The home was immaculate, very well supplied, and has recently been renovated and decorated. It is very private and peaceful, with a lovely lake view. The master bedroom and bath are huge, but second bedroom does not have adjoining bath. The driveway is easily accessible for two cars and the garage is a huge plus! We enjoyed using the SUPs on the lake. Thanks for hosting us.

One-of-a-Kind Peaceful Mountain and Lakefront Property

You cannot find a more peaceful location than this house. Located on a very calm lake, set in the midst of beautiful mountains, it feels like the setting is from a movie. Most days we had the lake totally to ourselves, and enjoyed paddleboarding and kayaking. The house was super clean, had amazing views of the lake, and lots of space in the kitchen, living, game room areas for hanging out with family. We also had a chance to visit the neighborhood pool, which has a dedicated lane for swimming laps. Downtown Brevard is super cute, and has some great restaurants. The owners are super responsive and committed to providing a great experience. We will definitely be returning!

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 relaxing remote getaway

House was great for our family of 4 (yes it can sleep a lot more). The paddle boards and kayaks were used every day we were there; a much appreciated addition to the rental. They do need to be cleaned out of spiders every day before use (it’s the woods and a covered area, should be expected).With rainy weather while we were there it was perfect, fewer people and still getting warm sun most of the day while we were there. We did have an issue with the fridge no longer cooling on our second to last day there (Saturday). The owner was very responsive and offered a partial refund since it would be Monday after we left before anyone could come service it (we didn’t take it, one day with no fridge isn’t a huge deal for us). We will absolutely be coming back, hopefully the positive reviews don’t make it impossible to book in the future

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.

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!
