About this property

Spoil yourself with this beautiful Lake Balboa retreat

"A gorgeous view of Lake Balboa--and you owe it to yourself to watch the sun rise over the lake at least one morning during your stay!"

Grab one of our kayaks and explore the vastness of this gem of a resort. Or just relax on our spacious dock or the cozy back patio and enjoy this quiet corner of the lake.

As the sun sinks low, sink into a comfy couch and stream your favorite shows, or read a good book--or cook up a feast in our fully-stocked kitchen! Affordable luxury at its best.

Just minutes from the Balboa Marina and the popular Sunset Grill and Dulce Vita Italian Restaurant--and now we have a Domino's nearby.

And don't forget, you can rent a pontoon boat from the marina and dock it at Serenity at the Lake!

From start to finish, this was an excellent choice for us! We highly recommend Lance and Suzanne's house. Amazing hosts, knowledgeable and responsive. Beautiful sunrises and what a tranquil atmosphere. Lake Balboa is the perfect size for boating, kayaking, and it is smooth enough for even a novice paddle boarder. Hot Springs Village has so much to do!

We were very pleased with this property. The proximity to the lake was wonderful. We enjoyed many visits to the swing on the deck by the lake. So relaxing. The house was well appointed and we really appreciated the extras such as spices, plenty of paper goods and they were nice, not generic store brands. The owners were responsive and check out was easy. The only regret I have is that I forgot to start the dishwasher before we left which was really the main thing they ask besides taking out the garbage. That will bother me for a long time. We hope to be able to return when we visit early next year.

House was clean, kitchen & supplies were well stocked. Hosts communication was good.We were informed at time of booking that lake had been drawn down for maintenance & no guarantee it would be back to normal by time of our stay. However, we didn't realize that would mean the lake would be 100% unusable.

About the host

Hosted by Lance and Suzanne Lefler

Host profile image

We moved to Hot Springs Village in the Fall of 2020 to escape the rat race and find some space to breathe. Hot Springs Village was just the ticket. We love living in a resort town! And while our golf games aren't exactly the greatest (although Suzanne does faithfully watch the PGA), we enjoy the water and hiking the trails with our dogs. Our passion is to provide you with the best, most relaxing getaway possible. So we furnished the Lake House with all the goodies we would want in a getaway, from a spectacular view of the lake to comfy couches and restful beds--and a full kitchen. I (Lance) love to cook! Consider this your home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house the instant we saw it. We have always loved the water, so we jumped at the chance to own Serenity at the Lake! We hope you love it too.

What makes this property unique

Our Lake House is situated in one of the quietest corners of Lake Balboa, with a spacious backyard and a view that is off the charts. Enjoy your morning coffee on our dock swing, or explore Hot Springs Village's largest lake on one of our sleek kayaks. Or curl up on the couch with a good book.
