Our Saluda Stay

This was my first experience booking through VRBO. My choice could not have been better. Teri answered my questions quickly and house was perfect for us and my 90+ parents. They enjoyed "sitting" up in the trees on the porch. The house was comfortable and quiet and we instantly felt at home.

Love Saluda!

We had a wonderful time at Avalon. Teri was great to work with. Extremely convenient to downtown Saluda, easy walking distance. Kids will love the convenient park at Saluda School down the hill from Avalon. Highly recommend WildFlour Bakery and Meanwhile Wine/Beer shop just down the hill from the house. Friday night pizza and single serve beers next door, perfect. House is convenient to the area and recommend Skytop Orchard during apple season. House is older, but, wonderful kitchen and living area. Can't beat the wrap-around porch. Morning coffee with crisp clean mountain air.

Secluded house near downtown

The house has 2 BR upstairs and 2 BR downstairs offering opportunity for quiet time with a large group. Even though it's surrounded by homes in the neighborhood, it feels secluded.

nice location, bedrooms very comfortable but pictures deceptive renter beware

The bedrooms were very nice and comfortable. Nice layout- kitchen nicely stocked, Generally the house was comfortable but dated. Some of our family decided to stay in a motel instead of the house but they were being picky. So we had less people stay then what we had listed for her. I thought the bedrooms were nice. Outside needs some tender loving care - paint, replace outside furniture. Broken unsafe dining room chairs and recliner. The kitchen floor had been cleaned with the wrong product so was very sticky I had to wash it. as soon as I got there (no big deal , not owners fault but cleaners) the porch had tattered ancient pendants, tattered outdoor furniture and tattered moldy covers to grill (we decided not to use it:(. No inviting white rockers like in photos. The swing in the picture was in a mud hole but it was winter I am sure it looks nicer in Spring. Ceiling downstairs showed evidence of long term leak (missing - and stained tiles)which started leaking again about a day before we left so we moved mattress she had down there out of way kept floor wiped up but this made her mad, We did not report it til we left and she was mad we moved the mattress thought we had used the mattress.It was not leaking when we left floor dry - upstairs shower related - I think - Location was nice!! Owner called within short time after we left and said we had left graffiti on walls and was mad we had not reported a leak sooner - If we were closer we would have gone back to see what grafitti she said had been done - I was and am in shock at her accusations. We did break the one towel rule - I forgot - So we did leave her with a lot of towels which when she pointed out as I am driving home - she was irrate ( I told her I would have been too if I had found grafitti on the walls????). I offered to pay for the extra time the cleaners spent on towels. That was very very inconsiderate of us. I cannot apologize enough I usually wash all that stuff even when not required. I shall remain grateful to her for renting her house to us - so we could together as a family to welcome a new and unexpected child to our family and spend New Years together during a pandemic. I have avoided writing this review. I want to stick with the good memory. I checked everything before we left she said graffiti was small and behind something so I guess if it was there I missed it. If it is true I am horrified one of my grandkids did such a thing and told her there will be consquences.

Perfect for along weekend with family.

As always, we had a wonderful stay at Teri’s home. She had flowers waiting for us and they were a welcoming touch. My daughter and our dogs were able to relax before she starts chemo. The house is so comfy and spacious, along with the wonderful location to downtown Saluda. Thank you Teri! We had a wonderful getaway and will definitely rent again. Highly recommend.

Wonderful

Teri's property was a delight to stay in! Family flew out from all over the US for my brother's wedding and 9 of us easily fit into the house. The big dining room table was a perfect location for all of us to gather with our coffee and catch up after not having seen each other for some time. My only recommendation is putting large numbers on the house so it is clear that the house is number 30, otherwise if you are arriving after dark (even in the day) it can be a bit confusing.

Very comfortable house, easy access to everything!

The house is very spacious and clean, with most kitchen needs well stocked. It is very easy to relax here. This, and the location near everything gave us lots of flexibility for meals (eat in or out), hanging out, or going on outings. We could walk or bike into town for a coffee or to do some browsing of the shops (hours do vary a bit). The food is incredibly good everywhere. Right in Saluda is The Gorge Zipline and Green River Rafting, and Asheville is about 40 minutes away, where we explored one day, and went to the Biltmore another day. A day or two driving in the mountains allowed us to enjoy the mountains with hikes to waterfalls and swimming holes, and we topped off the trip to one of the best ever meals at the Purple Onion in town. Weather app showed rain every day, but storms were quick, and not even accurate every day. Dogs can go many places in Saluda and in Asheville. Teri was extremely responsive, helpful, and friendly in all our communications. We met a neighbor who used to rent the house from her regularly who also spoke highly of her. With three teenage daughters, all of this flexibility and variety and outdoor recreation has made this one of our very best vacations. We would love to come back soon!

Wonderful Getaway

Teri was so friendly and responsive when communicating about the home. It is well maintained and cared for, it has a lot of space to sleep a large family. The house was so comfy and clean and nestled back in the trees. We loved the privacy along with the prime location to downtown Saluda. We had a wonderful stay!!! Thank you Teri! We would absolutely rent again!

Great location and value

Rustic home located just 5 min walk from downtown Saluda. Owner was very responsive to requests. Only hiccup was plumber hadn’t turned water back on after last minute refrigerator installation just prior to our arrival, easily resolved by telling us where the valve was located. Saluda is a nice little town with good restaurants. Excellent value.

The cottage is absolutely lovely and Teri was wonderful to work with. Everything we needed was available in the cottage. Teri was also terrific about keeping us updated on Saluda’s emergency planning as Hurricane Flo was bearing down on us. We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Teri

Host profile image
I love our home in the mountains. It's a great house for entertaining family and friends and so close to Asheville, Hendersonville and Tryon and all of their great festivals! We love our dogs and the house is pet-friendly (with pet fee/agreement).

Why they chose this property

Saluda is a fantastic town. You can walk around and shop, eat, listen to music, play at the playground - you can zip-line at The Gorge, go tubing & kayaking, fly fish or go to several waterfalls close no end to the activities.

Saluda is only minutes from the new Tryon Equestrian Facilities (TIEC & FENCE), Hendersonville Apple Festival, the Biltmore House, Grand Bohemian & Grove Park Inn in Asheville.

What makes this property unique

Best of all, I bought this house from the former Mayor and it is in the heart of downtown. You can enjoy all of the activities by walking out your front door.

I love to fly fish and the fishing is just minutes away and is really great yearound. Let me know if you need a recommendation for a Guide!
