Exceptional host communication

Recent guests gave Catherine a 5-star rating for communication.
The Henington House Gardener’s Cottage circa 1912, is behind the Historic Henington House circa 1905, above the Carriage House and in between the small Rose Garden, working Cutting Gardens and small Vegetable Garden. The Gardens most of the time, are in the midsts of a project or event prep, but guests are always welcomed to walk around and through them.

The space
The Gardener’s Cottage circa 1912, IS UPSTAIRS above the Henington Carriage House. The 400sq ft space ( sq ft is not including the deck) has a deck with seating, three bedrooms, a full kitchen and one bathroom (which not uncommon for homes of this era, you have to go through 2 of the bedrooms to access the bathroom.) The Master bedroom has a small sitting area with a smart TV. There is only one large closet and it is in the Master bedroom. Many of our guests have used the smallest bedroom right off of the Bath as a dressing area. Please note, we are in a historic neighborhood and district so the homes are NOT new and pristine. The HH Gardener’s Cottage is quaint, quirky and a sweet space, but certainly not perfection. If you like old homes we believe you’ll enjoy the Gardeners Cottage!

Guest access
Gardener’s Cottage Guests have their own drive during their stay, private entrance and the entire upstairs Gardener’s Cottage. They are also welcome to walk the grounds including the HH Greenhouse spaces and the HH Ladies Creative Workshop.
(HH She Shed)
