About this property

The Village House/great dining, hiking & wineries!

*Business travelers or weekday visiting - ask about our discounted cleaning rates for smaller groups weekday traveling!
Located in the heart of the historic Village of Flat Rock, close to Little Rainbow Row and walking distance to Carl Sandburg's house. Centrally located to so many great things to do - hiking, vineyards, restaurants. Town hop - Hendersonville, Saluda, Brevard, Lake Lure, Greenville and Asheville. Close to it all or stay home and enjoy the fire pit, backyard and catching up.

The Village House is in the heart of the Village of Flat Rock. This 100 year old house has been fully renovated - all the charm of an old house with the comforts of a new one. Easily accessible and centrally located to all the area has to offer!
The space has been set up to accommodate a variety of guests, their sleeping arrangements and reasons for booking. The Village House comfortably sleeps 14 in beds and 3 full bathrooms.
Upon entering the Village House, a guest bedroom will be on your right with a king bed. The next hallway door leads to the full hall bath with a shower/tub combination. The last door in the hallway leads to the master bedroom with a king bed and it's own ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower.
Our open living/dining/kitchen makes for easy conversations. The dining table seats 8 but can expand to seat as many as 12. Extra leafs are stored in the table. You will enjoy our double oven range and french door fridge to cook for many if you choose to. Off the back of the kitchen is a full laundry room with access to washer and dryer and back porch. Sit in the rocking chairs and watch the kids play on our large flat back yard. A small creek, hammock, fire pit and rope swing are great for entertainment. We have a weber charcoal grill as well that guests can use.
Heading up the stairs you will find a random vanity in the hallway - this was an old kitchenette area for guests in the 1940s! We kept the plumbing and vanity so upstairs guests will have an extra sink to use. Going towards your left upstairs, you will find a queen bed and tv nook area with a twin mattress in the dormer. There is also a small balcony to enjoy with locks up high to prevent access for children. This balcony used to be a staircase entrance for guests in the 1940s. There is a small jack and jill bathroom that connects to our last bedroom which has it's own entrance from the hallway as well. The 4th bedroom has two bunk bed sets, a queen bed and a twin bed sleeping 7 comfortably. A pack n play and other baby gear is stored in this bedrooms closet.
This house's location is in the heart of Flat Rock, and a few minutes to Hendersonville then Saluda, Brevard, Greenville and Asheville.
Please note that we are a house centrally located to many wonderful things - a quick drive to all the area has to offer but we are not a remote mountain vacation home. This house has a large back yard but the front of the house is off the main two way road in Flat Rock - the historic scenic byway. This means great and quick access to everything but you will hear street traffic on the front porch or inside at times.

Guests have access to the whole house although I have locked access to the basement and certain owners and cleaning closets.

We have the home set up to be a smart entry key code. Although you might not ever see me, I am only an airbnb message away should any problems arise. Having recently fully renovated the house, I have a crew of people at my disposal to fix any problem should one arise. With an old house fully renovated though - a new tankless water heater, minisplits upstairs, updated wiring, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors - we hope you will never have to reach out unless it is to share how much you enjoyed your stay.

What makes the Village of Flat Rock special... so much to share - please check out my guidebook for recommendations in Flat Rock, Hendersonville and close by Brevard and Asheville. We really are central to it all. We are on the corner of the scenic byway and Bonclarken Ln. - right down the street you can grab a coffee and something delicious at the Village Bakery or Honey and Salt, BBQ at Hubba Hubba or a nice meal and cocktail at Campfire Grill - and don't forget to shop at the Wrinkled Egg - literally all are a few houses down the road in what we call Little Rainbow Row. Walk to the Carl Sandburg home and pet the goats or take a hike. Feel like driving - just a quick car ride away is downtown Hendersonville, Sky Top Orchards or Dupont Forest. Brevard, Saluda, Lake Lure and Asheville are 20-40 min each away but worth the drive to explore all the area has to offer, which is a lot. Fall in love with the area and use our house that is central to all the wonderful activities.

