In Jackson County we found stunning scenery, a wealth of activities, and the downright friendliness that made believers of the big city skeptics among us. In towns like Dillsboro, Cashiers and Balsam, the charm was pure Smoky Mountain . . . As we drove up the steep hill, I remember thinking how absolutely appropriate the Chalet Inn name was to this alpine-inspired building. A personal welcome from my hosts, and my name posted on a slate sign at the door invited me inside, and a warm, cozy room with a gurgling stream just outside my window took away the fatigue of the day's drive. Honeymoon accommodations overlook a babbling brook . . .
Rooms are immaculate, comfortable and quiet . . .
If the day is brisk, curl up before the fireplace in the Great Room or take a walk around the property and enjoy a spectacular mountain sunset . . . Sweeping vistas, sheer cliffs, purling mountain streams, roaring waterfalls, rivers of whitewater and miles of hiking trails - nature's bounty in all its glory . . . For an Alpine Gasthaus, try The Chalet Inn near Whittier. Check out The Chalet Inn . . Inside we met George, and took a tour of their rustic home and Inn .
