Stuck in the past
THERE IS NO WIFI!!! The host says that there is wifi and it's just bad but not a single person, nor the TV that lives there was able to even connect to the wifi. There were no other cabins occupied so this is the full extent of the wifi. The host says that there are no providers that can service the area but that's just a lie, it's 2025 and there are options like starlink that can give good wifi in remote areas, not that this is even that remote. Thankfully everyone had full bars of service on AT&T, lending even more credence to it not being impossible to have wifi.The whole place was very old and had the smell of your grandparents house that is just a little mildewy. There were dead bugs littering the house and plenty more alive ones bugging us the whole weekend. Beds and furniture were about as firm as sleeping on the carpet. Furniture was very cheap. For this price this house should at least have toilet paper, soap, trash bags, and a lighter for the grill.This has been the most disappointing VRBO experience I've ever had. I will not be returning and will try to discourage anyone under the age of 65 from going

Great space
This is our second time staying here. It had everything we needed for our group and plenty of space to spread out. Showering took some time as the water pressure was not good in any of the bathrooms, but we managed.

About our stay...
Staying at Serenity Bay was fun, but there were a few things...guests staying in the downstairs bedroom were cold. Maybe providing a space heater would be helpful. The hot tub was a nice feature, but it felt more like a "warm" tub. The beds were not very comfortable...maybe upgrade mattresses (or mattress pads). The ping-pong table was definitely a hit!!

Solid place for a large group
I hosted my brother’s bachelor party here for a weekend, and everyone was very pleased overall. It is not a particularly new or clean place, true to its rural WI setting, but it is perfectly suited to a group and has great communal spaces both indoor and outdoor. Note that this is a BARE BONES place, you have to bring many of your own essentials. Be very thoughtful/planful! We thought we had everything but forgot some kind of utensil to clean dishes with. Lastly, note that there is not really internet access here. And depending on your wireless provider there may or may not be service.

Other than the fact that we came in the blizzard of Jan. 2024, this place was perfect for us. It had more than ample space for 11 people to sleep. The hot tub was an added bonus for a few of our group. One slept next to the fireplace on our last night. The only downside we had, and thats no fault of anyone but mother nature, was it can be difficult to find on the backroads of Tomah in a snow storm. They did a great job keeping us plowed out. Overall, we were all very happy with our stay and will be back!

Family time
We had a group of 9, including our adult children, significant others and our 2 year old Granddaughter. The spiral staircase was scary with a toddler. Bring your own baby gates. Everyone had room to spread out and join together. Perfect for our needs. The beds were ok but the mattresses could use an upgrade. The main floor furniture was a bit warn out and not the most comfortable, but it worked. Everything else was great.

Tomah rental
The house was roomy and set up well for a large group of people. The seating areas and decks were a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the outdoors. The place definitely needed a good deep cleaning. We had a wonderful time, but that being said, we’ve stayed at many places at this price with simple amenities like garbage bags included. The spring fed pond, is not a lake as described which I would also make more clear in the description. Swimming was not for the faint of heart. We had very warm days and the A/C did not keep up- it was a struggle to get it below 84 degrees.

BEST Vacation EVER!
Absolutely LOVED our stay! Property is beyond beautiful with plenty of space for my family. We all thought the turtles (which other people complained about) were cute and charming, and don’t snap at people. House was clean and we liked all the information notices posted about fishing, Wi-Fi, etc. We all decided that this is going to be our yearly family vacation destination. Thank you Terry for an awesome vacation:)

Awesome space
We were able to spend a fun week with our four adult children and their spouses or significant others in addition to four small grandchildren. There was enough space for everyone to have a good place to sleep, and enough indoor space that we could hang out together or separately, even on rainy days when we didn’t go out. There’s lots of porch and table space outside as well as chairs for around the fire pit, chairs by the beach, and space on the dock on a quiet lake. Loved our time there.

what you need to knoww
clean charge what a rip off all they do is change the sheets. Beach okay across the lake when piics. showed right out the back door where we could see the beach. Water slim, snapping turtles all over no one can swim in the lake. We paid for this convience and did't get it. Railing ready to fall off no internet even though it said there was.

Beautiful location
This is my first time to stay at a self cleaning location. Beautiful location and Mr. Terry is very kind and helpful. If coming make sure you pack supplies needed! Many of us have allergies and a couple asthma. Mr. Terry sent staff to handle a couple issues we had with cleaning. Make sure you inform him quickly so he can start that process if there is an issue.

We enjoyed the house and the location very much however, we had some complaints that we did address to the owner. Nothing was absolutely terrible but the were legit complaints. When I addressed them to the owner I received basically an apology but nothing more.

Beautiful Spacious Getaway/ Owners were excellent hosts
For the nightly rate and quality of the the property, this place was an amazing find! Our group had 11 people for a quiet bachelorette party. We mostly hung out at the cabin around the fire and enjoyed the hot tub. Enough rooms and bathrooms for our entire party. I was personally impressed with the water heater. Nine people of our group needed to shower before heading out for dinner plans and no one was left without hot water. I was the last of our group to shower and the hot water was still going strong! One more personal detail that I was impressed with was the level of communication from the owner Terry. My family had experienced a few unexpected life events to which I (the person who booked my party’s stay) would not be able to check-in. I was concerned there would be an issue, but there was none. I was able to communicate with Terry right away and they were very understanding. Their response time was impeccable. It was comforting to know that the owners/hosts were reachable at anytime. The place is beautiful. The property is so peaceful and spacious. The rate is seriously unbeatable. The hosts were so fantastic with their level of communication and transparency. I would absolutely recommend staying here and I will absolutely stay again! Thanks Terry and Co! -Lisa 11/13/22 to 11/15/22

Plenty of room for a family gathering. Lots of space for relaxing both outdoors (we couldn’t utilize this area because it rained all weekend), and indoor. Didn’t use the hot tub, but it looked fine. The ping pong table was fun.

spacious, yet rundown
Property was nice and offered plenty to do. It is a little run down and was not super clean in kitchen we found dirty silverware in drawer. The mouse that was out on countertops and sink each night pooping all around the sink area was an unsettling feeling while on a mini vacation. We had to move food and sanitize everything each morning. The lower cupboards were very filthy and that was where they keep the clean cookware. Hot Tub looked to have black mold on inside of cover. We spent most of our time outside which was nice, but we would need the inside to improve a bit in order for us to return.

The Name Fits!
The property was everything we were looking for and more! This was a girl's weekend, with 3 of us. We each had a level to ourselves (bed and bathroom). An absolutely gorgeous setting. The name of the house is Serenity and it certainly is a perfect description of our stay. We'll definitely be coming back, and recommending it to all of our friends and family! There are 4 other cabin/houses all on a secluded little lake. It was frozen for our stay in March, but still serene.
