- Minimum stay:N/A

- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
'Gardener's Cottage' is located in Historic Flat Rock on the Beckon Ridge Estate. Overlooking a picture perfect pond, you will feel the stress drain from your soul as you listen to the sound of water running downstream and watch the fish swim casually about. How can this special place be so close to town?
Inside you will find the 1 BR & 1 bath cottage comfortable and cozy. Downstairs is a fully equipped kitchen and dining area overlooking the pond & living room with 32 inch flat screen TV. The furniture is comfortable and practical.
Up the spiral stair (or the exterior steps) is the lovely bedroom with queen sized bed and bathroom with stall shower and laundry area. The cottage has central air and heat and is bright and airy.
Sit outside the bedroom on the small covered balcony to enjoy your morning coffee, evening cocktail or to read a book. It is a lovely private space overlooking the pond, dam and grounds.
While walking along the stream & around the pond (you may stay on the paved drive if you prefer), remember to stop for a bit to sit on a bench or one of the landscape walls and notice how nature surrounds you. The wonderful wildlife and foliage is not to be missed.
If you come by motorcycle, you probably know that this whole area is a Bikers Bonanza with great rides in all directions! Cruise Little River Rd, to Crab Creek to Dupont Forest or to Pisgah Forest and the ultimate...the Blue Ridge Parkway. (For your convenience, covered bike parking is gladly provided at the main house.)
All that Historic Flat Rock has to offer, the shops at Little Rainbow Row, Carl Sandburgs Connemara Farm, the goats, the Playhouse are all less than 2 miles away...and Hendersonville's historic Main Street is only 3 miles away, with many excellent restaurants, shops, and exhibits...and Saluda, The Green River Gorge with kayaking, tubing, waterfalls fishing and NEW IN 2013: ZIP LINES OVER THE TREES all within a half hours drive.
You know, when the Gardener ran off with the Maid, we were concerned... But The Maids Quarters have been rented, and the Gardeners Cottage is ready for your arrival; so give us a call.
*The owners live in the main house. They enjoy their privacy and they will respect yours.

Beautiful setting! The pond is only feet from the front door. The hammock is a little bit further - but not much. Relaxing, comforting, enjoyable. The place is super clean - literally new! The music, the welcome basket... all personal touches that really made us feel like old friends! The Inn Keepers are warm and friendly! We will return!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: We love Gardener's Cottage too. In fact, the reason we decided to offer it to guests is to share it. Getting a review like this makes it all worthwhile.

Thank you for sharing your "labor of love" with us! The Cottage on the Pond was perfect for a little Spring Break Getaway! The cottage was perfect and the extras (basket with goodies, stocked kitchen, and everything else) made it even better! The surprise visitors (Canadian geese) were a treat! We were able to watch them build their nest and the female lay her eggs! We loved exploring the area (Flatrock and Hendersonville)! Thank you again! We would like to return (perhaps in the fall)!Owner response: We are thrilled that you had such a good time at Gardener's Cottage. It really is a wonderful place and thank you for being such nice guests. Flat Rock and Hendersonville do really have a lot to offer.

Our Christmas vacation was spent in the Gardner's Cottage. It was a great location, nice and quiet but also centrally located between shops/ restaurants and beautiful hiking trails with waterfalls.We had complete privacy but yet Victor made his self readily available if we had any questions. When we arrived they had us a basket of local gifts, jam, wine, and honey with plenty of information on surrounding areas to visit. The cottage has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. We cooked the entire week and we were able to save a lot of $. The pond is a beautiful view to wake up to and there are plenty of areas to go and read a good book. Very relaxing vacation, Thanks Victor!Recommended for: Romantic getaway.
Owner response: Cindy, it is wonderful to have visitors from The Gulf enjoy the Mountains of Western North Carolina. Yes we do have great waterfalls and hiking. And our weather has been mild enough to enjoy them... even at the end of December! Gardener's Cottage is a great place at any time of year. Our goal is to provide our guests with a "Home Away from home"...Thanks for the great review and being such nice guests. Please come again.

The cabin is located in a lovely and peaceful setting. The location is great, just a short drive to the shopping and restaurants of Hendersonville. The cabin is well furnished and equipped, with thick towels, soft premium bedding, and thoughtful touches like tea bags, sugar, and laundry cubes. We enjoyed the basket of local goodies, and especially liked the little boxed chocolates. Vic was responsive and helpful with restaurant suggestions like the excellent pizza and service at the Flat Rock Wood Room. An all around lovely stay. Thank you!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Wow! nice review. Yes , the setting IS lovely and peaceful. We are glad that you appreciated the location of Gardener’s Cottage being private but not isolated and our attention to the needs of our Guests. We’re glad that your stay was enjoyable. Please come again.

We would highly recommend the "Cottage on Pond" to anyone. The property was clean, new and had everything we could want. Additionally the owners went above and beyond our expectations with a welcome basket with items from the local bakery, vineyard and general store. The location was very convenient for day hikes in Dupont Forest and to the spectacular views of Chimney Rock. The nearby towns of Hendersonville and Flat Rock offered plenty of dining options. Overall we'd love to go back and would highly recommend this cottage.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Gardener's Cottage IS a wonderful mountain escape. It's gratifying to have guests love the place as much as we do.

Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: We are formerly from Long Island and the Catskill Mountains in NY. When the kids moved on we knew it was time for us to go too. We are semi retired and from the mountains, so WNC was an easy transition. We are just loving it here and hope you will too.
Why the Owner Chose Flat Rock:
We fell in love with this home and with Flat Rock. We are pleased to offer Gardeners Cottage for your vacation stay.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
The grounds, the pond, the stream, distance to town, watching the water trickle over the dam. You too will love Gardener's Cottage.
