Great place to stay
The property was beautiful and on good days we could even see the mountains in the background. The antiques in the property were lovely and the house was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the town of Rutherfordton even if it was small. The shops were fun and the food was good. Over all we had a great vacation in a wonderful location.

Cozy, Comfy, Country Charm
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

Lovely house
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.

Beautiful Respite
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!

Nice home peaceful area to enjoy nature.
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!
