  • WOW!!! Not even sure where to start. "Serenity on Cedar" is just as the name implies. The vista is majestic. I spent a week with family & friends and as I write these nostalgia is setting in. We never wanted to leave. (we even thought about calling Carol to put in an offer on the cabin-LOL) If you have a large group or just the 2 of you, "Serenity on Cedar" is the place to stay. We can not wait to go back next year. Be sure to check out the beautiful hand made pottery they offer too. the prices are great for beautiful one of a kind peices of art. "Serenity on Cedar" will be in my families memories forever.

  • Serenity on Cedar was even better than we anticipated! Even the rain didn't stop us from relaxing and enjoying our week by the lake! Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us!

  • We were a party of ten people and we had an incredible time during our one week stay. The cabin surpassed all of our expectations. It is reminiscent of the kind of "dream home" which we would all imagine to own one day. This cabin is extremely remote and secluded on a lakefront hillside and there is virtually no sign of human kind when you look out over the magnificent green hills. The cabin has two outdoor decks overlooking the lake which have eating tables, bench swings and a hammock. If you're an early riser you can see the mist coming off of the water and hear the owls calling to one another. The cabin was immaculate and beautifully landscaped with colorful flowers abundant in the entryway and the internet access allowed us to check our emails and surf the net during our stay. Our teens loved the family barbeques, DVDs, board games, swimming, fishing and kayaking. On one day, we drove to see the nearby Biltmore Estate, and on another, we went shopping in nearby Cashiers...although it was difficult leaving such an extraordinary cabin. I would be truthful also in saying our hostess was very helpful and gracious and we will always treasure the time we spent there. Sarah Calcagno & Family

  • Serenity On Cedar is a great place to relax with family and friends. The photos on the website do not do the cabin or the scenery justice. You have to be there to appreciate how beautiful the cabin is; the mountains and lake are just picture perfect. The cabin is not only nicely decorated, but it is well equipped with kitchenware. There are also lots of games that you can play with your family when you want to stay indoors. The cabin is very close to the lake for easy access. The lake is barely occupied so you can feel safe to do any kind of water sports. Our family just could not have had a better time anywhere else! The Romagnolis and Zions

  • This home is truly a slice of heaven. We spent one week in mid- February and entertained family in from Atlanta. This home is very well equipped and the views and scenery are unmatched. What a totally relaxing week and we will return in late summer '07.Thanks again Carol and Ed.

  • The cabin was beautiful. It was so very clean and peaceful. The lake was beautiful -to cold to get in but beautiful to look at. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area. We rode the polar express train while visiting. Overall a very nice relaxing trip. And the owners were so nice and helpful. Thanks.

  • If you love beauty and peace and quiet, you will not be disappointed. This cabin looks out on a gorgeous lake with beautiful deck views on 2 levels. We were there for 4 days and only saw 2 boats go by. AND we couldn't see any houses until we went out on those great kayaks and the canoe - absolutely blissful. We finally saw a few houses as we rowed, but they were high above us. We were there with longtime friends and felt no need to go to the nearby restaurants, which had great reviews. There are two kitchens and a grill, much more than we needed. We can't wait to come back.

  • Serenity on Cedar could not be more perfectly named. This was a beautiful, completely comfortable cabin in a peaceful setting with a gorgeous view. The owner has provided a well-equipped vacation home in a lovely corner of the NC mountains. The lake is such a relaxing place for swimming, boating, and fishing. The web site provides an absolutely accurate description. Peace, comfort, beauty, and rest are all available at this beautiful home -- and if you get restless, there's local shopping for the ladies and golf for the guys.

  • "Serenity on Cedar" is a great place for a family vacation or to get away from it all. Carol has supplied everything you will need from the boats, well supplied kitchen, games for the kids and adults, life vest and cushions for the boats, not to mention the hammock! You feel like you are the only ones living on the lake. We took the boats and found three diffenet water falls, cuaght fish off the dock and in the boats. I caught rainbow trout in the Tuckasegee River. You are 15 miles from both Sylva and Cashiers for shopping and great resturants. My family of 7 had a great vacation and hope to return to "Serenity on Cedar". Thank You Carol for sharing your cabin.

    Today is Ed's birthday and we could not have found a better place to spend it than right here at "Serenity on Cedar". I had either forgotten or possibly never heard what it is like to experience stillness, calmness, quiet time like we have here. "Serenity" is a perfect way to describe the feeling that we experienced. I loved waking up and seeing the fog over the mountains cross the lake. We watched the wind blow across the water and enjoyed the sounds of the water running down the creekbed beside of the cabin. For several years I have wanted to spend a weekend away in a log cabin in the mountains, but the opportunity never presented itself until now. This has been a wonderful place and time beyond what I had imagined. Normally when we travel, we drive around and check out all the local sites. Staying here at Serenity on Cedar leaves me with no desire to look any place further. There just cannot possibly be anything better or more to see than is right here. We thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.
