The Henderson

Spa Servies at The Henderson are extraordinary! Highly recommended Bethann for the best facial I’ve ever had. And Theresa excellent Pedi Manicure. What a treat and rejuvenating experience. For myself and girlfriends. Looking forward to returning with my daughter & daughter-in-law.

The Inn is well appointed in the turn of the century chic. We loved those poster beds and old world charm. The old fashioned front porch that wrapped around the Inn was a great place to sit in a rocking chair and do people watching on bright sunny day! Nice! The dining at the Inn had a variety of eclectic delights. The Inn has restaurant that is open three nights a week with with tempting dinner ideas! We thoroughly enjoyed our exotic dinner. Actually, the chef/owner cooked up an exotic meal that was not on the menu! That was a nice touch! The breakfast in the morning has a variety of choices. Overall, very pleasant and memorable experience. We shall return, needless to say!

Comments: At first, I'll admit I had some hesitation about the Henderson because of the very very reasonable price compared to other B&Bs in the area. That hesitation disappeared almost immediately after we arrived. Why: The location (one short block from all the action. The very welcoming reception when we came in the door. Did I mention the price? How do they even make any money... Once inside you are immersed in such a wonderfully eclectic environment. Your eyes can't stop looking around at everything. This 100+ year old building has another feature that I loved. The squeaky floors and stairs confirmed it is an old stately lady. You are taken back to another era. But, if you are looking for elegance, don't look here. If you want a more bohemian experience, this is the place. The food is tremendous, as you would expect when the owner provides the "elegance" here through his food. Some of the rooms might be smaller than others, but they were larger than we needed. It was so convenient to walk one or a few blocks to so much dining and shopping. Didn't use the car at all except for wineries. . As Mikey said in TV ads years ago, "Try it, you'll like it" Finally, I'm not a relative and was not paid for these words. I just wanted to give credit when it is duly earned

Beautiful old building, lots of character. It was nice to stay in a hotel other than a chain hotel. It helped give us a better experience while in Henderson county, while in North Carolina. The owners were friendly and helpful. I can’t say how much we enjoyed the breakfast. So much so that the worst part of our stay was the breakfast that we missed because of an early flight out.

We took a step back in time on this vacation. There are antiques throughout, even down to the antique shower, which takes a while to figure out. I guess back then they were happy to Get a shower! The owners and family are very gracious and comply to any wishes we had. The breakfast that was included featured many dishes we never had. each prepared just right. The porch was a great place to read and relax or dine. It was quite an experience staying here. Thank you all. .

I hosted a retreat for my personal history colleagues at this ideal, historic location—just one block from charming Main Street. Everything was excellent: the food (oh, the breakfasts!), Michael and Jeanne, the room and bed, the lounge, the bright, private meeting room, etc. I highly recommend The Henderson to anyone looking to visit Western North Carolina.
