Shepherd's Chalet was such a wonderful find and just what we were looking for in a place to get away for a few days! Brian and Danielle have done an outstanding job of personally constructing their lovely cottage in a beautiful wooded mountain setting. The craftsmanship is beautiful and the home is immaculate. Brian and Danielle have equipped it with A/C and heat, wood stove, washer/dryer, TV, comfortable mattresses, kitchen supplies, toiletries, books, games, etc. - all the things that separate an adequate rental from a luxury rental. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and since Brian and Danielle live on the property, they were available to answer questions or offer helpful suggestions. Though private and somewhat secluded, the cottage is within easy driving distance to Brevard, Hendersonville, and Asheville, which was a big plus for us, as heavy rain prevented us from partaking of the many outdoor opportunities in the area. This beautiful cottage is the perfect place to use as a base for such activities or to just relax and do nothing. We would definitely love to visit Shepherd's Chalet again!
