The parking space is short and on an 8 percent grade so parking was a little tricky at first. No guest parking space for my son so that he could visit. Thus the 4 rating. Otherwise the experience of a quiet and peaceful experience was excellent.

TINY cabin. Lots of cute updates. Nowhere to put luggage or groceries. No dishwasher or ice maker. Never had to sign 11page document for Air BnB. Informed may have to pay $250 if turned the air below 70 (in mid-June), if AC system malfunctioned after setting below 70??? Ants in the kitchen, lots of ants. Maintenance brought ant baits several hours after notification. Was told they had HVAC issues elsewhere and our ants were not priority.

Garden Nest is a true gem! I was looking to book a brief stay in the mountains but didn't want to be in the middle of nowhere. This cute spot is about 8 minutes from downtown with a super easy drive to get there. It was extremely clean and outfitted with very thoughtful amenities such as a Keurig coffee maker (along with coffee pods and creamers), kitchen items to cook, luxurious linens and towels, and a welcome book with great information. Garden Nest shares the property with another small cabin located just behind it, and a larger A-frame home next door. However staying there by myself I felt like I was in my own little world. There is no dishwasher so next time I would just pack some disposable plates (sharing in case you don't like hand washing dishes). Definitely recommend booking this quaint yet comfortable cabin!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful stay! The home was peaceful, spotless, and exactly as described. The location was perfect—quiet yet close to downtown Hendersonville. Check‑in was smooth, communication was excellent, and everything I needed was provided. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this lovely cabin to others.
