This is an exceptional home - new, clean and very comfortable. We highly recommend and the hosts are so very helpful. Location is central to many area cool spots. Recommendations: YAM - yoga and spa (excellent), Horseshoe Farm - Silo restaurant (great), Cognitive Coffee (great spot and Di’s Pie’s (absolutely the best). Favorite wineries: Saint Paul’s and Stone Ashe. Beautiful area and home - we will be back. Thank you Bryan and Megan

Truly the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! The hosts thought of everything from comfy linens and lots of blankets, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, a super well stocked and luxurious gym, all the way to dog bowls and poop bags for the pups! I kept telling my husband I didn’t want to leave, I wanted to move in! Can’t recommend this stay enough especially if you’re traveling with a dog. The house was also totally spotless from base boards to ceiling vents. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Megan’s property was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. Its proximity to trail heads, orchards, breweries, and restaurants was extremely convenient, but the home itself made us want to stay put. This house is spotless, furnished well, and equipped with all of the essentials. The awesome home gym allowed us to start our days off in the right foot, and we also enjoyed relaxing on the porch and in the back yard. We absolutely loved this property and already want to plan our next visit!

What a great house and spot in Hendersonville! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot with awesome garage gym, sauna and cold plunge! The newly opened Ecusta trail was just around the corner which was great for morning runs and bike ride thru local rental company.

One of my all time favorite Airbnbs I came with my family for an apple picking getaway, and Megan’s home was an absolute gem. The location couldn’t have been better just 10 minutes to mainstreet, 15–20 minutes to the orchards we came for, and about 30 minutes to some of the most beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails Hendersonville has to offer. The house itself? Spotless. Truly the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment we stepped inside, it felt like home. The kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to cook, clean, unscratched pans, every essential utensil, a pantry full of seasonings, and spotless dishes. I even grilled up steaks one morning out back. The grill was perfectly cleaned and ready to use. The hosts thought of everything. Pellets for the fire pit, fire starting wood, batteries. You name it they thought of it. Zero complaints. Just wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved this house! It’s absolutely beautiful and the location was perfect to all of our favorite places in Hendersonville! A couple of our new favorites are now Pies by Di and Cognitive Coffee. The home gym and sauna really helped my husband and I stay on track with working out and being healthy while away from home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Gorgeous, extremely clean, very well decorated, well appointed home! One hour away from the best waterfalls in NC. The owners were very friendly and attentive. I would give this place 10/10. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a pristine clean, beautiful home with fast WiFi and dog friendly. Thanks Matthew and Megan
