We were very pleased with our accommodations. We had everything we needed to enjoy two restful days and nights. The property was lovely and convenient for our purposes. Would recommend it for anyone who wants a clean, comfortable place to spend some time.

Great cabin!

Great place to stay, beautiful property. It was not the original place I had booked but due to an error the host was able to get me into a different cabin. My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the woods. The cracks in the floor are a bit wide so careful with your toes. A few minor cleaning issues but nothing that hindered our stay. Overall a great place and I would recommend the red roof cabin to other people.

peaceful sanctuary

a beautiful place where owners Steve and Laura, caretakers of the land, flora and fauna have artfully integrated gardens and sacred spaces within the natural environment. the guest quarters of the farmhouse were comfortable and thoughtfully furnished for myself and two sisters who also enjoyed hearing about the history of The Preserve from Steve. thank you for a lovely stay. we would be happy to return one day...

Awesome property

This ranks in the top five places we’ve ever stayed! Very comfortable guest house and the grounds were absolutely awesome!!! Several miles of trails with benches along the way. We highly recommend!!!! There are three cabins on the property that can be rented for a gathering of family and friends. This is also a lovely event space for weddings and larger gatherings. Not far from the Town of Rutherfordton and less than an hour from Tryon Equestrian Center.We will definitely return!

Exceeds Expectations!

Our family loved the Farm guest house. We played most of the games, I enjoyed the tourism books and the kitchen was well stocked. There was plenty of really hot water, iron & board, hair dryer, and lots of seating to enjoy the property. The best part was exploring the trails, old cabins, chapel and hammock & horseshoe !!! Hopefully it won’t rain during our next stay so we can have a campfire.

2nd time here at The Preserve at Maple Creek

This is our second time staying at The Preserve at Maple Creek. The first time we stayed in the Barn Cabin and my oldest daughter was married in the glass chapel 2 years ago. We LOVE this property! It's much more than just a place to stay. We did a little hike through the property on Thanksgiving day and had such a great time!!! My oldest lives in Rutherfordton so any time we plan to visit this is where we hope to stay!

Getting Back to Nature

The Farmhouse was just perfect for the three of us. Upstairs bedroom/bath was private as well as the downstairs bed/bath. We loved the open living and kitchen area - very comfortable with lovely furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved the outdoor eating area and landscaping was beautiful

Wonderful relaxing sisters time

We loved the property and the lodging. Working with Laura was fantastic. The property is full of history and beauty and Laura shared some of that history with us. If you want a great getaway place, this is a great place to share with close friends/family.

Relaxing

I loved this stay ! My daughter and I stayed here while at a horse show at the tryon international equestrian center. It was only 17 min away and it was so nice to have our separate bedroom and bathroom. I wish that we had more time to spend at farmhouse since there were many trails to walk but we spent most of our time at the show !

Lovely Stay

I was visiting the area for business and needed a place for my mother and I to stay. It was winter time, but still, the property is lovely. It is an old farmhouse that's in great condition, and been restored. We stayed in the Farmhouse Apartment (a private apartment attached to the main Farmhouse). It had a nice kitchen, living room, dining area, two nice comfy bedrooms (one downstairs and one upstairs), two bathrooms, lower level and upper level porch. It was clean, you can walk around the property (I'm sure it's lovely in the Spring, Summer, and Fall to walk the trails), and there's also another sitting area off the lower level patio. A seven to 10 minute drive into Rutherfordton. Quiet, peaceful, all around nice stay.

Beautiful, Relaxing Stay

My family and I booked the Farmhouse to be able to check out the property for a wedding we are looking to have there later this year. Not only was the property unique with so much for us to discover, but Laura and Steve have done such a beautiful job with updating the property while at the same time perserving its historical elements. They were so kind and had great communciation with us leading up to and during our stay! We look forward to staying here again in the fall and celebrating our special day here with our family!

The Farmhouse

We loved staying at the farmhouse! It was very clean and well decorated! There were fresh sheets and towels, games and puzzles. We didn’t get to explore the trails but would’ve loved to if we had time! It was about 15 min from TIEC where my daughter was showing.

Quiet and Relaxing

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in June. The quarters are beautiful and clean. Great quality sheets and towels. Historic Rutherfordton downtown is minutes away and easy to get to. 30 minutes to Lake Lure and Saluda. The property is beautiful and so well maintained. The owners obviously love their home and are very welcoming.
