We hope you enjoy Serenity Now Cottage as much as we do—it’s a beautiful, peaceful retreat tucked away from the noise of cities and highways, right in the heart of Michigan on Narrow Lake in Springport.

Narrow Lake spans 93 acres—large enough for boating, jet skiing, water skiing, kayaking, and canoeing—yet calm and peaceful. The no-wake Narrows is especially serene, perfect for fishing or spotting wildlife, including bass, perch, herons, swans, eagles, and more.

Enjoy the beautiful lake and nature views from the cottage’s many expansive windows, or step out onto the large deck with your morning coffee or a favorite evening beverage to watch the sunset. For a cozy end to the day, relax lakeside under the covered seating with a warming fire in the nearby fire pit—one of our favorite ways to enjoy this peaceful retreat.

• 1 bedroom with a queen bed and dresser
