The Chalet Club
Welcome to The Chalet Club, secluded on a mountainside with spectacular views of Hickory Nut Gorge. Located in a region renowned for its mild twelve-month climate, our rate packages provide a carefree vacation environment with either a full country breakfast and a wide array of recreational venues or simply lodging. Since 1934, our hospitality formula has been carefully developed by multiple generations of the Washburn family for unparalleled relaxation and recreation. The accommodations are comprised of the Chalet and seven guest cottages or varying size that are secluded, yet mutually accessible. Seven miles of wilderness hiking trails within the new Chimney Rock State Park originate at our private portal just outside the Chalet's front door. Two Plexicushion tennis courts and a platform tennis court are nestled into the mountainside above the main building. At our waterfront facilities, the Club's guests enjoy a flotilla of boats including canoes, kayaks, and motorized boats. Chalet WaterSports provides water-skiing oportunities. Anglers enjoy fishing for bass in the lake as well as trout in the streams. Horseback riding, Golf and the Biltmore Estate are also close-by.
