There are numerous Air B&Bs and VRBO accommodations in Rutherford County. The closest ones will be in the communities marked Rutherfordton, Spindale, and Shiloh. Rutherford County is the largest area-wise of the 100 counties in North Carolina, so going outside those areas for a B&B could be a much longer drive. Since the owners do not give you the exact address until you book, you may want to contact before booking to ask them how far it is from the Rutherfordton town limits.
