The Venue

One Resort. One Weekend. One Unforgettable Reunion.

Tranquille Resort is designed for exactly this — a private lakeside setting where every family has their own cabin and the whole group shares a dock, a fire pit, and Lake Chatuge.

Up to 36 Guests

7 private lakefront cabins sleeping 2–10 each. Every family has their own space while staying on the same property.

Private Dock — Yours Exclusively

600+ feet of waterfront on Lake Chatuge. The dock, the lake, and the shoreline are exclusively your group's for the duration.

Pontoon Boat Included

Book 3+ nights and the pontoon is included for one full day. Plan a cruise, a sunset ride, a fishing run — the day is yours.

Multiple Fire Pit Areas

Lakeside bonfire pits with seating for the whole group. Firewood on-site. The best conversations happen here.

Exclusive Use of Cabin Grounds

When you book the full resort, the cabins, dock, fire pits, and 3-acre waterfront are reserved for your group. Amelia's Cafe on-site remains open to the public on weekends.

2 Hours from Atlanta

Central to Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Alabama — an easy drive for families coming from multiple states.

Why Tranquille

Why families choose Tranquille for their Georgia reunion

Everyone stays on the same property

No scattered hotels or separate vacation rentals. Seven cabins on three acres of lakefront — close enough that everyone can gather, spread out enough that each family has their own space.

The lake is the activity

Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, pontoon cruises, swimming from the dock — Lake Chatuge keeps every generation entertained without anyone having to organize a trip somewhere else.

No coordination headaches

One reservation. One property. One contact. We handle the logistics so you can handle the family.

Accessible from across the Southeast

Two hours from Atlanta. Three from Charlotte. Two from Knoxville and Chattanooga. Families flying in can land in Atlanta (Hartsfield-Jackson) and drive straight up.

Boutique scale — intimate, not corporate

This isn't a sprawling conference resort. It's 7 renovated lakefront cabins, a private dock, and a staff that treats your group like family. The intimacy is the point.

FAQ

Family Reunion Venue Questions

What is included in a full resort rental?
Exclusive use of all 7 lakefront cabins (sleeps up to 36), the private dock on Lake Chatuge, all bonfire and gathering areas, and the full 3-acre waterfront — reserved for your group. Water rentals (kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, GoBoats, pontoon) are available to rent separately on-site. Amelia's Cafe is on the property and open to the public on weekends.
Is the cabin property exclusively ours during a full resort rental?
Yes. The cabins, private dock, fire pits, and 3-acre waterfront grounds are exclusively reserved for your group — no other guests in those spaces. Amelia's Cafe is on-site and remains open to the public on weekends, but the rest of the property is entirely yours.
How many guests can the resort accommodate?
Up to 36 guests across all 7 cabins. The Lodge sleeps 10, the Lake House sleeps 6, and the four one-bedroom cabins each sleep 4–6. The Loft works well for couples wanting privacy.
What are the nearest airports?
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) is the closest major airport at approximately 2 hours south. Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA) is about 2 hours northwest. Groups flying in typically rent vehicles and drive up.
Can we bring an outside caterer?
Yes — outside caterers are welcome. Every cabin has a full kitchen for self-catering. Amelia's Cafe handles coffee, pastries, beer, wine, and mimosas on Friday through Sunday. For larger catered meals, we can recommend local vendors.
Is this venue suitable for elderly family members?
Yes. The property is flat and accessible along the waterfront. The lake activities (dock fishing, pontoon rides, kayaking) are low-impact and inclusive. Each cabin has a private porch for relaxing without needing to navigate trails or stairs.
What activities are available for teenagers and kids?
Kayaking, paddleboarding, GoBoats, fishing, swimming, bonfire s'mores, lawn games, and pontoon boat rides. Teens especially love the GoBoats — self-driving electric boats that are hard to put down.
How far in advance do we need to book?
Peak summer weekends (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) book 6–12 months in advance. Full resort rentals for those dates go even faster. Reach out as early as possible — we can check dates and hold them while you confirm with your group.
Do you host reunions from outside Georgia?
Frequently. We regularly host groups from Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. The resort is well-situated as a meeting point for families spread across the Southeast.
Is there a minimum stay for full resort rentals?
Full resort rentals are typically available for 2-night minimum stays, with 3- and 4-night stays qualifying for the pontoon boat and all-watercraft inclusions respectively. Contact us for specific availability and pricing.
