Had a very Merry Christmas
We rented this house to have a place to hold our family Christmas. The layout of the home was perfect and the large gourmet kitchen was wonderful for cooking a huge family meal. The dinning room was wonderful as the entire family could sit and eat. The Lake view was beautiful including the swans and Sunsets. Would definitely recommend this rental to others

Lazy Days at the Lake
Serendipity is a welcoming, comfortable stay. From the fully appointed kitchen to the games and water toys, you can easily spend your days relaxing your way. We were greeted each day by amazing wildlife and treated to beautiful sunsets each evening. You will enjoy your time here.

Beautiful and peaceful!!
Our family had a wonderful time at the lakehouse! It is a quad level home and the layout of the house flows nicely. All the bedrooms had comfortable queen beds and closets for hanging up clothes. The 3 bedrooms upstairs shared a nice sized bathroom (no tub). The single bedroom on the lower level offered a little more privacy and had a jet tub! The kitchen was well stocked with seasonings, sauces, paper supplies...all the basics! The microwave was really cool, and there is an ice maker (just make sure you turn it on when you arrive). The frosty mugs were very nice to have as there is lots of sunshine! My husband and our kids enjoyed walking to the dock to fish and also taking the kayaks out. The garage offers lots and lots of water supplies- kayaks, paddles, tubes, life jackets, water toys...the only thing we didn't find was goggles. The water was very clear and had tons of lily pads! The hot tub was most enjoyable, and we spent a good amount of time just hanging out on the deck, soaking up the sun. The sunroom was probably my favorite place to have coffee and relax and my son's favorite place to nap! Absolutely beautiful home, and our favorite vacation place by far! A great place to relax and hang out. Our family truly enjoyed our time together at the lakehouse, and we would love to go back next summer!
