Hi Jennifer, thank you for allowing us to host you. So happy you enjoyed your stay. Should you plan to revisit the area, we would welcome you back at Peace and Serenity!
Best, the Homeowners
This place was beautiful and quiet. All the way back in the woods. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the huge porch and watched the deer come up the driveway. The house/rooms were super clean and the porch was dog friendly, we could keep the gates closed and he could be off leash out there with us, without getting loose. We came to the area for a wedding so we didn’t go anywhere nearby for fun. Plenty of things to do at the cabin too (hot tub, corn hole, puzzles, etc). Just wedding events for us and back to the cabin. We would definitely stay again!

House was absolutely gorgeous. Antiques everywhere. Loved the wrap around porch. Two couples of senior citizens and we loved the porch swings and single level of the house. Loved the way everything was furnished. Wish the entrance was not quite as steep and the step down into den. Our toy poodle loved it too. Hope we can come again.
The cabin was beautiful. It's bigger than it appeared on line. There was so much room. The kitchen was huge and well equiped. Huge pennisula, beautiful cooper sink and gorgeous granite counter tops
There's a separate dinning room and huge living area. There's a porch around whole cabin w/amazing views including a little water falls. Very quiet setting well off a main road. Would love to stay again!!
The property was beautiful. I love that wraparound porch it had gates to close the entrances so my dog cannot get off the porch, it was fantastic. The Internet was hit or miss but we really didn’t care either way. We did find two dead scorpions but I mean they were dead. overall we enjoyed our stay and we will definitely stay again!

Thank you, Crystal!
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Porches were constructed with pets in mind.
I appreciate your review and will always try to make things better for our guests.
Thanks!
We really enjoyed our stay, house was very nice, clean and had all that we needed, towels, cookware etc.. It has a nice big open yard, the wrap around porch worked out well for the dogs, gave them room to roam. The only down side is we were in town for a wedding which meant suits and dresses and there's no closets, not even an armoire to hang them in. There are a few hooks in a hallway away from the bedrooms. We couldn't get the floodlights to come on which would have been nice to light up the yard and there's no access to a breaker panel to check breakers, which would be good in the event any got tripped, like the well pump. A heads up, when you come in there's no sign or address number posted directing you to which driveway to take and the driveway is crushed rock and goes down into a steep ravine and back up with several large ruts, depending on your vehicle and weather this may be an issue.
The house had plenty of room for everyone to find their own space to hang out. Huge kitchen, great wrap around porch and comfy sofas! Beds were wonderful, esp the one in master. Our only disappointment was the "gated yard". We interpreted that as a fenced area for the dogs, but it referred to the gated porch. We had hoped for a fenced area for the dogs to "take care of their business" without having to walk them on leashes in the chilly mornings.
Enjoyed our stay immensely! The kids and dogs didn’t want to leave. Cabin is super spacious, private and clean. Owners were very accommodating and kind. Looking forward to returning annually. Thank you!
