This house was located in a quiet area just 8 minutes from downtown Hendersonville and 25 minutes from Brevard under a canopy of trees. The hosts were very responsive and so kind! We brought our two dogs along, adhering to the house rules for pets and since it was a quiet street the dogs felt safe and comfortable. The home was spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed to stay in and cook when we wanted to. Would for sure stay here again!

Base camp was the perfect place for us to stay as we picked up and dropped off our daughters at a summer camp we attended ourselves 30 years prior. We even had a few alumni meet up at base camp for smores and sharing of campfire stories.The hostess was very welcoming and informative with local information and the home was very comfortable.

What a fabulous location in a wonderful area! The cottage was full of charm, private, super comfortable and had everything we needed! The property management was quick to respond to our booking request, easy self check in and provided loads of information about the area in the cottage. Good choice to explore the mountains of North Carolina...we loved our stay!

Brightwaters Vacation Rentals is the perfect place for a family gathering and wedding reception. Our family booked 4 of their rentals and were thrilled to be able to walk back and forth between the homes. They were very attentive and always on hand for anything we needed to make our gathering a special one. The decor is beautiful and everything we needed was available to make our stay a cozy one. If you are in the Hendersonville, Brevard or Asheville area, you cannot beat the value you get with the rental prices on these beautiful homes compared to others in the area. We HIGHLY recommend these rentals for value, service, quality and convenience!

Our stay at Brightwaters Vacation Rentals was absolutely phenomenal! What made the experience so great, and unlike any other vacations weve had, was definitely the hosts. Michele and Elisabeth make sure you are fully taken care of. They take such pride in their homes and are so happy for visitors to enjoy it. It shows through in their attention to details with their beautifully decorated cabins that are fully stocked with anything you may need to make you have a comfortable stay. We will definitely come back.

We had the best time while staying at the Cabin in Hendersonville, NC. Our rental was so clean, tastefully decorated and was our home away from home. Our contact was very helpful and helped make our stay pleasant. We will definitely be back.

My daughters and I stayed in the Foxhole Cottage for a birthday weekend getaway. Our original March date was the first weekend everything shut down for Covid. We had to reschedule three times due to Covid restrictions and I cant say enough about how great Elisabeth was to work with. She was so accommodating and quick to return my texts/emails. The cottage was absolutely immaculate and charming, with an interesting history as well! The decor and furnishings were a wonderful blend of antique with modern convenience. It was in a great, quiet location. We had a fun weekend visiting a brewery, winery, and hiking. I highly recommend any of the cottages with Brightwaters and will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved Bungalow 207! It was super cozy and most importantly CLEAN. We come to Hendersonville every fall for a girls trip but normally come and go in the same day. We were so happy that we ended up staying this year and will definitely plan to do it again next year. Thank you so much for the accommodations Brightwater Vacation Rentals!

We absolutely loved our stay at Brightwaters Vacation Rentals. There was so much to do close by, from strawberry picking to hiking, and swimming in the lake. The location was absolutely perfect! After a long day of activities, it was great to come back to a beautiful home that is cozy, inviting, and very comfortable. My husband and I stayed in Cabin 140, but my daughter and her fiance stayed in Cabin 206, it was great to have them so close by. We had the best time and will definitely be coming back, especially with such exceptional hosts like Elaisa and Michele - they really made the experience extra special.

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Its such a special place for big gatherings since the cabins are all within a minute walk from each other which makes it extremely comfortable for big groups staying in different cabins. Apart from the very comfortable, spacious, and well decorated cabins, there was also so much to do close by. Within a few minutes drive there were amazing parks, hikes, lakes, and waterfalls to visit. We had something to do every single day! Absolutely loved the area and the activities as well as our amazing hosts! Thank you for everything!!

The cottage we stayed in was super clean and modern. It was quiet and peaceful and an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend

Highly recommend for your stay at any of their rentals. It was very clean with a full kitchen, great bedrooms and bathrooms. The hosts were very pleasant and responsive. I will definitely be using BVR again!

Clean, well kept, and the location is great. I highly recommend!

My husband and I brought our anxious Australian Shepherd to hike in the mountains for the first time. The cabin was comfortable for all of us. Bob had a wonderful little neighborhood to walk Abbie. All the cabins/homes are spaced out enough that you have privacy and the front porch became our place to relax with morning coffee and end the day with a glass of wine from local wineries after hiking. The kitchen had everything we needed for light meals. Centrally located for a new adventure each day in a different direction, but our absolute favorite was a beautiful little hike up Bearwallow. The view on top was exactly what we came to the mountains for. We would most definitely stay here again.

