Perfect Family Getaway
We have a large family and this place was perfect. Everyone had their own room/bathroom and the common areas were great for group gatherings. We enjoyed hiking, golfing, tubing down the river, & playing pool, poker on one rainy day. We would come back again and highly recommend!

A Family Christmas Stay
This property is amazing. Spacious is an understatement. There were 12 of us and we were all very comfortable. The two living areas are spacious and comfortable with plenty of activities such as a pool table. The house was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. May be the cleanest and most comfortable property I have stayed at.

We Love This Place
We've been here 2 summers now and will continue to come back, we have a large family all over the Southeast and need a large house to sleep all of us. Our favorite parts - every bedroom has a bathroom, the common areas, the front yard & the views from the back porch and living room! We also love the community added a pool, snack bar and bowling alley!

Great family gathering!
We've stayed at a lot of properties over the years as a family, but this one was the best! Beautiful home, gorgeous surroundings, comfortable and plush furnishings, plenty of room to gather or sneak off to enjoy some solitude. We hiked to a nearby waterfall, cooked family meals, gathered at the firepit to view the stars and roast s'mores, and went ice skating at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. We didn't want to leave!

Family Retreat
This property is absolutely amazing! We chose this property as a meeting point for our family Thanksgiving! We are a family of 14 and everyone was comfortable with plenty of room to spare! We had movie night, fire pit night, game room night. And of course prepared our thanksgiving meal! The home is so accommodating that you don’t want to leave! We did visit Asheville and the Biltmore which was a quick drive. We also went hiking, played golf and visited nearby towns. I highly recommend this property for large families!

Family Gathering
The home worked out great for our family gathering of 13 people. Plenty of room for privacy and the recreation area on the ground floor was enjoyed by everyone especially with some rainy days during the stay. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc and with 2 refrigerators accommodated storage for less trips to the grocery store. The host was very responsive with communication and information on activities in the surrounding area. I would highly recommend this facility for future events.

Amazing for a retreat
We had a wonderful time at this VRBO property. It was the perfect place for our remote company to meet in person for the first time. The property is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Each room has its own bathroom, which was very convenient for our group of eight. The common areas are cozy and inviting, with plenty of seating and entertainment options. The views are stunning, and the screened in area and the fire pit are great for groups. We enjoyed playing corn hole and relaxing by the fire. The property really elevated our experience and made us feel at home. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway..

This house is gorgeous! Views are amazing! Very clean. Neighborhood is gorgeous, beautifully landscaped and secluded. House had everything we needed! Great towels and linens, very comfortable beds, fire pit area, and each bedroom has a private bathroom! Can’t say enough about this place. Plenty of cooking/serving pieces and basics needed to cook meals. Everything was well thought out! Amenities in the neighborhood are beautiful as well. We all agreed we’d be back!

Christmas Memories at The Retreat
Our extended family had a magical Christmas 2022 at The Retreat in Mill Spring, NC. The house was nestled in a gated community in the beautiful mountains of Western NC. The grandeur of The Retreat was evident the minute we pulled into the driveway. The house boasted 8600 sq ft of beautiful, well appointed accommodations. The wood craftsmanship throughout the home was spectacular. The floor to ceiling windows provided breathtaking views of the mountains and golf course. The layout of the home was perfect for our group (aged two to eighty seven years). Each of the eight bedrooms featured their own bathroom en-suite bathrooms which were so convenient and private. All of the beds were super comfortable too. The open concept kitchen lacked nothing! It was supplied with every appliance, utensil, pot, pan, dish, etc. one might need to fix a meal. The media room with the pool table, chess /card tables, 70 inch TV and wet bar was a big hit with our younger crowd. Our elderly parents enjoyed relaxing by the beautiful stone, gas fireplaces. Even with the frigid temperatures during our stay, our grandkids were able to sit by the fire pit and fix a favorite dessert - s’mores. Check in and out at The Retreat was very easy. The owner, Ed, was great to work with. Our family had a wonderful Christmas ! We would absolutely rent this amazing home again! Wayne and Jennifer

All family members had their own space and yet we could come together in various spaces for a variety of entertainments. The local area provided many outdoor opportunities and it was centrally located for sightseeing other tourist towns. The kitchen provided the appliances, equipment and utensils needed to cook a host of fine meals.

Cozy and elegant
I have stayed in many vacation rentals and never have I been in a place that included so many amenities. The kitchen was WELL appointed. There were many, many glasses, cups, bowls,plates, platters, knives, spatulas, even an electric ice cream maker. A wooden box containing a selection of teas was available. There were pods for the dishwasher and washing machines. There was a large box of instant hot chocolat. We never had time to use. There was a good supply of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. The towels were good quality and there was an ample supply. We went to play bridge but a fancy case of poker ships was available. With the fire pit came a nice supply of wood and kindling. There was even fire starter which we did not need. We had a wonderful time.

Fabulous Mountain Home
The Retreat at Bright’s Creek was all that we could have hoped. The house was lovely, the accommodations were comfortable and spacious, and the location was very private with a beautiful vista of the mountains to the west. Furthermore, Ed was terrific and very responsive to our questions and needs prior to our visit as well as during our stay. Additionally, we hired a caterer from Tryon to prepare some of our meals for the week who was top-rate. I hope that we will be able to visit the Retreat again.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. We were a group of 5 families. We spent the mornings enjoying the mountain view from the deck and the evenings around the fire pit. The bedding and towels were luxurious. All the bathrooms were well appointed. The kitchens were stocked with all necessary items. The basement was a fun spot for the teenagers and had everything they could want. The wifi signal was strong throughout the home. Loved every bit of our stay
