Lovely environment

On the whole it’s a lovely place, all the necessities are on hand although a few extra bowls or serving dishes would be a plus. Only wish that the porch furniture, especially the cushions, were in better shape and there was a possibility of muffling the street sounds during the day so conversation on the porch was easier.

Spotless!

We have stayed in many vacation rentals& this property was hands-down the cleanest & most welcoming. All 4 of us commented how there wasn’t a spec of dust, scuff on the wall, cobwebs…that we’ve seen in other rentals. They had books/brochures/etc of things to do places to go from a local perspective. The property had a European, cozy feel. We had two sets of couples, so it was nice that each bedroom had its own full bathroom. We really liked the host’s electronic information portal that made finding important information, simple-from check-in & check-out procedures, WiFi name & password, door code,-all in one place, easy to navigate via tabs, etc. All the info we needed was so easily accessible on our phones. Highly recommend.

Beautiful accommodations with homey touches.

The first thing you see is the beautiful exterior of this historic stone building with an incredible covered porch. Then you walk in and the unit itself is just incredible. Very nicely decorated, spacious and clean. We appreciated the holiday decorations very much. We were there for the Christmas holiday.

Very nice 2-bedroom lower unit with full kitchen. They left us with fresh ground coffee (but no cream or sugar), and a bottle of white wine, which was very nice. It would have been nice to have more than 2 bath towels. Very clean, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed staying here!

Relaxing weekend

Although the weather was terrible while we were in Hendersonville, the home was warm and cozy. We had everything we needed and Elisabeth was super quick to respond when we had questions or an issue. She even brought us a bottle of wine from a local vineyard when there was a small problem that she had to come check on. The house was just right for us and our friends to share for a get-away weekend. We would happily rent again!

Classy Christmas

Of the houses I have stayed, this had the most class!! Both Mama and I were impressed by the attention to detail and personality that this place has. Thank you Ms. Elisabeth for the wonderful accommodations. We loved the Biltmore House at Christmas and your help with our visit to Asheville. The house was immaculate and the Christmas decorations added to the festive time of our visit. Can’t wait to bring our visit back in the Springtime to see the countryside with all the colors that the season brings. Appreciation and love for the stay!

Great home away from home

My husband and I stayed here with another couple and the arrangements were perfect. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, giving us equal accommodations and comfort. We were out most of the time while in town but enjoyed our late evenings and early mornings in the living room. Would’ve liked a second couch for lounging and comfort but were not hindered in relaxing and visiting. The home is beautifully decorated and includes much history throughout including a book about the origination of the property. The owners graciously provided local attraction information and a sweet welcome gift. The location is perfectly placed to visit Hendersonville as well as Sierra Nevada and Biltmore.

Perfect Getaway

Brightwater Garden is a beautifully decorated cottage with all the necessary amenities, high end linens and towels and impeccably clean. Location is great too. Elisabeth provided a book with things to do in the area, which we used when planning our day. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend and would stay here again when we visit the area.

Who knew Hendersonville was such a gem of a destination?? We loved this beautiful garden lower-level apartment for our family of four getaway this past weekend. Such a haven, beautifully decorated with a rich history, and perfect for our needs. We'll definitely be coming back and might try upstairs next. :) Looks like a cool place, too! Cheryl & Tom Dunn

What a great place to come home to!!

I stayed at this property on very short notice when traveling to Hendersonville for a family emergency. I am a frequent VRBO-renter in Hendersonville, but none of my usual places were available. Turns out, it could not have worked out better! Everything about the experience was perfect- and I mean EVERYTHING. Elisabeth was so accommodating and kind. I told her that I was to arrive after midnight and she made sure that there were plenty of lights inside and out so I didn't have to fumble about to get inside. And, there was a delicious little cake waiting (I was starving, so that was amazing!). So welcoming! As for the home, I can truly say that pictures don't do it justice. The house is beautiful, the rooms are large, the beds and linens are top quality, the decor is lovely. The kitchen is well appointed (even tho' the only thing I used was one wine glass...don't judge me :) In addition to tending to my family emergency, I had to work remotely and the wi-fi was fast and reliable. Even simple creature comforts - like a really good hair dryer, good water pressure in the shower, an uncomplicated front-door lock, a simplified check-out process, a lovely outdoor front porch - made it feel like home at the end of several very stressful days. The location is very pretty and just minutes from everything I needed. Thank you, Elisabeth, for your kind hospitality. You made a difficult trip so much more enjoyable, and I appreciate your consideration. I will definitely return!

The home was beautifully appointed, clean and extremely comfortable. It was wonderful and more than exceeded our expectations. The living areas were very nice as were the bedrooms. Elisabeth had all kinds of information available on area attractions and responded immediately to any questions via email or phone. She provided excellent suggestions regarding the dining choices in the area. Top notch service. We will definitely be going there again in the future! - Frank
