Tranquility House

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!
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.
What a beautiful view! Perfect place for a morning coffee by the main window! Great hot tub, comfortable beds and pretty fireplace! Close to downtown Banner Elk as well. We will be back next year!

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.

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.
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!

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.
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. 👍👍
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.

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!
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!
