If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Peaceful Waters checks every box for comfort, cleanliness, amenities and customer service. We were there for a family reunion but the facility is ideal for any kind of gathering. Rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, kitchen has every cooking implement imaginable, pool and hot tub were clean and well-maintained, the outdoor space was well-kept and allowed for three generations to congregate in a variety of areas. Finally, Andy, the on-site manager and guest support, was extremely responsive, polite and thoughtful in his interactions. Our family was asking to return within the first 24 hours of being there. Peaceful Waters reflects its name and allows guests to enjoy their experience. Thank you for creating this special place.
