About this property

Historic Hendersonville NC - Walk to Town - Mountain Get Away

Charming and cozy 1940’s bungalow on a quiet tree shaded street in Hendersonville’s Historic West Side District. Just a brief walk to downtown and Main Street, the shopping and dining destination of choice for locals and visitors from afar. This private home offers convenience, comfort and true mountain style. Mission accented furniture in a welcoming living room invites you to stretch out and relax. To help you unwind there is a 50 inch widescreen Smart TV with full streaming services. Free Wi Fi with high-speed internet is house wide and secure. Adjacent to the living room the kitchen has been upgraded with all new appliances that include microwave, stove/oven, refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare dinner for two or a banquet. The dining/breakfast room next to the kitchen features expansive views of the side and front yards. The southern exposure keeps it cool and green in the summer and bright and warm in the winter. Sleeps four in two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed. There is an additional cable TV in the master bedroom. The single bath has a tub and shower. A large sunroom is entered from either bedroom and opens onto the private back yard. A gas grill is always ready for some backyard fun and food. Downstairs there is a private office with a wireless printer/scanner, a reading nook, a game table and a day bed. A separate utility room with a washer/dryer and folding table, iron and ironing board is also located downstairs. Park your car off the street in the single car garage with remote door opener. The delightful yard with songbirds galore is there to enchant you and the occasional passersby who stroll or bike the friendly neighborhood.

Sweet cottage in great location
Loved our short stay at this sweet cottage in beautiful Hendersonville. The cottage is located close to downtown and a stones throw from the Ecusta Trail. The hosts were responsive and the whole process was easy. I heartily recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Bobby Dowdeswell

Host profile image
Eugenia and Bobby Dowdeswell have lived in Flat Rock/Hendersonville for most of the last 45 years. Eugenia is retired from the Episcopal clergy having served the Diocese of Western North Carolina as Archdeacon for the last eight years of her ministry. Bobby is retired after 36 years of local medical practice as a physician pathologist and 5 additional years as a traveling locum tenens pathologist. They have two married children and five grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

Eugenia and Bobby have owned this property for 25 years enjoying it as a second home from time to time. Offering this delightful cottage as a VRBO has been a labor of love for both of them for the last five years. It is filled with many personal items and furnishings. This is Bobby's first year actually managing the property, as Nancy McKinley, the former Manager, is now retired.

What makes this property unique

As owners and, now, manager of Maple Glen Cottage, Bobby and Eugenia can utilize their longstanding knowledge of the property itself and its wonderful location to make each guest secure, happy and comfortable during their stay.
