Quaint Cabin Close to Town

The cabin is as described and pictured. It's convenient to all Hendersonville has to offer. The beds are comfortable and the owner was very responsive. One thing you should know if you have a sensitive nose is the cabin has a smoke smell.

Highly recommend

My family and I traveled to Tennessee for a softball tournament. This was the perfect place for our stay. The cabin is very unique with great history. The backyard has a very private setting and front porch was perfect for evenings outside. The owners were great! We would highly recommend!

Fun stay at amazing property

Five of us stayed for four nights while in town for a family wedding. We had a great experience here. It’s a unique property—century-plus old cabin with additions to make it roomier. The decor was an interesting mix of the historical, musical and whimsical. We were all very comfortable, had everything we needed and were well taken care of by our hosts who were incredibly responsive. We would all definitely stay here again.

So comfortable!

The beds were comfy, sheets were soft, and the towels were soft and thick - and there were lots of them. A+.(However, BYO hairdryer, since we never found one.) The decor in the house is fascinating - a bit like spending the night inside a Crackle Barrell only more eclectic. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything we needed and more. Appliances all in good order. It was a great place for the dogs with a nice fenced in yard. However, if your dog is a climber or a jumper (ours are not), you'll need to keep them leashed as some of the fenced areas are less than secure. Big fire ring with outdoor seating. Very quiet neighborhood . You gotta check out the bar/party room. We enjoyed our stay there with family.

Charter House/Cabin

The kitchen was well equipped with everything except a potato peeler and potato masher. Seating in the den was fine. I really liked the washer/dryer because it was not complicated to operate. The bedrooms were spacious enough and the beds were comfortable. Dwayne communicated with us very well. The location worked very well for us. The most important thing for us was that we were close to family members who live in Hendersonville. And the weather cooperated. It was a beautiful Labor Day weekend.

Great location. House has character. Owners are wonderful

Perfect setting for my family trip for my daughter’s softball tournament. Great location near parks and plenty of room in the house for me, hubby & 2 teenagers. Very large, private and interesting back yard. The weather wasn’t the most agreeable on our trip, but thankfully the air conditioning worked well. The house and yard have personality which makes the stay way more fun than a hotel stay. Dwayne was awesome; super nice and helpful. He responded to texts ASAP if I had any questions. Overall a great trip…
