This place is an absolute gem. The kitchen is so stocked with spices and cooking stuff. The beds are super comfy and clean. The bathroom is huge and spotless. The location is so private and wooded. Everything is ideal. It's a short drive to the lighthouse for amazing sunsets, to the dunes for hiking and sight seeing. 10/10 recommend.

This property was perfect for our long weekend. The cabin was exceptionally clean with all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes, pots, pans, utensils etc that we needed to cook all our meals. It was cold and rainy outside one day to warrant trying the fireplace, which warmed the cabin up in no time. Extremely pleased with our stay and looking forward to coming back!

My husband and I booked our reservation at Serenity Woods Cottage to celebrate our anniversary, my husband’s impending retirement and my recent clean scan after treatment for breast cancer. We were hoping for a serene, peaceful opportunity to decompress and recenter our lives after a tumultuous year. We could not have found a more perfect place than SWC. It was everything we hoped for and so much more. The cottage was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It contained every item and convenience we could possibly imagine. It is situated in an area that provides for many beautiful and interesting excursions while, at the same time, offers complete tranquility in the cottage itself. We, honestly, could not have dreamed up anything more perfect. Our sincere thanks to our host, John, and everyone associated with our stay at Serenity Woods Cottage.
