    The stay was the best part of our trip.

    April 23, 2013

    My wife and I stayed here for a motorcycle race that was being held in Austin. It means a great deal to us that the owner, Nathan, is also a motorcyclist. He was exceptionally accomodating to our needs. The breakfast was excellent, we truly felt spoiled! Even with all the traffic we encountered in Austin and Dallas, we still plan on returning and staying here again.

    Quiet, Romantic, Peaceful.... Tranquility

    April 08, 2013

    We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary which is one we will never forget. The stress immediately melted away as we arrived at Tranquility. Nathan had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting in our room upon arrival. The property is beautiful with many places to relax and take in the fabulous views, especially loved the hammock. The sunset was AMAZING! Nathan was awesome and the breakfast was such a treat! Looking forward to returning! Thanks. Marie and Ron Castro

    Great Weekend Getaway!

    March 18, 2013

    Nathan is a very accommodating host and innkeeper. He is very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The Inn was very quiet and relaxing, the pictures really don't do it justice. The breakfast was French inspired and I could never finish it because there was so much! I cant really add anymore to all the already outstanding reviews. Looking forward to our next visit.

    It coouldn't have been better!

    November 25, 2012

    We were treated like royalty! And what an absolutely beautiful place to be! Next visit we will not be so busy with scheduled events so that we may enjoy the true "tranquility" of this retreat! The innkeeper, Nathan, is a five star also. Everything was perfect, breakfast to die for, and timeliness of its morning arrival conformed to our schedule needs. We will definitely return when we are back in Austin area!

    Overall Just Amazing

    November 01, 2012

    My husband and I spent our honeymoon up here last April and it was magnificient. Nathan had champagne and strawberries waiting in our room for us and walked us through everything. We had never been to Austin before so he had an entire book with menus from various restaraunts and pages of different things to do while we were up there. He had breakfast for us every morning and just made our overall trip amazing. We plan on coming back for our one year anniversary or even before then! Thank you Nathan you are truly the kindest person we have ever met!! Thank you!, Eric and Kaitlin Harmon

    Wonderful Escape

    October 30, 2012

    Tranquility was a marvelous relaxing place to take my bride for our 30th anniversary! Secluded, quiet and not far from great places to be, the breakfast was exceptional and on our time schedule, and Nathan was quite hospitable and very cordial. For someone from out of town, the resources he has provided were very helpful in dining recommendations. We'll need to do it again...soon. Hank and Jennifer
