Great Property and Hosts
We rented the Garden Cottage for a week in early October. The property was just as advertised. The cottage could not have been cleaner and was well appointed with everything we needed for a week's stay. The hosts could not have nicer or more accommodating in answering questions and providing information. We also had tour of the Woodland's cottage which was just as clean and nice as the Garden Cottage we stayed in.

Sweet little cabin in Laurel Park!
We stayed 2 nights in this lovely cabin near downtown Hendersonville. It’s old fashion wood construction with totally renovated interior. Clean and cozy, all appliances and bathroom fixtures new. We lacked for nothing but more time to stay and enjoy the cottage and view of the garden. Would definitely love to stay again. Our favorite spot in Hendersonville!

Perfect in every way!
This is without question the best holiday rental property we have ever stayed in. We couldn’t have been more comfortable. Robert and Georgina have really gone out of their way to provide everything that one could possibly need. Within 15 minutes of arrival, we were already planning when we could come back again.

Our saving grace!
After spending 3 very rainy days/nights in Pisgah Forest, we found this adorable cottage and it was everything we needed to make an anniversary trip even more special. It was truly a home away from home and had everything we could ask for, especially the washer and dryer to clean all of our damp dirty clothes and towels. This was probably one of the coziest, comfortable spots we have ever rented and we look forward to returning for a full week's stay. The gardening and walk ways are amazing, along with the screened in porch, all fantastic places to enjoy a morning cup of coffee and listen to the birds sing. Thank you for an awesome place!

I have stayed in the smaller cottage here before. The Garden Cottage is so very nice. From the stone fireplace to the cozy bedroom and glassed in porch, it is a magical place. Perfect location and beautiful grounds. Can’t wait to come back.
