***Rates that are listed are beginning rates during the 'Off-season'. Please contact owner for questions.

VERY IMPORTANT!! Because VRBO's format does not allow an accurate break-down of the rates for the on-season, off-season, weeknights, weekends and weekly's-ALL RATES ARE APPROX. Often times, we can offer a better rate than what is depicted as when additional guests are added, it can come out with quite a difference in the rate. So, please contact us for the exact amount depending on your dates, number of guests and which home you would like. IN MOST CASES, IT WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER THAN WHAT the rates will compute through VRBO/in some cases, it will be more. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The rates for additional guests is obviously more during the "On-season" but VRBO does not have an option for this. Also, for a weekly rental, the 20% offered, does not include the additional guests so the rate you will be quoted will be quite a bit higher than it actually is. Please contact us and we can let you know exactly what the rate is (not including VRBO's fee).

There is a Cancellation Fee of $100 if you cancel after booking, that is separate from VRBO's policy.

Great Respite!

My husband and I were moving from Oregon to Ohio and needed a respite and some nature between our long driving days. This place was beautiful and very clean. The owners of the property were very nice and accommodating and very responsive when we had questions and/or needs. We had a lot of fun Just FYI, not a complaint. The only spices are salt and pepper. There are no cooking oils, nor are there things like Saran Wrap, foil, etc. You will need to bring those.

Great Hideaway

Beautiful scenery and such a quiet little area. Went during the week days and i believe there might have been another couple staying there at a different cabin but never saw or heard them. The place had everything we needed, the hot tub was my high light after bouncing around in side by side all day. Would recommend to anyone and the hosts were super sweet. Thanks guys.

Perfect getaway

The Cottages on Serenity Lake were perfect for our family! Bear’s Den is a rustic looking cabin with all the modern amenities. We enjoyed the wooded privacy it has to offer along with the lake right at our back door. The hot tub was definitely a bonus as well as the fire pit. Brian was extremely accommodating. He took time out of his day, not only to explain to us, but actually guide us to some local fishing holes. Although it turned out that the best fishing was right out the back door. This cottage is highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxing, peaceful getaway!

Wedding weekend

We loved the quiet atmosphere of the large property and clean cabin. Granddaughters had a wonderful time and slept very well. Cabin is well laid out with the bedrooms apart from each other and the bathroom in between. There is complete privacy so you can walk outside and sit on the deck in your jammies.
