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.

Best VRBO Experience!!
From booking to checkout, I could not have asked for a better experience!! Emily found out I was bringing my friend for her 50th birthday and offered to decorate the cottage for me so I could surprise her. The communication was extremely good, the place had everything we could possibly need, it was immaculate, the beds were comfortable, it’s walking distance from Main Street and all the shops and restaurants….my best friend was absolutely thrilled and I could not have done it without Emily! There’s honestly no reason to book anywhere else than here when in Hendersonville!

Wonderful Bungalow
My husband and I spent four nights in the lovely Bearcat Bungalow. The home was exactly as pictured and described. Emily was easy to communicate with and readily available to offer assistance. We enjoyed exploring the downtown area and dining in many of the restaurants, all within an easy 15 minutes walk. Parking was easy, and venturing to local wineries and taking a tour of The Carl Sandburg Home were very accessible. We would definitely recommend a stay in this well appointed bungalow.

We love, love, love this cottage! Easy walk to downtown for shops and restaurants. Or dine in with the extremely well-equipped kitchen. Fast internet with so many thoughtful touches like k-cups for the coffee, plenty of dishes, etc. all the conveniences of home except for laundry. Absolutely the most comfortable beds we’ve encountered yet!

Quiet Comfort
For being across the street from a high school, we found the Bungalow to be very quiet in the mornings as we did not hear the school traffic at all (we weren't there for school release). Easy access, felt safe. The bed was very comfortable in a cozy room. Electronic access is available everywhere with plenty of outlets, and WiFI is also available, but we did not use it. The weather was not very cooperative, but it was mid-December. Fully stocked kitchen if you were to cook, nice appliances. A definite return consideration.

With the unit being 100 years old we were crossing our fingers. We were trilled to find that the bungalow was exceptionally clean. The fans in the bedroom were much appreciated and keep the bedroom to the coolest of desired temperature! Huge plus. Loved the location and easy to walk and enjoy the downtown and some good restaurants. Look forward to a return in the future.

Happy in Hendersonville
What an amazing place! I am hesitant to share how great this listing is because I don’t want to get blocked out! :). Emily did an amazing job designing this 2 bedroom 1 bath rental. It has a great style, well appointed, comfy beds, and perfect for a family with pets. The downtown area is walkable plus it’s also quiet especially when school is out. The unit has it’s own parking so with the High School across the street, you have no worries. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with Emily. We’ll be back! Hendersonville is so central to much of what the area has to offer - 30 minutes to Chimney Rock, Brevard, Asheville and Pisgah Nat’l Forest.
