Communication with Linda, was spot on. We weren’t arriving until after midnight and they left lights on for us. The cleanliness was immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked and met our needs. The beds were comfortable. Anyone renting, “Tranquility “, will not be disappointed. Needless to say, I would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful location, comfortable house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tranquility. The house is clean and well stocked for a weekend getaway. The kids had fun in the river and playing ping pong in the basement. The kitchen had everything we needed except a strainer (which wasn’t that big of a deal!) and the grill was clean. The location was perfect for us as we had friends camping at the horse campground next door. We enjoyed the new river trail. All in all a good spot!

We loved this spot. The view was amazing and close to antique shops and the Hillsville Labor Day weekend flea market. The cabin was clean, spacious, well mantained, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the back porch which overlooked the New River.

Nice place, great owners, superb location

We loved the house. It's a really nice property, long yard going back to the New River. The New River Trail access is just a few hundred yards up the gravel road. The owners were very friendly, answering my questions and being very helpful. Thanks, we'd love to stay again.

Fabulous, Perfect Location

This cabin met all the requirements we needed for a weekend of cycling the trail. Central location on the trail, allowed us to go north and south without having to have a car shuttle. the lawn was beautifully mown and the river was running high, made for a serene setting on the porch where we enjoyed 3 of our 5 meals.

Great Location for New River Trail Ride

Nice, peaceful setting on New River. Front of cabin faces New River Trail and back overlooks New River. Good location for cycling New River Trail. One direction leads to Draper (must eat at Mercantile) and the other to Fries and Galax. Plenty of cycling, walking, horseback or fishing options. Hope to return in future.
