It was a very clean home. Antique lovers will appreciate the decor. We were there trying to figure out where to retire. The description was vague on the heating. There is no heating in the bedrooms. It was cold, but lots of blankets so we did ok. Over all if you want to be in this region, I recommend a stay.

My daughter and I came up for the weekend to go to the Dirty Dancing Festival at the lake and we had a great time! The house was immaculate and very cozy! We stayed in the king bed room and the bed was very comfortable. Ben & Lori allow pets which was great and they are easy to communicate with about your stay. We will definitely be back!

The home is very well decorated with artwork and older wood furnishings. It had a real sense of peace and quiet. The view of the mountains from the backyard was beautiful. The King bed was cozy. It is well stocked with the essentials and more.

The house we stayed in was very clean and spacious. Big family room and kitchen and dining area. There are 4 window ac units that kept the house cool in 100 degree weather in July! I would recommend this house if you’re looking for a place to stay close to Tryon.

Enjoyed our stay at this home. Ice cream and steakhouse just a few minutes away. Backyard was peaceful and had a pretty view of mountain skyline. Lake Lure was about 16 to 20 minutes away to visit. Had a great time hanging out with family and our dogs. Owners were very nice also. Thanks again for taking care of our dog when he got loose right after we arrived!

We loved our stay in Rutherfordton and were taken great care of by our hosts, Ben and Lori! We were welcomed in to a peaceful, clean, well organized home away from home. Our agenda was to relax and prepare for our granddaughter's wedding without chaos. Everything to make that possible was right there at our fingertips without any hustle and hassle. I even had the time to go for a walk and take in the beautiful surrounding area. It is always great when you can step back from the busy life and just know that everything is going to be perfect today. Thanks so much Ben and Lori for making that possible. Mary C

Lori is the most gracious host I have ever meet. The house is just like the pictures. We had a WONDERFUL stay and will be back. Beds were like sleeping on clouds. Everything you need is close by. People were friendly and the mountain views from the back yard and kitchen are GREAT. Can't thank Lori enough, she went above and beyond to accommodate any need we expressed. See you soon....
