Great location, clean, owner made sure we had everything we needed during our stay.

We enjoyed five days in Flat Rock. Relaxed, which was the main focus of our trip. The house was perfect, and just what we needed to relax and enjoy our time away.

Relaxing get-away

We greatly enjoyed our stay. This was a quiet, comfortable respite after a day of festival going or hiking. All of the destinations we wanted to visit in the area were within a 20-30 minute drive. Definitely recommend.

Nice Stay

We visited for the apple festival in Hendersonville. The place is a 2 bedroom basement apartment and was as described on the site. It was clean and well stocked and the owners were quick to reply to any questions. They were friendly and had many suggestions for restaurants and things to do. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend to friends.

Golfing in Hendersonville

The cabin was very comfortable and clean and only about 7 or 8 minutes from Hendersonville. It was a great place to come home after a day of golfing. The showers were terrific. Hendersonville is a charming area with a handful of outstanding restaurants. I would do it all again. Our host were very friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic Digs!

An outstanding VRBO property! The accommodations were fantastic in very way; from the beautifully done interior to the bedding and cleanliness. Great TV with channels to satisfy all. Super atmosphere to sit and enjoy the nice coffee and snack selections. The proprietor, Steve, was great to work with. Very accommodating with questions we had. You could immediately see that he was interested in making our stay the best. Fantastic digs and proprietor. I highly recommend both

All that you could want

Mountain retreat between Saluda and Hendersonville was the perfect starting point for day trips in the surrounding area. Historic Hendersonville has plenty to see, eat and drink, while state parks and wineries offer great day trip adventure. The host/hostess were awesome. The place itself was everything as described. Clean, full of amenities, snacks, waters, coffee, grill, and TV with more viewing options than you could use. Highly recommended. We would do it again, and again.!

Tranquility, true to its name, provided a quiet, restful getaway with a cozy cabin feel and a woodsy view. The apartment was very clean and the kitchenette included cooking appliances needed if eating in otherwise eateries were nearby. Master bedroom was large with sitting area, fan and comfy queen bed. Master bath was a little small but adequate. Outside sitting area was provided although could use a little sprucing up. Overall experience was excellent and the host’s communications were very timely and helpful. Enjoyed our stay!

Great Getaway

The property was better than described. We absolutely loved our weekend getaway. The amenities and WiFi were perfect for our group of four. Steve was an exceptional host. His communication was excellent and he made certain the directions were clear. He also went beyond expectations by helping us with an issue we experienced while traveling as well as invited us to a bonfire on the property. Steve and the property are completely welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed our time so much that we intend to stay again next year. I highly recommend this property.
