The first step across the threshold always takes guests by surprise. Eleven foot ceilings give a wonderful sense of space. It is tastefully decorated with antique furniture.   Some of the paintings are by a nationally recognized local equestrian artist, Joan E. MacIntyre. Her paintings are available for purchase directly from her. 

 

"Home away from home" could well describe this luxurious lodging facility.

Amenities include a full kitchen, overlooking the pastures, with stainless steel appliances, tile floors and oriental rugs intentionally designed for the canine member of your family.  A whirlpool tub is perfect for massaging those achy muscles at the end of the day.

The antique bedroom furniture has been passed down to us by my Grandmother.  The antique cabinet sink, that we had installed in the bathroom, is from England. But most of the antiques in the Guest House were local finds.

On your first step outside the door of the Guest House you are greeted by a view of the main residence across one of the horse pastures. The atmosphere is so serene you feel as though you have left the pressures of the modern world behind, but you are only minutes from downtown Landrum and Tryon. This area is in the middle of the North and South Carolina's horse country.

You will see many different breeds of horses. A Percheron Draft horse, an Oldenburg, an Arab, a Morgan Horse in one pasture.

In another there are Paints, one of which was born on our farm, a Medicine Hat Paint, Quarter Horses and a thirty year old Racking Horse.
