Quiet wooded cottage. We saw so many deer. Back porch had beautiful view of woods. Had 5G coverage but was a bit slow. Super clean and comfy and we could bring our dog.

What a wonderful and wonderfully relaxing stay. We loved the floor to ceiling windows providing a peaceful view of the woods, and the bed is the most comfortable we have experienced. Thank you, Shelley! You are a fantastic host.

Great weekend retreat!

We just finished up a great three night stay at this property with our pups. The property was just as advertised, very clean and relaxing, and the owner couldn’t have been more hospitable ! Highly recommend - just as beautiful as pictures show!

Love to hear this from you Katie, nothing makes us happier then to hear that people, such as yourselves, have enjoyed their stay. I do also wish to add, a thank you for the extreme care that you took with your 3, rather LARGE pups, lol... you were meticulous and it is very greatly appreciated. I've seen more evidence of a canine, from a toy poodle, and not a spec, from yours. Hope to see you return sometime, with that baby in tow.

Perfect hideaway!

We were looking for a retreat from the busy world we live in! Was just what we needed. Well maintained, clean, and comfortable. Several quaint small towns surrounded our location with great local shops and restaurants. Would stay there again ,our host was most helpful and friendly.

Horse show stay

My husband and my teen student/apprentice stayed at Shelley's cottage for the weekend when we were in town for a horse show at TIEC. It was great, not too far from the horse park, and Shelley was very clear with instructions. The cottage was lovely and very accomodating for my dog!

Cottage in the woods

Great stay! Clean! I am allergic to cats and dogs and had a bit of difficulty breathing while sitting on the couch, however the listing DID say pet friendly.

Very cozy cabin

We so enjoyed our stay here while visiting family at Tryon Estates. Great location for what we were in town for. Very clean and comfortable, kitchen has everything we needed, and I will especially comment on the abundance of fluffy towels! Lovely deck overlooking a wooded area, very quiet. We especially appreciated Shelley’s attention with a small problem, which was immediately fixed. Looking forward to staying again!

NICE STAY for a couple days

This property was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Appreciated the extra blankets for my dogs. The bath towels were plush and the shower hot. I was out for most of the day exploring the beautiful area. Nice to come back to a comfortable place, sit on the deck and watch a little TV at night.

Hi Kelli, It was a pleasure to host your stay, and I am so glad that you enjoyed the accommodations. I especially loved the note that you left, and your kind words. We share our cottage, not just for the added income, but for the joy that so many feel, at having spent time here. It is with that thought that I am writing now in the hopes of clarifying your review. In nearly 9 years we have received consistent 5 out of 5 stars, with the exception of one 4 star until now. I wish to know if this was indeed your intention or an error on your part. I would like to take this opportunity to learn and improve our guest’s stay, should this be the case. Thank you, Shelley Cottage At Pirates Cove

Quiet place in the wood near all conveniences

Wonderful stay. Beautiful home well stocked. Comfy bed. Lovely deck for sitting outside enjoying nature only 15 min to Tryon equestrian center. Wineries near by. Host was communicative and helpful. Great place to bring your dog. We will be back.

Tree Retreat

Very relaxing setting that had an abundance of kitchen items not normally available - foil, saran wrap, baggies, spices. Bed was comfortable and sheets were very soft. Hostess even had towels available to clean pet paws! She walked us through using tv and asked about wedding that we attended while there. Great stay!

The house and location were great! It was very peaceful and we enjoyed watching all of the deer that were around. We had everything we needed for our stay. Shelley was a great communicator and very accommodating. Any questions we had were answered quickly. The check in/check out process was easy. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect getaway place!!

Hidden Gem is right! My boyfriend and I spent Valentine's weekend here... can't say enough about it from the amazing accommodating host... to the beautiful deck, comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower to awesome location. Close to restaurants and wineries yet a feel of being private in a gorgeous setting. Probably one of the cleanest VRBO's we have ever stayed and the host was without a doubt the best ever to work with. Our only regret is we couldn't stay longer!! We cant wait to go back!! Perfect for a romantic, relaxing getaway... a must book!!!

Goregous

We decided to do a weekend get away for our one year anniversary and we couldn’t of picked a better place. Shelley has been amazing from the beginning steps of booking. She is amazing. She left us goregous flowers upon arrival, which meant so much to us. She has been in constant touch with us sharing places to visit and some great eateries! We wish we could give this beautiful house and owners more than 5 stars. We’ve had an amazing long weekend and can’t wait to come back in the future. Also, our dogs got to come with us and they had so much fun!
