It was just what we were looking for..cute, clean, and close to High Point University where our daughter plays lacrosse. The owners were always very responsive if I had any questions. We would definitely stay there again
A beautiful tree lined lane leads to a beautifully updated home with lots of charm and space.
Will definitely be booking again. Perfect stay…thank you!
They definitely took time to pay attention to the small details. It was very clean and well organized. Surrounded by trees we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay here again!

We're genuinely thankful that you chose to stay with us and so glad to know that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Tranquility Cottage was a cute bungalow situated in a private off the road location. We had 3 adults and 1 infant on this 2 day trip. The house was clean and provided everything we needed. For our short stay this worked out great.
The cottage was a ways back from the road so it was nice and quiet. Communication with owner was great! Melanie responded very quickly to my questions. All in all I enjoyed my stay there.
This property is so convenient to Pennybyrn for anyone visiting family there! Could walk or drive and go back and forth during day, which was helpful with teenagers. House was perfect for the 4 of us and teens had own space upstairs. Hosts left water, snacks and coffee pods and the house was nicely decorated. We’ll be back!
We loved the place and were looking forward to our stay, but our trip was cut short unexpectedly. The owner was very helpful and communications were excellent. I wish we could have stayed longer!
Thanks you Tod and Melanie!
All good. Bed downstairs was comfortable beds upstairs, i was told, not so much. They are young, it's fine. Made a simple dinner and had everything we needed. Shower was great. Place clean. Thank you for having us!
This property was an accurate depiction of the online photos. The location to High Point and HPU was great! The place was old, needed a few repairs but was very clean. The property was very private and quiet. My only complaint (but a big one) was how damp the home was. It smelled heavily of mildew and was so damp that our clothes hanging in the closet and in our suitcases stayed damp. The air worked great and kept it cool, it was just always very humid. The home could use a dehumidifier at the very least and to solve the problem the basement really needs to be addressed as that’s where we decided the moisture was probably coming from.
The owners were pleasant.
