This property is aptly named, Serenity. Itâs quiet, peaceful and secluded; exactly what we were looking for! We enjoyed kayaking down the creek, fishing and looking for lizards and turtles. I spend many hours sitting in the quiet of nature reading books. It is an excellent property if you are looking to get away for a few days!
This is the perfect getaway. Relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Everything was on one level, even the creek had stairs and handrails for easy and safe access. Very clean and well furnished. The owners are very responsive with ckear instructions prior to our arrival. Highly recommend. We will definitely be returning.
We have stayed here multiple times. The house and area are beautiful. We enjoyed the kayaks and the hot tub. Definitely bring plenty of groceries. Make sure to visit roaring run furnace for a beautiful hike!
Serenity is the BEST! We come here a few times a year for a getaway weekend. The hosts are thoughtful and kind, and the house is perfect for 4 lifelong friends to renew and reconnect. The creek is beautiful in all seasons, and the house has everything we need.
Beautiful location. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts were very quick to respond to questions and needs before and during our stay. Kitchen is well equipped for most cooking needs. We used the gas and charcoal grills, both are well maintained. Perfect for a quiet getaway away from it all.
Spent a long July 4th holday weekend with my family of 5. The place was wonderful! Our super busy family enjoyed being able to relax, kayak and spend time together.
We couldn't be happier with our fourth stay with these wonderful hosts! Great fun at the creek and in the spa and lots of nearby spots to relax, fish, picnic, hike and find serenity. Highly recommended.
Mitch and Bobby are the best. We stay here a few times a year because it us the oerfect place to get away with a small grouo of friends. Beautiful, private, and very well equipped. The creek is so peaceful, and the house is very comfortable! We love it.
This is pur 3rd time ar Serenity and it is truly peaceful and restorative. It's perfect for 4 lifelong friends who just need time and space to talk and laugh together.
We loved our winter getaway here! We had 6 adults and did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen to be well stocked. The property was very clean and organized, and communication with the hosts was excellent. We loved the hot tub overlooking the creek with a view of the mountains. We can't wait to go back in warmer weather!
Very Beautiful home. Very clean!! Scenery and privacy was amazing. Highly recommended!!!
Easy access to everything.. very spacious kitchen and living room area. Hope to come back in the summer!!
We absolutely LOVED the home and the view! There were 8 of us in the family spending Thanksgiving together and we had an amazing time and plenty of dpace along with everything we needed. The hot tub was a huge favorite! We even got to see some otters playinhplaying in the stream!
This was our second time here, and the house is absolutely perfect. Well-furnished, creek and firepit are both awesome, and the location can't be beat.
My husband and I came here right after our wedding in Charlottesville to spend a few days away with our dogs and unwind. Safe to say that our dogs would have preferred we move in! We really enjoyed our time here and took the kayaks out several times with our dogs swimming alongside us or racing on the banks of the creek. We also had plenty of time to unwind on the back porch and enjoy the complete silence and being away from it all.
The house was exactly as advertised and the hosts were immediately responsive to what ended up being a non-issue for maintenance concerns.
This is definitely on our list of places to return and is among the very best of homes weâve stayed at on VRBO and similar platforms.
We had a great time escaping with some kayaking on the creek and lounging on the patio furniture and in the hot tub.
Local hiking trails nearby offered another scenic escape for us and our dogs, but if you want to stay on the property for your trip, there is plenty of land for your dogs to explore and be free to roam.
Our last night we made grilled pizzas after soaking in the hot tub, then topped that off with with a sunset fire roasting marshmallows from a s'mores kit provided by the hosts.
Wifi measured about 200 mb/s upload/download, but be advised there is little to no cell reception outside of wifi.
It was exactly what we were looking for, and we highly recommend visiting.
Side note for beer drinkers: coming from the DC area, we stopped at Devils Backbone Brewing Co on the way (maybe an hour or so from the cabin).
Beautiful views, crisp air, enjoyable creek and plenty of great amenities hosted by a wonderful and attentive couple. It is Serenity, just as the name says.
We absolutely LOVED our first stay in the Virginia mountains! The house and property were absolutely perfect, and the area even more so. Thank you to the hosts for making it an unforgettable vacation. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to this area.
