Great spot for horse show goers
Conveniently located house on a charming road close to TIEC. My daughter and I enjoyed commuting back and forth during her horse show. Modern and clean decor with full kitchen. Look forward to staying here next time!

Horse show
My daughter was showing at Tryon and the location was super convenient. It had everything we needed and was perfect for us to bring my daughters rescue poodle.

TIEC Horse Show Stay
This was our first time to Tryon. My daughter and I were there for a horse show at TIEC. I have never booked and stayed at a VRBO property without my husband and was a little nervous traveling by myself with my daughter, but felt completely safe at this property. The house was extremely clean and had everything that we needed and was only 7 minutes from TIEC which was perfect since we had our dog with us as well and had to check on him throughout the day. The host was very responsive to all of my questions and also let us book an additional night when we were too tired to make the 6 hour drive home after a change in my daughter's horse show schedule. We will absolutely be back at Tryon and will be staying at this property if it is available. Highly recommend!

Great stay close to TIEC.
House was clean, well appointed, and newly renovated. The only down side was......arriving home one evening to find a huge fire directly behind the house. Fire department arrived same time we did. They were confused and not very knowledgeable. According to the fire department our host owned the land and confirmed that they had intentionally started the fire. They were taking direction via phone with the forest rangers, couldn't decide if it was too close to the tree line, but left with out a word. Not a great feeling with a huge fire burning in your back yard. The wet conditions kept the fire burning and smoking for days, so outside of the house smelled like smoke 24/7!

Thank-you for the review- I’m sorry about the fire- our property ends at the fence line and it was our neighbor who was burning his large brush pile! We were actually out of town that weekend ourselves only to hear about the fire from our neighbors! I’m sorry about the smoke and fire but unfortunately we can’t control what the neighbor does!

Fabulous experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Sarah was responsive and helpful. The house was amazingly appointed with everything we needed and super clean! The pull out bed I'm the couch was the most comfortable pull out I've ever slept on. Beds were comfy too. Great experience and I would definitely return. 😁

The house was very nice and clean. Well appointed. It was a respite from the busy show grounds- quiet and peaceful. The RV pads are right next to the house.

Perfect place for our stay
We had a great stay at Sarah’s property! It was a really short distance from the TIEC, the home had everything we needed, super clean, with a tranquil backdrop. A plus was that my boys enjoyed the animals (horse and goats) fenced in close by. Sarah was very accessible and flexible with us. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Cute & clean accommodation
Cottage is very cute & clean with all of the amenities you need and it was very quiet. It was also close to the horse show & easy to get on the highway to go to neighboring towns for groceries. Very comfortable for 2 couples & easy for an extra person on the hide a bed. The owner was quick to respond to questions.

Excellent alternative to a hotel!
The home was extremely nice and very clean. Sara (owner) was very nice, helpful, and responsive. Very convenient to Tryon International. As is the case with everything in the area, the home was in a remote setting but still felt very safe. This was my first VRBO experience. It was a much more comfortable stay than a hotel and will definitely go this route in the future. Home provided everything we needed (and more) with the exception of body soap for the shower and shampoo. Being accustomed to staying in hotels where that is provided, I hadn’t thought to pack either. Only other comment I would make, just for clarification purposes, is that the listing states there are three bedrooms but it is actually two bedrooms and a sleeper sofa but we made it work. Would definitely recommend this property to others looking for a 2 bedroom home in the area!
