Stayed with my family in July, we were 15 total. House was everything that was stated and more. Mike did state we would like the place, he was wrong. WE ALL LOVED IT. Felt like we were home. The pictures and the description were exact. Mike was very helpful in finding the right place for myself and familes stay. I am very appreciative for that and we were only a short distance from the falls, Thank you once again.

Owner response:We're always happy to hear back from our guests but especially when we've exceeded their expectations. Great to hear back from you and perhaps next time we'll see you at one of our other homes. Cheers!

Great House; Great Location

The Serenity Retreat was ideal for our family get together of 14. The location was excellent for the different interests in our party- close to shopping, casinos, dinner theatre, falls attractions, etc. The house is beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home and it was nice we could relax all together as a group after being out all day. The Owner was very helpful in making our vacation memorable and stressfree. We will definately be back!

"Excellent home from home!" Serenity Retreat was an immaculate high end retreat with all of the comforts of home and more. Very conveniently located for Niagara falls and Niagara on the Lake at a very reasonable price. Couldnt have asked for more!

Beautiful house that can be used for 2 family

Guest: canada10 (Edison, NJ, USA)
Date of Stay: 06/26/10 Review Submitted: 07/14/10

We rented this house for a total of 12 of us, we had 6 kids and 6 adults, which included the grand parents. This house was actually bigger for us, we had an extra bedroom that was just left empty, so I would say, it can occupy more than 12 people. House is so beautiful from inside, and so huge, the kids were like let's just move into this house. House is bi-level, with a kitchen and laundry on each floor, so 2 families can actually leave without being on each other's way, and cook different things if need be. The owner has made sure of every little thing that a family might need to make their stay more pleasurable, and comfortable as it was their own house. The house had a barbecue, toys for the little kids to play with, all the stuff needed for a little baby. When I say all the stuff, meaning, a crib, a big stroller, an umbrella stroller, and more... So, if you are bringing a baby with you, leave your stuff home, you will get everything in the house. Kitchen had all the appliances that we needed during our stay, and the dishes were enough for the large group, so I would say, this house is a luxury, and I would contact Mike again when ever we go back to Canada. Actually, I have given his contact info to all my relatives, and asked them to rent from him, since the house was so beautiful, and very reasonable price wise.

Awesome excursion

Date of Stay: 05/15/10 Review Submitted: 05/18/10

Our 13 members of 4 families enjoyed a lot with the stay and spacious rooms. All things were well arranged and equipped. The price was excellent. Kids could played video game we braught with the big LCD TV in the living room. The location was only 5 minutes away from Niagara falls. It was an awesome experience to us. I highly recommend this house to people who are planning group family excursions.

The house overall was good. It was wonderful to have space to spread out with another family. The place was nicely furnished. There are a couple of minor issues in the house that could use repair.

Owner response:Great to hear from you and that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for bringing out attention to the repair. We've since had it fixed. Hope to see you again in Niagara soon! Mike

Vacation Getaway for Eight

Guest: Ireland Getaway (Kingston Ontario Canada)
Date of Stay: 09/01/09 Review Submitted: 09/14/09

On September 1st and 2nd 2009 we had the pleasure of picking up relatives from Ireland at the airport in Toronto and spending two nights at Serenity House in Niagara Falls. The house was fabulous with plenty of space for all. The location just 10 minutes from the Falls was perfect. The agency provided good customer service checking that everything was okay on check-in and calling the morning of departure. We would strongly recommend this property. Walt & Sharleen

Owner response:This home is truely a pleasure to offer to our guests from abroad and throughout North American as well. Comfort has never been so affordable and it's location can't be beat. Minutes from shopping, the Falls, groceries and attractions. Great for extended familes or immediate family who enjoy a little extra space than what can be provided in a traditional accommodation.

Plenty of space with everything you need!

Date of Stay: 05/01/09 Review Submitted: 05/04/09

Great property with everything eight women could possibly want or need and enough space for all to have our own beds. The beds and linen were top quality and the house is situated in a quiet subdivision close to the Falls. Mike bent over backwards for us and we couldn't have appreciated it more.

Owner response:It was our pleasure to have you spend your holidays at our Serenity Retreat home. With over 2500 sqft of living space this home offers room to stretch out for both small and large families. Perhaps next time you'd be interested in having girls spa party. This is a great property to reconnect with close friends or family. See you next time! Mike

3 Generations Family Reunion

Guest: Kate V (Chicago, IL USA)
Date of Stay: 08/16/08 Review Submitted: 08/26/08

Serenity Retreat is very suitable for a week-long family reunion with seven (not six) bedrooms, two kitchens, and two laundries located on two levels. The well-equipped kitchen and outdoor gas grill made preparation of meals easy and fun. The spacious floor plan and proximity to Niagara Falls, Marineland and other nearby sights enhanced our visit. The owner and his staff were very helpful and accessible throughout our stay and provided extra equipment, two high chairs and collapsible cribs, for our youngest family members. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay thanks to this well-maintained property.

Owner response: We're always pleased to hear from recent guests and their exeriences at our homes. We often hear from families like yours that this house has an abundance of space which is suitable for extended families. Additionally guests often comment that there's no compromises with this home and that you get all the modern amenities and comforts one would expect from an executive type stay and a very affordable rate. Spending your holiday at the Serenity Retreat is sure to create great family memories for years to come!

Very nice house

Guest: Kim9768 (Newtown Square, PA, USA)
Date of Stay: 07/11/08 Review Submitted: 07/25/08

The house was large, comfortable and clean. We had three families stay 5 nights comfortably. Well stocked as far as towels, linens and kitchen items. The owner was friendly and very helpful. The yard was a nice size and the deck off the upper level kitchen allowed for 4+ people to enjoy coffee in the morning or a drink together in the evening. When sharing the nightly cost, the price was very reasonable. The property was 5 minutes max. from the main thoroughfare that takes you directly into the Clifton Hill tourist district and the Falls. The Falls are no more than 15 minutes away. There is a grocery store within 10 minutes and a convenience store around the corner. There are many restaurants on the strip between the house and the Falls. There's a one car garage and driveway space for 2 additional vehicles. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay close to the tourist area but who enjoys the comfort of home.

A True Re-"Treat"

Guest: Group Travelers (Philadelphia, Pa, USA)
Date of Stay: 07/04/08 Review Submitted: 07/20/08

The accommodations in Serenity Retreat were more than optimal. The bedrooms rooms were spacious, clean, and delightfully decorated. Surprisingly, there were enough bedrooms for four couples and their children... and still one entire bedroom was not used. The common rooms were wonderful places to gather for entertainment, games, and having fun. The two kitchens were clean, and both were fully equipped with the latest appliances, which made cooking arrangements that much easier. The location was just minutes from all of the major attractions, as well as minutes from the local supermarkets, shopping plazas (Target) and Outlet stores. Plenty of restaurants with a myriad of cuisines located nearby to choose from. The neighborhood was safe and quiet -- a welcoming break from the chaos and busy-ness of motels and hotels. It was definitely a place I would highly recommend to any family or group!

Owner response:The comfort and conveniences found here are unmatched and the layout of the home provides that perfect setting for extended families and friends. Treat yourself and your family or friends to this "Treat" of a home. Booking 6 to 12 months early is recommended if you're travel dates are not flexible. See you at the Serenity Re"treat"!
