Weekend on the lake

My family had a great time at this large and comfortable lake house. We enjoyed the fantastic view and easy lake access. The provided kayaks were perfect for a weekend paddling and exploring the laid-back lake. Excellent communication and easy check-in made everything go smoothly. Thanks for a fun weekend of de-stressing!

Gorgeous Weekend Stay

We had a lovely weekend stay to relax and work. Check in was easy, the place was spotless and spacious, and the hot tub was the cherry on top! The view, with autumn leaves, was stunning and the weather couldn’t have been better. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous Family Funhouse

Beautiful state, beautiful house. Exactly as pictured. Enjoyed all the amenity’s . So much to do from only 15min to an hour away. Hosts responded quickly with any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend for any occasions. The only issue was it says the property sleeps 10 and with adults some of the beds were twins so it is tight fit.

This was the perfect property for our family. Plenty of space, big yard, access to water. The deck space with the awning was a great hangout with lake views. The house is well maintained and the hosts were quick to respond.

Relaxing 40th Birthday weekend.

Beautiful home and location! Water front access with on site kayaks and pedal boats were a lot of fun. Often times you never know if you're going to love the sleeping arranget and I have to say, all the beds were wonderful. We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday and it was everything we dreamed of. We loved our stay at Serenity by the lake.

Great reunion get-together!

We were a group of 6 lifelong friends who are spread near and far, and hadn't all been away together in 15 years. There were 3 "must haves" on our list: on a lake, hot tub, fire pit. This property fit the bill. Easy check in process. Very clean. Beautiful views from the deck where we spent most of our time (weather was not the most cooperative, but can't control that). Hosts were very responsive for any questions we had during our stay. We had the most amazing time laughing, eating -- a lot of eating -- and reminiscing. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing place

We stayed for a little girls weekend and the house slept all 8 of us very comfortably with room for more. The location is great! Nice and quiet with plenty to do. We honestly just hung out at the house and had a blast! Kayaked, grilled, sunbathed, had a bonfire and used the hot tub. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, relaxing setting

We completely enjoyed our 1 week stay at this lake side home. It was as advertised, spotlessly clean on arrival and had all the basics to help us enjoy our stay. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, lounging next to the lake and time at night around the good sized fire pit. Perhaps our favorite view was from the deck which gave an expansive view and was comfortable with a table, deck furniture and an awning to shield from direct sun. Would definitely recommend!!

Great House with Helpful Owners

Our family stayed at this property over the holidays and had a wonderful experience. We arrived on Christmas Day and the owners were very helpful and helped us pre-purchase groceries since the stores would be closed. We were very appreciative of this and it helped make our holiday perfect. Everything in the house was as described and clean. The lake was iced over and was a beautiful view. The only thing that was missing was a working fireplace. We would definitely rent this property again!

It was one of the best vacation we had in the past few years, Great location with excellent ambience, adding to that the view from deck was awesome, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! I can't put it in words the feeling we had having coffee and break fast on the deck, so calm and refreshing! Looking forward to visit this vacation home again soon!
