Firefly: Walk to Main St Hendersonville, NC

Studio sized cottage in historic W Hendersonville with a firefly theme, one block to the Ecusta Trail. Separate but next to my house (no shared walls). Consists of a large bedroom & a bathroom with a tub/shower. Inside the bedroom is a "kitchenette" area with a mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven & keurig. There's also a love seat to relax and watch tv. The queen bed has a comfy medium firm mattress and nice cotton linens. Lovely private backyard w/ grill. See more info in photo captions. The space The property is about a half acre with a privacy fence. My home is a mid century brick rancher. Under the same roof, and separated by a breezeway, is the guesthouse called Firefly. There are no shared walls between my house and Firefly. The yard has grass and lots of pretty flowering shrubs. There's gas grill for your use, and an outdoor bistro set. There are also chairs in the backyard for you. Access to the new Ecusta Trail is just a block away. As of May 2025 there’s about 6 miles of pavement down on the west side of Hendersonville. Eventually, it will be paved all the way to Brevard. Bring your bikes, or just enjoy a walk! During winter months when occupancy is less, if you are booking the same day as arrival, please allow at least an hour for me to get the space up to a comfortable temperature. Guest access The entire guesthouse called Firefly is yours. You also have access to the back yard, bbq grill (I occasionally use these areas), and you will have exclusive use of an outdoor bistro set. Parking is a shared concrete driveway, which is right in front of Firefly. There are no steps to enter the unit, or inside it. While there are no grab bars in the bathroom, the unit is otherwise pretty accessible. Other things to note Please follow the driving directions that I will send as part of your check-in instructions. Maps will sometimes send folks a confusing way, and the gravel road is in bad shape that other way. It is a little over a mile from Firefly to downtown. There are sidewalks 99% of the way. There is little traffic right in the neighborhood, and it is very walkable. We also have access to the new Ecusta Trail a block away. It’s expected to be completed in 2025. This will connect Hendersonville with Brevard, and the six miles or so that are already paved are wonderful for walking and biking. Trailside Brewing and Ecusta Cafe are a relatively short walk away on the trail. There is a coffee shop about a block away and many shops, restaurants, breweries, wineries and hiking trails within a short drive. Please note that the "kitchenette area" is small and not set up for preparing meals from scratch. There's just enough space/equipment to reheat meals prepared elsewhere or make a sandwich. And there is only the one sink in the bathroom. You're welcome to use the gas grill also.
