1920's Historic Mountain Home

Blown away. We were in town for a Spartan race which will be an annual event for our family. Now I can’t imagine staying any where else.

We come to Tryon every year for Thanksgiving. This is our favorite property due to the nice gathering spaces, fireplace, spectacular views, and proximity to town. The kitchen is well-stocked and the bedrooms are comfortable.

I rented this spot for some of my closest friends to stay for my wedding. The house is gorgeous, quiet, and secluded, and made for the perfect gathering place for everyone to meet, make a pancake breakfast, and spend time around the fire. I highly recommend it to bring people together.

We had 10 people on our team stay here and it was a great gathering place for 10 people. The bathroom and bedroom situation left a little to be desired as there are really only 3 bathrooms and 4 toilets. There are 11 beds altogether but 4 of them are in close quarters. Thankfully our male/female mix worked out but I'd make sure it works for your group. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and tools and was well stocked with spices and such. Plenty of fire wood for the fireplace and back porch fire pit. Our team thought is was a really cool old house. I'd recommend it for a tight knit group or a family.

We absolutely loved our stay at Richard's home! Every room in the home feels like a cozy, warm piece of art! Richard has thought through every detail. The beds are very comfortable, and the mountain backdrop to the home is stunning! The home had everything a guest may need. We brought 11 ladies for a retreat and everyone loved the home!

we were in town for our daughters wedding and stayed here with family/friends. This home is perfect! it's unique, beautiful and met every expectation.

WE REALY LOVED THE PROPERTY. EVERYTHING WAS SO CONVENIENT FOR OUR CROWD. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EVERYONE. HAVING EVERYTHING YOU NEED AT YOUR DISPOSAL MADE THE STAY TROUBLE FREE. WE REALLY ENJOYED STAYING THERE.

Eclectic in the best sense of the word. We had many discussions about the house and property itself. The owner actually had an informative binder of construction and upgrade history. The owner had every possible necessity stocked and available. It was the perfect space for our annual reunion.

The english meaning for the Spanish word 'encanto' can be charm, enchantment or magic. This house has all of those qualities. From the splashes of color in various rooms to the puzzles, chess board and many comfortable sitting areas to read a book or to share an inmate conversation with love ones, there is definitely captivating charm. Upon arrival the house draws you in to explore. With three floors and a few steps down to the living room each hallway, room, nook and cranny is an adventure. So much so, my granddaughters and I went on an exploration to find Bruno, the mysterious uncle in the Disney movie Encanto that nobody talks about. He lives in the walls of the house and the main character, Mirabel, eventually finds him. We were mesmerized by the enchantment and discovery of the secret room (the boiler room) that had clothes and a pair of shoe that we think belong to Bruno! There was even a door that lead outside so he could escape if he wanted to! All squeaks and giggles kept us exploring for quite a long time then Papa needed a nap. As our stay lasted for two nights and three days, there were certainly plenty of time share with the whole family. The most magical moment was working on the big puzzle on the dining room table. It started with Abby and Grampa Donald but concluded at 11:05 PM with everyone trying to finish and Grampa Donald placing the last piece to complete the puzzle. A big cheer with raised glasses was a tribute to our stay and the love of family!

We stayed at Richard's beautiful house while in town for Pony Club National Championships at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. We had 9 Pony Clubbers competing in Championships and parents along on the trip to watch, volunteer and of course pay for all the fun. The home was nice and relaxing. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed two dinners for everyone at the house. The adults enjoyed sitting on the back deck watching the sunset. I loved watching all the different birds that came to the bird feeder right outside the little room where I set up my computer for work. Richard had everything we needed for our visit. Everyone had a great time. I know we would all visit again. Thanks for being such a great host. Jennifer Yudow
