Photos and Description of the Frankston vacation house rental
4 Bedrooms + Library, 4 Baths (Sleeps 9-10)

Relax at our beautiful new lake home with expansive yard on a private peninsula in Cobb Cove, Lake Palestine. Enjoy napping in the hammock, reading on the covered deck or downstairs porch, or taking a walk through the private neighborhood. Great fishing is available from your own private pier and the sunrise is breathtaking.

Our recommendation - particularly in fall, winter and spring: prepare a feast with the whole family and then settle in around the gas fireplace or out on the deck with the cool evening air and bright stars above.

*CHECK CALENDAR for AVAILABILITY*

The house is a perfect romantic retreat for a couple needing some time together. 3400 square feet of heated and cooled space is perfect for the family getaway or a small retreat.

Quiet vacation

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Aug 13, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
We had a very nice mini-family reunion at Serenity. The house is very nice and was stocked with all the odds and ends that we found ourselves needing throughout the 4 days we were there. The inlet was very quiet, we barely heard any boats the entire time, only catching the occasional fishing boat trawling around. Someone decided that the neighboring dock needed to be disassembled while we were there, and the workers carried on into the night (we think their van got stuck trying to pull out an over-filled trailer) but nothing to ding the owners about. There aren't a whole lot of bathroom doors in the house, and the toilets are almost in the closets of the master suites (big spacious closets!), but there's plenty of space for modesty as well.
The kids liked the kayak, thanks for allowing us to use it!
