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.

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.

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.

Would love to stay again
My stepchildren were in town for their father's memorial service. It was a perfect place for them to relax, watch the birds from the sun room and work through their grief. Walking the trail was also so nice. The cabin felt like a warm hug. Beds were very comfortable.

Amazing view - cozy cottage
Don’t miss the opportunity to stay at Sonshine Cottage. The convenient location to Main Street Hendersonville is great. The home is warm, comfortable and cozy. Beds are great, bathroom configuration works well for multiple guests. Kitchen well-stocked. If you love old houses with character, this one is amazing. Host is an excellent communicator and responds very quickly. As advertised!

Very cool older house
I'm not sure what year the house was built, but if you like older houses with all the modern amenities, then this is your place. Plenty of seating and space, and the sun room has an incredible view. Tucked away in a nice quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything.
