This place has a really relaxed feel to it. It was comfortable and had everything you need. It has a laundry downstairs in the basement. It has a kitchen with all the appliances. It's really close to town. Definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed.

This was my third stay in a quiet house in a great location. I found it relaxing, and the closeness to downtown restaurants meant no parking issues, although the kitchen is well suited to home meal preparation. Compared to increasingly expensive hotels, the value of staying here, which is like having your own house in Hendersonville, remains high.

Vacation Getaway

We were looking for a good place to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary and this place is perfect! Great neighborhood and small, well kept house within walking distance of Hendersonville and short driving distance to multiple tourist places like Asheville, Maggie Valley and Cherokee. We’ve actually stayed here multiple times and always check the availability when looking for a place to stay.

Relaxing home to stay in

Beautiful cottage and beautiful surroundings! Wonderful place to relax and unwind. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a cottage near downtown. The bed (and pillows) were super comfortable and the cottage was spotless when we got there. Looking forward to booking another stay at this cottage sometime in the near future.

Excellent stay at Maple Glen Cottage!

My wife and I were quite pleased with our stay at the Maple Glen Cottage in Hendersonville, NC last week. The home is very clean and neat with nice furniture and a kitchen complete with pots, pans, dishes, etc. The beds were comfortable as well. Located in a very nice historic area of Hendersonville and close to downtown, it was the perfect place to stay. Communication with Bobby is so kind and professional and we find him to be quite honorable. We will most certainly be back!
