Zen Vacation Home

We had a wonderful stay here! It was a convenient location, just a couple blocks from Main Street, 20 minutes to waterfall hikes and other activities that we enjoyed! The house has more supplies than I could ask for. I love that the house had live indoor plants. It felt like home here and my family enjoyed it!

Amazing Get Away

The Zen Den was a wonderful and relaxing stay. The host Mary went above and beyond for us - she took the time to leave personalized touches throughout the home which made our visit feel like a home away from home. The house was very clean and well organized. Highly recommend the Zen Den for your stay and we look forward to returning back.

Perfect

It is the kind of place you’d like to keep a secret, but then you’d deprive others of the opportunity to stay in a beautiful and serene house in walking distance of town. My second stay, and will always be my first choice in the area.

Great Stay!

This house and yard has a lot of character and personality. Easy walk to downtown for food, drinks and shopping. The host did a nice job checking in via text during our stay to see if we needed anything and that everything was meeting our expectations. We highly recommend this house if you looking for an in town place to stay in Hendersonville. Thanks for everything Mary!

Unbelievable grounds. The plantings were just fantastic and the location so close to downtown made restaurant visits walkable. The house is much bigger than it looks and has a lot of room for all who stay there.

Wonderful House

We had a very nice stay at the Zen Den for 4 nights. It’s a comfortable and clean house with many amenities. Mary is an exceptional host. She was super accommodating and quick to respond to any questions and requests. We would definitely stay there again the next time we’re in the Hendersonville area.

Peaceful Getaway in Hendersonville

We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! The house was in great condition, the kitchen well stocked and front and back yard were very peaceful places to hangout. We loved the hammock room in the back yard! Great for napping or reading… Very close to downtown Hendersonville, and also easy commute to Asheville and Brevard for hiking and waterfalls, restaurants, etc. We will likely be back next year!

This was a perfect property for 3 friends. We spent most of the time out of the house exploring, but there was plenty to do in the house if we had experienced bad weather. We had a peace filled, friend filled, wonderful time.

Favorite home and host in Hendo

The Zen Den is the perfect place for any Hendersonville visit. Plenty of room to accommodate multiple couples or a family. An absolutely gorgeous back yard with all the amenities. A short 1/2 mile walk and you’re downtown with all of the shops and restaurants. Miss Mary was the best host! If you’re looking for the perfect home in Hendo, this is it!

Relaxing Setting Steps from HVL

Our family of four enjoyed our weekend in HVL tremendously. The property was beautiful and had personal touches from a personalized welcome sign, to wine and baked goods on arrival. Our kids enjoyed the firepit and hot tub in the spacious and private backyeard (fully fenced) after a long days of hiking. Very easy communication with owners. Our new favorite place to stay in the area!

Despite 4 days of rain, our stay at Zen Den was very relaxing. Everything was perfect, except no cable was a bit frustrating - especially Masters Week. We’ll be back as we fell in love with Hendersonville and the Den was perfect location. Thank you

Wonderful anniversary weekend!

The Zen Den was the perfect, peaceful and lovely home base for our weekend away in the mountains. We sipped coffee by the fireplace in the morning, hiked to waterfalls during the day and walked to downtown for dinner each night. Mary was the perfect host ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. My husband and I said if we ever had a VRBO property, this is how we'd do it. Hope to be back someday. Thanks, Mary!

Great Place / Great Host

This house was absolutely charming! The hosts clearly put a lot of care into thoughtfully furnishing the house and go above and beyond to anticipate a guests’ needs, and everything was extremely clean. The hosts were also very responsive and even left a lovely welcome gift. The backyard was absolutely magical and the tea house was a lovely respite. We also found ourselves spending a lot of time on the welcoming front porch. We walked into downtown for dinner most nights and it was an easy 5-minute walk. A gem of a spot we definitely recommend!

Peaceful getaway in a beautiful indoor/outdoor space

Our stay at the Zen Den was wonderful! The gardens are absolutely beautiful and we spent most of our time sitting outside and enjoying the atmosphere (in the hammocks, on the shady front porch or by the firepit). The house itself is clean and comfortable with many thoughtful amenities and simple check in/out instructions. The hot tub was a welcome surprise. The hosts have created a tranquil resort that I would absolutely rebook. Close to walking trails and downtown Hendersonville. 10/10 would recommend!

Private calm oasis

This well appointed home lacked for nothing; immaculate and very calming. The outdoor area was spectacular with beautiful plantings and various areas for reading or meditating. A short walk into downtown Hendersonville with it's various shops and restaurants. Three friends enjoyed several nights here and everyone was pleased. I hope to stay again and would recommend to friends. We think the owners must be blessed with some height because my 5'2" friends found some things better suited to someone taller.

Perfect girls getaway!

We loved everything about our stay! The house and surroundings were beautiful and serene...it was truly a Zen Den. The inside was cozy and clean and we enjoyed playing games and lounging in the living room with the the fireplace going. We loved walking the grounds and observing the landscape of carefully planned plants, shrubs and trees that had been there for years. It was clear our host, Mary Margaret, was an experienced host and we had great communication with her before and during our stay. We also enjoyed being about 5 minutes away from some great downtown Hendersonville restaurants. We didn't get a chance to try the hot tub or fire pit but we plan to be back!
