We welcome you to Serenity to share a family experience year after year. The waterfront holds a rich history with many returning guests from the 1940s thru the 1970s when this area was the home of the Somerville, MA, YMCA. Campers still return to the new and updated area to recollect the memories of their childhood and return to the area where their summer friendships commenced.

The tradition continues...Serenity is the idyllic location for families and friends to delight in the beauty of the lakes and mountains . The natural surroundings are outstanding for hiking, biking, and fishing. We welcome you to join us and discover how the contagious charm of Great East Lake will infuse you.

In 1972, the grounds were transformed by The Nugent family as they renovated each of the four cottages and transformed them into individual houses with kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas. The basketball/volleyball court was maintained and a boathouse was erected for social gatherings.  The boathouse is rich in activities including ping pong, pool, arts and crafts, movies, and card tables. The boathouse deck belies vistas of the lake best enjoyed at sunset.
