Laureldale Cottage is a beautiful, professionally decorated, six-year-old home nestled among the trees on 140 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Tryon, North Carolina. Close to shopping, gourmet dining, theater, and incredible antiquing, yet still "away from it all."
Sit on the porch and relax, stroll on our private trails, or take a short drive to waterfalls, nature preserves, or some of North Carolina's best trout fishing. Watch equestrian events at nearby FENCE or Harmon Field. Miles and miles of challenging or leisurely hiking trails are a short distance away.
Stroll through the quaint towns of Tryon and Landrum, less than 10 minutes away. If you don't discover the perfect treasure at one of the many antique shops there, drive a short ways up the beautiful Saluda Grade to Hendersonville, Saluda or Flat Rock. There you'll find dozens more antique shops awaiting your browsing pleasure.
At the end of the day come back to rock on the porch, relax in front of the woodstove, or gather round the fire pit for a marshmallow roast.
Plan a romantic getaway for the two of you, or bring the whole gang for a vacation or family reunion. There is room to spread out with almost 1000 square feet of porches, a large great room with a cathedral ceiling, a sunroom, and a kids' den stocked with toys, games, and videos.
Don't worry if it rains. You can play pingpong and foosball, surf the net,or work out on the fitness machines in the basement and then play games or work puzzles. Watch cable TV or view movies on DVD or video.
The first-floor, master bedroom has a cathedral ceiling and private bath. The cottage sleeps a total of 11 with three additional bedrooms upstairs, and private den with a double futon. This home is recently updated and professionally decorated with lots of comfortable antiques and quilts.
Golf and tennis facilities are available nearby. Some of the country's best whitewater rafting is one and one-half hours away on the Nantahala, the Nolichucky, or French Broad Rivers. The Chattooga, site of the movie Deliverance, will challenge even the most adventurous. For those with a more tame ride in mind, rafting or tubing on the Green River is a mere 30-minute drive. Lake Lure, 45 minutes away, offers beach swimming, boat rentals, and a water park.
Brush up on history at Biltmore Estate, Cowpens Battlefield, Thomas Wolfe Memorial, Carl Sandburg House, and Walnut Grove Plantation. Soak up culture at the local galleries, the Folk Arts Center, Brevard Music Center, and Flat Rock playhouse. Visit Rockhouse Vineyards and taste their wine. Take the kids on an educational field trip to the Western North Carolina Nature Center, the Schiele Museum, Roper Mountain Science Center, the Cradle of Forestry, Pisgah Fish Hatchery, or the Greenville or Hollywild Zoo. Just for fun, zip down the Davidson River at Sliding Rock.
Whether you are seeking an action-packed week, or a quiet retreat, you can find it at Laureldale Cottage.
