Downtown Asheville - Zurich Swiss MNT Chalet #9B/Low Cost Uber

5-star 1960s unique mountain cottage that is just 1.2 miles from downtown Asheville. Located on Beaucatcher Mountain, this charming home sits on a narrow switchback road above the famous mountain tunnel heading into downtown Asheville.

It is located in one of the best locations in the city!

Step into the 1960s with this bright home’s original built-ins and well-preserved mid-century feel. The house features cozy furniture, balcony, grill, and an additional outdoor space immersed in the mountains. You can throw a rock 🪨 into downtown Asheville, while being a world away on Beaucatcher Mountain. It offers hiking opportunities and occasional bear sightings, yet it is still only a 5-minute drive to DT.

The home consists of two cabins/chalets on top of each other on a mountain top. Each chalet has its own private entrance. This listing is for the bottom unit, The Zurich Swiss Chalet #9B.

It is spacious with a full kitchen, living room, dining table with 2 seats, 1 large bedroom with a queen bed, 1 queen sleeper sofa with a gel mattress, laundry area, and 1 full bathroom. Also, open area includes an adjustable desk with a 30" curved gaming monitor and a comfortable desk chair. Bedroom includes an additional vintage wood desk and chair.

It also offers a private balcony with a small outdoor table for two. There is an additional outdoor mini-garden table for two below the stairs with a private grill. It adjoins a quiet community common area with an umbrella and picnic table. Please be mindful of neighbors and keep noise down.

- Low Uber cost to DT AVL

- Street parking spot for the bottom Zurich Swiss Chalet #9B, which is ~50 feet before house to your left as you are driving up. Reference photos.

- Street parking is off of a cliff, so be careful as you are parking and exiting the vehicle. Assess your safety and steps before you get out of the car.

- Street parking not suitable for large vehicles as road is very narrow.

- Driveway parking in front of the house is reserved for the top unit, Zurich Swiss Chalet #9A, which is a different listing.

- You will need to walk down to end of snug driveway to stairs to your left to access the private entrance for chalet #9B. You may need to maneuver around top unit's parked cars. Please watch your step and walk safely while avoiding scratching their cars with the luggage.

Brought to you by our family, who fell in love with Asheville and wanted to share this unique and special find with you.

Guest Access:
- There are outdoor security cameras
- Self check-in/out.
- House is located below a top chalet with a separate and private entrance.
- This upstairs chalet is another short term rental.
- 100% of bottom chalet/cabin is yours.

Other things to note:
- 1.2 miles from DT Asheville / lost cost Uber.
- House not childproofed but kids of all ages are welcome. Pack N' Play with mattress/sheets and strap on baby seat available in unit at all times.
- Just like any hotel or duplex living, you may hear footsteps or some noise. White-noise device is available by bedside.
- We have a dehumidifier that is constantly running in the chalet. If you find it noisy when sleeping, feel free to turn if off. Just please follow the instructions written on it when turning it back on to make sure the correct buttons are pushed.
- Located on mountain road with no pedestrian walkway so not safe to walk downhill.
- The road is narrow and switchback, so more challenging for larger vehicles.
- If you have a small truck/car/SUV, please continue all the way around the community. You do not need to back down the hill to exit the neighborhood. It is a steep hill, but you can make it!
- Recommend daylight arrivals if not used to mountain/narrow road driving.
- We allow dogs only with prior approval of count, breed and size before your stay begins.
○ We limit number of dogs to two dogs per chalet.
○ We love cats but can't accommodate them due to allergy concerns.
○ We charge a pet fee of $25 per night, per dog, with a max of $150 per stay; we offer a reduced pet fee for dogs under 10 pounds. Applicable pet fees will be requested through Airbnb after you book.
○ Dogs must be up-to-date on flea and tick medication, as well as all required vaccinations. You must be prepared to show the up-to-date Rabies tag should the need arise.
○ Dogs must be leashed at all times outside of the chalet. We have bears in the area!
○ Don't leave your dog unattended on the balcony to avoid any sad accidents.
○ Please clean-up immediately if your dog has an accident inside. Also, please pick-up your doggy's droppings while you are walking them outside.
○ Only towels in the doggy basket may be used for your dog. If our cleaning staff report that any white towels were used for dogs, a replacement fee of $25 per used towel will be charged to your account.
○ Dogs are not allowed on the sofa without the use of the special doggy blanket. Please make sure to place our special doggy blanket/sofa cover on our furniture before you let your fur babies join you.
○ Dogs are not by any means allowed on the beds or linens. If our cleaning crew reports that dogs were on the bed, an additional cleaning fee of $50 per bed will be charged to your account.
○ We kindly ask that if your dog sheds, please vacuum the hair prior to checking out. Dog hair needs time to settle after vacuuming, and this will allow our cleaning staff to thoroughly clean after your departure in preparation for the arrival of our next guest.
○ If your dog causes any damage in the chalet, please report it to us right away so we can come to an agreement on how to handle the situation.

We appreciate your support in following the above rules so we can continue to allow future guests to join us with their loved dogs.

The host and Vrbo were great. It was in a great location to get to downtown. The only thing is the roads and parking are a bit tough. I would make sure you have a smaller vehicle and everyone staying can fit in one car otherwise you will need to find alternative parking. Otherwise it was a great stay.

Comfortable Efficiency once you find it
Has all basic featues and is well stocked. Parking is tough and maps cant find it so we did have some difficulty getting there. Once in there had everything we would want. We were lucky though as nobody stayed in unit above most of our stay so it didnt bother us too much to hear stepping above us. Hosts very responsive to any request.

We enjoyed this spot mainly due to the close proximity to a relative who lives nearby. We stayed in 9B the lower unit which was a very nice little unit perfect for two. And the owners were very responsive and accommodating. I would stay here again.

Great location & quaint space!
We planned a weekend getaway for our anniversary to Asheville & we are so glad we found this chalet to stay in! It was very clean and had everything you need for your stay. The parking was a little tricky, but definitely doable (we have a mid sized SUV). And the communication & information from the hosts regarding check in/check out/recommendations, as well as just checking in during our stay was so helpful & attentive. Definitely would recommend & we would stay here again!!

Mountain feel near downtown
Lovely cabin. Close to town, but still has a mountain/remote feel. Not very walkable with kids because roads are steep and narrow, but super short drive to downtown. As described the road up is narrow and the parking is tight, but totally manageable. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Good communication with owners.
