Gaslight Cottage is absolutely charming! It was indeed the perfect place to relax and unwind for a long weekend getaway. Every amenity to make the stay feel like home away from home. Will definitely be returning. Thank you Morgan for making my stay stress free!
This was our second time to stay at Morgan's Gaslight Cottage. The house and grounds were beautiful as before, and everything was pristine clean! This is truly a home away from home with everything needed to make our stay comfortable. The house is a short walk to downtown Hendersonville and to the city walking trail. Morgan is a wonderful host! We highly recommend Gaslight Cottage!
Great place! Fully equipped and very comfortable. If you want relaxation, its the best, but it is also close to lots of activity and wonderful restaurants. The host also graciously provides games and magazines galore.
We spent a month at the cottage and it fit our needs well. The backyard was beautiful and our daughter loved playing out there all the time. There was enough room to host more family when they dropped by and we enjoyed the large dining room and living room area. Close to downtown Hendersonville, this is a great little spot.
We've stayed at the gaslight cottage before as we have family in the area to visit. It is a beautifully decorated rental and is wonderfully appointed with everything you could need AND MORE. The owner has thought of everything make the stay enjoyable!
The house was immaculate and very quiet. We have stayed at a number of places in Henderson over the last few years and this was the most comfortable and very well decorated. We will be back.

Could not have asked for more. Everything was fantastic. Excellent location. Morgan was great to work with. Will definitely stay here again next time I am in Hendersonville. Highly recommend this property. You won’t be disappointed.
This was our third stay at Gaslight Cottage and each time has been a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. The home is always very clean and cozy, and it is in a quiet neighborhood. It feels like a home away from home and Morgan is the best host. We look forward to staying again when we are in Hendersonville visiting family.
We were visiting Hendersonville for a baseball tournament and this location was perfect due to space and amenities needed for a family of 4z Also, the proximity to downtown Hendersonville and Jackson Park worked well. The property is well kept and very clean. We would definitely stay here again!
This was an excellent place close to our law enforcement chaplaincy classes in Edynville. The house was a respite to come home to. The neighborhood was safe and we enjoyed walking at night.

Perfect home away from home
Morgan has gone above and beyond to think of everything needed to make Gaslight Cottage feel like home. The fall leaves were amazing and our family enjoyed a week of fun, laughs and nature! We came home to a warm and comfy home that made the memories even better.
Cozy and comfortable, with movies and games to entertain ourselves. Super-comfortable beds. A welcome basket from the host was unexpected and most appreciated. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we visit Hendersonville.
Had the comforts of home. Unique decor, made it warm and inviting. Drinking morning coffee in the sunroom was a delight. Will stay again if in the area. Morgan had the best dinner recommendations. Thanks
This was the most amazing cottage experience. From the intricately placed decor, to the vintage Southern antique feel. We will never forget the kind hospitality and amazing detail placed in every part of making our experience amazing. The gift basket as well as the amazing customer service is just a small portion of why we love Gas Light Cottage and will definitely return as well as recommend in the future. Great location and charm!
Comfortable & cozy. Loved mornings in the sunroom or out in the yard. Walking distance to downtown Hendo. Great place in a quite neighborhood. Morgan was very hospitable; from his lovely welcoming gift basket, to prompt responses. We enjoyed our time & can't wait to be back!
Such a cute, fun house to enjoy with my three sisters! Very quiet neighborhood. Everything was spotless and comfortable. Easy to find and get around the area. Easy drive to downtown, Pisgah Forest, The Biltmore, and a few consignment stores. Would live there in a minute!

Thank you so much Janice! I am so happy you and your sisters enjoyed Gaslight Cottage. Please come back anytime!
I seriously can not recommend Morgan and Gaslight Cottage enough. Morgan has done an exceptional job with the cottage. It is beautifully decorated and you can tell much thought was put in to what one might possibly need during their stay. You can not ask for a better location either. It was so convenient to Downtown Hendersonville and a short drive to all the local must sees.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this lovely home! Morgan was above and beyond in welcoming us-not only with a overflowing goody basket-but with care and kindness-checking in to make sure we were comfortable-but, also offering advice re: restaurants-and activities.
We loved the space-and hope to return!
The host Morgan is great, very helpful and responsive for check-in, and -out. This place is conveniently located near downtown Hendersonville. The small kitchen is adequately provisioned, and there is laundry and other amenities. The layout of the house is interesting, which means it probably had a revision or two in its life. Overall highly recommended.
We have stayed at many rental properties and very picky when searching for a house. This has been by far the best experience we have had. The cottage was exactly as described, very clean, and felt like being at home. We didn't want to leave. Morgan was the best host. We are looking forward to visiting family in Hendersonville again soon and staying in Gaslight Cottage.

Perfect in Every Way!
This was the perfect stay. Loving furnishings and a beautiful front & back yard. Every detail was attended to and it made for such an easy place to stay. Loved the small veg garden out back as well as the firepit. Owner even left a bag of marshmallows should we want to use them. Owner was very gracious and reached out the day of our stay to make sure we did not have any questions. Clean and updated. Will definitely book again.