I could not have asked for a better stay at these wonderful cabins. The space and setup were perfect for us as it had everything we needed for cooking, washing, etc. We also had relatives staying within the compound so it was perfect for regular gatherings, but we were each in our own cabins so it did not feel overwhelming.Elisabeth was also very helpful with suggestions on where to hike, eat, and things to do (lazy river, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, etc).

Wonderful place for our family vacation! Everything was perfectly clean and decorated very tastefully. We will be back for sure!!

We rented two homes over Thanksgiving. Absolutely lovely stay! This was the very best rental experience we have had. We rented the upper floor of the veranda property and one of the other homes. Everything was spotlessly clean, decorated beautifully, a million small thoughtful touches! We look so forward to returning. Love the fact that it is a a property with multiple houses all within walking distance and with beautiful natural setting - would be great for a family reunion. Thank you Brightwaters Rentals!!!

Great place. In from out of town on Saturday night. 10/19/19 asked if they could put the Michigan vs. Penn state game on at the same time the Clemson or South Carolina game was on. They had no problem setting me up so that I could watch the game. The beer was cold and the service was awesome. One of the best experiences Ive had at a bar. I see a lot of drinking establishment in my job. Best one in the last 15 years. I will return when ever Im in town.

I was in Hendersonville with my active young family and Bungalow 207 was perfect for us. Everything was so comfortable, clean and quiet. It was awesome to come back to after our days of adventure! If youre looking to explore all the wonderful things in and around the town, the location is great!

The cabin was very clean and delightfully decorated. The rooms were nice sized, the neighborhood was quiet and it felt like staying in a park. It was dog friendly and the customer service was outstanding! We are local and needed accommodations while repairs were being made to our home--I will recommend Brightwaters properties to our friends and family - both local and distant!

We had a wonderful stay in the Verandah. The home is beautifully decorated with plenty of spaces to enjoy, including the lovely glass-enclosed veranda. The hosts are also responsive and communicate all the important info in advance. I highly recommend staying here!

A perfect combination of rustic, yet contemporary. All these historic guest houses are thoroughly renovated and updated with modern amenities. The decor is chic, inviting and bright. Our cabin was very clean, and the owners provided superb customer service. Secluded and quiet, yet close to town.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. Booking was a breeze, the accommodations elicited wows from all of us, and Brightwaters proximity to Hendersonville was perfect. Our 5 year old especially loved the games that were provided, and the wooded surrounding to explore. I appreciated the well-appointed kitchen. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

I stayed at this property for a holiday weekend and I cant say enough about the hospitality of the property owner, Elisabeth. She met us when we checked in and made sure to share all the details of the property before we began our stay. The property was very well appointed with all the things we needed. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to our next visit! Thanks again to Elisabeth!!

The location is fantastic. Hendersonville is a charming town teeming with lovely restaurants and shops, with access to all levels of outdoor activities. Brightwaters is quiet and beautifully appointed. the atmosphere is rustic but very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, beautiful linens and plenty of porch sitting opportunity.

WOW! Fabulous vacation rental! We cannot say enough about Brightwater and Michele and Elizabeth! From making the reservations to check out... flawless. The cleanest place we have ever stayed. Everything is so comfortable and relaxing. The linens, the beds, the layout and decor of each and every space. Very nice secluded location close to everything. A true gem of a find... weve already booked our next two stays. Other units on the property are far enough away that it is very comfortable to sit outside and not see or hear anyone.The grounds are impeccable. Cannot wait to go back! Thank you Michele and Elizabeth!

The friendly welcome from property owner Elisabeth was a great start to our entire time in Hendersonville. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Foxhole Cottage! A historic cottage that has charm throughout with original restored wood floors and thick wood doors on the upper floor. The house is decorated and accessorized with an eye to detail and it exceeded my expectations throughout. Loved the extra special touch of every room in the house having a separate thermostat.

Great burgers, fun environment, friendly staff

The cabins exceeded all expectations for accommodating 13 family members for a cousin reunion. They offer all the luxuries of home and you feel very comfortable using them. We cooked inside and outside, with the BBQ grills, and the cabins were big enough to gather all 13 of us for group get togethers. The value for these accommodations will bring you back when ever seeking some relaxing time in the mountains.

