the Lucerne Chalet was the perfect spot for us. I would definitely stay here again. Two of us stayed for 6 nights. We didn't bring a dog, but the house does have its own fenced in walk area in the back which others might find convenient. Everywhere we went was literally minutes from the house, so the location in itself was perfect. Inside the house you'll find all the amenities and comfort you need. Its very clean - the shower, the bathrooms, the bedrooms, the kitchen, all the linens. Everything you need was available. The kitchen had all the pots, pans, utensils etc- whatever you need to cook meals. The porch had seating you can just chill and enjoy the view. Laundry area is available and located just below the house. we didn't use it, but just the convenience to know it's there if needed. It's our first visit to Asheville and we're so glad to have found this Gem! And I must say, out of all the Chalets, this one the Lucerne has the best driveway for parking. The road leading up to the house is narrow, but you get used to it. Just be respectful of other guests since it's still 2way road. Overall, I rate the home 5 stars! AND Darlene And Ron are quite easy to get a hold of and quick to respond, I give them 5 stars too!
