Quiet Cottage

We have stayed at Gary’s many times. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. It is a two bedroom 1 bathroom rustic house. It has everything we need for a long weekend. It is always clean.

great for a Tryon visit

this cute house was just as described in the listing, in a quiet area about 15 min drive from Tryon. It is a rustic cabin, extremely clean, furniture a mix and match style, but bedding and mattresses were very comfortable, and shower had plenty of pressure and hot water. Lots of bottled water is provided but tap water is also good. a rooster lives nearby -- can be heard in the morning, but not loud enough to wake you up. We thought he was a fun neighbor! We had a question for the owner and he responded within minutes.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Carpenter

A Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineer by trade, I enjoy fixing, building and improving things. Although I grew up in Ohio and traveled during my younger years, Columbus, NC is now home and has been for 20 years. I love the outdoors and this area has so much to offer.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house for the second time because we love it so much. We live next door so it serves as a guest house and rental house when it's not being used as a showroom for my bed building business. I build custom solid wood bed frames as a sideline business and the beds at this property were all built by me. Both the queen bed and the laundry room table in the house were built from lumber cut out of the backyard on the property. Although it's a small cottage, it's full of character and big on charm! Come visit and you will know what we mean!

If you are wanting to book accommodations for a larger group in separate living areas, there is another larger house near this property that is available - "Fox Mountain Retreat" is listed on the "other guy's" website Let us know if we can assist with arranging a coordinated stay.

What makes this property unique

This cottage features wood. Wood floors, old barn wood kitchen cabinets, old barn wood door trim and walls, and wood bed frames (hand built by the owner.) The kitchen table and benches are also "hand-made" as well as the several bedside nightstands, end tables and the "bartop" table/desk in the laundry room. To top it off, there's a wood burning stove to make you feel like you've stepped back in time (while watching your favorite movie on the HDTV!)
