Relaxation Retreat
My spouse and I stayed with our dogs for a long weekend. It was quiet, clean and John was very communicative with any questions. We also enjoyed the use of the dog run so we could avoid chasing furry babes who may have wanted to wander into the woods. The house is not far from so many must-see northern towns and attractions. We hiked and ventured out most days without feeling like we were driving all over Northern Michigan. We hope to bring our family back for a stay in the future. It felt like home away from home. Highly recommend!

They had it so set up for pet friendly it was amazing! So clean and updated and the comfort made everything so much easier to not have any stress.

Family Ski weekend & stay at Serenity
Serenity was the perfect place to stay for myself and two teen boys who enjoy the outdoors. We skied Crystal mountain during the day and enjoyed walking up and ending down in the quiet peaceful woods surrounding this property. On our way out of town we stopped at Platte River Point Beach for scenic hike along Lake Michigan where we discovered some beautiful stone picking where the Platte River flows into the lake. We stopped in Copemish for brunch at the Copenmish Kitchen & Coffee. A true mom, pop & kids run kitchen. No frills just good quality ingredients with homemade love. We love supporting small local businesses ❤️💯. #grateful

Oh my! What an amazing property hidden back in the woods with deer visiting at dusk and early morning! While this property isn't huge, it is cozy and is beautiful! It also has THE best appointed kitchens I've ever come across at a rental. It made cooking Christmas Eve dinner a breeze. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again without hesitation when I'm up North again!

We really enjoyed our stay here it’s very pretty in the fall time with all the colors. It’s close to some fun areas to explore such as Esch beach, lake platte beach at sunset so pretty, sleeping bear sand dunes, Glen arbor (cherry republic), town of empire (chocolate store), and some cute places in honor Michigan such as the pizza diner. Also, we enjoyed fishing on platter river for some salmon and trout. Overall, peaceful setting and very clean house. Thank you for allowing us to stay here we enjoyed it.

Peaceful, pretty, and secluded
Lovely property - tons of fall color and very quiet and secluded. We loved that we could get away from the world after a day of sightseeing. It was a nice area to walk our dog. Very nice cottage with tons of helpful furnishings and supplies. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking gadgets, and there were tons of towels and bed linens. The bathroom was roomy and the king-sized bed was welcome! The wifi was reliable and very fast. Highly recommended!

Private escape
Serenity Woods is just that. Serenity in the woods. Wonderfully quiet and secluded, we really enjoyed our weekend in the woods. My wife commented that it was very cute and cozy and just right for our two night stay. And I concur. It had everything that we needed for the weekend, including a comfortable king size bed, a nice sized bathroom as well as a nice living room and kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay at Serenity Woods and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

When looking for properties to rent, we came across this property and thought it looked real nice. This was the first property that we rented that the in person impression was better than the pictures showed. Online it looked real nice but to be there in person, it truly was great. On top of that the property manager was very nice to deal with. Overall great experience

Serenity Now!
So happy we found "Serenity in the Woods". The location is secluded and yet it is so close to downtown Beulah, restaurants (Cherry Hut), breweries and Crystal Lake. (We brought our boat and enjoyed a few days on beautiful Crystal Lake). One day we rented kayaks just a few miles away and had a nice paddle on the Platte. And we also brought our bikes and had a nice bike ride down the Betsie Valley Trailway from Beulah-Alberta-Frankfort. The home is fully equipped and had everything we needed for our stay; plenty of bath towels and extra blankets. The yard is nice and we took advantage of the corn hole game and enjoyed fires on the patio, and games (Racko and Farkle) at the kitchen table. The home was perfect for our family. It met all our expectations. We hope to be back next year!

Serenity had everything we needed. All amenities were available and considered. Great location minutes from beautiful beaches and parks including Platte River Pointe park, which we absolutely love! Very clean and beautiful on the inside and out. If we had one concern, could use some window coverings in the living room/kitchen. The natural light and giant windows are fantastic. But at night would have liked even some sheer curtain. Otherwise, perfect place to relax!! Thank you!