We enjoyed this location since it is close to so many local sightseeing opportunities. The cabin itself is very clean, spacious and has a kitchen that is ready to cook any meal. We will return soon.

We have enjoyed our stays at the cabins. Elizabeth is hospitable and responsive. The cabins are a great choice if you are looking for a clean, quiet, and comfortable stay that is close of Hendersonville and other nearby attractions.

Perfect getaway in a beautiful location! Full kitchen, amazing beds and linens, comfy furniture, fantastic host! Love staying here and well be back!

Had a wonderful stay at Brightwater properties. It was very comfortable & cozy. They all have 2 bedrooms/ 2 baths, lots of space, very well decorated, & everything you need for your stay. Great location & awesome owners. Really enjoyed my stay. Thanks so much!!!

I arrived at Base Camp property and was immediately impressed with the exquisite decor. Every room was tastefully decorated. The entire home was immaculate and super comfortable. My guest and I really enjoyed the outdoor large deck complete with fire pit and really nice furniture. We all enjoyed the fine bedding purchased from west elm. There is a nice gift of a pound cake which was perfect for our morning coffee. We loved the area and it is only a short drive to the city of Asheville. This area was a great choice for our group of four because we were able to enjoy lots of great activities close by. Local restaurants, kayaking, shopping, parks, trails, etc. We cant wait to return.

I would go back to Brightwaters in a heartrbeat! Our family took over the Brightwaters compound for about 4 days. My sister and I had the ground floor of the historic stone Lodge. Such lovely decor and furnishings in every room! We each had a private room with queen bed and private full bath. We had a lovely kitchen/dining area, with all needed supplies, and a store nearby to purchase food. There was a covered outdoor porch with rugs and rattan furniture, where we gathered as a family. We spent time in one of the other cabins, which was more simply decorated. The furnishing and space arrangements in that cabin allowed for close to 10 people to mingle and converse. What lovely and comfortable accommodations in a woods setting, but close to town. The owner, Elisabeth P., was always available and helpful to us. Great experience and very affordable!

Our family had a great time at 202 Tioga Trail! Elizabeth was a great host who went way out of her way to make sure we had a fun time in the area. The house we stayed in was very spacious and clean. The area around the house was very quiet and safe. I would highly recommend and I cant wait to go back!

First of all both Michelle (business manager) and Elizabeth (owner) are very kind and accommodating! We (my husband, daughter, son-in-law and their 2 children) stayed in the spacious Mountain Lily cabin which is decorated in HGTV fashion. Even though on busy 64w, the cabin is in the back and lower than the street so we heard little street noise. It was really like being in our own home as comfortable as it was. We definitely perused the deck when my other grown children and grands visited. Just a short drive into Hendersonville made it easy to go downtown to some of the great restaurants. Having moved from Hendersonville after living there for 35 years, the cabin was just the thing to fill a need. I would highly recommend staying here!

We stayed at the Veranda, it was very nice quiet and clean. Perfect for 4 people. nice area, explore Jump off rock area trails 1 day, very cool !

Just enjoyed another great weekend at a Brightwaters property. Laurelwood Cabin was beautifully furnished and well equipped. This is our fifth stay with Brightwaters on Tioga Trail and I look forward to our next visit. Elisabeth is a gracious hostess and has a wealth of knowledge concerning local sites and events. Cant wait to go back!

We have stayed at several properties and most recently stayed at Mountain Lily. It was perfect for our family of 5. It was very charming, comfortable and has everything you need. It is peaceful, but close to hiking and shopping. No need to look anywhere else. The owners are very attentive and professional.

This is our third year here. Two at Bungalow 207 and one at The Cabin. Everything is neat and clean and youre close to everything in downtown Hendersonville. If you have an issue with something, its taken care of immediately. We will continue to vacation here as long as we can.

We stayed in The Cabin for The Great American Eclipse, and I cant say enough about what a fabulous experience it was! From the views to the fully equipped kitchen to what seems like every detail taken care of so lovingly, we didnt want to leave! Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay, and look forward to our next one

This review is for the Brightwaters Garden, although I feel confident that any of the Brightwaters Vacations rentals would not disappoint! My stay was lovely. Check in was seamless, as they use a door code, provided to you in advance. The temperature was easy to adjust as well. Each bedroom is clean, cozy, and has its own private bathroom. It is the perfect space for 2 adults or 2 couples that want to be together, but also have their own space. The location is 10 minutes from lovely downtown Hendersonville, which is full of cute shops and restaurants. It is also 10-15 minutes from Sierra Nevada, Bold Rock Cider, and the Asheville Airport. Pisgah Forest is a short 20-25 min drive as well. A wonderful and affordable option and alternative to hotels for travelers!

