Prime spot, middle of Main Street with an incredible view of Chimney Rock, what could be better? We absolutely loved this place, our 2 teenage sons were able to stroll down Main Street at their leisure, and waking up and walking downstairs to the coffee shop was awesome. Took a drive over to Hendersonville for the Apple Festival and then hiked the following day at Chimney Rock. Are several times at the River Watch next door where we could wind down with some drinks and live music. Will definitely be back.

Can't beat the view of Chimney Rock ! This place was very clean and well stocked with items that you need when staying. Really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching traffic and people go by and wow the back porch was right on the river. The parking was right out front which was great. Enjoyed coffee at the Riverwatch Coffee Shop and the best hamburger at the Riverwatch Bar and Grill that was just next door. Can't wait to book this place again. Chimney Rock is the Best!!!

Wonderful stay

Beautiful location, close to Chimney Rock and right on main street so close to shops and restaurants. Apartment was very clean and cozy. Our 2 daughters stayed with us and they too were very impressed. Beds were so comfy and furniture also very comfortable. If we are ever back that way we will definitely be staying here again.

Great location!

It was our 39th anniversary. The wife wanted to stay somewhere we could walk to shops, food, etc. This couldn’t have been a better location! We had a blast! (for two older people) Great all-around experience, and this home was a great base camp.

Great stay

Very nice and spacious apartment. Quiet settings but so close to everything in town. We appreciated the friendliness and cordial welcome of the apartment managers who made our stay enjoyable and we definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet place with plenty of room for several people. Chimney Rock Village and Chimney Rock are good places to visit and enjoy small town ambience.

Chimney Rock

I stayed with my 2 daughters and one's boyfriend. We loved the set-up of the condo and the location. We enjoyed the two porches, playing in the river, walking to shops, restaurants, the brewery, and being close to the park. The unit is modern, clean, and comfortable. Great stay overall, highly recommended!

Christmas stay

Stayed here for Christmas weekend and we had a great time! The house was exactly as listed. Great location, clean, and comfortable. Had great views both in the back and front porch. But the view from the back porch was great and you could here the river from the porch. Will definitely make this to a annual visit! Definitely recommend this house!!

A great experience

The wife and I stayed here for a relaxing anniversary weekend. The communication and helpfulness of the property manager/owner made everything easy and stress-free. The location is perfect, being in the middle of Chimney Rock's shops and restaurants. It allowed us to walk to nearly everything we were drawn to do. The place is clean and well kempt.

Joey Banz

Joey Banz was the best property manager I’ve had with ABNB. He was there to meet us and carried our bags upstairs. Then communicated with us during our stay!
