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 toast around the fire pit to booking the perfect Banner Elk getaway.

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!
My wife and I loved the house and the beautiful view. The house was clean and inviting and we would love to come back again. I will recommend this place to my friends because we had such a great time.

Our second time staying here. This time we brought the kids with us. Had a great time and we love how close everything is while still staying off to ourselves. Great location, plan on staying again next year!

We're glad your whole family came this year. See you again next year!
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.

We loved the comfort and Mountain views. The mountain air is so refreshing.
Loved being able to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary trip in this beautiful cabin and scenery. Very peaceful and relaxing. Walking around the pond was enjoyable. Yes even at our age.
Everything was so easy and exactly as described online. We will stay here again.

Perfect for Cozy Couples’ Getaway
Cabin was well appointed, exactly as described and pictured, and our booking experience was smooth from start to finish! We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to possibly returning. Highly recommend this cottage for couples looking for a cozy mountain getaway. Located conveniently between Banner Elk and Valle Crucis, we got to major area attractions, restaurants, and shopping easily while still feeling secluded and enjoying lovely views. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful and memorable!
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!
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

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.
Great location and view. Would have given a 5 but smelled like cat pee. Got better as we opened windows. Overall very nice place

Hmmm. This one's a puzzler. We do not own a cat. This is a no-pets home. Perhaps the strenuous cleaning following CDC guidelines might be the culprit. Our cleaners are very very good at disinfecting.
