You can tell it was just remodeled. The woodwork, cabinets, flooring and bathrooms all looked brand new. The pellet grill had never been used. Would highly recommend this location.

The house was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels and there was a kcup coffee maker. The sheets were scratchy and we had to ask about the WiFi password. The 10 digit code on the door was a little tricky entering each time but enjoyed the view and sounds of the stream from the front porch.

Spring escape

The house was very roomy. It’s more like a nice cottage than a house IMO, but was perfect for our needs. It’s not really possible to walk anywhere from the house, so a trip into town required the car. I would certainly stay there again.

Scenic retreat

We had a wonderful time at Sunshine Cottage. We loved watching the birds feed and catching lightening bugs. Lots of room to spread out and comfortable beds. It was very close to all the areas we wanted to visit The driveway entrance is steep and recommend a high clearance vehicle. The strap for the trash can was not there so I borrowed a bungee cord to keep animals out of it at night. Overall, a great place to stay.

Exterior view of property is misleading. You have to cross a one vehicle "bridge" on the property to access home. Home is on a steep incline. One parking spot is beside a retaining wall that is close to the drop off to the creek. Creek advertised as a 6 min walk but is in front of home. The other parking spot will require you to use your emergency brakes. Maneuvering with your vehicle (i.e., backing up, turning around) on this property is not for the average driver.

Sonshine Cottage

The best thing about this place is the location. It's a secluded area yet close to a lot of things. It's old and the furniture could definitely use some updating. I would also think that the owner could break down and fix the ice machine in the refrigerator. We've stayed there three times and are coming back in October for a month. There are also two lights out in the house, one above the TV in the living room and one at the far end of the kitchen near the laundry room. There were also out when we stayed there last October. Not a big deal but things that should be checked and fixed.

Book it, you'll love it!

Wanted to stay near friends who live in Laurel Park. Perfect house/perfect location. 3 adult “girls”, each with our own bedroom. The HUGE second bathroom has a private sink/toilet adjacent to each of the two bedrooms with a shared but private bath/shower in between. Great set-up. Each room also has an extra sleeping space, either a twin bed or chaise. The view from the back room with all the windows looks down into Hendersonville. Neighbors are close, but you can’t even see them for the mature Mountain Laurel. Check out time is 10am and the cleaning crew arrives at 10am on the dot! Probably the most practical thing is that there are no steps into the house. Zero entry which is nice when you’re hauling luggage, etc. Would definitely love to stay here again.

The place looked cute from the outside but the inside smelled horrible. It smelled of must and mold. The bed room and the bath room to the left of the entrance was the worst. I had to sleep on the couch in the living room because the mold in that room was making me sick because I’m allergic to mold. The other bedroom just smelled musty but we’re tolerable. It needs to be aired out and something needs to be done with that bedroom that has the moldy smell.

Relaxing in the Sonshine

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage. Although it was close to town, the location was lush and peaceful. I love old houses and felt at home the moment we walked in the door. My only negative comment is the driveway. I felt it was misrepresented in the listing photos. Some warning about the steepness and rockiness of it would have been helpful. Since we sometimes travel on a motorcycle, the driveway would have been a problem for us in getting to the house.
