Although you travel down a gravel road to the property, it is beautiful! The house was clean and very private. The host was very responsive and it was fun seeing the goats and Great Dane puppy welcoming us as we drove in.

Secluded but convenient to TIEC
Very cute and well decorated. Was located on a residential property with another rental. The place was clean and ready when we got there. Very comfortable and about six minutes drive from Tryon equestrian center. We did not realize how isolated the place would be back on the woods or that it would require a gravel driveway/road back to the property itself. For two women staying with teen daughters it did feel a bit more secluded than we were expecting since we were coming and going after dark/before sunrise. That may be someone else's cup of tea, however! It was definitely quiet and private. Could use new bathroom towels, and the back sliding door was having some issues with locking but we figured it out. Beds were comfy. Thanks for the hospitality!

We needed a place to stay last minute during Thanksgiving. The owners responded to messages quickly and were able to help us out. The place was perfect for our situation and we felt very lucky to have stumbled upon this adorable house. It clean and very spacious for our family of 5!!!

SO close to Tryon
It’s hard to know where to stay for a trip to Tryon. Many lodgings advertise as being “close,” but this one seriously IS close, like 7-8 min drive close. We prioritize that, so this was a great spot for us. House just as pictured — brand new, very clean. This house plus another similar rental are close together, but the two houses are really out in the woods. We thought it was cool to be away from other houses, but you do need to drive a bit from other nearby houses to get here. Beds comfortable, water hot, nice to have Netflix on TV. Highly recommend, especially if showing at Tryon.

In town with a friend for a music festival at the Tryon Int'l Equestrian Center. This place couldn't have been more perfect. Spacious, clean & comfortable! It was literally 7 min from TIEC. Had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The Host, Kelli, responded quickly to anything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