I stayed in Base Camp last weekend with my roommate and we absolutely loved it! The place was clean, cozy and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. The location is also great! We do a fall hiking trip every year and this was very close to the trails. The colors were beautiful and the view at the top of John Rock was well worth it. We also checked out a couple of the breweries and had a great time. Elisabeth was very good about communicating with us if we had any questions and had great recommendations. Will absolutely stay there again and Im looking forward to checking out the other rentals available as well :) Thank you for a great weekend!

We had a wonderful time in our comfortable cabin except for the rain, but we cant blame the owner for that! The cabin was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The cable TV was pretty limited but we didnt spend much time watching TV anyway. The owner was immediately available and accommodating for everything we needed.

Stayed at the Mountain Lilly cabin, and could not have had a more wonderful experience. The cabin was perfect in every way and had everything you could want. The staff was fantastic and really made us feel at home. When in the Hendersonville area, we will always check Brightwaters for availability

My husband and I along with three friends spent a long weekend at Mountain Lily Cabin for my husbands birthday and we loved it. The cabin is perfectly equipped and decorated in such a charming fashion. Its also much bigger than I anticipated. Even with five adults, we had plenty of space and never felt like we were bumping into one another though one friend did need to sleep on the twin bed in the living room. The owner Elisabeth was very helpful and attentive. When I had a couple of questions during our stay, I emailed and she responded very quickly and also left a voicemail to ensure our needs were met. I definitely recommend to other travelers and hope to be back myself again too.

This was the find of the year. The cottage was beautiful, comfy, cozy, convenient and so clean and fresh. You couldnt ask for nicer hosts and they were very responsive to any questions or info requests. The only problem with this post is it will be harder for us to get back in! But they deserve it.

Our family of 5, including our granddaughter, had a wonderful stay in a Brightwaters Vacation Tioga cabin in June 2018. The cabin was very comfortable, clean, well decorated and well kept. Great location with access to Ingles supermarket and a nice country diner within a couple of miles. Cabin hostess Elisabeth was very gracious. We will certainly return to a Brightwaters vacation cabin when visiting Hendersonville again.

My cousins and I stayed at Bungalow 207 to celebrate a bachelorette, and it was just perfect! The cabin is absolutely adorable and homey at the same time. Its also immaculate. Its equipped with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. But my favorite part is how helpful Elisa was. Shes there to answer any question you may have, and she knows everything about the area. The home is in a great location --close to great hikes and short drive to Asheville. Ill definitely be staying in one their cabins again next time Im in the area.

My family stayed a week in Cottage 207 over the Christmas holiday, and had a wonderful experience. The two bedroom/two bath cabin is beautifully decorated in a modern, clean style — but still very comfortable. Anything you’ll need for a day or a week has been thought of and supplied, from extra towels and blankets, to a well appointed, functional kitchen. When I inquired about a barbecue grill, one was made available to us.The cabin is located conveniently right off 64, one of the main routes in Hendersonville. Even so, the cabin was very quiet.Michele and Elisabeth are great hosts and will do everything they can to make you happy. They’ll tell you the best places to go for dinner in town (and where to avoid) and options for local hikes and other outdoor activities.If you are visiting Hendersonville, I highly recommend you stay at Brightwaters Vacation Rentals!

Top Notch place. Very positive renting experience, well-appointed and neat and clean lodging.

The staff at Brightwaters Vacation Rentals was excellent to work with. They were immediately responsive and the pound cake they had for us when we arrived was delicious! The cabin was wonderful and had all the amenities we needed in a beautiful setting and ideal location outside of Hendersonville in Tioga Forest.

We love staying at Elisabeths Brightwaters Vacation Rentals. They are beautifully decorated for a relaxing and comfortable vacation away from home. You have everything you need and her places are so welcoming. They are the perfect place to stay when heading to the Hendersonville/Brevard area.

