Newly renovated August 2021 with new paint and flooring! 7.5 miles from the Tryon International Equestrian Center! Take a break away in this simple, quaint, century old cottage! Very quiet, very rural setting on a hobby farm with goats and mini horses. The mountains, hiking, mountain biking, vineyards, and equestrian activities await you. A short trip to Lake Adger, Lake Lure, Lake James, Saluda, Dupont State Forest, Pisgah Forest, Green River Gamelands, and more! A fire pit and a short hike to mountain views! Sorry, no pets!!
You want quiet You’ve got it! Very remote, rural, and quiet Green Creek community of Polk County. Beautiful area of the N.C. foothills that is centrally located to some of the area’s most amazing outdoor activities, as well as the Tryon International Equestrian Center, Thermal Belt Rail Trail and vineyards. Simple, cute, early 1900’s cottage (about 750 square feet) on almost 18 acres with everything you need. High speed internet, and a 55” Smart TV with Chromecast. There's also a washer and dryer!

Relax out on the wrap around covered front porch! If a rain shower comes through, listen to it on the tin roof! There’s also a fire pit for guests who would like to build a campfire in the evening. A short hike to the hill at the back of the property will give you amazing views on a clear day, as well as breathtaking sunsets. Wildlife sightings are very common; we have seen deer, turkey, rabbits, groundhogs, and even skunks. Very quiet country setting.
*There is a security camera on a large outbuilding near the house for the safety of our property and guests.
Great little house for my son and I to stay at for the horse show.
Second visit, everything just as our stay in 2022 - thanks!
* miles from Tryon Equestrian, Clean updated farmhouse. Comfortable, convenient stay.
Very nice place, 15 minutes away from TIEC. Convenient, quiet, has all we needed and more. We came for US Pony Club Championship and could not ask for a better arrangement. Thank you!
This was our 2nd stay at the Little Yellow House. We love this house and the surrounding property. It’s 13 minutes to TIEC and close to Rutherfordton. We love seeing the farm animals each day plus all the wildlife (saw deer, owls, and groundhogs). This is the perfect retreat after a day of showing horses.
In town to compete at Tryon Equestrian Center. Cottage was abt 15 min drive. All was as advertised. We did not spend a lot of time there but found property clean and well appointed. Communication and availability were great. The firefly show at dark was amazing!
I had 8 great nights I spent here! Perfect for horse showing and coming back this quite place to read and prepare for my school exam. Short drive to the horse show. Will come back!
Great place. It was very clean and worked great for our family of 4 while showing at TIEC. It’s about a 13 minute drive to TIEC which was very easy. The setting is amazing. It was so quiet and my boys loved having the big yard to play in. The weather didn’t cooperate so we weren’t able to take advantage of the wonderful fire pit, but we have booked again for July and look forward to it.
We were there for one of the shows. This adorable house worked well fir the 2 of us.
My husband and I were on weekend getaway to relax and enjoy some different scenery after a year of not being able to spend a lot of time together. It was right up our alley. Some good eats, farmer’s market, thrift stores, and antique shopping. It was clean and quiet. We were able to just hang out, get out a bit, and just relax. We will certainly be returning.
Very cute cottage in great location. Very clean and easy communication with owner.
Perfect for our three night stay to attend the Peniel Baptist Campmeeting in nearby Columbus, NC. Also nearby to our daugther's family - was able to spend time with our grandson daily. Very easy stay, definitely plan to stay in the future as needed. Thanks!
Property was just what we needed and had everything we needed!!! Very peaceful and quiet and reminded us of home in the Catskills!!
It was great staying there and was close to TIEC. The mattress were awesome and we all slept well.
My friend and I stayed here for a girls weekend getaway. The house was just what we needed! It was very clean, comfortable and within a short drive to restaurants and Tryon. We look forward to going back again!
Great peaceful get away, clean, comfortable, has a fire pit, animals and horses outside, very cool.
We were there for the horse show. Everything was fine for what we needed it for. We were there very little time during the day. Beautiful area, very nice hosts. One suggestion would be a bathroom exhaust fan for showering, as it was very humid. Otherwise all was good!!
This was a nice place and close to the Tryon International Equestrian Center. We really liked that the property was private and separate from the owner's residence.
