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!
I enjoyed my stay immensely. My host was incredibly responsive when I ran into a slight issue. The neighborhood felt very safe and the house was clean and comfortable. I would stay again the next time I am in town.
Very nice older home in the historic heart of Hendersonville was perfect for our stay. Excellent location. Nice quiet neighborhood. Linens, towels and kitchen well stocked. It was easy for us to get around to places we needed to go from its location. The property manager was very responsive.
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
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.
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.
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.
Our family absolutely loved our stay! The location was wonderful and the cottage was comfortable and cozy. It was exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were great with communication and stocked the home with all the essentials. We look forward to renting this multiple times a year!
Rented this for visiting sister and her husband. Wanted to avoid hotels and give them more of a local experience. I found the host attentive and easy to reach.
This cottage was so comfortable, very clean, spacious, close to town and in a great neighborhood. Easy walk into town and easy to get to hiking, wineries, etc. - highly recommend for a short or long stay.
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
Amazing property and town. There are so many great food and drink places in walking distance. There are also amazing hikes all around the home. We loved the space and enjoyed both porches!
Loved our short stay at this sweet cottage in beautiful Hendersonville. The cottage is located close to downtown and a stones throw from the Ecusta Trail. The hosts were responsive and the whole process was easy. I heartily recommend.
