Private mountain home with amazing views, firepit & hot tub - near ski slopes

Tranquility House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tranquility is yours at this gorgeous, private mountain home located midway between the ski slopes of Sugar and Beech Mountains. Nestled into a 43-acre farm, you'll love the pastoral charm and incredible mountain views, with picturesque barns and a pond in the foreground. Enjoy it each day on 20 acres of walking trails, including five acres of rhododendron thicket. The wooded hills above take you to the top of the northern edge of Beech Mountain. In the winter, you'll be ideally located for sledding, tubing, and skiing at Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain; come summer, you'll enjoy world-class hiking and mountain biking, great breweries and wineries, as well as nearby festivals and concerts

Inside, you'll find incredible mountain views from every room, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light as it pours in the large picture windows. Snuggle up together in front of the gas fireplace in the living room while you stream the latest release and whip up your favorite meals in the full, well-equipped kitchen. Challenge your friends and family to a game of chess; read a book from the small library provided; and keep dinner simple with the gas grill and an alfresco meal on the deck. End the evening with a relaxing soak in the hot tub and a toast around the firepit to booking the perfect Banner Elk getaway.

Sweet little house

We took a quick trip for less than 48 hours to Grandfather mountain for a parent weekend getaway. Tranquility was the perfect home away from home. It was very clean, photos were accurate of the property. We enjoyed the hot tub and seeing different wildlife right in the backyard. Would recommend.

Wonderful Weekend!

My wife and I stayed for a weekend and had a great time. The house is perfect for a couple or small family. We were able to enjoy a quiet night in the hot tub but we were also very close to Banner Elk for entertainment and multiple ski slopes. We would love to return!

Magnificent

The property is beautiful and the views are incredible! Everything you need is in the house already as well as user friendly instructions for equipment. We have stayed in other houses 2x before and Tranquility house tops them both! Plus I Greatly Appreciate the fact that we didn't have to clean anything upon departure!!! Thank you very much! We would love to come again

Weekend at Oz

Love the space and the views! The home was very clean but the outdoor furniture could have been hosed off prior to our visit (many spiderwebs). The sunrise and sunset from the living room windows and the fire pit were out of this world, and we saw plenty of deer and happy birds every morning. We stayed during Autumn at Oz and this home was fairly close to Beech Mountain. I would most definitely stay here again - wonderful mountain getaway!

Beautiful and peaceful

Love the house and location. A little concerned at first about lack of A/C in early July, but the mountain breezes through open screened windows with fans running were perfect, even in 80 degree weather. Always love a hot tub and it was nice that it is on a sheltered side of the house and porch. Saw quit a few deer, even a fawn in the undergrowth behind the porch. Proximity to town is really nice while the road was pretty quiet.

Very nice small family getaway

It was a very beautiful house with a beautiful view. We had a blast and stayed nice and warm by the fire. Never went into the loft area but it looked really nice. Definitely planning to stay again.

Awesome cottage!

My husband and I were here to celebrate our anniversary. The cottage was perfect! Clean, well stocked, convenient to tons of things to do, but private and quiet for evenings in. The hot tub was great, bed comfy, kitchen very well stocked, property just beautiful.....can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful cabin and view

We had a wonderful relaxing time. The cabin was impeccable and had everything we needed. It was quiet and secluded. The hot tub was in perfect shape. The view of the mountains was beautiful. We will definitely return.

Great Getaway

We enjoyed the cottage--indoors and outdoors! The outdoor areas are great and the view is incredible. The cottage is well stocked and neat. Banner Elk and the surrounding areas are worth a visit, but the best part of the trip was Tranquility Cottage. Mark

Great for a couples get away!

Super clean and super comfortable! The temp seemed to regulate itself and was perfect the whole time. It was even nicer than pictures shown. Got visits from dear in the back yard and hot tub was great! I think the shower was one of the greatest I ever seen and we had a blast

“Tranquility” The perfect name.

We’ve been going here at least once a year for quite a while now, and a absolutely no plans for changing. Very private and quiet, seems so far away, yet things do do all around. Can’t wait to get back!

Beautiful Cottage

We had a great time staying at the Tranquility Cottage. It was a peaceful, natural setting. The cottage is nicely appointed and very comfortable. We loved sitting in the hot tub in the cool evenings and watching the fire flies. The cottage was a perfect fit for our family of 4 and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

Spectacular views

The views from this house are absolutely beautiful !! we were there for the full season and it was so beautiful. we enjoyed the fire pit in the front of the house as well as the hot tub. The house is so close to downtown Banner Elk only five minutes. Two minutes to the Banner elk winery which we enjoyed and went numerous times. Food Lion supermarket is a short, eight minutes beautiful drive. The location is perfect. We will definitely go back to this house and would recommend it. 👍👍

Always the best

We have been staying at the Potato House for our winter and spring trips to Banner Elk for maybe 12 years. Last year we took a chance and stayed at Tranquility for the winter trip. WE mainly read on our trips and Tranquility offers the best view if you have to stay inside due to cold weather. Potato house has the best warm weather view from the deck. It was everything we could ask for.
