Rediscover Dunwyck Hall

A Private English Country House Experience Near Tryon International

Some of the most fascinating people of the last century have already discovered Dunwyck Hall. Now it’s your turn.

F. Scott Fitzgerald · Lady Nancy Astor · David Niven · George Gershwin · Grace Coolidge

Writers, statesmen, musicians, Hollywood personalities and members of international society have all been part of the story of this extraordinary English country house in the foothills of North Carolina. Built in 1926, Dunwyck Hall was created for something increasingly rare today: the art of gracious entertaining. A century later, that’s precisely what it still offers.

A House Made for Gathering

Imagine arriving at a private English country estate just ten minutes from the competition rings at Tryon International. You step into a soaring Great Hall, beneath Tudor beams and a magnificent minstrels’ gallery. A firelit library beckons, and beyond it an intimate snug invites conversation over a glass of wine.

There’s a formal dining room for memorable dinners, a wine cellar for lingering evenings, and gracious reception rooms that encourage guests to settle in and stay awhile.

This isn’t a hotel lobby. It’s your own private country house, for the duration of your stay.

Entertain as They Once Did

For nearly a century, Dunwyck Hall has welcomed remarkable people through its doors. Today, you can continue that tradition.

Invite fellow equestrians for cocktails after a day at the show. Gather your family around the dining table, host a quiet evening with friends, or welcome business associates into surroundings that make even an informal conversation feel like an occasion. There’s no need to retreat to separate hotel rooms or gather around a restaurant table. Unlike a conventional vacation rental, Dunwyck Hall offers the atmosphere, architecture and history of a genuine historic estate, and the freedom to entertain in complete privacy.

The Privilege of Staying Somewhere Extraordinary

Dunwyck Hall welcomes one private guest party at a time. Three beautifully appointed king bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, accommodate up to six overnight guests. Your stay includes exclusive use of the Great Hall, minstrels’ gallery, library, snug, dining room, wine cellar and other designated reception rooms. The resident owners occupy a separate wing, so guests enjoy their own private entrance and the run of the house.

Whether you’re attending the National Horse Show, spending a week at Tryon International, or gathering family and friends for a special occasion, Dunwyck Hall offers something increasingly difficult to find: a place with a past worth remembering, and the chance to become part of its future.

The Guest List Is Still Open

Fitzgerald came. Gershwin came. Lady Astor came.
Perhaps it’s time you did, too.
