Stunning views and an amazing family gathering
We absolutely loved our stay on Serenity Lake. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of room and outdoor space. Wonderful lake for fishing and swimming. Saw deer, turtles, snakes, and rabbits. Very private. Enjoyed a soak in the hot tub. Brian was a great host.

Family reunion
Had a reunion with most of our children. It was a very nice relaxing time. My husband and I loved watching all the kids and grandkids enjoy the lake, swimming, kayaking, etc. right from the front porch. we had perfect weather. Fishing was ok, didn’t catch many though. The lake was smaller than we expected but still great for canoeing, kayaking, etc. it was nice that they had the water toys (kayakes, splash pad, canoes, etc, available for us to rent. My grandkids loved seeing the snacks!

Weekend at Tall Pines Lodge
We had a family graduation out in Wisconsin and I needed a place to fit our kids and grandkids! Was so happy to find this cute place on the lake with plenty of room for everyone to sleep! Everyone enjoyed the space, using the hot tub and the beautiful view! I liked that no one else could get into the property as it was gated. We so wish we could have stayed longer! Our host were amazing and Brian was reachable by text if we had any questions! Would love to come stay longer in the future!

Family Christmas
Hatfield was a central location for three generations to meet and celebrate Christmas. Brian was very accommodating; the home was decorated for Christmas including a tree. The hiking trail around the lake was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your snake collection and for the wonderful conversation.

North Woods Getaway
The quiet and serene feel of this property is what it's all about. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming and using the float pad. Using the firepit and grill made this whole experience one of being outdoors. The set up with the double bunks in the basement meant our whole family had sleeping space.

Yearly Family Trip
We had a very nice time at the property. Brian was very attentive to our needs and inquiries. There were 12 adults and 7 kids that stayed and we had more than enough room. The fishing was very fun for the kids and the property is close to a beach for tubing and skiing.

Peaceful and tranquil
The kids loved swimming and fishing and the hot tub. The house was amazing with so much room we did not feel crowded at all. The only thing that would have made it the perfect place is the yard isn't as big and with a lot of stumps it was hard for the kids to do run around. The kids also loved the snake exhibit.

Great experience
Great place to stay! Dining table was a bit sticky and the table in the garage had some sort of animal hair on it. Seemed like dog hair of some sort but we cleaned it off so no biggie. Kids loved the swimming and couldn't stay out of it. The lock to the back Is broken but we pushed the couched to block it to feel safe. Wifi was not the greatest for us and phone service didn't go well but I guess it's good to be away from our smartphones once on awhile. Brian came to the house quite a bit to check up on things and his snake collection was awesome! Out of all, it was an awesome weekend that I wouldn't mind doing again. Thanks Brian for all your patience and help!
