Perfect family getaway

Our stay was just what we needed for peace and quiet. The host, Tim, was so friendly and helpful. The cabin was clean and stocked with basic needs for cooking and showering. There were some family games provided for use. No internet helped everyone to connect and enjoy eachothers company. The television picked up a few channels, however, there is a dvd player. Getting down to the lake path was tricky but driving to the lake to fish or swim isn't too far. One recommendation for visitors is bring a radio if you want music and dvd's to watch movies if you prefer. Overall, it was a nice, peaceful stay.

We had a short 3 night stay but I was fabulous! The owner was very polite and welcoming. He also gave us our privacy. The cabin is stocked with pretty much everything you need except food and personables. This made packing so easy. Ver clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Very nice, quiet, clean property.

The owner Tim is great. Met us at the property to give us keys and show us around. This is a great place if you want to just get away and unplug. Bring dvds if you want, there is no cable or internet and cell phones are very spotty. If thats what you're looking for this is the place for you.

Serenity Cabin Experience

Very nice quiet and peaceful environment. The only thing I would say is that we didn't know how to see the lake. We tried going down the road but it was very difficult walking and weeds were overgrown, no way to get close to the water. Just a little disappointed not knowing how to get there by car. But otherwise, had a great first time.

Great little spot

By far the cleanest cabin I've ever rented. Plenty of towels and pillows. Tim and Lois were very friendly, and even kind enough to run TP down to us when we ran out at 8:30pm! Love the back porch. There really isn't cell service (at least for T-Mobile) at the cabin, so prepare yourselves! The walk to lake isn't bad, but there are tons of tiny ticks, so bring heavy duty spray. Luckily Tim lent me his! Thanks for the awesome stay!
