This home was stunning, and the hosts made the trip so relaxing and effortless. Leading up to the trip, we had very clear and simple instructions for checking in, getting settled, getting wifi, etc. The home was so spacious and peaceful, it truly felt like home from the moment we got there. Kimberly and Gustavo were so responsive! Literally, it took minutes for them to respond to even the simple questions or requests. I couldn’t give this place a higher recommendation. Come to Rutherfordton, watch out for bears, and stay with Kimberly and Gustavo! Thank you both for a great stay 😊

This is a wonderful home in a great setting. Close enough to both Lake Lure and Rutherfordton but still very quiet and peaceful.
