About this property

River front log home 3 miles from Tryon Equestrian Center, gated community

This spacious log home on 2.5wooded acres has all the comforts of home with a warm “ lived in” vibe. It can easily be shared by 2 couples. Kids love the sleeping loft. A favorite feature is the large working fireplace. Enjoy roasting marshmallows at the fire pit by the river. The living room features generous vaulted ceiling that frames your view of the tall trees out back sloping down to the Green River. A large working fire place is the focal point of the room. The main floor has a split floor plan with King master suite and Queen guest suit and a sleeping loft with 2 twins. Down stairs is off limits due to hurricane Helene damage. The cabin was built in 2003, has new living room furniture. It is a country cabin so bugs crawl and leaves fall. The river depth and access from backyard bank varies. There is not a clear path or stairs at this time.

There are a wide variety of activities close by including Tryon International Equestrian Center, trails, rafting ( check updates on hurricane Helene recovery for trails open) There are many charming villages in the area.

If you are looking for modern and updated this one is not for you. This home is older, woodsy and rustic. We were primarily at TIEC horse show and didn’t spend a great deal of time at the rental. Stairs to loft area are extremely steep and narrow. Kitchen was being treated by an exterminator during our stay therefore many dead bugs found daily in kitchen which was not ideal for food prep.

Great place to stay!

The property was close to Tryon Equestrian Center which made handling the competition, horse and related matters very easy. Nice place to relax after a long day at the horse park. Steffanie, the Host, was fantastic to deal with!

Absolutely Perfect

We were in and out since we had a horse show all weekend at TIEC, but when we were able to relax, the beds were so comfortable, the pool table was a blast and you couldn’t beat that beautiful, cool river water after a long hot day. Would absolutely love to come here again!

Wish we could have stayed Longer

2 nights were not enough to enjoy the deck, scenery & peacefulness of this home. We stayed 2 nights to attend a wedding- however flights were delayed and cancelled so we got in way later than we anticipated on night 1, but we still enjoyed the lovely deck & quiet of the outdoor sounds for a couple of hours. The next morning we were off early to see family, attend family wedding, spent midnight- 3 am in the Rutherfordton's ER - my youngest adult son broke his leg at the reception. By the time we got back to the house & all got settled for the night, we all went straight to bed. Got up in time to pack up & clean up to be out by 10 a.m. the house was lovely, but we all wished we could have stayed longer or at least 1 more evening to enjoy the deck and beautiful surroundings. Next time we go to NC, we would love to stay here again. Thank you Steffanie. P.s. communication was great w Steffanie too.

Quiet little gem

Stayed here during a horse show week and it was the perfect getaway and close enough to go back & forth. Typical older lakehouse but well loved. It was perfect for a ladies getaway. Only hitch is that 4th bedroom is only accessed via attic pull down stairs which would be great for kids.... older women not so much. Plan on definitely staying again next year!

River Crest ptoperty

This was an amazing place with lots of amenities. There were 5 of us, and we were never cramped. There is a lot to do in the area, and in the surrounding areas. We enjoyed the Carl Sandburg home, King’s Mountain National battlefield, the Blue Ridge Mountain highway, Smokey mountain national park, and the International Equestrian Center. Would definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful home near Tryon

Loved staying at Steffanie’s home. It was just beautiful, tucked in the trees. The fall colors were amazing. The home has everything you could need. We cooked dinner a few nights, and enjoyed the screened in porch. The pool table was such a fun addition. I love that her parents built this home. You can tell by the different art and collectibles throughout that they had an interesting life and enjoyed their home very much. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. We were minutes away from Tryon International Equestrian Center. Took fun day trips to Saluda and Asheville. Would love to rent this home again!

Great River house!

What a great vacation house for our family of 6. All the beds were very comfortable which is important to me because I have a bad back. The kitchen was fully stocked, the pool table was great and everything inside was very clean. We did end up having to purchase our own River tubes because we could not find any on the property. It wasn’t a big deal to us, but other travelers should be aware. We also didn’t see a canoe anywhere. I didn’t give 5 stars for cleanliness because out back of the property there was some old broken down small tables and plastic bins by the shed. There was also a roll of old screen on the deck. Our favorite thing was being able to go tubing right out back of the property. We really enjoyed the convenience of this! We also loved going to Chimney Rock State Park which was about a 45 minute drive and well worth it. We loved this property and would definitely stay here again!

Epitome of Relaxing Cabin Retreat

We found the home to be exactly as described.- spacious and lovely - just like the surrounding property. Furnishings were what one would expect to find in a traditional log home - casual and comfortable but also nice. Access to the loft is via pull down ladder (like an attic access pull-down). Kitchen was adequately stocked with pots, utensils, etc. There were screens on the doors which were great for enjoying the cool evenings. Wi-fi and cell signals were fine though we hardly used either as we were too busy enjoying the outdoors during the day and game room/pool table at night. The home is located on a great part of the Green River with some spots around 3’ deep and others less than a foot. Current was mild during our stay and floating around/wading was easy. There was a small beach at the access but getting down to it could be challenging for elderly people as the embankment was a bit steep with soft, sliding sand. One note about water pressure - it was great until our final morning there when the neighbor started pressure washing at 8am. Not sure how that impacted the water for this house but there was a significant decrease in pressure. That was the only problem we had the whole time and out of the owner’s control, obviously. Two teenagers, two adults, one springer spaniel and we all felt it was one of our all-time favorite getaways. Haven’t come back from vacation feeling that relaxed in a very long time. would revisit again in a heart beat.

Enjoyment depends on your plan.

We met for small family reunion, sitting in cool breeze, fall leaves, eating meals together. This did not fulfill that due to windows could not be opened, screens were in pile on messy lower deck, LR slider screens broken doors had to be kept shut due to stink bugs, etc. Kitchen had one large pot for meatballs sauce but could only cook portions of pasta at time. Dark inside, several lamps, old, broken switches, bulbs out, or just did not work. Bed linens very old, makeup stained pillow cases. Windows including big gorgeous window by superb fireplace covered with heavy webs as well as broken windows downstairs held closed with boards. Could have been a 5 with some investment of amenities. Pluses- loved location, loved river, bathrooms had best pressure and hot water! Oh, no TVs in bedrooms, this was negative as one with us needed rest, change of scenery and sometimes in a week's vacation you like alone time in PJs watching TV. We cleaned up all webbing, hundreds of stink bugs, left pumpkin spice coffee, took out garbage, cleaned dishes, folded down beds used, left towels used together, put in many light bulbs, tried to fix slamming entry screen door for neighbors sake...nice people with the chickens! With some attention, TLC, would like to return for another weekly visit in summer. Guess it depends on how you accept this input. I spent my career as a quality manager, so maybe too frank?

The property is very nice and the location was great for what we needed. However, the yard and property needs mowing and cleaning up. There was a few minor things that needed attention and all of the linens need updating. Just needs some cosmetic attention.

About the host

Hosted by Steffanie Pearce-Vasquez

Host profile image
My parents built this log home in 2005 so that our family would have a place to gather in the summers. We have enjoyed many large family gatherings here. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives as business owners and parents of school age kids. Our family is originally from northern Ohio. We all migrated south and most of us live in southwest Florida now.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it offers a contrast to our regular life style. We enjoy the inspiring views of the mountains and cooler weather than we get in Florida summers. The gated community of log homes provides security but the neighbors know each other and are always welcoming. Wild life is abundant here, deer, humming birds, wild turkey all visit us. There are plenty of family adventures within a 45 minute drive of the cabin.
