We stayed at the Henderson over the weekend. It was a wonderful experience and we definitely go back and stay there. Breakfast in the morning was delicious! I highly recommend The Henderson!! It was a comfortable and relaxing environment. The location is good too.

The Henderson is a gem of old-time charm, such a refreshing change from sterile chain hotels. It is quirky and fun. We truly felt like the friendly hosts and owners Jeanne and Michael were sharing their home with us. Michael is a notable chef and Jeanne runs the inn smoothly. Our room was comfortable and cozy. The downstairs is decorated with classic film posters and movie memorabilia. Old black and white movies run silently on tv screens. The breakfasts are amazing with a choice of three entrees, homemade muffins, fruit and smoothies. (We had to leave early on our last morning and Jeanne thoughtfully prepared a to-go breakfast for us.) We hosted a dinner for out-of-town guests for my sister’s birthday at Harvey’s, the in-house gourmet restaurant open several nights a week. We had a private dining room and Michael prepared delicious dishes. The French onion soup and raspberry crème brulee were outstanding. The inn is located easy walking distance from the heart of downtown Hendersonville.

To stay anywhere else in the Hendersonville area would be a mistake. Not only are the rooms comfortable, but the food is extraordinary. Graciousness is abundant and the staff are very attentive. The wrap around porch is perfect for reading or just musing, and you can have your meals there, too.

Breakfast was delicious. The inn is very cute and loved the cat. The decor is great. The only negative is the very busy road outside the inn. They have sound machines in each room but still loud cars stopping at the traffic light right outside the inn.

Finding an exceptional B&B in the center of town can be a difficult feat; however, the Henderson was a great find. My wife and I enjoyed the friendly staff from the moment we arrived. Accommodations were quite comfortable and the breakfast experience was top notch. We even decided to stay for a dinner at Harvey’s - again, compliments to the chef and serving staff. They really outdo themselves. The B&B is located close to many shops in town if you want to enjoy a morning or afternoon shopping stroll. We also enjoyed apple picking and one of the local wineries. So many things to do in and around Hendersonville - but it was nice to have “The Henderson” as our home base.

Jeanne and Michael run an amazing bed and breakfast. The 100 year old building is a very cute. The front porch is perfect to watch the world go by. Michael is absolutely amazing chef. We ate there several times and did not have one bad meal. The breakfasts were amazing. Jeanne is provides amazing service. The inn is so close to downtown. It is very walkable to downtown Hendersonville. We would highly recommend staying here. We just loved it.

Gracious hospitality is just one of the many reasons to choose to stay at the Henderson. The food is exceptional and the inn feels like home with all the efforts made to mimic the changing seasons and holidays. It is very close to many other great places surrounding the Hendersonville area and we look forward to our next visit. Carroll and Gary

My husband and I stayed at The Henderson during the apple festival. This is the second year we stayed here ane we love it. It has a comfortable atmosphere and the innkeepers are so accommodating. One of the best things about The Henderson is the food! I looked forward to eating breakfast everyday. It was delicious!! If you have not stayed here, YOU SHOULD!!
