Beautiful home in a beautiful location

The Relax and Play Chalet is the perfect name for this property. It has everything you need for a worry-free, peaceful stay in the mountains. The check-in/check-out was easy and I had the host's phone # for quick text response to a question. We saw a deer outside our bedroom window on the first day! But you will see many deer while traveling around the lovely Wolf Laurel community. The property is centrally located in the stunning western North Carolina mountains. Our family of 3, including a young teenager, visited in the summer. There are so many choices of things to do, it's hard to decide. There are two must-do trails in the community, the hike to Big Bald and the lush Nature Trail linked to the Appalachian Trail near the country club. We had to ask someone how to find the Trail to Big Bald, everyone is very friendly though. There are stores nearby for essentials and a grocery store is only 20 min away. After spending the day hiking and swimming in different waterfalls in the Pisgah National Forest or driving the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway we returned to the Chalet and had a nice soak in the hot tub next to the creek. There is a grill and gourmet kitchen fully stocked with all the cookware we needed. Beds were very comfortable, AC worked well, place was super clean, we would definitely stay here again!

Escape to the mountains

We decided to take our two girls to the NC mountains for the first time since we normally head to the beach. So glad we did because we had a wonderful time! The house was the perfect size for the four of us and really nicely outfitted. (We looked online and saw the “before” pictures of the chalet. The owners did an amazing renovation!) We really enjoyed the use of the fire pit and the hot tub on property. The kids went to the neighborhood playground several times, and the whole family went on a hike (Big Bald) with amazing views that you can access through the neighborhood. Eating at the kitchen bar one day, we saw deer in the woods right in front of us! We were really tucked away in nature and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We went to the little general store to get coffee and ice cream a couple times. We also went to Weaverville (cute town) to eat and shop one day and made a couple trips to Asheville (to tour the Biltmore, see a play, eat, check out the arts district, and go zip lining/do a ropes course). It was just the right blend of things to do and in a cozy little home that worked out really well for us. We all had a great time and are already talking about going back in the winter!

Great time at Relax and Play chalet!

My family, two adults and two young children, had a great time staying at the Relax and Play chalet. It was the perfect distance from stores and easily accessible to downtown asheville for a day trip. The property was clean and well maintained and exactly as advertised. My children loved the fire pit and cornhole game on property available to use. The community had great amenities and endless fun. We were able to easily hike to big bald with our young kids using the communities trail. It was everything we were looking for! I definitely recommend this property and host!

The perfect getaway

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Chalet, and even though our visit was brief, it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful details throughout the home. Everything, from the dishes to the multiple blankets, was carefully curated for our comfort. The cleanliness was remarkable, and it truly set the tone for a relaxing getaway.We loved listening to and dancing to the records – it added such a charming touch to our stay. The welcome snacks were a delightful surprise, and the handwritten notes scattered around the chalet made us feel so welcomed. As we were unfamiliar with the area, we greatly appreciated the recommendations for local dining – they were spot on!Although we didn’t have a chance to enjoy the hot tub, we did take the opportunity to marvel at the beautiful stars in the clear night sky, which was simply breathtaking. One highlight of our stay was discovering the chair massager—it was a perfect way to unwind after our long drive. We loved it so much that we even looked it up on Amazon!The Chalet definitely earns a 10/10 from us. I highly recommend the Chalet in this lovely gated community for anyone looking for a cozy, thoughtful retreat. We can't wait to return!

Very nice and cozy

Easy to get in and find. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of extra blankets. Everything worked, had space heaters for bedrooms bc they did get a little chilly at night. Hot tub was great and even had robes for your stay. Very close to Hatley point. Grocery store not too far. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot for a weekend away (skiing / hiking)

We had a great stay at the Relax & Play Chalet. First time to this area - we enjoyed a day of skiing just around the corner at Hatley Pointe and hiking Big Bald Mountain (right there in the neighborhood). The place was incredibly clean and well appointed for everything we needed for a cozy cabin getaway. We watched deer from the picture window in the bedroom, enjoyed a cozy fire and played games in the evening with the kids. Any question/issue that came up, we had almost immediate communication with the hosts who were incredibly accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend this listing!

the cutest chalet

We just stayed for four nights to snowboard at hatley pointe! This chalet exceeded our expectations and was bigger than we were expecting. We absolutely loved the decor! The owners of chalet are very responsive and kind. My daughter fell in love with a stuffed bear in the home and they gave it to her to remember the tripby! We definutely want to return. It is a very good location and only a few minute drive to Hatley Pointe. Its also very close to Asheville and downtown Mars Hill. Thank you again!
