This place was perfect. The grounds were manicured like a golf course and the rental was spotless and beautifully decorated. The outdoor seating was plentiful and each spot gave you a different perspective of the property. Close enough to town for a quick run, but so secluded. Can't wait to stay again.

Winter get-a-way

Family members (4 adults and 2 children) spent 4 days in a very comfortable cabin away from our homes, no work, no stress. The cabin had a well equipped kitchen and even bunk beds for the kids. A great place to just spend some time.

We just finished our annual girls weekend and absolutely loved Serenity Valley. The pictures are great but the place itself is even better. Beautiful outdoor space. Lots to do. Hope to do it again next year.

Perfect getaway

Loved the property and home. Very welcoming and so much to offer. The only downside was the smell of either a hog farm near by or the manure that the farmers spread in the field.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 November 2023
So sorry the country air was not very “fresh”! We always have a couple days in the fall when the neighbors clean out their manure pits and the wind carries it our direction. Unfortunately, your weekend was pretty noxious. That’s the price we pay for country living. Glad you still enjoyed your weekend despite the smell.

Lovely oasis

What a wonderful property. Stayed here with our friends and three small children. Lovely decorations for Christmas. The kids loved petting the cat and dog on the property. The beds were fairly comfortable and the space was nice and roomy. Overall would recommend!

Beautiful

Our stay at Serenity Valley was everything we were looking for. Beautiful scenery, landscaping, and accommodations. The living space provides enough room for comfortable conversations. The kitchen allowed for the preparation of simple and also gourmet meals. The 3 separate bedrooms and baths provide the privacy needed. Highly recommend this home for any nature loving group.

quick stay

Love, Love, Love this house! Needed a place for Luther College graduation and so thankful it was available! We didn't want to leave. The grounds were amazing, everything was clean and their animals made our stay so fun! I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. It was well worth the 20 min drive to Decorah.

Perfect Spot for Relaxing

The property owners were very friendly. It was perfect for the kids to play and have fun and the parents to relax. I would say it is best to bring all food with you as restaurants are about 20 minutes away. When you get there you won't want to leave anyways.

Beautiful Location

Serenity Valley is as advertised. Beautiful and serene. Located in a rural area, but, beautifully landscaped with ponds, fishing piers, and an outdoor fire pit. It offers a very comfortable stay for 6 adults giving each their own bed and bath facilities. The kitchen area is small but, easily accommodated cooking a meal or two during our stay. We highly recommend a stay at Serenity Valley.

Quiet and Relaxing

The three days spent at Serenity Valley were wonderful. Just what 6 senior college friends needed for relaxing and reminiscing. The beautiful grounds, the fishing ponds and the fire pit area provided excellent gathering spots for stories to be told and laughter following! This home is one of the best the area provides.
