Charming Home < 2 Mi to Downtown Hendersonville!

Cute but WET

I’m not one to leave a negative review, so I’ll start this out saying that the place was SO cute and in a great location. BUT I’m from Florida, so I’m no stranger to old houses and humidity but this place was so poorly ventilated that it stayed wet the whole time we were there. We went to Walmart & replaced the shower liner for $3 because it was covered in dark mold spots. The bed linens and towels were all damp & stayed that way even after drying them because it was so muggy in there that even the clothes in our suitcase got damp. Our books we brought got ruined and the pages turned wavy like we had taken them to the beach. If snacks were left open even for 30 minutes they got soggy. We spent a lot of money to stay here for a week and it was just really frustrating to have this kind of issue. We all felt sick from day 2 of being there and were sniffling and having itchy throats when we were in the property but as soon as we left during the day we felt better so there’s definitely some issues with this house that need to be addressed. Also the front door stuck so hard because of how humid it was that we had to hip check it to get inside and slam it aggressively to get it to close and lock properly. We loved the look of the place, the decor and and the location were great, but they need to put some preventative measures in place to tackle the humidity and mold.

Charm and location

I stayed 14 nights in this pet-friendly cottage. It was a lovely renovated old house, with a front patio and small front yard with a parking spot. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming as I walked the dog twice a day and enjoyed meals outdoors. The house was decorated in the shabby chic style with antiques and salvaged pieces of furniture. It had a large kitchen with enough equipment to cook meals at home. The beds were very comfortable in both bedrooms. The bed in the front room was elevated, which could be a consideration for less mobile guests. It’s not a modern, perfectly renovated interior, but it was pleasant enough and felt like home. We walked downtown many times for drinks or dining. There were great options and sidewalks all the way. I identified 149 moderate level hikes around the area, many with waterfalls, so there is plenty of outdoor activities possible for longer stays. The owners are working on improving the cottage. A few things could be better, but I would stay there again. Communication was easy.

Cozy retreat close to downtown

Our only complaint about our stay is it wasn't long enough. The house is well equipped to make yourselves at home.
