Just what we were looking for
There was plenty of room. It would be perfect for a family reunion. Brian checked on us to make sure everything was ok or to ask if we needed anything. We are a couple in our 70’s and had another couple about the same age and 2 couples in their 60’s. We toured the area and played games. Did not use the hot tub because it rained most of the time. The only problem we had was getting in the gate. Not easy for old fingers ( a combination lock with numbers you had to roll) and no light after dark.

Girls get away
Private get away, lots of beds and nice big dining room table. Hot tub was a nice relaxing option. Downside was that we had issues with WiFi, good communication by owner to try fixing it but he still couldn’t get it (and cell signal was spotty). There was also a few spiders and webs in the basement bathroom that could’ve been removed.

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.
