Historic Hendersonville NC - Walk to Town - Mountain Get Away

Mission accented furniture in a welcoming living room invites you to stretch out and relax. To help you unwind there is a 50 inch widescreen Smart TV with full streaming services. Free Wi Fi with high-speed internet is house wide and secure. Adjacent to the living room the kitchen has been upgraded with all new appliances that include microwave, stove/oven, refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare dinner for two or a banquet. The dining/breakfast room next to the kitchen features expansive views of the side and front yards. The southern exposure keeps it cool and green in the summer and bright and warm in the winter. Sleeps four in two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed. There is an additional cable TV in the master bedroom. The single bath has a tub and shower. A large sunroom is entered from either bedroom and opens onto the private back yard. A gas grill is always ready for some backyard fun and food. Downstairs there is a private office with a wireless printer/scanner, a reading nook, a game table and a day bed. A separate utility room with a washer/dryer and folding table, iron and ironing board is also located downstairs. Park your car off the street in the single car garage with remote door opener. The delightful yard with songbirds galore is there to enchant you and the occasional passersby who stroll or bike the friendly neighborhood.

Perfect spot!

This cottage was in a perfect location to quickly get downtown to shopping and restaurants yet it was quiet when it was time to relax at the end of the day. Bobby responded almost immediately to all communications. The property is kept immaculate and clean. The ability to store our bikes in a secure garage was a huge bonus. We would happily stay when in the area again. Thank you for making us feel at home!

Restful

We went to Hendersonville to show our support to all the people that suffered through the hurricane Helene. It was a heart warming experience. Not only was the house just perfect…size, cleanliness, and location. People in this community and surrounding g areas are super nice. Cannot say enough and we loved this house. And the owner was very easy and a step ahead of us checking in and out. Thanks and hope to return

Too few days

The house is a classic vintage two BR plus a nice basement office and laundry. The main floor is elevated, providing great views of a pleasant and picturesque neighborhood, walkable to downtown for most. It is well insulated and very quiet, conducive to a good nights sleep. Overall a relaxing, peaceful and accommodating accommodation. I will certainly return.

Wonderful Stay

My wife and I returned to our former hometown for a weeklong visit during the Masters Tournament, so we know Hendersonville well. If you like staying in the midst of a historic district within walking distance of historic downtown, then you’ll love this two bedroom cottage. The whole neighborhood is walkable among many lovely restored homes. Artisan coffee shops abound, as do artisan pubs and brewery’s. We particularly enjoyed the Trailside Brewery with a wide variety of beer choices and a food truck, as will the many casual restaurants, primarily on Main Street. You can shop and dine all within a one mile area. Of particular note is Sierra Nevada Brewery which is a ten mile drive from Hendersonville. If you want the full tour of Sierra Nevada, which I highly recommend, you’ll want to make reservations beforehand. I could go on about the easy accessibility to hiking trails, the Pisgah National Forest, the Blueridge Parkway, et al. Do a bit of research of the Hendersonville area and you won’t run out of fun outdoor activities. This comfortable, well furnished, very clean two bedroom cottage will provide all of the amenities you’ll need for your stay in this delightful visit to Western North Carolina.Gracious hospitality from the owners and the area will make you want to return. The one caution we would offer, if you are uncomfortable with several stairs at both entrances you might want to exercise caution. Otherwise, we cannot recommend this cottage more highly. Enjoy.

Great Little Adventure

I felt "safe" in this area of town and enjoyed watching the walkers and bicyclists going by on the sidewalk out front. The area had a well maintained feel/look about it. People obviously take pride in their homes/cottages.

Perfect home to explore downtown and all Hendersonville and surroundings

Wonderful, clean and well appointed home. We were central to all of our hiking and exploring and the house is in a cute neighborhood which is quiet and close to downtown. We could have walked but it was so easy to park downtown that we drove there. Prompt and easy communications with the owner and directions were easy. We would definitely stay there again when we return.

Overview

The location was excellent as it was walkable to the downtown and an easy drive to Asheville or the mountains . The area is quaint ,tree lined and safe. The house had some stains on the carpets and The furniture was soft, likely due to having many guests over the years. Nonetheless, it was a very convenient place to stay at.Host was very easy to reach and helpful
