Exceeds Expectations!

Our family loved the Farm guest house. We played most of the games, I enjoyed the tourism books and the kitchen was well stocked. There was plenty of really hot water, iron & board, hair dryer, and lots of seating to enjoy the property. The best part was exploring the trails, old cabins, chapel and hammock & horseshoe !!! Hopefully it won’t rain during our next stay so we can have a campfire.

Getting Back to Nature

The Farmhouse was just perfect for the three of us. Upstairs bedroom/bath was private as well as the downstairs bed/bath. We loved the open living and kitchen area - very comfortable with lovely furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved the outdoor eating area and landscaping was beautiful

peaceful sanctuary

a beautiful place where owners Steve and Laura, caretakers of the land, flora and fauna have artfully integrated gardens and sacred spaces within the natural environment. the guest quarters of the farmhouse were comfortable and thoughtfully furnished for myself and two sisters who also enjoyed hearing about the history of The Preserve from Steve. thank you for a lovely stay. we would be happy to return one day...

2nd time here at The Preserve at Maple Creek

This is our second time staying at The Preserve at Maple Creek. The first time we stayed in the Barn Cabin and my oldest daughter was married in the glass chapel 2 years ago. We LOVE this property! It's much more than just a place to stay. We did a little hike through the property on Thanksgiving day and had such a great time!!! My oldest lives in Rutherfordton so any time we plan to visit this is where we hope to stay!

Awesome property

This ranks in the top five places we’ve ever stayed! Very comfortable guest house and the grounds were absolutely awesome!!! Several miles of trails with benches along the way. We highly recommend!!!! There are three cabins on the property that can be rented for a gathering of family and friends. This is also a lovely event space for weddings and larger gatherings. Not far from the Town of Rutherfordton and less than an hour from Tryon Equestrian Center.We will definitely return!

Beautiful, Relaxing Stay

My family and I booked the Farmhouse to be able to check out the property for a wedding we are looking to have there later this year. Not only was the property unique with so much for us to discover, but Laura and Steve have done such a beautiful job with updating the property while at the same time perserving its historical elements. They were so kind and had great communciation with us leading up to and during our stay! We look forward to staying here again in the fall and celebrating our special day here with our family!

Perfect for a Tryon Event!

What a great property! Upon pulling into the property we were immediately greeted by the hosts. They are what all hosts should aspire to be. We were able to fit in a quick walk of the property, which is gorgeous. The photos just can't capture the tranquility and peacefulness. The guesthouse was perfect for me and my young daughter. It gave us enough room to relax after a rough day at the Equestrian Center, but small enough where it still felt charming and cozy. You can definitely tell the home is well cared for. We'd definitely stay again!

Lovely Stay

I was visiting the area for business and needed a place for my mother and I to stay. It was winter time, but still, the property is lovely. It is an old farmhouse that's in great condition, and been restored. We stayed in the Farmhouse Apartment (a private apartment attached to the main Farmhouse). It had a nice kitchen, living room, dining area, two nice comfy bedrooms (one downstairs and one upstairs), two bathrooms, lower level and upper level porch. It was clean, you can walk around the property (I'm sure it's lovely in the Spring, Summer, and Fall to walk the trails), and there's also another sitting area off the lower level patio. A seven to 10 minute drive into Rutherfordton. Quiet, peaceful, all around nice stay.

Unique & Memorable Visit

We visit relatives in Rutherford County frequently & have stayed at 3 different hotels over the yrs, but haven't really enjoyed one yet, so we looked for something different this trip & found this option. Boy, did we hit a home run. It's an historic property with your choice of a stay in the farmhouse guest quarters or two historic cabins on the large property. We chose the guest quarter option & were pleased with the spacious accommodations & well appointed rooms. All of the choices are rustic, in that they are old, but all have been updated to provide you with all the comforts of home. You can enjoy walking the trails on the beautiful property, enjoy some peaceful time in the special glass chapel, or just enjoy some peace and quiet time in the lovely foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. Laura & Steve are the owners & will go above & beyond the call of duty to make you feel comfortable & welcome. They are happy to share some of the history of the property & throughout the homes. If you must have a hotel in Rutherford County, your best bet is the Hampton Inn, but if you're looking for a unique & memorable place to stay, the Preserve at Maple Creek will make you happy.
