for our Spring Break at the Wanderlust Chalet. The property was incredibly clean, the internet connection was strong, and the cabin was well stocked with dishes, soap, coffee, etc. The bathrooms were very nice, the beds were super comfy, and the kids loved the hot tub. In regards to the layout, it was incredibly friendly for our family of 6 allowing each of our 4 kids to have their own bedroom - which was spaced out well amongst the three floors and offered them some space. The cabin also worked great for our two dogs, it felt secure to stay in, and was very private as we saw very little traffic over the course of our stay. The view from cabin was absolutely amazing, and the location was perfect for us, as it was remote enough to provide a peaceful stay, but also ideal to take day trips to go hiking as well as explore the Asheville area. The owners were incredibly responsive to any questions and very helpful. We would definitely come back and stay here again and would recommend it any families looking for a nice mountain retreat to stay at.

Late family Christmas
Property was clean, accessible, with beautiful views, and lots to do. We had a magical experience with the kids seeing their very first snow and having a blast sledding every day. They loved the arcade and we all loved the hot tub! Hosts were excellent communicators and made sure we had everything we needed. The description of the property as listed is accurate with plenty of sleeping room and special woodsy charm. I can’t think of anything negative to say or any changes I’d make. We had a great time! Perfect place! Can’t wait for the ski lodge to be open next year.

Our stay during Kentucky fall break was amazing. We loved hiking Big Bald close to the house. Beautiful view off the back patio and the fire pit was great for the kids to enjoy! Hosts responded promptly to any questions we had.
