Tim and Lois are wonderful, attentive hosts. The property is lovely, clean, and well maintained. Located in a quiet area on the lake, it's still nota long drive to everything you could want to do or see. This is our second stay at a Serenity cabin, and wontbe our last!

My family had a great time at this cabin. It's just a short walk to Patoka Lake and close to numerous boat ramps. We loved how secluded it was, but not far from a store to get supplies you may need. Tim was a great host and very welcoming! We will be back again!!

Tim (host) was very friendly and helpful, the nicest guy you will ever meet. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was absolutely perfect for us and our dogs. Has everything you could possibly need. Peaceful, beautiful scenery. Wonderful screened in porch to sit on the rocking chairs for our morning coffee. Would re- visit and also recommend to others.

The name of the cabin says it all. (SERENITY) If you want a quiet place to spend time and get away from it all this is it. Tim was a great host.

We loved the cabin. The bed not so much. Basic TV and it cut in and out. Only could use our phones outside of the cabin. It was definitely a nice and clean place. And the owner is super nice and friendly.

We had a short 3 night stay but I was fabulous! The owner was very polite and welcoming. He also gave us our privacy. The cabin is stocked with pretty much everything you need except food and personables. This made packing so easy. Ver clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

This was our second visit this year. Already want to go back. Lovely property and beautiful area. Two things to note: 1. The bed is a full size bed as advertised. 2. There is no Wi-Fi.

This property is wonderful! The pictures on line don't do it justice it is so cute and very clean! A grill outside if you would like to grill, bring your charcoal and a fire pit area with wood provided. You can take the path down to the lake and enjoy floating on a tube swimming or just sitting watching the water, it is like a small private beach! The owners of the property are very nice and were very helpful with anything we needed. We plan to use this cabin again for our little getaways!! Great place!!
