Love this place

My family and I love this cabin! Great fishing even from the dock. The cabin and the bunkhouse are very nice, well furnished and beds are comfortable. It rained for the majority of our stay but the well stocked game cabinet kept the entire family entertained. This is truly a hidden gem and we cannot wait to be back!

Sarona Serenity summer vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sarona Serenity and will be back again next year...already working on dates! The house was perfect for our size and the amenities were great. We loved that it was off the beaten path a little bit and offer peacefulness and tranquility. From our lake view, we could see bald eagles daily fishing for their dinner and it was so cool just to watch those majestic birds.The owner was extremely helpful and always available if we had a question.Highly recommend to anyone looking for an up-north vacation place!Thank youPatricia

Beautiful lake cabin getaway!

We lived our stay! The host was responsive and helped us with every step of our stay. The layout was perfect to enjoy our group of four friends, while playing games, having a bonfire and exploring the lake. The sunsets were stunning! Lots of amenities to choose from, we had everything we needed for our weekend stay.

Beautiful Cabin!

We loved our stay here! Josh is nice and very responsive. The cabin is spacious and clean. Great home away from home. Kids especially loved the bunk house and enjoyed some games. Was also great being able to dock our boat and enjoy the lake. The cabin is exactly as described!

This is our second time staying here and we had another great week at Bear Lake. The house and bunk house are ideal for our family and we love how well stocked the kitchen is and the availability of the Blackstone. The house was clean and Josh is easy to work with and very responsive. The convivence of the boat landing next door is great and it gets very little use so its not an issue for noise or congestion. The pier is newer and well maintained. It easily handled our 21' ski boat. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for some fun and relaxing time at Bear Lake.

Chillin at the Lake

Beautiful property located on a quiet dead-end road with level lakefrontage. Spacious well-equipped home with a roomy separate bunkhouse for overflow guests. Loved cooking on the supplied Blackstone Grill!!! We will be booking for next year for sure.

Annual Bear Lake Vactation

My family and I had a great stay at Sarona Serenity. The property was as described and the view was amazing. We have been coming to Bear Lake for over 20 years but have never stayed at this end of the lake. Sunsets were beautiful and access to the sandbar and the main recreation area were easy to get to. The depth and the dock was at least 4' and we easily fit two boats at the dock, a 21' ski boat and 15' fishing boat. The kitchen was well stocked and having the Blackstone grill available was a nice surprise. The kids enjoyed having their own space in the bunkhouse. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Quick weekend family trip

We booked this location to celebrate family birthdays. The pictures are super accurate of the house. The bunk house was a separate place attached to the garage. It was unbelievably spacious and perfect for kids to have their own space while only being 5 steps away. The main house was very comfortable with lots of sitting areas and new beds. Kitchen was fully stocked and the outdoor area was great: bonfire area with seats. Patio furniture. 2 nice docks to tie your boat up to. The launch is literally right next door. Very convenient but not very busy. Josh was super helpful in preparing us for the arrival and was very responsive to texts. I talked with him for 10 minutes the day before check in. I knew then we found a great place with an owner who thought about every aspect renters would want/need. We loved our stay and would definitely consider returning!
