This was our second visit to Tranquility Lodge and definitely won't be our last! The location is so secluded yet so close to everything the mountains have to offer. We really appreciate the little extras that Carol provides such as the coffee and snack bar to hold you over until you can get to the store, the lovely soaps and toiletry supplies in the bathrooms, and the fire/bbq supplies. The house is so warm and inviting, the beds are cozy and comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and the view surrounding property is is beyond belief.
