Beautiful bungalow and great location
This property is amazing. Beautifully decorated. Very modern clean touches through tout. Comfortable king size bed, lots of closet space, and a big space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to prepare meals but too many good restaurants nearby. We loved being able to walk to downtown. The front porch was comfortably furnished and was fun to watch the comings and goings at the High School across the street. Never heard any noise from there. We appreciate the opportunity to stay here and also the bottle of wine Emily left us. A perfect place to explore the Asheville and surrounding towns. Thank you.

Best VRBO Experience!!
From booking to checkout, I could not have asked for a better experience!! Emily found out I was bringing my friend for her 50th birthday and offered to decorate the cottage for me so I could surprise her. The communication was extremely good, the place had everything we could possibly need, it was immaculate, the beds were comfortable, it’s walking distance from Main Street and all the shops and restaurants….my best friend was absolutely thrilled and I could not have done it without Emily! There’s honestly no reason to book anywhere else than here when in Hendersonville!

Wonderful Bungalow
My husband and I spent four nights in the lovely Bearcat Bungalow. The home was exactly as pictured and described. Emily was easy to communicate with and readily available to offer assistance. We enjoyed exploring the downtown area and dining in many of the restaurants, all within an easy 15 minutes walk. Parking was easy, and venturing to local wineries and taking a tour of The Carl Sandburg Home were very accessible. We would definitely recommend a stay in this well appointed bungalow.

We had a great time and we were blown away by the charcuterie board Emily prepared for us. Everything we needed was provided! The house is located near all of our favorite places we like to visit.

Amazing location with FAB hosts
We love, love, love this cottage! Easy walk to downtown for shops and restaurants. Or dine in with the extremely well-equipped kitchen. Fast internet with so many thoughtful touches like k-cups for the coffee, plenty of dishes, etc. all the conveniences of home except for laundry. Absolutely the most comfortable beds we’ve encountered yet!

Quiet Comfort
For being across the street from a high school, we found the Bungalow to be very quiet in the mornings as we did not hear the school traffic at all (we weren't there for school release). Easy access, felt safe. The bed was very comfortable in a cozy room. Electronic access is available everywhere with plenty of outlets, and WiFI is also available, but we did not use it. The weather was not very cooperative, but it was mid-December. Fully stocked kitchen if you were to cook, nice appliances. A definite return consideration.

Wonderful Surprise
With the unit being 100 years old we were crossing our fingers. We were trilled to find that the bungalow was exceptionally clean. The fans in the bedroom were much appreciated and keep the bedroom to the coolest of desired temperature! Huge plus. Loved the location and easy to walk and enjoy the downtown and some good restaurants. Look forward to a return in the future.

Happy in Hendersonville
What an amazing place! I am hesitant to share how great this listing is because I don’t want to get blocked out! :). Emily did an amazing job designing this 2 bedroom 1 bath rental. It has a great style, well appointed, comfy beds, and perfect for a family with pets. The downtown area is walkable plus it’s also quiet especially when school is out. The unit has it’s own parking so with the High School across the street, you have no worries. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with Emily. We’ll be back! Hendersonville is so central to much of what the area has to offer - 30 minutes to Chimney Rock, Brevard, Asheville and Pisgah Nat’l Forest.

Beautiful Bungalow
We took a quick weekend trip to Hendersonville to run in the Jump Off Rock half marathon and wanted to find a house close to town. We had great communication from the property owner immediately after booking. Upon arrival, we were blown away by how beautiful the home was. It was super clean with wonderful decor. The owner has carefully curated a space to feel like a home away from home (beautiful plants, wonderful amenities, coffee/wine, etc). The bed and linens were super cozy, there were plenty of bathroom necessities and the kitchen was fabulous. This was an incredible find and the owner is an absolute gem! Would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in the Hendersonville area.

Bearcat Christmas
The trip to Hendersonville was centered around the downtown Christmas Weekend. Cartiage rides and hot cocoa on Friday night to a nite time Christmas Parade Saturday night. I wanted a pet friendly home close to downtown. The Bearcat Bungalow was the perfect location. Clean and so quaint, can't wait to go back next year. The owners are awesome, there for every question and direction that us old people needed. Thank you for a great weekend.....
