Relaxing Spring weekend in Tryon

Monica provided excellent communication before and during my stay. Directions to the property were perfect and every thing I needed for a comfortable, relaxing weekend was provided. The property is nestled in a wooded development, it’s quiet and the bed was divinely comfortable. If your soul and body need a “recharge,” this is the place to go!

Cute place

Very cute place. The owners did a great job decorating and outfitting the rooms. It is very off the beaten path but the directions were good. It does not have a fully equipped kitchen - microwave but no over or range - which was okay with us but could surprise renters expecting to prepare food.

A Magical Place

My husband and I really enjoyed our one-night visit there. Monica and Roger are fantastic! Monica kept us informed about a bridge collapsed near her property and gave us specific instructions so we could arrive safely using an alternate route. The place is charming, quiet and beautiful! The bed is super comfortable. I had an uninterrupted sleep for 8 hours, which is very rare. We will definitely return when we are in the area.
