DT Asheville - Zurich MNT Chalet #9A/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.

The home is secluded on a mountain top with beautiful views, offers hiking opportunities and occasional bear sightings, yet it is still only a 5-minute drive to downtown. It really is in one of the best locations in the entire city of Asheville!

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.

House consists of two chalets/cabins above each other and is one of a handful properties in Asheville city limits with legal short-term rental permits from the city without owner homestay requirement.

This listing is for top unit, The Zurich Swiss Chalet #9A.

Additionally, this cabin is great for longer stays / work from home, as 3rd bedroom is set up as a bright office with a big window with views.

- 3 bedrooms (2 queen beds + office with a daybed)
- Snug parking for two vehicles
- Low-cost Uber to DT AVL

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

- Self check-in/out.
- 100% of top chalet/cabin is yours and driveway parking is reserved for you.

NOTE: There is another short-term rental chalet downstairs, which has its designated street parking. While this downstairs chalet has a completely private entrance and is not connected to the top unit in anyway, it can only be accessed via stairs at end of driveway to the left; this means other guests will pass by your car(s) and front door to access their unit. Please leave outside lights on at night for their safety.

Available by phone and happy to help as needed.

This house is truly part of Asheville’s travel history, as it is one of the 12 original Swiss-inspired chalets built in the 1960s as an upscale tourist retreat.

Amazing and premium location that is a rare find. This place has it all! Mountain seclusion/views, hiking opportunities, potential bear sightings yet still a few minutes from city life. It will certainly enable you to enjoy Asheville`s incredible restaurants and culture!