I am a frequent guest at Brightwaters and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these wonderful accommodations. I stayed many times in The Veranda, and recently in The Mountain Lily and The Cabin at Tioga Forest. I cant say enough good things about all of these places, and the owners/hosts, Elisabeth and Michelle.They are the most gracious, thoughtful, kind people . They pay attention to every detail of each house, and the property. Its peaceful, beautiful, quite, beautiful.Both Mountain Lily and The Cabin at Tioga Forest ste cabins, but they are both large, two bedroom homes, equipped with everything you could ever need. Full kitchen, laundry, lovely outdoor space, comfortable beds and soft linens. Every creature comfort has been taken care of... fast wifi, user friendly remote controls, hair dryer, motion detector outside lights. Elisabeth and Michelle leave a yummy little cake to welcome you! I ALWAYS feel welcome and at home when I arrive in any of the Brightwaters homes. The location is great- 5 minutes to downtown Hendersonville with great eateries, brew pubs, quaint shops. Each house has a wealth of information about local attractions, restaurants, wineries, and cool/interesting historical information.I appreciate the thoughtful attention to every guests need that Elisabeth and Michelle provide. I will return as often as possible on my frequent trips to Hendersonville.

I live in Hendersonville and have recommended Brightwaters Vacation Rentals to friends and family members that I havent been able to accommodate myself. Everyone has loved their experience with the friendly and caring hosts, beautifully decorated vacation rentals, comfortable and clean rooms, and the location close to Hendersonville, Brevard and Asheville. Thanks for being the best place for me to recommend!!

We stayed at Base Camp last weekend. Very clean, well appointed, and comfortable. Convenient to everything we wanted to do.

A great experience. I was instantly relaxed when I entered the garden level at the Stone House. The owner is attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Asheville and the mountains (and biking, rafting, hiking) are all easily accessible. Main Street in Hendersonville is charming. We will return.

For our 50th wedding anniversary, we needed a place for a number of family members to stay. We reserved the entire Brightwater Complex to help house relatives from 5 states and from overseas, and it was a great decision. Prices were much better than local hotels, accommodations were outstanding, and we could not have asked for more congenial or efficient hosts. The Veranda and Garden levels in the big stone house are especially attractive and spacious. Highly recommended!

Perfectly clean, comfortable, and simple home my two friends and I stayed in during the Morher Earth News Fair. Elisabeth is a lovely host!

My family stayed at the Brightwaters Gardens on Tiaga road. We rented the upstairs and downstairs units and it was perfectly suited for our family. We enjoyed the porch to drink coffee on and share good times with the people involved in my sons wedding . it was the perfect location to get to Etowah for the wedding service and to Hendersonville to have the reception at the Cedars. Our rehearsal party was at Cummings cove country club. We were very happy to be so close to all the places that we were sharing with our family. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend and your beautiful rental .

We loved our stay at BaseCamp. Very clean and comfortable space in a quiet neighborhood close to Dupont and Pisgah Forest. The owners were wonderful to work with. Thanks so much!

Loved our time here! Cozy and comfy house with a great location near downtown Hendersonville and hiking and very close to Asheville as well. We went with friends and stayed at the Foxhole cabin with cute Scandinavian décor and our other friends stayed in a big house next door. Every detail from linens to dishware is accounted for. Everything is spotless. Our party of 10 fit perfectly between the two homes on the property. There are other homes in the same area and would make for a good get together whether there are 2 or 10 or more people.

We came to Hendersonville for my dads 80th birthday and stayed in the garden flat. It was exceptionally comfortable and we had everything we could possibly need. Michele has done a beautiful job with the decor and the stone front porch was fabulous. Both Michele and Elisabeth are top-notch business operators and gracious hosts. It is obvious that they love this property and Hendersonville and want their guests to enjoy it as much as they do. We have stayed at several Airbnbs in the area and two highly rated B&Bs in Atlanta. They dont hold a candle to Brightwaters. HONESTLY. I cant imagine why anyone would ever stay in a hotel. I wish these ladies much success and thank you both for sharing your gifts in returning this house to its original glory. We will be back.

—We stayed at Base Camp and it was perfect for our group. We explored, hiked, Biked and shopped the area and Base Camp was always a 15 min To 45 min...

We stayed at the Verandah in Hendersonville. We loved the large bedrooms, sitting areas and especially the verandah; a perfect place for coffee or a glass of wine. The apartment has been recently renovated, is furnished tastefully and everything is spotlessly clean. The beds are large and amazingly comfortable. We will be back again. Thanks for everything, Elisabeth!

Lot of fun and enlightening

Peaceful and clean

Good place to go to for a vacation
