My only recommendation would be to put safety grab bars in the shower. The people with the most expendable income for travel are seniors, and keeping the shower safe benefits everyone. Was very happy with our stay and would definitely rebook. Highly recommended! The buffet breakfast is mostly carbs but I don't expect more from anyplace that offers free breakfast. Not a dealbreaker. You will be very pleased with your stay.

Buyer beware! When I booked my reservation on their…read morewebsite, it only gave me an option of "Resort View", whereas there is also a "Lake View" option that wasn't available. To my complete disappointment, "Resort View" means looking over their parking lot or the neighboring apartments and parking (my view). There are no mountain views or lake views from this option. Very misleading!! When confronting the desk clerk, she commented that I had Mountain views from my room. Obviously she had no idea what she was talking about - but it was absolutely NOT a mountain view, and you definitely didn't want to "sit on the balcony to sip a glass of wine" as the resort suggests! There were only cobwebs and dirty chairs! The only good thing about the resort was the Oaks Restaurant, and Adirondack chairs to sit by the lake. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste my money. I won't be back.

Wanted to do a quick getaway from Atlanta and chose tranquille resort. We decided to come and stay…read morefor two week nights as the prices were cheaper and with the wifi, we could work as well. It's only about a 2hr drive from where I am but there was a bit of traffic getting out of atlanta on a wed afternoon when we left so we didn't get in till dark. I called to say we might miss the office check in hours (till 6pm) so they kindly left the key in the cabin for us for whenever we arrived which was very helpful. The rooms were clean and kitchen and bathroom had pretty much everything you needed. We also utilized the charcoal grill. Only complaint was the lighting was a tad dark during the night but maybe it's to help you relax. Loved the view of the lake from the cabin, it was beautiful to wake up to. We were also able to bring our dog for a $60 fee. House rule does say no dog on bed so keep that in mind. There was a little doggy station on site and we were able to walk him around the property to potty. He enjoyed his stay and we liked going to the nearby trials in the morning/afternoon for a hike. There's an ingles nearby as well as some other restaurants if you need food options like McDonald's, Dunkin, couple of Pizza chains, and whatever a small town typically has to offer. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Start or finish the day on the back porch gazing at the mountains and Lake Chatuge.

I recently stayed at this resort and wanted to give my honest opinion. I'm always traveling, but…read morethis was work related. Mrs. Hill at the front desk was welcoming, but it seemed as though the rest of the staff had to force courtesy. Moving on to the rooms, the first room that was given to me had a moldy smell. After advising the front desk, I was moved to another room, which was better. The shower appeared to be coming apart and the ceiling was beginning to mildew; there was no smell. Other than this, the room was fine. Lastly, the restaurant. The food was decent. The salad bar was fresh and the trout was a tad salty. The lobster mac-n-cheese was pretty good. The views were wonderful, given it's in the mountains. All and all, my stay was fine, nothing to make me return, but I always say, make your own decision.

The rooms were a decent size, with comfortable beds and bedding. the bathrooms were nice and clean as well. We enjoyed the first floor lake room and enjoyed access to the property from our room. While the lake was quite a way from the property, it was better than looking out over the parking lot I suppose. S'mores at night were a great treat. We rented a pontoon boat from the marina and had a great time. We were charged twice on the gasoline, but called the next day and they removed a charge. The grounds were in good shape, pool was nice and looks like furniture was upgraded from older posts. We had brunch at The Oaks. It was OK. Two of us had issues with our food. We were credited $4.50 which was an insult, as a portion of our meal was inedible. We discovered some great and reasonably priced area restaurants, so probably would not revisit The Oaks. We would consider returning for another weekend stay and hopeful the resort continues making improvements to the property to match the rates they charge.

Okay, so I first went here around July of this year, but seeing as I did not have a Yelp account, I…read morecould not review it promptly then. I feel like now is as good a time as any other, as my opinion and experiences have not changed since then. We were stationed at the Cedar House property, and the house and surrounding views were simply stunning. The house was huge, and had 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, and accommodated a large group (10 people) appropriately. The bedrooms were spacious, but definitely had a dated (sort of Hotel-like) kind of feel to them. The entire place had a little bit of a dated feel, actually. The TVs were still those large, square TVs, and though we were supposed to have wi-fi, it wasn't working properly the week we came up. I honestly didn't mind, since my phone has appropriate internet connectivity, and I was able to tether it one night so we could browse through Hulu while we played games at the kitchen table as background noise. I mean, come on! You're going into the mountains to have an experience, to see sights you normally wouldn't see, and to make memories. I have a Verizon carrier, and didn't have a LOT of issues with phone service, but a lot of other people seemed to have issues. But you're in the mountains, and I feel like that's totally expected. I mean, why waste all day browsing facebook? You're out there to have fun, to hang out with people, to talk. And this is coming from a 22 year old college student more than adept at the ways of social media. The main floor was wheelchair accessible, with a huge entrance hall, and a very cabin-y kind of wooded feel to it. There are two decks, one on the lower level that blocks off 3/4 of the deck, and one on the upper floor that had a perfect view of the creek below. I loved the creek there! It was quick and bubbly, and a really nice mointain-y kind of touch. There was some sort of exterior deck, adjacent to the creek, as well as a set of stairs that led directly to the bank of the creek. Me and my friends played games out on it, more specifically, we had a raft and we traversed across it. The water was fast, and the creek bed wasn't very low in that area at all. Let's see... What else to say? Well the kitchen was already pre-equipped with pots, pans, cups, etc. All we really had to bring was our own food and entertainment. The parking seemed alright for the number of cars we had, but really, it was limited to maybe.... 5 or 6 cars. This cabin is the cabin that has started my obsession with recreating this experience. Because of this cabin, I'm going to be throwing my own cabin in the woods party in a few months, and I want all the guests to feel the way I felt when I was here: exhilarated, happy, excited. It really was one of the most memorable experiences I've had this entire year.
