About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Prince

Host profile image
I am a Hendersonville native. I have never taken this beautiful place that I live for granted. The charm and beauty of this place is why people are flocking to soak it up. I love that I can show hospitality and facilitate others being able to enjoy my hometown and the surrounding areas.

Why they chose this property

This location is less than 10 minutes from Interstate 26 which helps you get to Asheville and all its amazing little surrounding towns. While on this little paved street, each cottage has its own privacy and is surrounding by woods. You feel like you are up in the mountains, yet you are close to all the best wineries, breweries, restaurants, orchards, hiking, kayaking, biking, and so much more.

What makes this property unique

I made each cottage an experience that I myself would love to stay in. They are each decorated personally with how I enjoy living....easy luxury. I'm proud to share these cottages with my friends and other guests. It makes me happy to see people appreciate my hometown.
