Tranquility House

It doesn’t get much better than this site. Beautiful views, great amenities, and an owner who was always available for questions. My friend and I stayed for four wonderful nights in this wonderful home in comfortable spacious rooms with each of us having our own full bath. We made use of the wonderful kitchen and outdoor grill, that was fully outfitted with every utensil you could need. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone who needs a break from their normal life to decompress. I’m already planning my return trip!

Nice layout with good kitchen and baths. Living room had only a sofa for sitting. Yard needed mowing (was mowed last day of our stay). Porch needed sweeping. Internet was spotty. Bring your own soap and shampoo. Nice view of mountains.

Very nice, but also extremely remote.

We weren’t prepared for how remote and off the beaten path this property was. The property itself is quite nice (though it didn’t seem the wi-fi was working), and the photos are accurate. However, we eventually made the decision that the location and lack of restaurant options were not our cup of tea, so we moved to a hotel in Asheville for the duration of our stay. If you’re a hiker and know where to go, this place may be perfect for you.

Blue Ridge Bliss

We enjoyed our stay in this wonderful house. Awesome location just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Quiet and restful in the mountain tops. The house was clean, the kitchen well equipped, and beds super comfy. Bill responds quickly to any inquiry. I think we just found a great get-a-way place in western NC. Thanks Bill for being a wonderful host and for sharing your house.

Beautiful cabin!

This cabin was perfect! Well-stocked with all necessities. Beds were super comfy. It was cold outside, and the cabin was well-insulated. The view is spectacular!! Bill was great with communication. A little drive to the small town to try a couple of restaurants. Hef’s restaurant has great burgers and fries and pizza. Fox and the Fig is a coffee shop with the best bagels and biscuits. In a nearby town, we had BBQ at Pigs and Grits and that was delicious. Well worth the 30-minute drive. Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Linville Falls, and the Biltmore are must-sees. A little drive to all of those places. The road up to the cabin is steep and winding, but not bad at all. Easy to navigate. Everywhere you go it’s a nice drive through curvy roads, so just take your time, and you’ll be fine. This cabin was quiet, comfy, and peaceful. If you’re looking to relax with a great view, this is the place for you!

Quaint cabin with beautiful views

We had a nice weekend at Tranquility. The views were great and cabin was nicely stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend stay. Only wish was to have a portable heater or fire pit to enjoy the view sitting on the deck in the mornings or early evenings… it was a little too chilly for us! Would definitely recommend to others.

Perfect cabin with spectacular view

This place was perfect. It's high elevation allows for an incredible view from the front porch. The home was well appointed, especially if you like to cook a meal or two on vacation. A great weekend overall and would definitely return.

Spruce pines Blueridge parkway home

This was an amazing home within a mile of the parkway. The homes location was beautiful with Mountain View’s. We explored the area visiting Mt Mitchell, Little Switzerland and drove highway 197 from Pensacola to Barnardsville. The home was newly renovated and did not disappoint. We would definitely stay again.

Tranquility Plus

The home is perfect for 2 couples with living area I. The middle. Very tastefully decorated with super comfy beds and linens!!😌😌. Beautiful sunrises albeit a bit cool when we were there still very pretty. The kitchen has about everything one can think of the only thing I couldn’t find was a muffin/cupcake pan but plenty of others. Perhaps maybe a waffle iron also although we never made any do didn’t look as I always bring my own. The covered front porch is great for sitting and the table furniture was very comfy. All top notch everything here you won’t be disappointed.

Family Mountain Reunion

We had a fun time in the cabin. The view is breathtaking. Try not to miss the “earth to sky” park where you will see billions of stars and the Milky Way. We loved trips on the Blue Ridge Parkway and a stop at Little Switzerland. The cabin is very cozy with up to date appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. All in all we loved our stay.

Tranquility it is

Bill’s place has the perfect layout for our group of 2 couples. Super clean and tastefully decorated. It’s about one hour drive to Asheville downtown, but only 20 minutes to Little Switzerland and Linville Falls. We spent more time on the patio enjoying the view, using the gas grill to prepare meals than being inside the house. Great communication with the host; all my questions were answered promptly. Wifi is a bit slow but totally working. Feeling completely recharged after 4 days stay.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Small

We are a very active family who love the outdoors and Blue Ridge Mountains especially. We take full advantage of the wonderful mountains that surround us and use this home a lot. But, with kids, we juggle a lot of priorities and can't always use it. So we open our home for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We have rented cabins throughout the NC mountains but always found it hard to find ones that met our standards and were close to exciting outdoor options. When we visited the Spruce Pine/Little Switzerland area, we fell in love. It's also very rare to find a flat lot this high up in the mountains coupled with world-class views like this home has. We've designed this home to meet our exacting standards!

What makes this property unique

Flat lot with a ranch style home makes for very easy and convenient living. The two king en-suite bedrooms are on either end of the house giving great privacy. In between the two bedrooms is the completely open living/dining/kitchen space. In the summer, enjoy fresh blueberries from our 20 mature blueberry bushes.
