The New River with private access is only a short walk on the large lawn perfect for star gazing, chasing butterflies and catching fireflies. Go down the steps to the river shore. You can bring your tubes and kayaks and access the river. Bring your fishing equipment and have a great day fishing. We have a free electric bike charging station and air compressor for use. Water hose and cleaning rags are available. Bikes and other equipment can be securely stored in the basement. The New River Trail is within a short walking distance.

Perfect property for a New River getaway. We were in town to fish the Kayak Adventure Series New River Revival and this house was perfect for our group. All of our equipment was safe and the host made everything seamless.

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!

Fine peaceful getaway

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.

Great stay

Great stay! Close to New River Trail (Ivanhoe entrance), stocked kitchen, pingpong table, cornhole in basement, firepit bring your own lighter fluid, and gas grill needs work. Owner has lots of board games but we brought our own to play indoors when we got bored. River is not wide and deep enough for fishing but it's cold anyway this time of the year. I prefer a cabin with a dock but hubby wants to come back to Shady River cabin in the summer. Fees are very reasonable and the owner's communication is great! Such a shame that the neighbor on the right got an ugly wide shed or barn partially blocking the best view of river and mountain. Overall. great.
