Great Stay At Lake Tillery Lake House

The house is on a cove that is a little community. There are cove views from all angles and a fire pit and dock with chairs so you can have a night cap or a morning cup of coffee by the lake. We will be looking to reserve this home more this year!

We enjoyed our weekend so much! Literally everything we needed was right at the house. It’s u usual to find a rental with a fully stocked kitchen, I really appreciated that! The house was cute and clean. Plenty of towels and extra bedding if needed. The beds were cold table, no one woke up with back aches . It was so peaceful and quiet. We will 100% be back.

We booked this beautiful home for our Easter weekend 2026, and it was an excellent decision. The house is truly beautiful and spacious. The lovely flowers in the garden are stunning, and there is a wonderful fire pit that we enjoyed immensely while watching the beautiful sunsets.The house features porches on both the ground floor and the upper floor—the perfect spot for enjoying morning coffee. The home is very spacious; it can easily accommodate several people. We all slept wonderfully, as the beds are all excellent. Fir the fishing people, let me share that my husband fulfilled a dream, as he was able to catch more fish here than anywhere else—and believe me, we have rented quite a few lakeside homes! According to my daughter and son, the room with the bunk beds, sofa, and big TV is a relaxing spot for kids. The living room was very comfortable, featuring some very nice sofas. The kitchen is spacious, as is the dining area. I cooked many meals there, and my husband used the gas grill one evening. I really loved the home's decor, especially the giant clock on the wall near the entrance. The owner Lisa is such kind person, very attentive and helpful. Thanks Lisa for sharing your home with us. Everything was wonderful. We absolutely loved every single thing about this stay and we hope to return soon. I give it 10 stars! It was a lovely place to rest and reconnect with mother nature. Hugs, The Mendoza family.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been enjoying day trips to Lake Tillery for boating and water sports for over 15 years. We dreamed of owning a home on the lake and found Tranquility Base to be the perfect spot for rest, relaxation and making memories. We love that it's located at the end of a cove, so it's quiet with little boat traffic. The flat lot offers lots of room for outdoor play and easy access to the water.

What makes this property unique

The property is situated on a large flat lot, one of the biggest in the area. Ample parking for multiple vehicles and trailers.
