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.

Beautiful location, comfortable house!

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!

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.
