Fantastic rustic cabins, but with all the amenities of a hotel, enjoyable places to go they've got outdoor activities and plenty of places to stroll and watch nature recommend it enough!

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.

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. We are planning to be back during the summer to take advantage of the boat docks, on-site canoe rental, kids playhouse and a cool swim in the lake. Did I mention the staff?

Not sign posted the best from the main road, albeit on leaving, we drove up the road to find the actual main entrance. Also maybe worth having a sign for the main resort and checking in. Great reception on arrival and room ready at 2pm. Loved the old world rustic feel in the main lobby. Also the dining room looked very nice and also rustic. First impressions on the cottage (1303), was very spacious and seemed well appointed. Nice big TV and AC system. Very quiet and comfy beds. We did notice that there seemed to be lots of Joro spiders around. Native to GA now, but maybe worth getting rid of webs on a daily basis. I managed to clean our balcony area off with the fire brush from the room. Never saw them again in the two days we were there. Nature I guess. Haha. Anyway, after checking around the resort, we headed to the pool area which was small, but plenty of chairs to use. The jacuzzi was clean and hot albeit no bubbles. The switch wasn't working on either the indoor or outdoor. The pool was also clean enough and the water was quite warm. Looking forward to play golf tomorrow as we saw it from the balcony of the dining room. Both my brother and I had the buffet which for $34. An absolute bargain. Food quality was pretty good and service exceptional. Kristen (dining room supervisor) and her team were on point and very attentive I couldn't give the resort any more praise on how nice and polite everyone treated us. 5 star! Especially Kristen. We booked 2 nights and 2 rounds of golf. Steve (the Dir Of Golf) was awesome! I'm also a fellow pro and he welcomed us and had a great chat. Lenny was also a blast. Super nice guy. We tee'd off around 10:30am the first day. 75 degrees and perfect! The greens were a little slow (maybe 8-9 stimp) but they rolled well. Fairways, tee's and greens all looked very healthy and well maintained. Played well. 71 first day. Next day, we decided to play a little later to get the warmest part of the day. And no dew!! Had another great day of golf. A smooth 70 and my brother a great 84. Other than the 1st hole being an easy downhill tee shot to a raised green, it was a great track. Would certainly love to come back again maybe in April / May and see how the course holds up. May be bringing a larger group next time. I'm pretty sure!!! Thanks again to Steve for welcoming us. Lenny, you're a rock star and Kristen, you were fantastic! I'll be back!!!!!

The place was "surface clean", cobwebs in cabinets and on light fixtures, dusty shelves. I contacted Little Bear rentals via email about the false advertising and they apologized and said to let them know if we would like any compensation. I felt like some kind of a refund was owed and kind of unprofessional to say to let them know if we "wanted compensation". They refunded us $50 which I thought was kind of low but at least it was something. So the reason for 2 stars is due to False advertising, sub par cleaning, and unprofessional management.

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.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, and we loved the complimentary coffee in the lobby. Things that could be improved are the functioning of sliding glass doors (a little tough to open) and more privacy from the barn door on the bathroom. (If you stood on either side of the barn door, you can see in).

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.
