Quaint & modern apartment over garage

I was in town for a horse show at Harmon Field and this apartment was perfect for my stay! With it only about 7 minutes away from the show grounds and Main Street Tryon it was a perfect location! It was clean, spacious and the owners went above and beyond with snacks, coffee, breakfast food etc. I would definitely stay here again when in town.

Great Columbus Stay

What an awesome and quiet place to stay in Columbus. Great weather for the Tryon Beer Fest weekend. Firepit area was fantastic to be able to sit out there after grilling out. If anyone would ever forget any toiletries or anything else, the owners were guaranteed to already have thought of it and had items for guests if needed. Outstanding communication from Rose with quick and very helpful with any correspondence. Highly recommended locale!

The Oaks... a mindful place

This little cottage in the woods of the lower Blue Ridge mountains provides an opportunity for the traveler to be free of life's complications and fully engaged in the present moment... to appreciate the simple beauty of nature, family, friends and yourself. Great attention has been given to this place to create a space that nurtures the mind, body and soul.

Simple Serenity

In the words of Goldilocks… “this one is just right!” Though my stay was brief, this little cottage in the woods gave me the perfect yin for all the yang in my life. Hopefully, my next visit will be a bit longer.

Wow, this place was amazing . Our Host Rose went above and beyond. We had a wonderful time exploring the area, hiking and visiting the sites. The property was superb, all the amenities plus fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies were waiting for us when we arrived. That sealed the deal. Five stars all the way around.

Fully stocked, clean, oasis in the woods

This place was amazing! So clean, so comfortable, and stocked full of essentials. I couldn’t get over how every last detail was thought of. Our kids loved running around in the woodsy property and exploring nature. The decor was very aesthetic and the bed was comfortable. Blackout shades helped provide a great nights sleep and every window had them. Probably the best small place we have ever stayed in and will recommend to all!

Is it possible to rate this property higher than EXCELLENT?! We arrived to this beautiful property in the dark, pouring rain. We were greeted to an amazing space, homemade cookies and all the comforts of home. Our daughter enjoyed the games, toys, and books left for kids and my husband and I are already talking about upgrades to our own home based on the décor and style of this property. We hope that we have the chance to visit again because we would jump at the chance to stay here again. Highly recommended!

Wonderful hospitality - Exceptional Home

From the moment we entered, we felt welcomed and at home. This home is well equipped. We lacked for nothing. Appreciated the food provided so we could have breakfast before heading out for the day. The homemade granola and fruit was terrific. Our questions were answered promptly. The checkout process was easy. The home is exceptionally comfortable. It was awesome seeing the white squirrels. We strongly recommend this for your stay in Columbus. You won't be disappointed. We definitely will plan to stay here again when we return next year.

Considerately set up!

You can tell the owners have spent time thinking about their guests and ways to make them feel comfortable. They had a variety of staples available (variety of sugars, creamer, coffee) and small items (Ziplock bags and makeup wipes) that just went that extra step in making you feel comfortable. They even had extra little snacks for our enjoyment that really made us feel valued. There was a nice deck, a fire pit, and swing that I wish we had had more time to enjoy. I would recommend this stay without any hesitations! Very comfortable.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

My wife, kids and myself all had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful mountain getaway. Not only is this house beautiful and modern, but they provide all of the little things that make your stay that much more comfortable. We were especially grateful for the pack and play as well as the air mattress that were provided. These made staying with a toddler and an infant a breeze without making it feel crowded. We will definitely be looking to stay here again next time we are in the area!
