The gravel access road is about 1 mile in distance and easy to navigate with a few bumps along the path that are typical with mountain gravel roads except for the last short distance of about ⅛ mile, it does start to have some stepper inclines at the end. We highly recommend an AWD or 4x4 vehicle.

The entire cabin is available to the guest with the exception of the owner's closet and garage.
The Neighborhood:
Tranquil Ridge is located 20 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge providing that perfect private mountain escape but close enough to enjoy all the attractions in the area.

If you are not use to driving on gravel roads, with inclines, we recommend an AWD or 4x4 vehicle. Some front wheel vehicles will make it but from experience we do not recommend attempting it in a minivan or passenger van. The key is keeping the vehicle moving and stay to the topside of the roads and not cutting the road with sharp turns.
