We also have walking paths you can take down into our creek. It will take your breath away because it looks like its from Canada. It sort of is. When the glacier moved through this area it deposited the seeds of the Canadian Hemlock trees. These trees grow naturally along our creek. It is something to see if you are able to walk there. It is probably a 15 minute walk down to the creek or you can drive down the road and get closer. Directions will be in the house in the Welcome Notebook. It is a down hill walk to the creek. The area has mowed paths. We have 2 ponds you will pass on your way to the creek. Many people have enjoyed the walk.

Perfect weekend getaway

This is our fifth year, I believe, staying at Serenity Hill. I have given 5 star reviews each year. Ken and Andrea are super easy to communicate with and have honestly thought of everything to make their home perfect for vacations. The house and grounds are always in pristine conditions. We love it here and will continue to book here.

Perfect place for family or large group

This home has great spaces for spreading out for several families. Our group included several families and young children, and the two levels are great for spending time together. The favorite spot was the deck with the gorgeous view and the constant breeze. Andrea was very helpful when things were needed and for helping plan some activities also.

Family weekend

Breathtaking views! This property was perfect for our large family with varying ages from 1-60+. The house was clean, welcoming and had plenty of space for everyone. The kids enjoyed the toys and childrens books, the adults enjoyed outdoor games on the lawn, pool table and especially the views of rolling hills with pastures dotted with horses and cows. Very relaxing!

This beautiful home and countryside was perfect for our big family. There was nothing missing to make our family’s vacation complete. The guys had golfing close by. The grill was extra nice for us to enjoy meals outside on the spacious back porch. Not one negative comment from any of the family. We hope to do it again. Highly recommend!

Such a wonderful setting!

Our family including 8 adults and 7 kids had a wonderful stay at Serenity Hill. Our hosts were excellent communicators and the house was beautiful, so well equipped and clean. We loved the deck. Our view of the valley from the deck was great and we all enjoyed watching the horses in the adjacent pasture. There is a lovely hike to a shallow creek that the kids enjoyed playing in. There is also plenty to see and do close by. The kids enjoyed horse rides provided by a local Amish girl. All in all a fabulous destination! Highly recommend..

Perfect for our Family Get-Together

Serenity Hill was amazing for our family get-together. We especially loved spending time on the spacious deck eating our meals, playing games together and just relaxing and enjoying the peaceful view. The fire pit area was great for an evening of s’mores, corn hole and chasing lightening bugs. The layout of the house offered plenty of space for our family to gather without feeling on top of each other. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen was well-stocked and everything was clearly labeled, which made it easy to prepare meals for our large group. Our hosts were very attentive and even went out of their way to help us when the wind swept our toy airplane into the horse field. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Andrea Hostetler

Host profile image
We have lived here for 28 years raising our family and a herd of horses. We have opened our home to many people who have needed a chance to restore their lives. My husband and I live across from the house in an apartment my husband built in the pole barn. Everyone here on the hill gets along and visits with each other often. Our Amish neighbors are excited to be able to help you feel comfortable here in Amish Country. They are available to cook for you or the neighbor girl will be glad to show you around the farm.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property when we were fostering 2 other children besides our own. When we saw the view we couldn't pass up purchasing this land. We love this quiet and peaceful area so we set up our home here.

What makes this property unique

Our land includes part of the Doughty Creek. When you go to the creek it looks like you are in a different state. The large rocks are covered with ferns as the creek is gently flowing over the rocks. The views from the deck are breath taking. A local Amish man is leasing our barn and fields from us. You will see horses and cows grazing in the fields. You will also see people coming and going as they feed the animals.
