Summary: Tranquil Waters Retreat was perfect for our two-family getaway! The home is beautifully decorated, spotless, and stocked with everything we needed. We loved the bonus game room with ping pong and board games, and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for everyone to relax. The lake views were gorgeous and made our stay so peaceful. Truly an ideal spot for making memories—we’d definitely come back!
