Cottage

Tranquility Cottage was a cute bungalow situated in a private off the road location. We had 3 adults and 1 infant on this 2 day trip. The house was clean and provided everything we needed. For our short stay this worked out great.

Perfect spot to visit family

This property is so convenient to Pennybyrn for anyone visiting family there! Could walk or drive and go back and forth during day, which was helpful with teenagers. House was perfect for the 4 of us and teens had own space upstairs. Hosts left water, snacks and coffee pods and the house was nicely decorated. We’ll be back!

Cute place, but very damp

This property was an accurate depiction of the online photos. The location to High Point and HPU was great! The place was old, needed a few repairs but was very clean. The property was very private and quiet. My only complaint (but a big one) was how damp the home was. It smelled heavily of mildew and was so damp that our clothes hanging in the closet and in our suitcases stayed damp. The air worked great and kept it cool, it was just always very humid. The home could use a dehumidifier at the very least and to solve the problem the basement really needs to be addressed as that’s where we decided the moisture was probably coming from. The owners were pleasant.
