About this property

The Gingerbread House

Enjoy a stay at this charming small cottage decorated in a subtle Christmas-y style. Situated beside a small sheep farm, yet only a short drive from several towns, this cottage offers both shade trees and front porch sitting in the country - and the convenience of being only 4.2 miles from The Tryon International Equestrian Center, nearby grocery stores, bakeries, coffee shops, and antique shops. This newly remodeled space is decorated with a mix of simplicity and charming country living.

I had a short, but wonderful stay at the Gingerbread house! It was easy to find and navigate the entry process. The house was adorable and had everything I needed. Great communication with the host Joe. I got in later in the evening and he asked if I'd like some lights on - very thoughtful and appreciated. Looking forward to booking another stay when I'm out that way again.

The Gingerbread House was one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The house was very clean and I really appreciated the privacy. My phone got me a little mixed up on directions, but Joe met me and pointed me in the right direction. He even offered farm fresh eggs! I had the best night’s sleep too!The only regret is that I had to get back home and couldn’t stay longer. I love the area and will definitely be back again! Many thanks to the hosts!

My stay at the Gingerbread House was perfect. House is very clean and the host is extremely helpful and responsive if anything is needed. The house was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. Such a cute place, especially at Christmas. Nice property to walk pets if needed. I will definitely stay again.

Nice cottage, but some windows had no covering. No water was left in fridge as said, overall it was a pleasant stay

Thank you for the review, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry about the water bottles in the fridge, that was an oversight when we were stocking the hot chocolate and coffee. The house is on a very clean well with drinking water. Sorry about the windows, there are windows that are facing a secluded area that are uncovered. We are always open to feedback and appreciate your stay and feedback.
