Even better than described!

This was the second time I rented The Orange Door and stayed longer this time. The proximity to TIEC is fantastic! This property is just far enough off the beaten path to be peaceful, but close enough to be convenient to TIEC, Columbus and Tryon for shopping. The property is clean, very nicely decorated and the owner is very responsive and helpful. We had a cold, rainy day during our stay and were able to enjoyed the fire! I highly recommend!

My family experienced a wonderful stay behind the Orange Door while my daughter showed at Tryon Equestrian Center. It's a quick 5 minute drive and so convenient. The house has a wonderful layout, is all updated and has numerous amenities that make this a perfect option for anyone needing accommodations. Monica's communication is top notch and one maintenance need we had was tended to the same day. This will be put on a FAVORITE list!

Great location and awesome property manager!

We have stayed at The Orange Door three times now. We returned for many reasons; location, all the comforts of home and the property manager obviously takes great care and pride in providing a beautifully decorated and welcoming home away from home. Our prior visits have been brief and we ate out for lunch and dinner. This time we cooked and found everything we needed in the well equipped kitchen -except a blender which Monica promptly provided! Our dog loves it here too! We will definitely be back again!

Beautifully decorated, peaceful and so close to @TIEC!

Monica was very responsive and attentive and her property is clean, comfortable and accurately depicted in VRBO - with one exception - it’s much prettier in person! The beautiful lighting is what I noticed first when I walked into The Orange Door - such an elegant touch - I wish I could post a picture of that and the beautiful sunset from the back patio. The large back yard was great for my dog who loves to run and play frisbee. Monica has created a little gem! I’ve already booked my next visit!
