Advertised as a family vacation home-private location off a dirt road with easy access.
House in desperate need for a property manager!!! Everything needed TLC and repair. Furniture outdated and dirty.
Grills broken, seats on kayat broken, life vests and outdoor cushions full of mold etc..
Extremely muggy in the house and fans had dust from 1950s..
No washer/dryer or clothes line for wet clothing
Owner was sent a very detailed list of problems with photos and no gestures made to adjust the price.
Lake access was amazing however limited swimming due to the weeds.
We made the best of the situation however we were quite disappointed for the price!

Truly a piece of Serenity
Our family had such a great time unplugged at Serenity Cottage. The owners supplied all the basic essentials needed and the view is unmatched. Our dog loved the steps straight into the lake, and the kayaks amd canoe that were there provided great family time and entertainment on the lake. We spent mornings fishing and afternoons swimming in the quiet cove. It truly was peaceful. And the Way-co Ice cream shop is a must. Thank you Lawsons for the memories and sharing your home with us.

Location is Perfect!
Location is Perfect! House is set in a quiet wooded area. We brought our Kayaks and were able to use the ones left at the house too. It was our first time Kayaking and the lake was a great place to start. House has everything you need in it. We brought our pop-up for the deck and it fit very well. Kitchen has all that is needed for your convenience. My husband and I slept upstairs on the queen bed and slept better then at home. We would have our coffee out on the deck in the morning and dinner out there also. It was a memorable family vacation for all of us! We would definitely love to stay here again!

Everything we expected and more!
Our family loved the cottage and the lake. It was so cozy and made precious memories. Our family loved kayaking all around the lake, fishing (even though we didn't catch anything) and watching our 13 month grand-daughter splashing in the lake.

Relaxing, peaceful place to enjoy time away with family.
This was the second year in a row that my family stayed here. The lake is beautiful. We enjoyed the kayaks and relaxing on the large deck that overlooks the lake. Peaceful and secluded. We did some fishing but didn't catch anything this year. Our grandchildren loved playing in the water right off the lower deck as well as our dogs!

Beautiful, relaxing & fun all rolled into one!
My husband, kids and grandchildren came here for a four day vacation and what a great time! The lake is beautiful and peaceful. The view from the deck is very nice. The emenities were sufficient with spacious rooms and lots of windows! We enjoyed the lake by using the two kayaks that are supplied and we also brought down several floatation devices. A few of us did some fishing and caught several. A good time was had by all and we plan to do this again next year!

Rough start, great finish
The place is nice and the owners were extremely nice also. We somehow never received an e mail from Flip Key to let us know the critical arrival information. Once we got it resolved, we got into the house, got settled, and loved out trip. House is off the beaten path, about an hour to most things we went to do. Very quiet, which was great for us, but if you are looking for a lively area, this is not the place.

Serenity says it all
My wife and I rented Serenity Cove Cottage for one week to have some quality time with our children, their spouses, and grandchildren. The property exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival, we found the the cottage to be very clean, instructions on how to get settled in were very clear, and everything we needed to relax and recreate was provided (including a Keurig Coffee Machine).
This is a family friendly property, and the cove is isolated from the lake's mainstream boating traffic making the location perfect for swimming and kayaking,. We all had a great time fishing - everyone caught something using "nightcrawlers," which can be bought at the bait shop in Wayland. We all enjoyed going for ice cream at "Way-Co Ice Cream Island" in Wayland. Most of all we enjoyed the peace and quiet, and the view of the lake from the upper and lower decks.
Our family had a wonderful time, and our only regret was not being able to stay longer. We are looking forward to staying again in the fall and spring.
