My wife and I visited serenity by the lake and loved every bit of the place. Leah was an incredible host, she was very helpful and welcoming and provided us with everything we needed and more. The amenities were great and were available for us to use throughout our stay, especially the kayaks which were so much fun given the great weather. The view was amazing and the place was very clean. The best part of the trip were the ducks that came to our door every morning and made everyday feel like a peaceful serene escape. Would definitely come back next summer!
