Though VRBO attempted to create complete chaos this morning by LYING to our guests and telling them that we cancelled all their reservations and tried to bully several of them into not receiving their full refund, we have been able to adjust to every one's reservation and (so far!), everyone has been promised their full refunds (sadly with at least a few making multiple calls to VRBO!).

Thank you to all our guests who had to be informed this morning that they had lost their vacation rental with us (another lie!), causing anyone to panic. Thank you for your patience and understanding and know, that you will not have to deal with that again!

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and is enjoying the summer!

Here is a testimony from Nikki, who actually started this entire mess:

"I want to start off by saying that every member of our party was impressed and commented on the cleanliness of the cabin. The location is beautiful. We have all been friends for 20 years and have made a point in recent years to designate a weekend to spend with just the 4 of us and have some deep belly laughs, making a tradition out of it. The location and scenery of Serenity Lake was ideal. We saw 2 snakes: a pine snake and a bull snake. Never have I seen snakes that size in the wild — and we watched one skate across the lake! Kayaking, we saw a fawn and doe by the shore — magical. That evening, another doe walked up to us (past the deck) when we were all at the fire. We just froze and watched her before she scurried off. My friends were enamored with the 2 ducks. On the last day the mallard was without its mate, and we are hopeful it turned up and they are tootling around again going from cabin to cabin to say 'hi."

Notice- Several years ago, we found that Airbnb was stealing funds from our guests. After refusing to refund the guests and correct the practice, we terminated services with them.

VRBO has displayed similar behavior and, after lying to guests and stealing from our company, we have decided to terminate services with VRBO as well. This is the second time we have had to do this.

In retaliation, VRBO decided to cancel all our guest's reservations and, from what our guests have been stating, was because the owner cancelled the reservation (lie!), we have sold the property (lie!) or that the property is "no longer available (lie!).

You can imagine the panic this created in some hosts who have guests coming from all over the country, especially with those who are only weeks from vacations they have planned for months.

We have had guests even inform us that VRBO was not refunding their entire deposit if their reservation is under 30 days because that is what their policy states. However, that is SUPPOSED TO BE when the guest cancels the reservation, not VRBO! I believe that they eventually did return everyone's deposit.

We have sent emails to all our guests who did book through VRBO and are honoring their reservations. Just give us a call and we will get your reservation processed.

Understand that when you book through a paid advertising site, they are usually very expensive and their fees have nothing to do with the quality of your visit. And both VRBO and Airbnb have a pattern of lying and stealing from the guests and/or the property management.

If you would like to look at vacation rentals, look for those that are FREE to the guest (the property owners pay an annual fee and you will not get caught up in having to follow the policies of multiple entities rather than just one!). There are several (including rentwisconsincabins.com), that are free for the consumer.

We apologize for the way you have been treated if you have booked through either organization and we caution you in doing any business with either one.

Please let us know if you have any questions and we hope everyone has a wonderful summer! www.cottagesonserenitylake.com

Here are a few photos of Serenity Lake, sent to us by our guests (and a couple of ours!).

We have all kinds of wildlife on the property including new born fawns.

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer! We still have a few dates available for the summer so give us a call or email us and we will follow up with you (avoid using paid advertising sites such as Airbnb and VRBO as they are both expensive and dishonest!).

Please let us know if you have any questions or to make a reservation! (800-997-9575 or email at: [email protected])
