And enjoy the many pine and custom accents that make you realize you are in the wilderness among mother nature's finest treasures! Enjoy the view through the many custom windows that will make you feel like you are outdoors with the warmth and coziness of still being inside!

From outside, enjoy catching fish that most people only read about, that will leave memories in your children's hearts, as well as your own, not to mention, the deer you see... the porcupines, cardinals, blue jays, raccoons, hawks, owls, fox, beaver, otters, bald eagles or any other numerous wildlife that those who are dedicated to find will! ***Calendar is displayed but please contact owner for current availability!!

And when there are 3 nights available between other families or groups staying. Please inquire if you have any questions! Thank you!

***Rates that are listed are beginning rates during the 'Off-season'. Please contact owner for questions.

VERY IMPORTANT!! Because VRBO's format does not allow an accurate break-down of the rates for the on-season, off-season, weeknights, weekends and weekly's-ALL RATES ARE APPROX. Often times, we can offer a better rate than what is depicted as when additional guests are added, it can come out with quite a difference in the rate. So, please contact us for the exact amount depending on your dates, number of guests and which home you would like. IN MOST CASES, IT WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER THAN WHAT the rates will compute through VRBO/in some cases, it will be more. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The rates for additional guests is obviously more during the "On-season" but VRBO does not have an option for this. Also, for a weekly rental, the 20% offered, does not include the additional guests so the rate you will be quoted will be quite a bit higher than it actually is. Please contact us and we can let you know exactly what the rate is (not including VRBO's fee).

Great Hideaway
Beautiful scenery and such a quiet little area. Went during the week days and i believe there might have been another couple staying there at a different cabin but never saw or heard them. The place had everything we needed, the hot tub was my high light after bouncing around in side by side all day. Would recommend to anyone and the hosts were super sweet. Thanks guys.

Perfect getaway
The Cottages on Serenity Lake were perfect for our family! Bear’s Den is a rustic looking cabin with all the modern amenities. We enjoyed the wooded privacy it has to offer along with the lake right at our back door. The hot tub was definitely a bonus as well as the fire pit. Brian was extremely accommodating. He took time out of his day, not only to explain to us, but actually guide us to some local fishing holes. Although it turned out that the best fishing was right out the back door. This cottage is highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxing, peaceful getaway!
