Communication with Linda, was spot on. We weren’t arriving until after midnight and they left lights on for us. The cleanliness was immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked and met our needs. The beds were comfortable. Anyone renting, “Tranquility “, will not be disappointed. Needless to say, I would definitely stay there again.
We took our one year old and two year old on a weekend trip to the river and they absolutely loved it! The river access was great, we went swimming every day and fished in the river. They yard was huge! We enjoyed our short weekend on the river!
Just loved staying here. Nice home with beautiful river views. Nice big yard. Great deck. The area is peaceful and quiet. We will rent this home again. Thanks to the hosts!
We really enjoyed our stay at Tranquility. The house is clean and well stocked for a weekend getaway. The kids had fun in the river and playing ping pong in the basement. The kitchen had everything we needed except a strainer (which wasn’t that big of a deal!) and the grill was clean. The location was perfect for us as we had friends camping at the horse campground next door. We enjoyed the new river trail. All in all a good spot!

This is a house, not a cabin. Host very unhelpful
This unit is a house not a cabin. The host was very unhelpful when it came to us having issues.
The house is clean, spacious, and well kept. The property is quiet and offers a beautiful view. Lastly, there is a nice trail located near the property for hiking, biking, or running.
We loved this spot. The view was amazing and close to antique shops and the Hillsville Labor Day weekend flea market.
The cabin was clean, spacious, well mantained, and very comfortable.
We especially enjoyed the back porch which overlooked the New River.
Sitting, listening to the sounds of the river, allowed for a peaceful weekend to unwind and reset before heading back to the real world. Property was very clean and communication was excellent with the property owner.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The location is ideal for anyone looking to explore the beautiful New River Trail. The home is spacious and cozy with a lovely view of the river .The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Great getaway !
We loved the house. It's a really nice property, long yard going back to the New River. The New River Trail access is just a few hundred yards up the gravel road. The owners were very friendly, answering my questions and being very helpful. Thanks, we'd love to stay again.

Fabulous, Perfect Location
This cabin met all the requirements we needed for a weekend of cycling the trail. Central location on the trail, allowed us to go north and south without having to have a car shuttle.
the lawn was beautifully mown and the river was running high, made for a serene setting on the porch where we enjoyed 3 of our 5 meals.
Overall, my old buddy and I had a terrific visit and were very satisfied with the location, the house, beds, setup and nearly every aspect. The hosts made checking in and out extremely easy, and they were easy to communicate with. They suffered flooding and damages from Helene less than 10 months ago. They have obviously worked hard and replaced HVAC and much more. The views and sounds are terrific. They offer good internet, nice tv's, comfy beds and all the things to make your visit simplified. I would only suggest that they need to replace some burned out floodlight and perhaps paint a yellow line across the edge of an easily overlooked step down on concrete. (A 70 yr old Buzzard like me has to watch where I step or falls could ruin a trip.) I would say have no worries about staying here. It's relatively convenient to Galax, Fries, Wytheville, even Blacksburg is not a difficult day trip.
Nice, peaceful setting on New River. Front of cabin faces New River Trail and back overlooks New River. Good location for cycling New River Trail. One direction leads to Draper (must eat at Mercantile) and the other to Fries and Galax. Plenty of cycling, walking, horseback or fishing options.
Hope to return in future.
Charming, spacious and peaceful. It was the perfect vacation for us. Loved spending every morning doing devotions on the deck overlooking the New River with a hot cup of coffee. Good restaurants, shopping and attractions close by, yet we were out in the country. During our stay, other vacationers began arriving with their horses for New River Trail riding and we got to "visit" with some of the horses. It was just wonderful. We didn't want to come home. Hoping to stay again soon!
