Need more space? A lower level with one king bedroom is available if you're interested in renting the entire duplex chalet. Contact us for the link. If the upper chalet is booked, check out the Lower Berne.

When booking, please list the number of people in your party and if you are bringing a dog. A pet fee will be added to your reservation.

Please note: Mountain roads can be steep and dark, and the Berne Chalet is situated on a tight, curvy, one-lane road within a quiet mountain subdivision. While short and includes streetlights, inexperienced drivers may find it challenging.

We recommend daytime arrival if you are uncomfortable with mountain roads. Downtown Asheville is nearby, but driving is recommended due to traffic. Amenities include an electric fireplace. Smoking, vaping, and candles are prohibited. There is no fenced yard.

Dog Policy: A dog fee applies, plus all applicable taxes. We allow up to two dogs with prior approval. Please provide their size and breed for registration. Be sure to note that you are bringing a dog when making your reservation.

Here's a polished version of the house rules regarding pets:

Dogs are welcome, but please note the following:
1. They must be at least one year old, and no aggressive breeds are allowed.
2. All dogs must have current vaccinations and flea treatments.
3. They must be kept on a leash and under the owner's control at all times.
4. Pets are not permitted on beds, couches, or chairs.
5. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs, and we ask that you do not flush pet waste down the toilet.
6. A dog fee will be applied to cover the cost of extra cleaning. We regret to inform you that we do not allow cats.
7. We love dogs, and we are happy to host your well-behaved dog.


Managed by a local, sustainable, and seasoned vacation rental team with over 20 years of five-star reviews, we provide ample support and information before your arrival.

We are also available during your stay to assist if needed, as you are booking more than just a home – you're experiencing genuine Southern mountain hospitality.

Thank you for considering staying with us! Darlene and Ron
