This was the sweetest cottage we ever had the pleasure to stay at. From the beautiful old wood floors, the comfortable bed with fantastic linens, the bathroom with great shower, kitchen with anything that you could possibly need and charm, charm, charm. This cottage is pet friendly but we found no trace of doggie odor or hair. Everthing was spotless.There is an large electric fireplace that makes the living area so cozy and warm. There is a big comfy chair along with the loveseat which was also very comfortable. We could go on and on.Thank you Carolina Cottages for making our visit so memorable. We'll be back soon we hope.

Enjoyed my stay - best aspect - in historic district and close to downtown & local YMCA.The Sweet Pea was well maintained and decorated. Kitchen well-equipped and usable. My challenges - advertised as accommodating 2-3 people - only if #3 sleeps on the floor in a sleeping bag. The living area needs another comfortable chair, a small loveseat was nice, but no other option other than dining chairs or wooden hardback chair provided. Also - the toilet paper and trash bags provided were inadequate - ran out after only a few days - so had to go out and purchase extra for the remainder of my visit. I would recommend, but only for 1-2 people.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your review. We do strive to provide a well maintained and clean cottage. Also, thank you for pointing out your challenges. We have already added another comfortable chair. We have always provided a set number of starter supplies but if more are needed, we have plenty and will deliver more upon request. Lastly, as in all of our cottages, if there are more guests than beds we offer super comfortable, high end air mattresses at no charge to make sure everyone has a wonderful night sleep. The biggest thing for all of our guests is to let us know the minute there are questions or concerns. We are only a couple of blocks away from most of our cottages and we will do everything possible to make your stay a great one.

GREAT SMALL COTTAGE THAT IS CLEAN, QUIET AND COMFORTABLE

MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED THIS COTTAGE. THE PICTURES ON THIS WEB SITE ARE ACCURATE AND CURRENT. THIS IS THE CLEANEST, MOST WELL EQUIPPED AND BEAUTIFULLY FURNISHED COTTAGE WE HAVE STAYED IN. THE KITCHEN HAS EVERYTHING INCLUDING A DISHWASHER AND ICEMAKER. THE BATH HAS BEEN NEWLY RENOVATED WITH A TUB AND SHOWER AND THE STORAGE ROOM HAS AN OVERSIZED WASHER AND DRYER. WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US WHEN WE RENT IS A QUIET AREA, AN ABUNDANCE OF HOT WATER, A GREAT SHOWER HEAD, A COMFORTABLE BED,(WHICH BY THE WAY HAD TOP NOTCH LINENS), A LACK OF INSECTS AND MOLD, GREAT WIFI AND MOST OF ALL CLEANLINESS. HD TV WAS A BONUS AND WE EVEN ENJOYED USING THE DVD. THE LOCATION IS PERFECT AND CENTRAL FOR SIGHTSEEING. THE WALKING CONVENIENCE TO HISTORIC DOWNTOWN IS A PLUS AS WELL AS THE QUAINT SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD THE COTTAGE IS LOCATED IN. VISITORS SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WEEKLY EVENTS DOWNTOWN AS WELL AS THE DOWNTOWN RESTAURANTS. WE WERE NEVER DISAPPOINTED. THERE IS ALSO A GREAT PIZZA PUB WITHIN 3 BLOCKS AS WELL AS A POST OFFICE FOR SHIPPING NORTH CAROLINA GIFTS TO FAMILY. WE BROUGHT OUR SMALL FAMILY DOG WITH US AND THE BONUS OF HAVING HARDWOOD FLOORS MADE CLEAN UP OF GRASS AND DIRT TRAMPED IN EASY. MY HUSBAND HAS TERRIBLE ALLERGIES TO CERTAIN DOGS AND THE UNIT WAS SO CLEAN THAT IF THERE WAS A PET THERE PREVIOUS TO OUR VISIT THERE WASN,T ANY PET ODOR OR DANDER TO CAUSE HIM ANY PROBLEMS. THE ONLY RECOMMENDATION I COULD MAKE IS THE ADDITION OF A COMFORTABLE CHAIR IN THE LIVING ROOM. THE ONLY COMFORTABLE SEAT IS THE SOFA. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COTTAGE TO ANY COUPLE LOOKING FOR A QUIET STAY IN HENDERSONVILLE BUT CLOSE DOWNTOWN AND ALL ITS AMMENITIES. WE THANK THE OWNERS FOR A WONDERFUL STAY

Sweet Pea cottage was a great find!!! We enjoyed strolling historic downtown Hendersonville with it's quaint shops and great restaurants. We enjoyed all the activities that were within driving distance of the cottage and Hendersonville - downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Cherokee casinos, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. After a day of fun the cottage was nice, quiet and inviting. We will definitely be coming back to the cottage and to Hendersonville!

Small, Quaint, Cottage in Historic Hendersonville

Guest: TexasTravlrs (Rockport, Tx)
Date of Stay: 08/14/10 Review Submitted: 09/22/10

We spent a month here and enjoyed the convenience of being within walking distance to downtown, as well as in an area of historic homes which made morning and evening neighborhood walks a delight. The cottage is small, but suited for a couple. However, there IS NOT a full bath with tub/shower combination as listed...just a shower stall. The realty company was very helpful is making sure our needs were met. The high speed internet and tv channel/cable selection was excellent. The laundry room is a real bonus in a small cottage rental.

Romantic retreat

The Sweet Pea cottage was a great place to stay while in Hendersonville. Within a short driving distance to Asheville, Pisgah Forest, Dupont Forest, and lots of nature to explore. Shopping in Hendersonville is conveniently located a few short blocks away. The house is charming and situated in a quiet neighborhood. I would recommend bringing your own bath towels, wash cloths, and towels for outdoor use to supplement the items provided. The kitchen is stocked with just about anything you may need for cooking, including pots, pans, and cooking implements. However, there is no grill as listed in the description. Overall a very nice place to stay and I would recommend this property to a friend.

Owner response:Erica, thank you for taking the time to recommend the wonderful Sweet Pea Cottage. I am so glad you had a great time on your visit to our little corner of the world. Per your recommendations we have added more towels, wash cloths & have replaced the missing grill with a great Weber Silver grill. Thanks Again, Lee

A Great Little Cottage

Date of Stay: 05/16/10 Review Submitted: 05/26/10

My husband and I spent a week in this Sweet Pea of a cottage and really enjoyed ourselves and will go back the next time we are heading to Hendersonville. It is close to all the places we wanted to visit and it was great coming back after a full day of fun and going to the cottage where it was clean and quiet and comfortable. We could do as we pleased since there were all the conviences of home. This is a great place to stay and you should get to enjoy it yourself.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words. It is truly our mission to make our guests stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. We understand that after a long day of exploring all that our wonderful area has to offer that there is nothing better than returning to your home away from home and just kicking back and relaxing. You will discover that all of our cottages have been thoughtfully and carefully appointed to make your stay with us the best ever.
