This was the second time we stayed at the Tranquil Getaway. It is close to our family and this makes a great "extra home" for visits. The home is comfy and well appointed for family stays. We look forward to staying again in the future.

The hosts are lovely here, but while the bedrooms, the bathrooms, and the living room have been updated, the rest of the property desperately needs work. The concrete on the path up to the door was rubble, and hard to walk on. The back deck was sad and worn down, and all the cushions had mold. At the price they are charging they need to fix these things. That said, it's a comfortable house, and there are few to no houses in the area at this price. It's extremely clean, the kitchen is relatively kitted out, a good size, and the living room is huge with a lot of comfortable seating. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms large and updated, and you will be happy here. The location is great, and it's sad the back deck isn't nicer as it's a lovely yard. With a little work it's an easy 10/10
