About This Home

As of April 2025

Feel like you’re on permanent vacation in beautifully furnished 1925 storybook cottage in the woods. Excellent place to call home for a few months or longer. The quiet country location feels remote, yet it’s only 5 minutes from downtown Tryon. It’s pretty perfect - quiet, private, down a long driveway on a non-through street on the north border of the Pacolet River. Dogs conditional, and a flexible lease term (min 3 months) makes this house a great place to land between homes, while taking a break, house hunting or deciding where to live long term. Spectrum hi speed internet and utilities included. Tryon’s famous Harmon Field, a historic horse show venue since 1928, and Tryon Arts and Crafts School, is a 10 minute walk. Enjoy game fields, horse show grounds with a lunch shack, dog parks, walking and bike path, a riverfront beach, tennis, pickleball, basketball, disc golf, and special events. Tryon is convenient to Hendersonville, Asheville, Spartanburg and 3 airports.
