Short and Sweet

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!

About the host

Hosted by Timothy k Lee

My wife LOIS an I have retired here from Indianapolis. The country setting close to the lake was to much to resist. the Peace and quite and the enjoyment of the nature and wildlife. she named this place serenity before the two cabins came on the market. now we host and enjoy our guest here in our cabins.

Why they chose this property

WE are in the middle of national forest on a dead end black top road. very little traffic the boat ramp is about 7 to 8 minutes away Why not serenity.
