We appreciated the quiet and the beautiful birds at the feeder. It was lovely to be able to relax on the front porch in the swing every afternoon/evening!
It was the perfect place for our little family getaway for the weekend. Super close to everything but in a remote location that makes you feel 1,000,000 miles away . I highly recommend.
Tranquility Paradise has amazing views! The house is welcoming and cozy and the paneling and original cabinet's of the house give it a lot of charm. The area is quiet and peaceful. Linens and towels were great!
Beautiful modern cabin. Had everything we need. Very quiet and beautiful scenery. A bit of a drive from app state but we enjoyed the beautiful drive up the mountain! Would stay here again for sure.
The cabin itself was nice and had all the necessities. My husband and I recommend an upgrade of the mattress in the master bedroom; the softness of the current one left me with a backache and him a little stiff. We truly enjoyed the mountain view, and the proximity to other mountain attractions.
We had a really good time. It was a really nice place to stay. The host are very nice people and helped is out when our plans changed a litt bit.The place was right about in the middle of the different places we had to be at, so it worked very well.Thanks for a great stay.
Our family of 3 loved the quiet and peace of this tranquil paradise. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed birding, relaxing on the front porch, and getting sweet visits from local dogs and cats. It was great being so close to Boone and Elk Knob while also feeling very private. We will definitely stay here again!
It was an amazing location and house was very clean when we got there would come back again thank you for being a great host.

About the host

We are a family of 5 and when my husband retires from the Marine Corps in 4 years, we wanted a small piece of heaven in the mountains of North Carolina. We love using it as a vacation home and sharing its cozy charm and peacefulness with visitors.
Why they chose this property
Rich Mountain Cabin was the perfect choice for us because it's less than 20 minutes from the amenities that downtown Boone has to offer-great restaurants, games at Appalachian State, greenway trails, indoor aquatic center, and playgrounds, but it feels worlds away from the quick pace of today's life. Besides the occasional car driving by on the gravel road, the only thing you can hear from the porch is the water flowing in the river down the hill and the birds chirping. We are close to some of our favorite hikes at Moses Cone and along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Elk Knob State Park is 5 minutes up the mountain. We also enjoy fishing and tubing down the New River. The fact that is backs up to Elk Knob Game Land means it will continue to be pristine and quiet.
