Beautiful house with exquisite kitchen and sitting areas. Lots of kayaks/boards for the lake. Large deck and concrete patio with numerous chairs. A couple of suggestions: provide clothing hooks in baths and a safety bar for getting in and out of the tub. Would definitely stay again.

I had lived in this neighborhood 50 years ago. So this was a homecoming for me. My son who was with me enjoyed showing his children where he had visited his grandparents. The home is very inviting. The property is quiet and beautifully landscaped. Very much enjoyed our stay.
We had a group of women stay for a 50th birthday retreat weekend. This was exactly what we needed. Beach area by lake was a nice touch. Kitchen is fully stocked with most items you’d need to cook/grill. We felt right at home, and communication with homeowners is top notch. Fireworks in Sturgis was fantastic to watch on the deck. Would absolutely stay here again!

Dear Angie,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that Serendipity on Grey Lake was the perfect setting for your 50th birthday retreat—it sounds like such a fun and memorable weekend!
We’re glad you enjoyed the beach area, the fully stocked kitchen, and the fireworks show from the deck—what a great way to celebrate. It means a lot to hear that you felt right at home and found communication easy and helpful.
We would absolutely love to host your group again anytime you're looking for another relaxing getaway. Thanks again for choosing Serendipity!
Warmly,

Serendipity on Grey Lake
Beautiful house with multiple seating areas, and stocked with all your needs. Very modern kitchen and lower bath. Has large deck with large adjacent patio with plenty of seating. Used one of the several kayaks and board. Had 2 fires in the pit by the lake. Wonderful all around stay. One thing to note; the yard slopes down to the water so if you have walking issues you might stay on the deck/patio. I’m 78 and had no problems walking the incline multiple times a day. Would definitely stay again.

We also appreciate your kind note about the slope to the water—your feedback will help future guests know what to expect. We’re so glad you found it manageable and could enjoy everything the lakefront has to offer.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back to Serendipity on Grey Lake for another relaxing stay!

We stayed during an extremely hot week and spent most of time inside. The property had everything we needed. Impressive amount of towels, kitchen utensils and refrigerator space!
Watched the pair of swans and the juveniles stroll the lake along with the Canadian geese. Located just minutes from restaurants and grocery stores. A very relaxing place.
A great property with all the things you could ever need to have a fantastic time. Beds were comfortable and the bath rooms imaculate. We would definitely stay again.

The house was adorable with lots of cute areas to relax and enjoy. Bedrooms were very comfy.
It was a very clean house and perfect for family getaways. Close enough to grocery stores and fast food restaurants. The owners were very easy to work with, always available for questions and help when needed.

Dear Pam,
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and recognized the hard work of our dedicated care taker. It is important to us that all of your comforts are met.
Sincerely,
Ronnie and Shelly
We are so happy we found this home. Normally we book a year out for our summer vacation trip but we dropped the ball and didn’t book one until March of this year. Most of the nice huge homes were booked and then we found this gem. It’s large, (so many spaces to find our own nook to read, or just enjoy the view). We didn’t feel like we were on top of each other and the lake was so warm and clean. We would recommend this property, especially if you’re looking to stay with friends and family. The large dining room table and multiple living rooms and outdoor space was perfect.

Serendipity on Grey Lake
We all had a great time. Really enjoyed the house and all the amenities. The lakefront was very peaceful. Spent lots of time on the deck, patio and in the hot tub.
Serendipity is a welcoming, comfortable stay. From the fully appointed kitchen to the games and water toys, you can easily spend your days relaxing your way. We were greeted each day by amazing wildlife and treated to beautiful sunsets each evening. You will enjoy your time here.
We enjoyed our stay in very clean home on this peaceful lake. Had a bit of trouble with tv..internet and was eventually resolved. Enjoyed rowing a bit on the lake with my sister.
What a beautiful home and surroundings. We spent many hours enjoying the view and the abundant wildlife. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were communicative and wonderful. We also loved the town. The bookstore was very impressive! Make sure you stop in and take a look.
