Beautiful View

My family and I had a great time staying here. My mom and Dad loved the view of the lake. The space was perfect for our family. The kids loved the pool table and ping pong table . There was plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy each other's company but also enough room for the kids and adults to do their own things. We loved the location and everything about this property.

Extended Family Fun!

This property was perfect for our group! We were 3 families with children in ages ranging from 1-20. There was so much space for everyone to have their own bed and so many activities that no one got bored! The amenities were simply awesome and we enjoyed swimming off the dock, kayaking, and paddle boating. We also made extensive use of the charcoal grills and well stocked kitchen. We had an amazing family weekend and would definitely come back again.

2019 Annual Thanksgiving Holiday Week Vacation

The Property and grounds were very clean and stocked with plenty of dishes and linens for our weeklong stay. The Property is Breathtaking with views and access of Beautiful Grand Lake on either side of the Property. We had 9 adults and 5 children who stayed each day and night at the property. We also had plenty of room for local family to stop by each day to visit and to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us...

The perfect getaway for all ages

Our family loves Grand Serendipity. This well-appointed home and guesthouse has plenty of space for sleeping and everything you could want for entertaining kids and grownups alike. You could spend a whole day just gazing at the fascinating artwork and sculptures and exploring all this property has to offer, but save time to swim off the dock and paddle around the cove, or throw in a fishing line. We loved ending our day watching the gorgeous sunset from the patio with a million-dollar view of the lake, and toasting marshmallows around the fire pit. This place has it all.

Annual Lake Trip

The house worked perfect for our group of 10 adults and 11 kids ranging from 3 months to 18 years. The upstairs room was perfect for the kids to hang out in! It was clean, roomy along with a nice patio. I was disappointed in the distance from house to dock when we first got there but it wasn't that bad after seeing some of the other stairs people had to theirs, lol!! We usually stay in individual cabins and have to walk to a marina, it was nice having our own dock to hang out on.

We love this place and will book for our third time as soon as slots are open for next summer. Tons of room, everyone gets their own bathroom. They stock the showers with shampoo and soap, there are 2 sets of washers and dryers, fully stocked kitchen. Would love a little more TLC for outdoor patio furniture as the view is awesome but we don’t spend much time there. Shawna is awesome to work with.

Hunting / Thanksgiving Annual Holiday Week Vacation

We made wonderful memories with our immediate and extended family. We shared many meals and played card games around the dining room table several of the nights during our 9 night stay. Our group consisted of my husband and myself our 2 grown children and their spouses plus we had our 5 grandchildren in our group from 5 years old to 13 years plus my 76 year old Dad. The men and our grandson deer hunted at our nearby hunting property mornings and evenings and we had local family over for Thanksgiving Day. We had a great time and are looking forward to our next stay at Grand Serendipity :)

Our Favorite place

WOW We were there with our children and grandchildren. It was perfect for all 21 of from 4 different states us to gather. Weather could have been better, but that was the nice part about it. With the ping pong table, pool table and the large table for eating, cards, and dominoes we were entertained the entire time. Our friends the ground squirrels, a herd of deer (5), and the Cardinals visited us daily. Can't say enough good things about this place. They literally have everything you need and more. Would recommend it to anyone. Shawna was great to work with and was there if we needed anything. Thanks for all the great memories and pictures.

Never gets old...such a wonderful, peaceful place tucked away but with stunning lake views

We've been staying at this property (sometimes a couple of weeks a year) for several years now. It's always a great experience. The houses are very well appointed and have all the amenities you could need, rain or shine. The boat dock is perfect for a variety of watercraft, fishing, or just floating in the cove. They even have a collection of kayaks and other floating toys for those that don't have their own. The management is extremely helpful, accommodating, and always a pleasure to deal with...always. I have not yet had a bad experience here, even under some really bad flooding conditions in previous years. They seem to always have something new and have done a great job of keeping the property maintained through the years. During our last stay, we were even blessed with multiple Bald Eagle sightings FROM THE PATIO! How cool is that!?!?
