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.

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

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.

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.

Relaxing home away from home

We really enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed reading by the fire, smores at the fire pit, and unwinding in the hot tub after skiing.

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.

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 Winter Retreat

The living room has huge southern facing windows which not only create great views but provide passive solar heat when it is cold. We were always cozy without having to turn the heat up. Our winter vacation is mainly reading good books, but during the week we stay is when the college football conferences have their playoffs. Huge screen TV above the fireplace is perfect.

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

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!
