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

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.

Wonderful Owners
Backstory entails that we were building a house and needed several short term stays. I can honestly say it was (and to a degree still is) a stressful time. Lori and Ben were our last hosts during this lifetime event, and we could not find two more caring and responsive hosts in the VRBO world. They were not only hosts, but our neighbors for 2.5 months. We felt well taken care of during our stay which included our pup. The location was close to town, shops and restaurants, and we were only 15 minutes on a bad day from our home building site. Thank you Lori and Ben!

Perfect Location
This place is in a perfect location. You can be in Asheville in under an hour, Tryon in 20 minutes. Not a long a drive from many unique small towns. The house itself is perfect for a get away. Close to town, but isolated enough to hear nature. The house is beautiful and love the piano in the main bedroom. I would recommend for your next trip to NC.

We arrived late in the evening and entering the house was easy. The house was warm and inviting. The coffee, tea, and snacks were a nice surprise. The beds are comfy and I slept like a baby. The boys and I had a great time cooking in the kitchen and we had all the supplies we needed. Corky, my little dog, enjoyed the fenced in back yard. We will definitely be staying here again.

So very nice
Lovely and comfortable home. Very clean and cozy. Really appreciated self check in and owner response. Comfortable beds, soft linens and towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. The living had super comfortable furniture. The home is well organized and self-assured. We could relax there. I especially loved the front yard plants and shrubs and trees. It was such a nice blend of wild and well loved. I really enjoyed sitting on the porch and drinking my coffee in the morning while looking at the wide variety of green before me. This spot is a keeper. I will definitely bookmark it for future visits to this area.

Long needed vacation
Nice home with a great kitchen. We cooked every night and ate wonderfully. Ingles has a better food experience than food lion. The owners were easily accessible and extremely helpful and polite. We took day trips but enjoyed the evenings watching the bird feeders, fireflies and rabbits in the yard. Lots of interesting books and artwork. We did hikes and waterfalls, NC Arboretum, and Grassy Creek Mineral show in Spruce Pine. It was great to be close to the mountains again. Give this place a stay.
