Relaxing family retreat

We had the best time at Tranquility Cabin. So clean with all the amenities of a family home. The kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows, finding tadpoles, birdwatching, and playing cornhole. We hope to visit again!

Amazing house in very private setting

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tranquility Cabin! Plenty of space for everyone to relax and all of the amenities of home, plus a few extras. We spent lots of time by the fire pit and enjoying the views from the yard. We'd love to come again!

Wonderful Again !

The cabin was immaculate and had everything we needed. We enjoyed wonderful sits on the porch and by the fire pit. The owners, Steve and Angie, are awesome. Communications before, during, and after the stay. If you want to enjoy an awesome cabin, and the fresh air of the outdoors, book this one. Additionally, grocer’s and other retail stores are nearby if needed. Love this place !!

Tranquility Cabin lived up to its name!

The cabin is wonderfully secluded, quiet, and fully equipped with everything you could want. Hosts Angie and Steve were incredibly helpful in all ways, especially with suggestions of places to hike and see wonderful views -- especially appreciated just before the threatened government shutdown that would have closed GSMNP. The local towns have interesting stores, cafes and ice cream shops. Try Sippers in Maggie Valley for fabulous coffees and hot chocolate. We left relaxed, refreshed and delighted with Angie and Steve's kindness.

Our retreat to God's country in the mountains of North Carolina on July 1-8, 2023.

The property is magnificent. The cabin is equipped with every imaginable home comfort. The landscape, and the woods around the cabin are beautiful. We also enjoyed the wildlife. Steve and Angie provided lots of information on the activities in town and around. They were very responsive and immediately answered any question we had. We would love to come back.

Wonderful Cabin in the Mountains

We loved our stay at Tranquility Cabin. We were in town for our son's graduation from Western Carolina University and wish we had stayed sooner on previous visits. Thankfully, we have another child attending WCU and have four more years. We will be back! We have stayed in many VRBOs around the U.S. and this cabin was one of the best. It has all of the comforts of home and tucked amongst the trees. The birds were fun to watch from the porch and a wild turkey greeted us on our arrival. Steve & Angie were also amazing communicating with us - giving excellent directions and so, so much information about things to do in the area. Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Kimball

Host profile image
Easy going and fun loving couple! We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our adventures as guests on VRBO, and were excited for the opportunity to be Hosts as well!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to find a property that we would love to retire to one day.
We loved it at hello, after seeing hundreds and driving forever; this was charming, leveled (we don't feel like we will fall off the cliff). It is very private and it gave us an amazing sense of peace.

Sitting on porch rockers enjoying the birds, and the trees as well as the crisp mountain air was perfect, but as we sat in the evening and saw the majestic night sky without the city lights, we were sure we wanted others to enjoy it as well.

What makes this property unique

Upon entering our gated mountain community, you'll enjoy easy access to the cabin with level parking - and NO NEED for a 4x4!. Only 10 minutes from town, but feels like wilderness. The closest neighbor is downhill and barely visible through the trees. It looks like a mountain cabin, it feels like home.
