Cottage on the Broad River

This is a beautiful home on the Broad river in gated community. We have family in Rutherfordton and this house was perfectly located for us to visit with them. It had everything we needed. I will be staying here again.

Would recommend

The house is beautifully decorated and has a lot of complimentary homey touches. It was very clean and inviting. Joanna, the host, was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. There are not many restaurants nearby, so we utilized the Tyron Equestrian restaurants. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Great area. Comfy house.

Communication before, during and after our stay was great. House was comfortable. Was super close to everything we needed. During our stay the primary shower wasn't available, but we just used the other one. Internet felt slow to us, but only our teens were truly affected. 😉 Wish we had time to explore the river access. Will definitely look into this property again when we go back to TIEC.

Family Christmas in Rutherfordton

This was a beautiful home with a great view off the back porch of the Western Carolina foothills. The fold-out kitchen table was amazing for our large Christmas dinner. The kitchen appliances, serving/storage items, and utensils are great. There was an empty cabinet shelve to store some of our things. For that area, the driveway was not too steep. The front and back porches are nice. This gated community was quiet and easy to use the roads for walks. There is a park down by the river.

Tryon Horse Show

I went to the Tryon International Equestrian Center for a week, for the first time. The house was very convenient and with just two women in the house, we felt very safe. And it was very close (10 minutes) to the show grounds. The house was adorable. Clean and well appointed. There was much appreciated coffee and snacks in the kitchen, which helps a lot when you arrive late. Great towels. And televisions in each bedroom and great room. This is certainly one of the nicest VRBO homes that I have rented, and I’ve rented a lot, being on the road so much. Will definitely stay there again, should I return to the horse show next year. Thanks so much

Perfect Cottage

Myself and two teens rented this house for a week long horse competition at Tryon. It was perfect. Quick and easy drive to Tryon - just one exit away. Took less than 10 minutes from the driveway to the entrance of the horse park. House was the perfect size. Beds were very comfortable and the house was well equipped with everything you need for a stay. The host was great and had snacks waiting for us upon arrival. We needed nothing and she was responsive when we had a question. The back deck is large and overlooks a lovely natural backyard. I got to listen to the birds call early in the morning including some owls. Only negative is there are only two chairs on the deck. Would love to see more furniture added to the deck including a dining set. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat as it gave us the space we needed and the quiet we needed after a long day of competition.

Convenient to Tryon International Equestrian Center

We chose this house for the convenience to the Equestrian Center where our granddaughter was competing over the weekend. The location was great. The house itself was clean, nicely furnished and a thoughtful variety of complimentary snacks and coffee. We were busy with equestrian events our whole stay, but there are lots of other things offered in the area. The hostess was very helpful to resolve a check in issue.

Was a nice place just too far from the wedding venue

I was under the impression she said 20 minutes from house boehme but was actually 35-40 minutes. Which we were the parents of the bride so was also of driving back and forth. We only had one roll of paper towels when we got their and no Kleenex wish would have been more coffee pods they were all fruity raspberry and banana foster everything else was well stocked. Easy process. We didn’t get to spend much time there. But would have enjoyed the outside and deck if we could have.
