Tranquility Retreat - Serene Setting

Welcome to Tranquility, a studio apt. with Tesla EV charging station. Our cozy (perfect for 1-2 guests), well appointed studio is located above a detached garage (with an ultra quiet garage opener) w/separate entrance on the same property as our single family home in Old Irving Park in Greensboro. Enjoy complete privacy in a safe, quiet, wooded setting and still be close to restaurants and shopping. Ample parking in the driveway or on the street. We're pet friendly too!

Filled with contemporary original art (by the host and for sale), Tranquility offers a comfortable queen sized bed with high quality linens and towels. Star gaze from bed through the sky light above or even bird watch year round. Enjoy our Nespresso coffee maker (coffee on the porch or at the picnic table anyone?). To make your stay feel like home, there’s also a toaster, microwave and mini fridge. Assorted snacks, wine and craft beer is provided for your comfort at cost. Roku enabled TV and WiFi is available.

We love pets and most are welcome. There is a one-time $30 charge per stay for your furry family member. We only ask our guests to keep pets off the bed or couch. We realize this may be difficult but it really helps with keeping the furnishings cleaner and in overall better condition. We hope our guests understand.

Our guests can access the property by way of a lighted stone walking path. Access includes use of an outdoor picnic table in a private wooded setting.

We are often home and available to address guest questions. We also communicate via text or phone call.

Our neighborhood is safe, quiet and pretty! We are fortunate to enjoy living on a dead-end street so car traffic is very limited. Guests are a short walk or drive to several grocery stores (Harris Teeter, Fresh Market, Whole Foods) and local farmers markets, great restaurants and beautiful parks. Downtown Greensboro is just a short 10 minute drive and is home to the International Civil Rights Museum, local shops, bars and restaurants. We are also close to UNCG, North Carolina A&T University, the Greensboro Science Center, Greensboro Colliseum and the Tanger Center.

Come stay with us for all the comforts of home and experience a unique, clean, safe, non-hotel stay.

Just read our reviews. They speak for themselves.

Get around by private car, walking or Uber / Lift.

We can guide you to the best restaurants in town and offer suggestions on things to do. We’ve also been known to help our guests (who are staying with us prior to a relocation) find a great neighborhood to make Greensboro their forever home.
No weapons allowed on the property. No smoking or vaping.

There is a $30/stay fee for pets.

Quiet Retreat
I came to rest, relax and think and was not disappointed. The unit was clean and comfortable, especially the bed. I loved sleeping by the windows. The neighborhood is very quiet and perfect for taking a walk, run or bike ride.

Perfect spot!
We have stayed here before and we love it. It’s so much nicer than a hotel, and it’s in a lovely part of Greensboro. Good food is within walking distance, and the neighborhood is great for just taking an afternoon walk!

Urban respite
This was my second stay at this property. It was just as good as I remembered. Everything I needed for a two day stay for work. Coffee in the mornings, wine in the evenings on the little porch after a nice walk through the neighborhood. It was delightful, perfect for one person! And the kitty cat was an added bonus!

Tranquility lived up to its name!
We loved our stay! Everything was so clean and welcoming! It’s the perfect location for visiting our daughter at UNCG! We will definitely be back! The place is decorated so lovely and the artwork is amazing! We were so comfortable during our stay and the picnic table was perfect to enjoy lunch together! Truly a gem of a place!

Perfect couple (and canine) retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was cozy and comfortable. Our little home-away-from-home during a family visit for the holidays. And there is everything you could possibly need just a few blocks away. But you’d never know it in this tranquil setting!

Cozy studio, quiet neighborhood, very peaceful
The studio was lovely and clean, in a very private location with access to a quiet garden / picnic table. The neighborhood was quiet and safe but with quick access to great restaurants and nearby major roads. Check in was easy and hosts were informative and responsive. Highly recommend!

Aptly named
I was in town for a 2-day class and Tranquility provided an excellent environment for the intensive studying I had to do. There were so many amenities and no distractions. I would happily stay here again in the future! Thanks Linda!

Love, love, love
I loved everything about this place. The fall colors were beautiful. The place was clean and comfortable. The hosts were very nice. For the hot natured people that are worried about staying above the garage, don’t worry, the air conditioner is better than the one I have at my house 😍we will be coming back.
