The house was lovely! It was well appointed and made for a very nice relaxing weekend. The host, Helen was fantastic, and the location is very beautiful and peaceful but yet close to good restaurants. I was there with my dad for two races over the weekend, it made for a very nice short holiday!

Great experience, book it!

Perfect house for our family of 4 adults and we didn't even need the third bedroom. (you have to go outside to access it, but it's very private and comfortable.) We highly recommend booking this home. Helen was responsive and welcoming and kind. House was spotless and comfortable. 5 stars all around. We will absolutely be back.

Stunning views and amazing character!

The photos do not do this house justice. The character and charm is incredible, and the property is inviting and cozy. My husband and I stayed with his father and our toddler, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We didn’t realize the third bedroom was not accessible from the main house, but the bedrooms are spacious which allowed us to keep our toddler in his travel crib with us. Helen was so inviting and friendly, and her pup, Willow, was our toddler’s favorite. We had a wonderful time, and we hope to visit again.

Wonderful Stay

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The setting is so peaceful and serene — a deer greeted us ( from a distance) upon minutes of our arrival. My daughter and I agreed that we would both love to live there all the time. But I guess we will have to settle for another visit.

TIEC Weekend

The house was very clean and well stocked with everything you needed (maybe a Keurig coffee maker would be a nice addition). We had no issues but Helen seemed very nice and always available if we needed her. I am sure we would stay there again.

Loved it!

Beautiful home nestled in the woods at the crest of a hill. We very much enjoyed our stay and loved meeting the host's dog, Willow. There is a lot to do in the area around Tryon from equestrian activities to antique shopping. I am pretty sure we will be back.

Whimsical Getaway

Beautiful horse estate where you are greeting with a warm smile and two fur baby's. Beautiful cottage with amazing cedarwood closets. Storage and landscape was great. Helen, was amazing and understanding about my last minute booking due to a family member passing. My morning walks was refreshing and soothing. The horses are beautiful and when you leave the property. Helen, always give you a beautiful smile and a wave. Would stay again when I visit. It was perfect for my fur baby.
