The home was easy access and great location close to Rutherfordton. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. We liked the small fenced in area in the back yard for our small dogs to run around. We would stay again if we are back in the area.

Fair price

It was a very clean home. Antique lovers will appreciate the decor. We were there trying to figure out where to retire. The description was vague on the heating. There is no heating in the bedrooms. It was cold, but lots of blankets so we did ok. Over all if you want to be in this region, I recommend a stay.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Byers

Host profile image
Ben and Lori are natives of the area and know the area well. We love our beautiful "neck of the woods." Ben holds a B.S. in Environmental Science and Lori has an M.Ed. in English Education, with a background in both teaching and tutoring, creative writing, and IT design. Lori grew up in this ancestral home place and continues a long tradition of caring for the land, conservation, and love of nature. We look forward to sharing our home with you. Enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

Safe neighborhood, semi rural setting, mountain views on clear days, close to town, rails to trails, amenities, local attractions.

What makes this property unique

The property is Lori's ancestral family home place with a rich history, flora, and fauna. The home is located close to town (but not in town). Natural beauty surrounds the area, including Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, South Mountains, Tryon, Marion, and more. Hiking and biking on the Rails to Trails is less than a mile away. The home is close to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (14 miles). We are also close to Isothermal Community College and the Foundation Performing Arts Center, the Rutherford Regional Airport, and the Rutherford Hospital.
