Lovely and quiet location! The cottage was an adorable artiste’s studio built in the 1920’s. The only drawback was the walk downhill, but we were fine with this. The king size bed was very comfortable.

Perfect place to stay while exploring Lake Lure and the area around the Tryon International Equestrian Center! Clean, cozy, comfortable cottage, close to town, but removed just enough to provide to provide privacy and relaxation. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen and bath were well appointed. We had a great stay and would definitely visit again!

This historic handbuilt 1920's cottage was perfect for a girls trip to Tryon. The owner was beyond friendly and the cottage was well appointed.

The cottage is so well appointed and easy to operate inside - the hosts thought of everything anyone might need. We loved the historic nature of the place and Vana was the most gracious host as well as her husband who kindly helped us with our bags. The location is wonderful, so close to town you could walk! We can't wait to go back!

We try to book Vana's cottage whenever we're in the area. Beautifully furnished with full kitchen and VERY comfortable king bed along with convenient location. Highly recommended.

We truly enjoyed our stay here! Vana is lovely and does a fabulous job of making you feel warm and welcome. The property has everything you need in a beautiful setting and is overall packed with charm. A very short drive or a nice walk to downtown Tryon where there are lots of shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again!

This guest house was just as advertised. Perfect for the 2 of us as we attended a Bluegrass festival at the nearby equestrian center. Bed was super comfy. Sidewall Pizza is nearby and that was a plus. We would definitely stay here again.

This little guest house is full of charm, originally built as an art studio for the original owner of the main house. The host does a wonderful job of having everything you might need there. The house is well appointed. She is exceptionally friendly and is right there if you have any problems. Highly recommend

A very sweet cottage in a lovely town, Tryon NC. My friend is a fan of Nina Simone and that was the draw for us. However, we found beautiful waterfalls to visit and excellent shops and galleries to wander.

This cottage was absolutely perfect! From its cool history to the nicest host on the planet, we loved our stay. The cottage has so much character. The photos on VRBO do not do it justice. The setting was gorgeous and the lighting bugs put on quite a show for us! We ordered takeout and sat outside the cottage for dinner. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept so well. We highly recommend and will hopefully be back!

We loved our stay!! Our host was so thoughtful, and anticipated our every need. A lovely charming spot with a wonderful collection of books. Poetry verses scattered throughout to make you appreciate your stay even more. The bed was extremely comfortable, and great water pressure in the shower. Thank you Vana. We would love to return!!

This Cottage is Charming and Comfortable, Elegantly Appointed with Biltmore Estate Bedding yet simplistic with attention to detailed in the Original Architectural Design. Love the provenance that it has stayed family owned since it was hand built as an artist studio. Perfect location, just up the hill from the Fine Arts Center, shops and restaurants of Tryon. You are right next to town but nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Fun star watching at night. Vana was wonderful with communicating information about our reservation.

This little cottage is really adorable with really nice decor. It was our second time staying there. The king bed is so amazingly comfortable! Has 2 comforters on it and super soft sheets, plus a really good mattress. Wifi is really good and the TV is big and modern. A few things to be aware of in the kitchen; all the appliances (except the Keurig) are somewhat vintage. The oven doesn't work, but the stovetop does. Microwave is an older model and the mini fridge doesn't make ice. (would have been nice to have ice this summer) So, I would recommend eating out or just making very simple, stovetop dinners and keep ice in a cooler. Enjoy this quaint cottage! I would love to stay in the winter and have a fire in that big fireplace and be all cuddled up in that amazing bed. How cozy is that?
