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 . . .

Peaceful and welcoming

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.

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!

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!

Lovely host, cute acommodations

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!

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!!

Great Accommodations

What you see is what you get. I have no complaints about this property at all. Very clean, and very private. I was concerned about it being attached to Maria’s home. My Mother and I never heard anything. I would stay here again. I am just sorry our trip was so quick because there is so much in the area to visit.

Sure better than hotel

In town visiting parents at nearby retirement community and needed a place to stay for a long weekend. Hotel options were OK but this villa option blew those away. Maria extremely gracious and available via phone or text. Had one minor paper supply issue and was resolved within minutes. Villa attached to main house but never once heard anything between walls or felt that we had to keep our voices down. Will 100% stay here next time. Loved the homemade cookies!!

Wonderful stay!

Maria was a great host. We were met with homemade cookies and treats which won my kids over right away. The house is easy to get to and very close to downtown Hendersonville. Everything was clean and well labeled. Instructions were clear. She had beautiful flowers in the back yard. Overall a great stay and we would stay again! We had kids with us and it worked great for a quick weekend trip where we were mostly out and about. She even had kid games which we played.

Great find in hendersonville

We have stayed at this property 3 different times and each stay was lovely. The property is clean, functional, has everything you need. The owner takes extra care to make sure your stay is excellent. We have been greeted with homemade cookies which were delicious. The scenery around the property is beautiful. Unfortunately each time we have visited we have not been able to take advantage of the beautiful serene surroundings due to our schedule. On a very positive exciting note as I was making coffee the first morning and looked out the window I got to watch a white squirrel just hanging out for a few minutes!!! I recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Handicap accessible and good location

Location was good. 30 minutes to Biltmore. 20 minutes to Jump off rock. 25 minutes to apple farms. 35 minutes to Lake Lure. 15 minutes to downtown Hendersonville. Close to lots of things to do. Nice street to take a walk on. Enjoyed the deer in yard and birds. Easy entry for walker or wheelchair (but must be able to transfer). Quiet… could not hear owners.

Cozy and Relaxing

My stay at Villa Marino by far exceeded my expectations. Upon arriving, we were met with a welcome basket complete with homemade cookies and a hand-written note from Maria, which was a really nice touch. As described, this site is set up with everything you need. There's even a selection of board and card games, which are a great way to unwind, disconnect from social media and connect with loved ones or friends. The location of Villa Marino is about as perfect as you can get if you're looking for a quiet getaway to unwind. Nature moments are abundant and you may even spot a white squirrel or two! If I have to be super nitpicky, I would love to see a coffee bean grinder included in the kitchen for those coffee connoiseurs who love to prepare fresh coffee rather than brew from already ground coffee. Again, that's just a wish as I know I'll be booking here again!

Serenity Awaits

My wife Denise and I stayed at Villa Marino while attending a wedding close by. We could not be happier with our choice. Maria and her mother's home was better than shown. You can't smell the fresh air or hear the birds singing or watch the hummingbirds dance from a picture. So many flowers and plants in bloom including a beautiful stretch of roses as you walked to the entrance. At night the lanterns gave the gardens a magical glow that was so relaxing. Inside was just as shown, actually a bit bigger. The bedroom was very comfortable, and we could keep the curtains pulled back to bring the surroundings inside since the property is very private. I would absolutely stay here again when in the area. Close to Hendersonville (shout out to McFarlan Bakery!!!), and Asheville as well as the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thank you for letting us come home each day we were there.
