We enjoyed a quiet weekend away at Hilltop Nest. The house was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the house had everything we needed. We enjoyed a fire one night too. The only issue was the driveway - it is very steep and our front wheel drive almost didn't make it up. Just a heads up.

Quiet Stay

Good location and a quiet spot that is close to restaurants and hiking. The heating/cooling was a bit difficult to get right with the mini splits.

Perfect weekend getaway for apple picking

The perfect spot— close to Main St Hendersonville and nearby orchards. Adorable cabin with beautiful craftsmanship and all the little touches—thank you for the bottle of wine and s’mores supplies!! Immaculately clean and loaded with everything we needed. Our only regret was not having more time there!!! We will be back!!

Small and Perfect

My wife and I both really enjoyed our stay here. It is small but the space is functional. We liked the projector screen, although it is very difficult to see it during the daytime. The shower was nice and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Cute and cozy

We loved this little cabin! It is just so adorable. Well decorated, with lots of unexpected amenities, such as a complimentary bottle of wine, gourmet popcorn, supplies for s’mores, and enough Keurig coffee to last the entire stay. We had a small issue at check-in, but it was remedied quickly. I would recommend this cabin highly to any couple looking for a romantic getaway to the Hendersonville area.

Great getaway!

Super little spot tucked away near downtown. Really high quality materials and workmanship used in the recent renovation. Does not feel cheap or thrown together like some rentals. Lots of attention to little details. Awesome fire pit with plenty of wood and everything to get it started, smores stuff, comfy bed, great porches and outdoor areas, really just a perfect cozy little space. Careful on the driveway if you have a low car but you can make it!

Overall nice place. We enjoyed it. It was lil closer to residential homes than i preferred. And there needs to be better instructions on how to use the heat/air. They did respond quickly to explain the remote for the heat/air.

The home itself is cute, cozy, and very well-stocked, making it a comfortable place to stay. The loft adds charm, though it did get a bit warm at night even with the AC and fan running. The outdoor string lights are a lovely touch, giving the space a cozy glow in the evenings.A couple of things to note: the mosquitoes were quite aggressive, so be sure to bring repellent if you plan to enjoy the outdoor areas. The string lights are on a timer with no manual switch. And when exiting the driveway, just be mindful of the neighboring property, which might not feel as welcoming as the home itself.

Bad Customer Service

The email they sent with the check in information had the wrong address for the property. The lock box was not where they said it was. The property manager did not answer their phone. We finally got the maintenance man on the phone who talked us through all of the errors. It took almost an hour and we missed our dinner reservation.
