This picturesque 1920s guest cottage features beautiful interior architectural detailing, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, pantry, washer/dryer and comfortable furnishings. The flexible floor plan of this inviting cottage allows for cozy accommodations for a couple or can be equally comfortable for a party of eight.

Equestrians will enjoy the convenience of being just 4 miles from FENCE and only 15 minutes from TIEC. The charming towns of Landrum, Columbus and Tryon are minutes away and our adjacency to I-26 allows for quick trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, Brevard, Cashiers, DuPont Forest and all the myriad attractions of this highly desirable area.

Centrally located only minutes to downtown Landrum and Tryon, Aberfoyle offers the perfect location for horse show exhibitors and other equestrian enthusiasts, as well as golfers, antique-rs, cyclists and leaf lookers.

The house was lovely! It was well appointed and made for a very nice relaxing weekend. The host, Helen was fantastic, and the location is very beautiful and peaceful but yet close to good restaurants. I was there with my dad for two races over the weekend, it made for a very nice short holiday!

Great experience, book it!
Perfect house for our family of 4 adults and we didn't even need the third bedroom. (you have to go outside to access it, but it's very private and comfortable.) We highly recommend booking this home. Helen was responsive and welcoming and kind. House was spotless and comfortable. 5 stars all around. We will absolutely be back.

Stunning views and amazing character!
The photos do not do this house justice. The character and charm is incredible, and the property is inviting and cozy. My husband and I stayed with his father and our toddler, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We didn’t realize the third bedroom was not accessible from the main house, but the bedrooms are spacious which allowed us to keep our toddler in his travel crib with us. Helen was so inviting and friendly, and her pup, Willow, was our toddler’s favorite. We had a wonderful time, and we hope to visit again.
