Serenity on the lake

Really enjoyed our stay. Nice property and nice area. My hunch though is the owner wasn't terribly unhappy about us leaving

Quiet on the lake

Very clean and quiet place to stay. Kitchen was nicely set up and separate dining room for 4. Comfy beds. Stairs to upper bedroom were steep so not good for kids.

A time to reflect

My husband, best friend and I rented this lovely cottage for two days. It was my first time renting on Vrbo- we were so pleased. The cottage was adorable and Tracey was a wonderful host. From the tastefully decorated cottage to the snacks and welcome card. I would highly recommend staying here.

Long weekend stay

This place is a gem! Tracey is very communicative and helpful, it's very clean, and has everything that we needed. I especially liked the view, the front patio and bluff furniture, the Netflix, and the comfortable bedding. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. We would return here. The only negative experience was road construction blocking the quickest way to get to Colchester Beach and Garfield's, but that is no fault of the host. I think it's supposed to wrap up mid-summer of 2024.

Serenity Now!

Serenity at the Lake is just as described. Peaceful, beautiful, serene, and lovely. Enjoyed my week away from the city at this lovely gem on Lake Erie. The cottage has everything you need & more. Clean, comfortable, cozy, and the views are magnificent. Tracey was a great owner to deal with. Klies Beach community is quiet, safe, and so friendly. Thank you for helping me relax, rest, and restore some peace in my life. I'll miss the sunsets & bonfires under the stars!

Wonderful

Tracey's cottage was the perfect place to spend a beautiful weekend with my family, the cottage has a fantastic view, it was clean and tidy, beautifully decorated and felt so cozy (beds were very comfortable). Tracey was a kind and thoughtful host going above and beyond in making my mother's birthday special, we are so grateful! Thanks Tracey!

About the host

Hosted by Tracey

Host profile image
I am a single mother who enjoys travelling and the peacefulness of the outdoors. I love sitting watching and listening to the waves at this place, my home away from home. I have wanted to own a place on the water for years and my dream has finally come true. I call this my piece of heaven and I look forward to hosting you so you can enjoy it as well.

Why they chose this property

I love the view from the bluff. You can hear the waves and feel like you are far away from home, although for me I am not that far. It is my home away from home where I have found so much peace.
