Beautiful bungalow and great location
This property is amazing. Beautifully decorated. Very modern clean touches through tout. Comfortable king size bed, lots of closet space, and a big space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to prepare meals but too many good restaurants nearby. We loved being able to walk to downtown. The front porch was comfortably furnished and was fun to watch the comings and goings at the High School across the street. Never heard any noise from there. We appreciate the opportunity to stay here and also the bottle of wine Emily left us. A perfect place to explore the Asheville and surrounding towns. Thank you.

Best VRBO Experience!!
From booking to checkout, I could not have asked for a better experience!! Emily found out I was bringing my friend for her 50th birthday and offered to decorate the cottage for me so I could surprise her. The communication was extremely good, the place had everything we could possibly need, it was immaculate, the beds were comfortable, it’s walking distance from Main Street and all the shops and restaurants….my best friend was absolutely thrilled and I could not have done it without Emily! There’s honestly no reason to book anywhere else than here when in Hendersonville!

Wonderful Bungalow
My husband and I spent four nights in the lovely Bearcat Bungalow. The home was exactly as pictured and described. Emily was easy to communicate with and readily available to offer assistance. We enjoyed exploring the downtown area and dining in many of the restaurants, all within an easy 15 minutes walk. Parking was easy, and venturing to local wineries and taking a tour of The Carl Sandburg Home were very accessible. We would definitely recommend a stay in this well appointed bungalow.

Weekend getaway with hubby
We had a great time and we were blown away by the charcuterie board Emily prepared for us. Everything we needed was provided! The house is located near all of our favorite places we like to visit. I’ve already recommended this property to my kids and will continue to recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area!

Amazing location with FAB hosts
We love, love, love this cottage! Easy walk to downtown for shops and restaurants. Or dine in with the extremely well-equipped kitchen. Fast internet with so many thoughtful touches like k-cups for the coffee, plenty of dishes, etc. all the conveniences of home except for laundry. Absolutely the most comfortable beds we’ve encountered yet!
