“Perfect Couple's Romantic Getaway” Our recent mid-June stay at Chalet-Switz was everything we had hoped it would be. Despite its small size, my wife and I never once felt cramped or confined as the chalet makes perfect use of its limited square footage. The historic nature and uniqueness of the chalet was a major selling point in our decision to rent it for the week over other options and, in all honesty, I cannot imagine ever staying anywhere else on future vacations to the area. The home's close proximity to the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway made our many driving excursions all the more pleasurable. The owner has taken great care to even furnish the chalet with such unique touches as several books on the local area and its history and coffee mugs made from local artists. For the same price as a hotel room (perhaps much less, in many cases) we were able to stay somewhere truly special. The bed was comfortable, the Greek tub completely manageable for daily showering/bathing, and our ability to use the kitchen facilities for our daily breakfasts and even a dinner or two allowed us to save money over having to eat out for every single meal. If I were forced to find any criticism whatsoever it would be that the coffee maker was quite small and required my wife and I (both coffee lovers) to brew at least two small pots each morning and there were no laundry facilities available to us, which really wasn't much of a problem for us, but would have been helpful had they been available. Chalet Switz was much more than just a room to crash in after an activity filled day in the mountains of Western NC; staying there was as much a part of our vacation experience as any of the sights we saw or activities we enjoyed. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to unplug from daily life and have a truly unique and memorable vacation experience when visiting the area. We will almost certainly be repeat guests at some point in the future.
