This was our 2nd visit and found it as enjoyable as it was 4 years ago. The place has been well maintained and offers peace and tranquility. My husband wants to purchase the home and retire there now!!
1 mile gravel road driving up a mountain at 10 - 15 mph to nice, clean, well furnished mountain home. Plan shopping ahead of time or drive 15 minutes to Walmart or longer to neighboring towns. Other local grocery stores closed, damaged from Helen. Dress for being on a mountain, it gets cold quickly. Drive to hiking trails, no hiking trail directly from rental. Start at the Spruce Pine Museum of North Carolina Minerals with 300 area mineral varieties on display. Museum also has a tourist information center informing you of a variety of attractions and nearby open trails/roads. People are very friendly and resilient, still recovering from Helen. Pick apples at 100 year old orchard and learn about Revolutionary War fighters on their way to the Battle of Kings Mountain. Visit Little Switzerland. Take your time driving 35 mph and enjoy 12 miles stretch with 200 curves and tunnels. Lots of butterflies and good restaurants. Rental requires large damage deposit or rental insurance. Be prepared for an amazing adventure.
We had a great time at "Tranquility". Wonderful view, comfy king beds, super clean throughout, well-equipped kitchen. Every need was provided! Host was very responsive and helpful. And the area is wonderful for hikes, activities, etc.
We enjoyed the cabin, it was very clean and updated! We were short drive to Boone and Blowing Rock, which we visited while staying here. The front porch has a nice view of the mountains. Would definitely book again!
The cabin is everything it says it is and then some. It is well equipped and maintained with care. I booked it specifically because of the views from the front porch. The sunrise and sunset were beyond magnificent. Sipping coffee early in the morning with the Blue Ridge mountains sprawling in the background was exactly what we needed. The host is very responsive. I had all my questions answered within an hour or so. We will most likely book this cabin again.
Stayed in this beautiful home as Iâm working nearby at the hospital. Everything is clean and the place is fully stocked. Canât say enough about the owner Bill. He follows up to make sure everything is great and when the power went out he cane up to cut down trees and make sure it was taken care of promptly! And the view is amazing:)
Our stay was wonderful. Mr. Bill had great communication through out our time. We enjoyed the secluded location of the cabin & the views of the mountain tops were truly amazing! Highly recommend staying here.
Beautiful Mountain View. If you are looking to relax in a peaceful environment, this place is perfect. The place is very clean, has modern appliances, many small appliances, and everything you need for cooking your own meals. The deck has a beautiful Mountain View. The host communicated kindly and in a timely manner. Arrival information was clear and sent in advance. I will definitely return!
My son is a lineman working in WNC. His wife and tow young boys wanted to visit since they had not seen each other in weeks. Bill was wonderful. He was very quick to respond and very kind to my family. His home was beautiful.
You'll absolutely be happy with this great cottage. So much thought went into the entire place. Great quality all around from the owner's communication to the appliances, bedrooms, bathrooms, cleanliness, cable/internet, kitchen appliances, etc. They'll have everything you need. Bill is the best - and quickest - communicator I've experienced when renting a home. I look forward to returning to the property.
The home was perfect for a relaxing time in the mountains. The view from the front porch was great. The mornings out there were so nice and quiet- just me, my coffee, the birds, and the view. The two master suites on the main level were perfect for us and our older dog (yes the cabin was pet friendly too)! The cabin was close to town (by mountain cabin standards) and had easy access to local amenities- wineries, hiking, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Will definitely stay here again!
Very quiet and peaceful location. Beautiful view from the front porch. Might see deer or other wildlife on your walks. Great place to get away and relax.
The house was in perfect condition but we spent most of our time (when not out hiking) on the porch, enjoying the view and the mountain breezes! A peaceful and relaxing getaway.
