Full Berne Duplex Chalet 4 Mins to DT AVL, 10 Mins to Blue Ridge Parkway, Dogs

The FULL BERNE is a unique getaway located just two miles from the excitement of Downtown Asheville. Nestled on small Beaucatcher Mountain, the property is surrounded by trees and nature, and is very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. When you rent The Full Berne, you have complete access to both levels of this well-appointed, pet-friendly vacation rental.

The Upper Berne offers two bedrooms, one with a King-size bed and one with a Queen-size bed, a full bathroom, and a combined living room and dining area. Enjoy the beautiful sunrises from the furnished, covered front balcony and side balcony.

The Lower Berne features a King-sized bedroom with a large closet and desk, a full bath, a living room, and a well-appointed kitchen with all the comforts of home. Relax on the screened-in, furnished porch and enjoy the wooded view, complete with an adjacent private, fenced-in dog yard.

The Upper and Lower Berne can be rented separately or together as the Full Berne.

Please Note:
Mountain roads can be steep and dark. The Berne Chalet is in a quiet, mountain subdivision on a tight, one-lane, circular road, with streetlights. If you are not comfortable with mountain driving, please plan your arrival during daylight hours.

Downtown Asheville is nearby; driving is recommended due to the busy road.

Amenities include an electric fireplace and a fenced-in pet yard accessible from the lower-level, screened-in porch.

No smoking, vaping, or candles are permitted.
