Our earthen house is constructed with a proprietary system from the folks at Biotekt. it is an engineered system made from recycled plastics and fiberglass, and can withstand the weight of the dirt and sod that surrounds it quite well! The system incorporates lots of doors and windows, so there is an abundance of natural light in the dwelling (even though it is technically subterranean).

While we encourage you to rent a vehicle to explore the region while you are with us, we can arrange for airport pickup at either the Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) or the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP). Please use the Contact Form to inquire about this possibility.

While our accommodations can be entirely self-service if you desire, we are happy to offer housekeeping (and fresh towels) every other day, gourmet breakfasts delivered to your door and assistance with local reservations and itinerary planning as required. If you need something else or have a special request, let us kno, and we will do our best to make your stay extra special.

While we do have common spaces for you to enjoy, this is the owner’s residence, and we are sharing our own spaces with you - so, no there is no event space on our property. There are certainly event venues nearby, and our 6 bedroom Laurel Manor house can be used for small-scale gatherings with advanced notice and approval from the hosts.

Yes! If you are staying with us and don’t want to venture far afield, then Tryon and Landrum should keep you well occupied! Tryon’s historic cinema hosts a first run movie weekly, and shouldn’t be missed. There are great options for beer and wine in both towns, and the nearby Red Horse Inn offers live entertainment regularly during the summer. Antiques about in Landrum, and art galleries are the specialty in Tryon.
