  We had a marvelous time at the Kensington House. The decor was really nice, like it came from a cottage magazine photo. The back yard was great for our dog. The hot tub was in a private area beside the house, just off the back patio. There are several restaurants as well as downtown within about a mile. There is also a nice day spa about a two minute walk away. If you want something close to everything, search no further.

  We were immediately impressed as we entered this home. Very well furnished and comfortable is the best way for us to describe this property. It was much better than we expected and it served as a great home base for us as we enjoyed and explored the surrounding area. It was wonderful and so reasonably priced. The restaurants we visited offered unique menus and special treats. We all highly recommend Kensington House Cottage. Great place to call 'home" if you will be staying in the area for any reason.

  We spent 3 nights at the Kensington House and loved it. We had plenty of room and our time was very relaxing. The cottage was clean and nicely decorated. We look forward to a return visit.

  We made a last minute trip to Hendersonville and this place was perfect! It started with booking the cottage - I sent an e-mail via vrbo.com and received a response back within hours. Sandra was so easy going, helpful and sweet. The cottage itself was beautiful! It was so cozy comfortable - we made ourselves right at home. Another thing we appreciated was its proximity to downtown Hendersonville. This was a perfect getaway! Thank you!

  Our family of nine spent ten days at Kensington House. It was so clean and well-equipped. We loved grilling in the courtyard and relaxing in the spacious living room. The Dick and Jane style room was so cute and nostalgic! Thanks Cranmore for such a lovely home to stay in.

  We had rented another place through this agency, wanting to be "away from it all". The first place was truly a dump, so we were moved here. This place was better, but still dissapointing. It is on a very busy street so traffic sounds were constant day and night. There is a hot tub, but it is hidden behind a wooden fence and is surrounded by weeds and grass. It was full of leaves and sand. Needless to say, we had no interest in using it. There is a double fireplace with gas logs, but signage on it says only one side can be lit at a time. I will say the beds were comfortable, so that was a plus. But it was far from the relaxing get away that we desired.

  The house was nice and well kept, but there wasn't a hot tub and we couldn't figure out how to light the gas fireplace. When I contacted the owner regarding the hot tub issue, he didn't reply.

  Kensington was the perfect place for our family retreat. Everything was so clean and nicely decorated.It was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. The fenced yard was great for our children to play in. We enjoyed playing games next to the fire in the spacious living room - enough seating for all 9 of us!. Thank you for providing such a peaceful, pleasant home-away -from-home for us.
