Main level features a living room with a propane fireplace, built in wooden shelving and skylights. The open plan format transitions into the dining room space which has a long wooden table with chairs and wooden bench, and then transitions into the kitchen breakfast area and finally into the kitchen which has access to the private deck area with a grill. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located down the hall from the living room. The kitchen is well stocked with all you would need to cook a wonderful meal- Equipped with a dishwasher, toaster, microwave and basic cookware. The appliances have all been recently changed. The kitchen also features a cut out that looks out into the dining area so even if you are in the kitchen you are still close to your family and friends.

The downstairs is accessible through a walk in from outside as well as through a door in the main hallway leading to a carpeted staircase. There is a second living area with a couch, a second propane fireplace, small dedicated entryway area to kick off your shoes, a utility closet for laundry and two additional private guest rooms.

The unique wood accents, stained glass windows and skylights found throughout the home provide a charming ambiance. We provide Wifi and there is a television in the living room. All rooms on the main level have skylights.

The property features a wooden swing, two decks, a porch and driveway with ability to fit up to 5 cars. It is located on a quiet street and is the last house with no thru traffic. The ultimate quiet escape.

Guest access
You will have access to our entire house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 separate living spaces and 2 additional guest rooms with a deck on over an acre of land. It can comfortably sleep 10 people (children 2 years of age and under do not count in this total). There is a swing and garage on the property as well. The garage may or may not be usable during your stay as we use it for any projects we have in progress.

Please note that the propane for the BBQ is the luck of the draw. The tank will be there but we do not monitor to make sure it is full. You can easily swap it out at multiple places very close to the house.

-TV: The main Television in the living room is a Smart TV. We DO NOT have cable.
-Board Games: In the living room, to the left of TV and fireplace in the bottom bookshelf, there are a variety of games. Please make sure to put the games back in their appropriate boxes and back inside the closet when done.
-Toys and play mat- You can find a variety of toddler, small children's toys and a play mat in the closet located in the living room. We ask that you put them back after use.
-Pay it Forward Home: We will provide the bare necessities (paper towels, hand and dish soap, some cleaning products, salt pepper toilet paper, garbage bags, etc). We are operating on the principle of our guests choosing to “Pay it forward” meaning if you have any items (NON PERISHABLES) that you think future guests would be able to use, that you can leave them behind. Please do not leave opened food items behind.
-Linens/Towels- We provide linens, 2 towels per room are provided and hot tub towels are provided. You are also provided with pillows and comforters for all the beds. Please bring your additional towels if you believe you will need more than what we provide. If you do use our towels, please leave them in the hamper by the washer/dryer.
-Washer/Dryer- Feel free to use the washer and dryer at your own disposal. Please make sure to empty out the lint filter prior to each dryer cycle to prevent the risk of a fire.
-Fireplace- Please make sure to never leave a fire unattended. Both fireplaces operate on propane only. Do not throw any logs, matches or anything else into the fireplace.

As the home is part of a community, please follow the rules and regulations of Indian Mountain Lake Community!

Perfect even with rain
This was our third annual vacation at this lovely home. Even with chilly, rainy weather, the vacation was great. With enough space for children and adults to relax and enjoy alone or as a family, coming together at the large dining room table to have dinner as a family is simply a perfect balance! Looking forward to next year!

Awesome Thanksgiving Family Reunion!!
My family had a wonderful stay at Julia’s house!! The house is very nice, clean and the accommodations were excellent, we each had our own bedrooms, kitchen space was great, had plenty of room to prepare our feast for Thanksgiving, plus dining room table was perfect! We saw lots of deer, which the kids all loved! From the time of booking to the end of our stay, Julia was very responsive! Recommend Serene Escape for a great time! Arnette

Decent place
This property could be vert nice. I feel it needs owner attention. While it waa fine things need to be updated thete is not a mattress in house that is even somewhat confortable they are like sleeping on a box spring. The couches in basement are totally warn out you have zero cushin. The lot needs to be cleaned up the leaves are inches deep never picked up from last fall. The grass by the kids play set is over a foot high and there is tradh from past people scattered about. Cleaning inside could be better. Kitchen and bath were fine but cobwebs in most corners of each room. Light bulbs burned out inside. Its ok but could be so much more.

Awesome family vacation
This is the second time that we've stayed at this lovely mountain get-away. The entire family loves it! We visited the nearby town of Jim Thorpe to and tour the prison then visited an amazing local butterfly exhibit. We also went to the local state park lake beach and both community pools. We spent lots of time hanging around the house and everyone, including the children, had fun relaxing at this idyllic getaway. We can't wait for next summer! It makes it even more wonderful that Julia is so very responsive!

Marvelous family vacation experience!
The property is beautiful and very maintained. There's something for everyone. The dining room table allows for big family meals and the bedrooms and sitting rooms on two floors allowed for enough privacy.
