The owner lives onsite and was able to quickly address our needs. The listing stated laundry machines which there weren’t but he was able to let us use the laundry in the empty cabin-he changed the listing description after that. Cabin is close to Black River Falls and Hatfield for other adventures.

The property was beautiful, spacious and felt very private- it's right on Serenity Lake and has a hot tub with a view! The cabin was cozy and clean with lots of windows and natural light, which I appreciate. (That being said, you might want to bring a face mask for sleeping if you're sensitive to light, as there is a flood light out back.) There is a trail you can meander through the woods around Serenity Lake if you're so inclined, and plenty of trails very nearby! Would definitely return. ##### Stephanie O.

Perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the beautiful setting Serenity Cottages offers. The natural surroundings support native plants and many wild animals. Loved the low key, relaxed atmosphere (except for the periodic dog barking from the neighboring dog daycare). Each cottage is in its own private setting. The lake is small allowing for the enjoyment of non motorized water activities. It was great to have a relatively dark sky (bright yard light was a distractor) to view the stars. ##### Jill S.

The place is very quiet and relaxing. Lots of untouched nature. Great place for fishing .The cottage is nice and has everything you need. Brian the host is wonderful and friendly. He answered all of our questions and was very helpful. The hot tub in front of the cottage is wonderful for evening relaxation. We will be back in spring for sure. Worth the drive from Chicago if you need to get away and chill in peace and quiet. We already miss the place, specially two friendly ducks that would come out of the lake and hang out with us 😆 Highly recommend this awesome place!! ##### Katarzyna A.

My wife and I stayed at the Pheasant Cottage, with our pups. This cottage is smaller than the others but has the best view by far! Surrounded by trees and Serenity Lake, the view is hard to top, especially when it snows. Brian was a great host. Answered all of our questions in a timely manner and was there to assist in any way. He even cleaned off our car after it snowed, while he was out clearing the roads. We had an unforgettable experience. And can't wait to go back one day. ##### Vanessa A.

Aug 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Extensive Rules & Procedures The good: location close to ATV trails and nice view of the lake. The frustrating: extensive rules. Upon booking, received communication to pay pet fees outside of VRBO. Also stumbled upon a large list of pet restrictions on their website, all associated with additional fees if they weren’t followed. Two days before check in, received another long email with additional restrictions and charges. Beware you will incur additional charges if you don’t lock the gate, put the trash or linens in the correct place, or splash water out of the hot tub. All of the restrictions and fear of being charged left us on edge and not able to enjoy our stay. ##### Tera S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023
