Wonderful location to Sardis lake-right across the street and down a short walkable trail. Host was constantly available by phone, but we really had everything we could need for a nice, quiet weekend. Enjoyed Sardis and Clayton lake while there. We will be back!
We loved the cabin. It was in a nice location with an excellent view. The owner was patience with us since we arrived later than planned. The cabin was spacious, and clean.

Wonderful place!! Quiet and very relaxing. Gary is the best host!! We will definitely be back!
We were looking for a quick getaway from the city and found it less than three hours away. Our expectations were met and exceeded by the accommodations. We would definitely recommend the facility and stay there again.
We love the cabin. Inside and out it is just right for the two of us. Sit out on the covered deck and listen to the pines as they whisper away your Dallas stress. Watch the evening turn to violet and reflect off the lake. You cant count the stars if you had a lifetime. Mr. Gary is nearby to help if you need him. Highly recommend!

The owner was very hospitable and helpful. The cabin was so cute and in the most beautiful setting. Had a view of Sardis Lake. Sardis Lake has a wonderful Nature trail very near the cabin. Robbers Cave State Park is just about 40 mins away and had really interesting hiking areas along with lots of activities. Cabin also very near Clayton Lake - also wonderful.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The location to the lake and cabin was very nice. I appreciated being able to keep our two small dogs for a reasonable price. The listing for RV and additional vehicle parking is incorrect however the host accommodated our 12 ft. A-liner with electric and three vehicles at an additional cost. The host lives on the property and keeps in continual contact.

It was more than I’d hoped for. We were looking for a nice quiet getaway in nature. The views were wonderful. So many stars at night. The cabin was very clean and had a perfect “mountain cabin “ feel with great attention to detail on amenities. Host Gary was friendly and very responsive. The VALUE of the experience is excellent.
As a single mom I have always tried to road-trip with my sons and build memories; this 3-day vacation at Sardis Serenity was amazing: Gary, the owner was cordial and helpful, made us feel at home. The activities we could do in the surrounding areas were a bonus as well! We are definitely going back!

Cozy Cabin
Had an excellent stay at this very cozy cabin. Excellent view and easy to find. The host Gary was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning!
My little mini vaca was for a visit with friends camping at Potato Hills. I just needed a nice place to sleep and make coffee in the morning. And it was perfect. But this cabin would be great for a couple or small little family to have a nice getaway from the busy world.
(If you are a light sleeper, it might be a good idea to bring a white noise machine to drown out the road noise during the night.)
Nice and clean, easy access, big covered porch for hanging outside, clean windows, view of lake better when leaves are off the trees. Comfortable furniture, nice deco but not over cutesy. On the quiet meter for us (we like silence) the little highway runs in front of the property with an average of 15 cars an hour. Not noisy but you know the cars are there and you are not completely on your own. Town is barely two miles across the damn and there are three or four restaurants, two grocery stores, several gas stations, a library, some banks, hardwear stores, convenience stores and churches.
Light cooking can be done with microwave, induction cooker (single hot plate), fridge, coffee maker, small toster oven, even a small portable charcoal grill outdoors. The grounds are very nice, lots of room to walk, swing, run and holler and be safe if you have kids.
Didn't meet the host but the house keeper "P" was very helpful and easy to get in touch with all in all a nice little place.

Cozy little cabin
Our stay was good. The cabin was cozy but could have used a bit of housekeeping. There was dust and spider webs throughout the cabin, the shower had lots of dead mosquitos and the bed was very hard. Make sure to bring plenty of food because there is one store with very limited options about 10 min away, everything else is 30 min+. The lakes nearby are not good for swimming. It was however, a very tranquil place to get away from the city for a few days.

Cute quiet cabin! Great view of lake!
Such a cute property. Quiet evenings and beautiful skies over lake views. The street is nearby, so you can hear some cars go by and you cross street to get to lake. Gary, property owner was so helpful and was around for any questions. Overall great stay.
Super nice cabin, Great Lake view. Fire pit and little extras made it a really nice stay. The information folder with emergency numbers and places to eat was nice to have. The extras like lawn chairs for kids, corn hole game, and swings were great. I rented this for family out of town. We will definitely be renting again.
Loved the cabin with its beautiful views and easy access from HGWY 43. Owner Gary was waiting to make sure we were good to go on arrival. Would recommend if needing a place to stay in the area and you don't feel like roughing it
