About this property

Game rooms! Fire pits! Screened porch! In town!

Experience a Swiss Chalet without needing a passport! Lovingly decorated, game room(s) for the kids, screened in porch and fire pits for the adults! You are IN town, yet still get all the privacy you desire.

FAMILY FRIENDLY: There is a HUGE seasonal game room in the basement (not heated!) with mini pool, ping pong, darts, pop shot, and more!! The upstairs den/game room has Wii, darts, wall checkers and a bunch of board games and puzzles.

BEDROOMS: There are two bedrooms and one full bathroom on the main level, and two bedrooms (one open with 4 twins that includes a privacy curtain) with a full bath on the upper peaked roof floor. The full bathroom is under the peaked roof but once you start using it, it surprisingly functions very well! The charm will make you laugh and you can always shower in the downstairs spacious shower if it’s easier!

KITCHEN: Coffee bar with coffee stocked for your stay!! The kitchen is fully stocked for all of your cooking needs. Ingles is right down the hill in town as well.

LIVING: The main living room has a new faux fireplace and a TV for streaming services with a comfortable sectional as well as a dining table ready for 10.

OUTSIDE: There is a wrap around deck for dining outside by the gas grill and a screened in porch with rocking chairs and a gas fire pit on the chilly nights. There is also a fire pit down below and plenty of wood available for a real fire - just don't forget the marshmallows!

Other things to note
There are 5 stone steps up to the deck and then another three wood stairs to get to the property. It is NOT wheelchair accessible.
The Chalet is a 0.5 mile drive up the mountain from town. The road requires 4WD in the winter. Snowy conditions are unpredictable and there are NO REFUNDS for weather conditions as you are agreeing to book a mountain cabin during winter months.

Basic items like linens, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, coffee (keurig and pot), soap, dish soap, dishwasher and laundry detergent, gas tanks (may need to be filled...thank you for that!) are all provided!

Weekend with Kiddos
Overall it was good. Loved the game room and location. We definitely needed more towels but we made do. The new were very comfortable. Loved the deck and gas fireplace. Great assortment of games but some of them were missing pieces. Overall I would recommend it.

Chalet Stay
We really enjoyed our time in the Burnsville area. The rental description seemed to meet our needs as we were a group of 9. The main level was clean and really quite nice, with the exception of the outside decks which had to be cleaned of debris (leaves and twigs) before they were usable. The main floor bath needs a working fan and grab bar in the shower. The kitchen overhead light doesn’t work. Inadequate exterior lighting on (deck,kitchen,garage/drive) making night arrivals challenging. The 2nd level accommodations were disappointing on multiple fronts. The bathroom is moldy. Most likely from inadequate ventilation + water going outside the bath area. Bath door has no latch or door stop moulding which provides no privacy as large gaps on either side of the door allow anyone checking occupancy to look in. The shower is the low point. Most of the hot water goes down the drain. Utilities? The tub surround and amateur caulking and budget curtain were really disappointing. The bedroom with the king bed has no working door latch either which causes the door to swing open. There is no way to have any privacy without blocking the door clo from the inside. It’s impossible to leave a partner sleeping with a closed door. This bedroom has nothing to hang clothes on (rod or hooks) and no trash can. The loft could use smaller pillows. Bigger lofty pillows aren’t better. Small window AC units were noisy and had to run constantly. Make this the great rental it should be.

Burnsville chalet multi bedrooms and great location
We had a fantastic time during our stay at the chalet in Burnsville through Vrbo! The house provided ample space a great kitchen, making it easy and enjoyable for us to prepare meals. Sitting on the porch with the beautiful views was relaxing, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The chalet's location close to a wonderful town was a big plus. We loved exploring the area and were delighted to find two great restaurants nearby. Appalachian Trail Java served up delicious baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee, while Rio offered authentic and tasty Mexican food. Additionally, we had the pleasure of experiencing an incredible facial by Renne Lindernax at Jill’s hairport salon right in town . Her expertise and dedication truly went the extra mile, and we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Lastly, a special thank you to Beth for her hospitality during our stay at the chalet. We highly recommend this vacation rental for anyone looking to have a wonderful time in Burnsville! Denise and gang nyc

Best in Burnsville
The Vacay Chalet is perfectly appointed, uniquely welcoming and oh so lovely. Beth was incredibly attentive from the booking through the stay. The house is amazingly equipped for families, but also perfect for a girls weekend. Close to everything but tucked away in solitude—The Vacay Chalet is the place to stay in Burnsville.

Perfect place for a perfect holiday.
I do have one recommendation. My husband and I are elderly and have issues with our backs and legs. We can do stairs as long as we go slow and use the railings. There are no railings for the lower steps coming up from the parking pad to the deck. A railing on both dides is ideal. But railing on one side in combination with a cane is doable. We loved your place and it was perfect for us and our group, other than the railings. We look forward to coming back!

Nice stay in good location
The cabin is older but in good condition. We had a good time for a couple nights. Overall it was clean and as advertised except the basement pool and ping pong tables are miniature and too cold in winter - a space heater does not work in converted garage. Also, it is located on steep hill so it would be a problem if there is snow.

Great place, great location, great fun
A couple of old friends and I stayed at this property over a long weekend in October. The location was very nice, close to town but quiet. The house itself was very clean and quite nice on both the inside and out. Many things to keep us all entertained and also very nice places to hang outside. We will definitely be coming back!

kitschy and comfy
Six friends (aged mid-30s to 70) met to celebrate Lynn's upcoming wedding. We enjoyed the whimsical decor and the wooded setting. We were close to town (and Burnsville is adorable!), but it didn't feel like it. Two small complaints--the lack of kitchen towels (we could find only one) and the inadequate supply of toilet paper. Six women need more than 2 full and 2 partial rolls for three nights.

Charming and intimate, great for families and adults
The house is quirky in all the right ways. It's cozy but you never feel cramped. It's fun and comfortable. There are humorous little touches. It's just off a main road so it's easy to get places, but you still feel secluded in the woods. The Matrix bathroom is accurate and most preferred to use the downstairs bathroom but it is a second toilet that, with six people staying there, is vital. I'd book this again in a heartbeat.

A slice of heaven!!!
What an amazing place this was! We needed a place comfortable enough for 4 adults that would allow us to be close enough to downtown Burnsville for a friends wedding! This place delivered that and so much more! The rooms were perfect and the beds were SO comfortable! The view from the porch was perfect. Not to mention we were able to walk to downtown to enjoy a cup of coffee from the local eatery Appalachian Java! A must visit while your there! We are nature lovers, the house is about 20 minutes from Crabtree falls and other hikes! Its only a 45 minute drive to asheville, allowing us to get our fix for a day! I could go on and on about this place, it was amazing! Very clean and perfect for us! Can't wait to come back and enjoy the porch and oh so comfy beds!

About the host

Host profile image
I bought this mountain chalet because I accidently went to Burnsville one day and immediately fell in love. It's in an amazing location, so close to all outdoor activities year round and only 40 min to Asheville! It's a wonderful location right up above town but you feel like you're in the middle of the woods!
