About this property

Villa Marino - Escape to the mountains

You can relax in a safe neighborhood on a quiet street about 5 minutes from downtown Hendersonville. Come to explore our beautiful mountains, lakes and waterfalls. No matter the season, there’s so much to see and do. You will love our charming, historic town with its unique shops and great restaurants.

The apartment is quiet and cozy. The queen-size bed has a very comfortable memory foam mattress. The kitchen has new countertops and is fully equipped. You will have your own totally private patio area where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the cardinals and hummingbirds in the rock garden. You will probably see our white squirrels and maybe some deer in the back yard. Enjoy a glass of wine by the firepit on the patio in the evening. The laundry room has a full size washer and dryer and you will appreciate the extra half-bath.

This non-smoking apartment is pet-free and fragrance-free for the benefit of those who have allergies. I operated a cleaning service and I personally give the apartment a thorough cleaning and disinfecting after each guest. I am very fussy about keeping it clean and tidy.

This cozy apartment was originally a mother-in-law apartment attached to the main house, where we live. The apartment has a completely separate entrance for your privacy and since I live on site, if you need anything, you can just call, text or ring the bell. But don't worry - you won't hear us and we won't hear you. I'm in and out - quiet as a mouse . . .
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Clean and comfortable

This is such a charming place. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable and it had everything we needed for the weekend. It is also situated very close to downtown for easy access to shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch, there is a beautiful flower garden that attracts all kinds of wildlife that are fun to watch. We would stay here again!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay in Hendersonville. Fresh apples and cookies awaited us as we entered. The kitchen area was spacious and well stocked. The 2 outdoor patio areas were green and private, right up against a lovely forest. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Perfect location with the best host

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Marino and plan to be back! Maria has the villa stocked with all the essentials plus some thoughtful extras. The layout of the place made the most out of the square footage and the 1.5 baths really made the stay easy for 4 of us (2 adults, 2 children). The outdoor patio was a great and we can’t wait to visit in the late spring/early summer to enjoy the beautiful landscaping!!

Marie was a spectacular host - so sweet and helpful. The bed was comfy and the kitchen well stocked for easy cooking. Our only complaint was lighting was dim for knitting…maybe consider 3 way bulbs for knitters, readers, crossword puzzlers!

Peaceful

This apartment was perfect for us. We were looking for somewhere quiet and comfortable but within an easy distance to area attractions. As a bonus we got a space that was absolutely spotless, a generous size and remarkably private. Maria was an exceptional hostess who really anticipated our needs but respected our space. Thank you, Maria, for a wonderful get-away!
