My sister and I sold a house in Florida and decided in North Carolina was where we were going to relocate. We need a space for us to spend a month while we house hunted. We needed a property with a fence backyard for our two special-needs pups. We found Ben and Lori‘s place in Rutherfordton. It sounded perfect. It exceeded all our expectations. This wasn’t just a rental. This was a home warm and welcoming. Ben and Lori was wonderful to work with and although we really didn’t need to contact them because it was so easy everything was laid out well and clearly explained. The dogs loved the fenced backyard and we loved the herd of deer that spent a lot of time outback. Our lies have been so tumultuous right now with moving and all that entails that it was just nice that this part was so easy.Thanks again, Ben and Lori!

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.

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

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!
