What a beautiful and well appointed cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed watching happenings across the street (especially soccer and football matches) at the high school. Surprisingly quiet at night despite being near to hospital and high school. Fantastic location to walk downtown and enjoy shops and restaurants. Great front porch to dine or visit. Thank you!

New Year's visit

This was an easy and convenient rental. Everything was just as described. The location was perfect for walking downtown. The owner was extremely helpful and easy to contact. The property itself was interesting because it was a 100-year-old house that had been remodeled and they did a wonderful job! The property was very clean and even had Christmas decorations!

Terrific Bungalow & Location

Just a few blocks to downtown, this cute little house has all the amenities you could ever need. Larger than we needed for just us (a couple & our dog) it’s 2 BR plus foldout couch. Fully stocked kitchen with coffee, appliances, dishes, all linens, etc. Nice front porch for morning coffee, a nap or evening cocktail. Highly recommend this atay!

Quiet, comfy home just a quick walk to downtown

We had never stayed in Hendersonville before, and we cannot wait to go back! The cottage location is perfect - such an easy walk to restaurants, bookstore and other shops downtown, which is very clean, pretty, and family-friendly. We loved the artsy bears on every corner and the gorgeous flowers everywhere. There is much to do nearby, too - we enjoyed hiking in Dupont State Forest, meandering through Bullington Gardens (botanical), watching a play at Flat Rock Playhouse, and experiencing the Thursday Rhythm & Blues concert series downtown. But the cottage was the best part of our trip. It was as comfortable as being at home and is just such a cool, old home. Every room is amazingly roomy, including the front porch. It's possible we spent more time outside on the porch than inside. We only used one bedroom, and its bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were fully stocked with everything we needed and more. The owners truly thought of everything! The bottle of wine was a sweet touch. Parking couldn't be more convenient, and the neighborhood felt very hometown-ish. Bearcat Bungalow is truly one of the best properties we ever visited.

Cute Bungalow

Loved the Bearcat Bungalow! We were able to walk to restaurants and shops in the downtown area. The bungalow was nicely decorated with everything you need. The huge covered porch was a daily hangout in the morning and evenings. I would recommend this great rental. We enjoyed live music, good food and shopping during our stay. Will be back!!

Beautiful bungalow and great location

This property is amazing. Beautifully decorated. Very modern clean touches through tout. Comfortable king size bed, lots of closet space, and a big space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to prepare meals but too many good restaurants nearby. We loved being able to walk to downtown. The front porch was comfortably furnished and was fun to watch the comings and goings at the High School across the street. Never heard any noise from there. We appreciate the opportunity to stay here and also the bottle of wine Emily left us. A perfect place to explore the Asheville and surrounding towns. Thank you.
