25 Reviews of Property 264174 in Banner Elk, North Carolina

Tranquility is right. This place is beautiful inside and out and has a wonderful view of Sugar Mountain off in the distance. It snowed on us during the majority of our stay so having a warm fireplace and Jacuzzi was perfect for us. The inside of the home is beautifully decorated and has everything one would need to eat in or cook out. The master bedroom has a wonderful king size mattress and my wife and I slept like babies. The bathrooms are modern and accented with wood and granite counters. The outside was covered with snow but we could tell the outdoor fire pit with rotisserie cooker would be perfect for outdoor cooking in the warmer months. My wife and I enjoyed this place so much that we will definitely come back. If you like tapas type restaurants, try Zuzda’s in Banner Elk.

My husband and I came up to escape the summer heat after hearing my parents talk about Banner Elk every summer. This cottage exceeded all of our expectations- every window with a view and 3 choices of where to sit outside. The view from the living room is magnificent! We talk about returning all the time and keep our weather app on Banner Elk so we can check in!! We enjoyed the college, exploring, the restaurants and the weekly town entertainment. Mostly we just loved sitting outside in the evenings when the horses came up to eat...Dreaming of coming back...

Everything was as advertised plus much more. Deer grazing in the front and back yards. Impeccable craftsmanship especially bathrooms. I was actually hesitant to review because I would like to keep it under the radar. Property manager helpful at all times before and after visit. Certainly didn't need anything during visit because so well taken care of and instructions were provided.

This was our first time to North Carolina and staying in Banner Elk, specially in Tranquility made it lots of fun and much more.

We arrived an hour early and spent the time looking around the house before the doors opened. We were very happy with our decision to rent Tranquility because of the breadth taking views it had to offer, when we got into the house we were pleasantly surprised, the upkeep of the house matched the views outside and even more. The house is very nicely done and very well equipped with careful thought given to what one might need to make them feel home away from home. Things like floor warmer, bathroom heater are a few little things that made our stay even more comfortable. We enjoyed staying there with my Husband and 14 months old son, it was my Birthday and Tranquility made it even more special. Kitchen is very well equipped and we missed absolutely nothing when we cooked a few times while we were there. Bed was big and comfortable enough to fit in our son along with us!

The location is very convenient with good restaurants and grocery store a few minutes drive away. Out of the eating places we went to, we loved Banner Elk Cafe and Frog and The Monkey most. Zucchini Bread at Banner Elk Cafe was yummy! Visit to Grandfather Mountain Park is a must, which is about 20 minutes drive from the place.

We are surely coming back - I believe this place can be the home to a wonderful vacation no matter what time of year it is. And I do agree to one the comments above, the pictures on the website do not do a justice to the beautiful and comfortable this place is.

This is our second year in a row staying at Tranquility and it was as comfortable, convenient and relaxing as last time. We will be back.

My husband and I spent a long weekend at Tranquility Cottage and it was just perfect. The cottage was spotless, very inviting and peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit and just sitting around playing checkers, backgammon and Monopoly. And the view, oh it was just beautiful. And we can't forget the meditation frog, made me smile with a sense of peace sweeping over me everytime I looked at it. Everything was as described and even better. I also want to add that the resource book for the cottage was very helpful, all the information you need is there. I highly recommend renting this cottage, you will not be disappointed. We are hoping to move to the mountains one day and my dream is to have a place like this to call home.

Our stay was great. The house is located in a perfect location with fabulous views. Thank you to the owner for preserving/protecting this property, while so much development is underway in the region. The furnishings were simple and tasteful, and the size was perfect for the two of us. So often rental houses are filled with the owner's extras and hand-me downs, but everything in this house was there with renters in mind - from the furniture to kitchen supplies to quality books and games to the first-aid kit and flashlights. Terrific job! And to confirm the other reviews, the house was spotless! Such a comfortable space. For those not familiar with Banner Elk, the location is also perfect for jaunts into Boone and Blowing Rock, and it's a stone's throw from each of the major mountains in the area.

We absolutely adored the Tranquility Cottage during our stay there last week! The place was more beautiful than described and the amenities were plenteous! We didn't take the walking trails since we had our 2 month old with us, but we loved walking around the downtown area of Banner Elk and getting to know some of the locals. This place is HIGHLY recommended, and one we will likely come back to, as it fulfilled our vacation needs, which were to rest and relax. Don't hesitate for a minute to book this cottage!!! Marjy was wonderful to talk to, and we even got the privilege of meeting both her and the property owner as we were leaving town! Thanks again for everything!!!!