The Village Park is a great place to get a walk in and some exercise or let the kids run around on the impressive playground ...
Uber and lyft are of course present but depending on season/time of day might be best to prepare in advance
Message me if you need recommendations for a small bus to visit a vineyard, Sierra Nevada Brewery, etc...

Tankless water heater - never run out of hot water!

The backyard! Let the kids explore and imagination run wild - there is a small stream, rope swing, hammock and fire pit with a smokeless solo stove to enjoy.
Please swing at your own risk as we are not able to inspect the swings after every storm or guest.

Tolles Südstaatenhaus
Wir hatten einen rundum wunderschönen Aufenthalt in diesem sehr gut ausgestatteten Haus. Wir konnten abends am Lagerfeuer sitzen, in der sehr gut ausgestatteten Küche kochen und auf der Schaukel auf der Veranda sitzen. Wir waren 11 Personen und hatten ausreichend Platz um zusammen an dem ausziehbaren Tisch zu essen. Wir haben auch sehr gut geschlafen.Das Haus liegt an einem Highway, aber das stört nicht, da der Garten nach hinten geht.

Family - Celebration of Life
My siblings, their spouses and 2 sons all came together in Hendersonville to celebrate the life of one of our sisters. This home provided a wonderful place to stay and talk about family memories. The fire pit was wonderful the evening following our sister's kids celebration they had put together. There was plenty of room. The location was wonderful. It is on a pretty busy street but that was easy to overlook based on the comforts of the home. I would stay again for sure!

True Retreat
We had a church ladies’ retreat there and loved our stay- the house was beautiful both inside and out. We loved making a fire in the fire pit and the 2 porches for relaxing outside. Inside we enjoyed spacious bathrooms and kitchen and comfy beds. Overall we had a wonderful stay!

cute, comfortable property
We enjoyed our stay in the property had everything we needed. From the listing, I thought it was a little more rustic so I was disappointed when it was on a main road in the backyard is not as private as it appears in the picture. We still enjoyed the fire pit and all of the fun outdoor amenities. On the upside. It was a very convenient property to get to all the local attractions.

Perfect spot for a getaway
My family and some friends gathered for the weekend for fellowship and rafting the Saluda River. It was the perfect spot for our stay from the large upstairs room that accommodated 7 teenagers to the large fire pit outside where we enjoyed s’mores. Would definitely go back!

Beautiful house with awesome interior!!
We came here for our parents' funeral in Flat Rock. The house was beautifully decorated, and everyone felt at home. The kitchen and front porch were the best part of the house. The backyard with a fire pit helped my family have quality time and share our parents' memories. Thank you so much for the lovely time.

Family Vacation '23
For some of us, it was our first time to the North Carolina "mountains". We were blown away by the lush beauty of the area. The house was perfect! The charm and coziness of a 100 year old house with all the modern amenities and comforts one might need. The porch was one of my favorite places to drink coffee and even roll out my yoga mat for some stretching. The backyard accommodated our badminton net and our game of Kubb. Loved the firepit for evening smores! Location was perfect for all the towns and attractions we wanted to see in - Asheville, Saluda, Brevard, Hendersonville. Our hosts were very easy to reach and very responsive. We would love to visit again one day!

Absolutely Amazing!
We had an incredible time. We stayed here before our daughter's wedding. This precious home had everything we needed to be a "Home away from Home". We all talked about how special it was to be together. It even had a Christmas tree for the holiday. I give this a A++++. Excellent place to stay!!!

Wouldn’t change a thing. The house handled our family of 10 perfectly. Kitchen well stocked, beds very comfortable, the front porch, back deck and back yard were perfect fir lots of outside time together. So charming and well detailed. The fire pit is amazing

We have stayed at three different VRBO properties and this was the best.
We loved everything about this home and the property. There were no issues with anything and we would love to stay here again. The owner was very responsive and helpful with all transactions and communications. We loved the fact that the house is 100 years old but lives and functions like a contemporary home
