From outside, enjoy catching fish that most people only read about, that will leave memories in your children's hearts, as well as your own, not to mention, the deer you see... the porcupines, cardinals, blue jays, raccoons, hawks, owls, fox, beaver, otters, bald eagles or any other numerous wildlife that those who are dedicated to find will!
Pheasant Cottage is a 2-bedroom/1-bathroom custom home on a small, private lake and has its' own private entrance and the front gate stays locked at all times with only our guests and your guests having the access information making them even more private! Each home has it's own view, an out door hot tub (facing Serenity Lake!), your own fire pit and beach so you can swim and fish right from your cottage!! The bathroom is through the main bedroom. It has a double bed in the main bedroom, a double and a single bed in the second bedroom and a double futon in the living room and will have a double futon in the entry way for this on-season. (for some reason, it states that it has 6 beds in the heading. It has 4 (two double beds, a single bed and a double futon), not 6-we apologize for the confusion!)
We have kayak, canoe, paddle board, floating oasis and rowboat rentals available or you are welcome to bring your own.
If you rent for a 2-night stay and it includes a Friday or a Saturday, it is a weekend rate.

The rates for additional guests is obviously more during the "On-season" but VRBO does not have an option for this.

I stayed at Pheasant Cottage with my two dogs, and it was perfect. The view of the lake is beautiful, and the backyard is huge. The canoes are nearby, and the cottage is separated from the lodge so it feels secluded, even when the resort is fully booked. We'd love to come again!
Cute, secluded and very private location close to town. Super friendly owners with great communication. We loved the hot tub. A single mom and felt very safe with the extra security measures in place.
We enjoyed our cabin stay, but were disappointed with a couple items that were not in working order. The fishing wasn’t at all what were hoping for. The hot tub was nice and we did enjoy that. Overall it was good, but the cabin could use some updates. It was a fun area for trails with our SxS.
This location was beautiful and peaceful. It was a great weekend get away. Pricing is really good as well. My friend and I were able to go for a nice 2 mile walk and got to see wildlife along the way.
We enjoyed our time at the lake. The cabin was just like the pictures. The fishing was great. The owner lives onsite and was able to quickly address our needs. The listing stated laundry machines which there weren’t but he was able to let us use the laundry in the empty cabin-he changed the listing description after that. Cabin is close to Black River Falls and Hatfield for other adventures. Brian’s snake collection was also cool to see!
Exactly as presented. Cozy & comfortable, and we were glad to have a rental that would allow our dog.
You need to bring your own shampoo & soap, but that's a minor detail.
We look forward to staying again.
Great place. Very quiet and liked the security gate at the entrance. The cottage is cozy and comfortable . Enjoyed sitting out by the lake and being greeted by the ducks!
Cottage was very clean and well-stocked. It's a beautiful property. Private lake. Quiet. Very relaxing. Just what we were looking for in a girls' weekend!
The place was very pretty and quiet. Clean cabin. Not much room for trailer parking if bringing an ATV/UTV and with having to unlock gate we were partiality in the road with our trailer while unlocking gate. Hot tub was nice. Close to Hatfield which as fuel, food and great access to the trails.
We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the private setting and the distance between the cabins. Hopefully our dogs we not to loud when we are out. Easy to get to ATV trails. If we come back ATV riding again to the area we would definitely stay here again.
Stayed for a weekend with my friend and my dog and what a great last minute find. The property was beautiful, spacious and felt very private- it's right on Serenity Lake and has a hot tub with a view! The cabin was cozy and clean with lots of windows and natural light, which I appreciate. (That being said, you might want to bring a face mask for sleeping if you're sensitive to light, as there is a flood light out back.) There is a trail you can meander through the woods around Serenity Lake if you're so inclined, and plenty of trails very nearby!
Would definitely return.
It was excellent experience. Me and my wife stayed the beautiful place for 8 nights. We fond new every day. Kayaking, fishing, hot tubing or enjoy the clear summer night sky - you name it.
This is a unique place to spend your summer vaction with privite lake, hot tube in norther wiscinsin.
Host Brian is very helpful, profesional and efficient.
We will be back definitely.
We stayed in Pheasant Cottage. Perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the beautiful setting Serenity Cottages offers. The natural surroundings support native plants and many wild animals. Loved the low key, relaxed atmosphere (except for the periodic dog barking from the neighboring dog daycare). Each cottage is in its own private setting. The lake is small allowing for the enjoyment of non motorized water activities. It was great to have a relatively dark sky (bright yard light was a distractor) to view the stars.
We have visited Serenity lake for Labor day and spent 3 nights there. The place is very quiet and relaxing. Lots of untouched nature. Great place for fishing .The cottage is nice and has everything you need. Brian the host is wonderful and friendly. He answered all of our questions and was very helpful. The hot tub in front of the cottage is wonderful for evening relaxation. We will be back in spring for sure. Worth the drive from Chicago if you need to get away and chill in peace and quiet. We already miss the place, specially two friendly ducks that would come out of the lake and hang out with us 😆 Highly recommend this awesome place!!

Extensive Rules & Procedures
The good: location close to ATV trails and nice view of the lake.
The frustrating: extensive rules. Upon booking, received communication to pay pet fees outside of VRBO. Also stumbled upon a large list of pet restrictions on their website, all associated with additional fees if they weren’t followed. Two days before check in, received another long email with additional restrictions and charges. Beware you will incur additional charges if you don’t lock the gate, put the trash or linens in the correct place, or splash water out of the hot tub.
All of the restrictions and fear of being charged left us on edge and not able to enjoy our stay.
Wow! What a beautiful, safe, clean and private stay. It was absolutely what we needed. Thank you for the check-ins ensuring if we needed anything, you were a text away!
