The best yet!

My family has been visiting the Brevard area for 14 years and our stay at Lake Tranquility was by far the best. Rick provided everything we needed from the time of booking to check out. The location can’t be beat and the house is beautiful and well equipped.

Perfect fishing spot and extremely clean

Had a wonderful time catching fish off the 2 docks, using the paddle board and cooking in the well stocked kitchen! Beautiful windows to view the lake and landscaping. Great neighborhood and enjoyed hiking as well as the pool. Comfortable beds and incredible stars at night. Felt at home and our young kids enjoyed the bunk beds and playroom games.

Amazing getaway on a lake

Our group of four adults and two kids had an amazing time here. The house was clean and spacious. The property is on a small lake which was perfect for swimming and kayaking. Communication with the owner was excellent. We hope to return next summer!

Tranquility is just the start....

We absolutely loved this home! Celebrated two birthdays here with family and the house accommodated us all wonderfully. The kitchen and eating area is perfect for a larger group to gather and connect. The location of the home on the lake is ideal and the home itself is beautiful - well maintained (even updated with a new Master Bath!) and very well stocked with all that you need for an enjoyable stay. Every morning we watched the sunrise from either the deck overlooking the lake or from right inside in the two reclining chairs overlooking the lake. What an amazing way to start the day! Rick and Margaret are wonderful hosts. Very communicative and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed during our stay. We will definitely return!!

A Little Slice of Paradise

We came together for a siblings get together. Upon arrival, we knew right then this was the best place we could have reserved. This dwelling was so peaceful and serene we found it hard to venture out. Most of our afternoons were spent on the expansive porch sipping our cocktail of the day gazing at the beautiful lake. We decided on our final day that this is the place we will hopefully return next year. Thank you Margaret and Rick for sharing your lovely home with us!

We were so happy with this property. It was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for our family of 5 adults. The views were amazing. Having access to the lake with kayaks and a paddle board was a fun bonus. The property manager was very responsive to any questions. Connestee Falls is a wonderful community, and the surrounding area has many beautiful hikes. If we return to this area, we would love to stay here again

Just what my family needed.

My family enjoyed relaxing in this very comfortable home on the lake. The owners provided everything we could possibility need during our stay. Our teens loved the playroom and all the games available. My husband loved fishing of the muliple docks and I enjoyed the serene views while reading. This properly is surrounded by nature at its finest and lots of activities available. Just a short trip to town for some local treats and small town shopping. I highly reccomend!
