The property was adequately equiped with all the comforts of home. We very much enjoyed the mountain view from the side porch every day having our coffee in the morning and sunsets at night. Communication with the owner was excellent and check in went smoothly. We make the trip to Murphy/Brasstown twice a year and will definitely book again!

Wonderful stay in Serenity house

Everything was quite comfy. Loved the view from the large windows which overlooked the mountains, enjoyed sitting out on the porch to reflect and listen to the sounds of nature and slept peacefully in the comfortable beds provided.

Our favorite cabin!

This is our “go to” place when me and my Bestie want a relaxing long weekend away from everything. It’s always clean, comfortable, easy to access (with a garage!), and Heidi is wonderful to work with if anything comes up. We highly recommend Serenity!

Beautiful place, more than we expected The pictures dont do it justice. Deer came through grazing in the mornings and evenings. Beautiful views, and the location was perfect, just far enough away from town for peace and quiet. Neighbors are friendly...perfect getaway

Very quiet community, if you like wildlife, plenty of deer, birds singing. Great place to take a walk, a lot of hills. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen with all amenities. My favorite was the large deck with comfortable chairs.
