Perfect getaway
Loved the property and home. Very welcoming and so much to offer. The only downside was the smell of either a hog farm near by or the manure that the farmers spread in the field.

Beautiful accommodations...Beyond expectations
The property is beautiful, relaxing and met all of our needs. The whole place is decorated beautifully and with high-end finishes. Beds were cozy and comfortable. The fire pit area seats several people and is a great plus when you want to sit outside and enjoy star gazing. The two resident dogs greeted us most times we arrived back to the house. Fluffy, the cat, was so cute and very entertaining to watch when we were outdoors. 😄 We'll go back again, if we're in town with a group. The owners made check-in and checkout a breeze and were available if we needed anything. 10 stars!!!!

Quiet and Relaxing
The three days spent at Serenity Valley were wonderful. Just what 6 senior college friends needed for relaxing and reminiscing. The beautiful grounds, the fishing ponds and the fire pit area provided excellent gathering spots for stories to be told and laughter following! This home is one of the best the area provides.

Perfect place to get away
This place has got a little for everyone. If you want to be outside or inside. It has great amenities for either. The pictures look amazing and yet still somehow don't do the place justice! The owners were super friendly! More than willing to leave us be, but if we initiated a conversation, more than willing to have a great chat. If/when we make another trip to the area, we most certainly will be back!!

Perfect Spot for Relaxing
The property owners were very friendly. It was perfect for the kids to play and have fun and the parents to relax. I would say it is best to bring all food with you as restaurants are about 20 minutes away. When you get there you won't want to leave anyways.

Winter get-a-way
Family members (4 adults and 2 children) spent 4 days in a very comfortable cabin away from our homes, no work, no stress. The cabin had a well equipped kitchen and even bunk beds for the kids. A great place to just spend some time.
