Disliked: Communication
I will start by saying the property and surrounding views are absolutely gorgeous. The property has much character and potential. I was aware of the personal items in the home from other reviews and visits to the property but want to reiterate that the home is very lived in so if this is not your style I would find somewhere different. Think toothbrushes and shampoo in all the bathrooms, personal cards on the tables, etc. That didn’t bother me. Another thing to note is the house is full of windows which are gorgeous but uncovered at night which is a little exposing. We were also met with a hand written to do list including cleaning the floors, and putting the dishes in the dishwasher (which was already full of dishes so we hand washed ours) despite paying a cleaning fee. The biggest issue is that this is advertised as an event space and I would never in good faith recommend someone host a large event here. There were many miscommunications, such as the barn being full of furniture when we arrived to set up for my wedding. This I could live with but the true shocker was the owner showing up two hours prior to my ceremony and not once, but twice verbally accosting my close friends and family. After the event, I was called names by the owner, insulted and told I did not deserve the discount she claimed to have given me (which she didn’t) and asked for money from me. This is fine for an overnight stay, I would be wary of the owners mental state and avoid events.

Family Vacation

We were looking to stay in this exact area to visit some family for a trip. The house is beautiful and was the perfect size for our family. Ursula was very responsive and helpful with anything we needed, as well! Our kids also had a great time running around the property as there is so much space! We had a great time.

A special place.

Such an amazing property. I felt more like we were at a Bed and Breakfast. Ursula is the kindest, most attentive owner that lives on the property. She helped me carry my luggage in, fresh flowers were placed inside and she baked a cake for us. Such a special place and can’t wait to come back.

Guest

I want to start by saying that the host was very nice, but unfortunately, the house did not meet our expectations. We had planned to stay for 7 nights with 4 people, but I ended up leaving after just 3 nights, and the other guests found alternative accommodations. The house was cluttered with personal items in room, which made it feel uncomfortable. Additionally, the house was dirty and felt very lives in. Additionally, we did not check in the first night because we could not get ahold of the host and were afraid to drive an hour there with no directions into the house. Despite my early departure, I had no communication from the host afterward, nor was there any offer for a refund. We spent over $4,000 for a 3 nights stay. I’ve never left a negative review before, but I feel it’s important to share this experience.

Hello Sloane, I am sorry to read this review as yours is very different from everyone else who has stayed at my property prior. The house is on a farm property and it is furnished in a rustic, European fashion. I am sorry that this is not your taste although the photos of the property are accurate. The prior reviews never indicated that the house was "cluttered" and so I am sorry that you had this impression. It is a cozy, European style house and most find it very comfortable. It is unfortunate that you describe it as "dirty and very lives in" (sp.) as the house was professionally cleaned, as always, prior to your arrival. All guest communication is through VRBO and the house was open and ready for your arrival on Monday, October 21st. Again, I am sorry this is your impression however it is not consistent with the experiences and reviews of my other prior guests. Regards, Ursula

Property manager very kind. Left us food in oven for when we arrived & put away groceries we ordered. The house is large. Beautiful property & views, large windows. Great location to Tryon Equestrian (though not 5 minutes as advertised). I do not feel the 5 star reviews provided transparency. It is hard for me to, due to Ursula's kindness. But I would like full discloure before spending thousands on a home rental,so I will provide 'the rest of the story'.Home is extremely cluttered. Every inch of space covered w/random items. The house is extremely lived in (think used razors & soap bars in the bathrooms), someone else's half-eaten food stuffed in the door of the fridge, appears like someone actually lives here. The cleanliness was a challenge, probably in part due to the level of clutter. But even the coffee pot my hubby tried to use was filthy & halfway through scrubbing chunks of mold (not just coffee grounds) out of the bottom of it he decided to skip coffee. The kitchen had an ant problem-lines of ants moving across the counter if anything was left on counter. We started putting oats for oatmeal, cereal boxes etc. in fridge to keep ants out. I had to contact Ursula day before to find out how to get in. The house is just left open, no key provided to lock from outside during your stay when you come and go from home. No top-sheets on beds. Both main-level beds double beds. One of the large beds actually located on a porch upstairs.Not posting pics out of respect for owner.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello!
My name is Ursula and I am a retired teacher who loves her farm with the most spectacular mountain views in the area. I have three children and six grandchildren so I stay quite busy. I love my pastures and ponds and my flower field which is planted with wildflowers every summer. My property is verdant and picturesque and a perfect vacation or getaway spot for my guests.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a gorgeous, comfortable house to rent during your visit to Western NC or specifically the Tryon International Equestrian Center you will love this location. You can watch the sun rise from the upstairs sleeping porch, spend the afternoon lunching and resting on the deck and view the amazing sunset from the spa tub. You can walk or ride bikes around the area and take in rolling pastures and Blue Ridge Mountain views. Restaurants, wineries and other amenities are just a short drive from the house. I look forward to meeting you and to hosting you and your guests at my Out Of The Blue farm!
