Quiet, secluded, safe and stylish

This beautifully appointed studio in the basement of an older home is spacious enough for two people. Charming rooms with stone walls and wood beams, beautiful linens, a functional --but small, note no stove/oven --kitchen. Located conveniently just a few minutes off the main road in Tryon. (Note, tough to find the first time at night, so don't check in after dark.) Really a delightful place to stay, I hope to be back.

Relaxing Spring weekend in Tryon

Monica provided excellent communication before and during my stay. Directions to the property were perfect and every thing I needed for a comfortable, relaxing weekend was provided. The property is nestled in a wooded development, it’s quiet and the bed was divinely comfortable. If your soul and body need a “recharge,” this is the place to go!

Beautiful and Relaxing

My husband and I went away for a few days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Monica has done a wonderful job making the space not only lovely to look at but also very comfortable and relaxing. Although there isn't an oven, there are plenty of appliances to make simple food and coffee/tea. She was great at reaching out to answer any questions or help if needed. We had the best weather, the trees were so colorful and we enjoyed hiking and exploring the area.
