  We rented this very nice cabin for a Fall colour viewing weekend with my family. This is the best way to family vacation for privacy and saving money. We would have required two hotel rooms and forced to eat out. This cabin is private, well maintained, spacious, well equipped and just a great bargain too. The owner is extremely nice and accommodating and did everything he could to make sure everything was good. The Bryson area is also nice, as it is not so commercial like Cherokee. We did a lot of hiking on the Blue Ridge and local trails, but we would have been just as content to have bivouacked all weekend enjoying the cabin as well. Home away from home, but at several thousand feet (we're from Florida).

  Owner response: I am very pleased that another family has enjoyed my home. My goal is 100 % satisfaction & I constantly work toward that goal. My cabin name is "TRANQUILITY" and it certainly lives up to the name.

  This is just the most awesome place to stay, me, my husband, 2 6-yr old grandsons, Son & his wife and twins of 6 months stayed 11/22-11/27/11, and we just fell in love with the "Tranquility". Very nice, very clean, just had everything we needed. Very spacious, the weather was beautiful, wish it had of been a little cooler, loved the fireplace, and the porches also. Very, very secluded, and we just loved everything about it, Drive was so close to the train depo, we all loved the "Polar Express"and we loved the shops in Bryson City. Everything was just great, can't wait to go back again, no one wanted to leave. Not sure how you would get up there in the snow, but it was everything I expected. Thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us. Angie & George Thomas, Snow Hill, NC

  Owner response: Enjoyed having these folks in my home. I love opening my home to families. I consider these people not only guests but friends and am very fortunate to have them share Tranquility. Richard Pulliam

  This cabin was very nice! It was clean and the layout was great. The location was great as well. It was just outside of town and the views were amazing. When going through town we saw the children (in their PJ's) boarding the train for the "Polar Express" train ride. We didn't have time for a train ride on this trip, but we plan on one when we come back. There are also several shops in town we want to visit next time as well. We went to Harrah's Casino. It was very easy to get to from the cabin. Richard was very friendly and helpful with directions. We plan to come back in the spring for a longer stay. Hopefully we will have time to grill out, relax and enjoy the views!

  Owner response: I don't know how I am so fortunate to rent to such nice people, but I certainly feel that way. I consider each person that rents my home , not only a renter but a friend. Thanks for your visit and your kind words.

  For the first few nights we used this rental as a family reunion spot for our daughter, her husband and two grandchildren. There was plenty of room for all of us! After the family left, a friend from Charleston, SC came and joined me. It was the perfect spot for catching up and short day trips to shop and antique. We ate dinner at The Freymont Inn and it was so wonderful. We would certainly stay here again if we choose to come back to Bryson City.

  Owner response: Again, I must express my appreciation for this fine review. I am very pleased when people can find rest and relaxation in my home. When this home was first built in 2005, before it was ever rented we named it "tranquility" and we have tried to make it live up to that name. Thanks again

  This was without a doubt the best weekend experience ever! The cabin is private, yet close to major attractions. Everything was so clean! We had 6 adults and never felt cramped or crowded. The rooms are very nice. The yard was big enough to play games like ladder golf, frisbee, etc. It was so nice and peaceful. We cannot thank Richard, the owner, enough for allowing us the privilege to rent it. He was so friendly and helpful. It was so nice to sit on the back porch and marvel at God’s creation! We loved it!

  Owner response: I appreciate the many kind remarks that people make about my home and me, personally. People say you must do this for repeat business and I tell them I do this because I like people and one of my greatest rewards is to hear that they have had a great vacation in my home. I talk to everyone personally and like to feel that I have made a new friend when they leave my home.

  Our stay in this cabin was so wonderful, that I would rather keep it a secret than share it with others! My husband has told everyone he talks to that they need to stay in it when they visit the mountains. I told him he needs to quit telling everyone about our perfect secret spot less it become unavailable to us when we need it! Mr. Richard was extremely kind, helpful and caring about every detail, down to the wonderful salsa he left for us. The house and grounds were very neat and clean, spacious and relaxing! And the fireplace was fantastic! Our children definitely did not want to leave!! Bryson City was a great town! It was not so commercialized as Cherokee, yet big enough to have plenty to do. It was important to us to be close to Maggie Valley, Cherokee and Clingman's Dome, so the location was perfect. We are already planning our next stay!

  Owner response: Again, I am very pleased that this family had a great vacation in my home. I try to gear my home to a family atmosphere and rest & relaxation. I consider myself very fortunate in having such fine people staying in my home. I hope they carry away memories that will last a lifetime.

  My family had the best time while visiting Bryson City. Tranquility is so much better than getting a hotel room. The cabin had everything we needed. It was our home for an entire week. It was very neat and clean and had all amenities. We loved sitting on the front porch and watching the sunset in the beautiful mountain view. We also enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the mornings and watching all the birds! We were close to Cherokee and Smoky Mountain National Park. We were even close enough to be able to visit Gatlinburg Tenn. The men in the family had a blast white water rafting on the Nantahala River which is only a few miles away. The owner is wonderful and very helpful. He even leaves the best salsa for his guests to enjoy which made us feel very welcome... and full! It was the most relaxing vacation we ever took and we are already planning another trip for next year! We can't wait to return. This is our new home away from home! We highly recommend the cabin to anyone.

  Owner response: I am very pleased these fine people enjoyed my home. I have personally talked with every renter & must say that I am very fortunate in having the nicest people in my home. Although I haven't met them personally, I like to think of each of them as a friend.

  My friends and I had a very relaxing weekend in this home. We found it convenient to local attractions and really enjoyed the time we spent together in the home. It is spacious, nicely decorated and very peaceful. Can't wait to return.

  Owner response: The one theme I conatantly hear in these reviews is the peacefulness of this location. The name "Tranquility" ws given to this home after much thought. Many people tell me I had a great time in the porch swing reading and relaxing.

  Coming from SWFL and having the opportunity to stay at this cabin was an excellent experience. Everything the owner said about all your sites were very close was true. Our farthest adventure was chimney rock, NC which was a great experience. We were able to eat breakfast and dinner at the cabin and stay out all day. The kids had a great time and enjoyed their first experience in the Great Smokey Mountains. We hope to make this place the place the see their first snow.

  Owner response: I am very pleased this wonderful family has enjoyed a week at my home. I try very hard to make this experience a time for memories that will last a lifetime. As stated in the review my home is centrally located and is a good base for visiting other nearby places.
