| We had a wonderful experience at Serendipity Lodge. Natasha and George were great hosts. The cottage is so cozy with so many areas to relax and have fun - from the airy screened-in room, to the ?Starbucks? chairs overlooking the beautiful lake, a snooker table and even a vintage PacMan Arcade game! The kids had so much fun swimming, canoeing and fishing! We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get closer to nature and enjoy quality time with family & friends.

| Our group book Serendipity Lodge for a Girls' Get Away May 2022. Immediately upon entering we are completely charmed by the cottage. It was the perfect blend of cozy comfort for our group. We loved discovering the little personal touches they left for us. The views from the cottage were lovely. The cottage itself is well appointed with plenty options in the kitchen and ample dishes and glassware. The beds were cozy and comfortable. Activity wise the cottage has something for everyone one of all ages. We appreciated the use of the complimentary park pass for our foray into Algonquin Park and the abundant watercraft available for our use on Lake St. Peter. Many of use got to experience paddle boarding for the first time and had a blast. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks and on the zen deck as well. The fire pit has ample comfortable seating for a large group. The hosts were accessible and responsive to our inquiries during our stay. Our group would not hesitate to return.

| We stayed at Serendipity Lodge for 2 weeks in late winter/early spring, and had a wonderful time. It's a big house, warm and welcoming, and we felt at home right away. The windows meant great views of birds, trees, and the snowy lake; the wood stoves kept it cozy inside. The kitchens had all the dishes/pots/pans we needed, and I think my wife probably spent an hour every day enjoying either the sauna or the Pac-Man arcade game! We loved the chance to visit Algonquin and Lake St. Peter parks, and more than anything just the opportunity to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. Natasha and George were helpful and went "above and beyond" to answer any questions we had.
