Our Place:
Gypsy Cottage has kept its soul throughout the decades with details including a reclaimed wood interior, original flooring and diamond lattice windows. Slow down and experience small moments of enchantment—like watching evening light slant through stained glass or listening to raindrops patter on the metal roof. Enjoy some smore's around the FirePit under a starry night's sky.
Greet the morning with sun salutations on the enclosed porch. Or sneak out to sip your morning coffee in the tucked-away outdoor sitting area, where the stone garden gnomes will keep you company.
Before you set off on the day’s big adventure, make breakfast in a sun-drenched kitchen with a full set of appliances. An 1830s-armoire-turned-pantry and lofted dining area with aged patina accents make even the most ordinary of mornings just a bit more charming.
Rainy afternoons are best spent curled up in an overstuffed armchair in the living area with a movie on the flat-screen TV. Or pass the time by with a book or board game—you’ll find plenty of options in the antique hutch. Evenings are made for gathering around the firepit while the moon peeks out overhead.
With two separate queen-size suites, each with soothing palettes and full en-suite bathrooms, it won’t take long for everyone in your group to feel right at home here.
Gypsy Cottage is just off of Highway 108, a 22-mile stretch of road that winds through scenic farmlands, old growth forests, and small towns rich with history. Just a 10-minute drive away is Rutherfordton’s Main Street, home to both an array of beloved local restaurants and a peaceful creekside walking trail.
Despite the quiet woodland setting, there’s plenty of excitement to be found nearby. Within a 25-minute drive, you’ll find Tryon International Equestrian Center, Forest City's Pavilion on Park Square and historic Tryon Theatre. Downtown Asheville is just over an hour away.
