Serena was an absolutely perfect spot for a relaxing getaway! Just as promised. Very comfortable beds. Beautiful view from the private deck. Cosy fireplace, well appointed kitchen. Lots of streaming options on TV. Speedy wifi. Loved the bath accompaniments (body wash and shampoos). Board games to play was a nice touch. Perfect location near the lake and close to town. Just wonderful! Highly recommended.

Great location, great accommodation!

We had a wonderful time at Serena, which is in a perfect location - just up the road from the lake and a short walk into town. Comfy beds, plenty of room and a lovely view of the trees from the balcony. Would definitely recommend!
