We've been coming back to this house several times a year for the last few years and it is always fabulous. We've come in every season and the house has always been perfect. And Bobbie and Mitch are the best hosts - they've been incredibly responsive to any small issues we've had (which are rare indeed!).

Thank you for your review. We do try very hard to maintain our property. We are battling stink bugs about a week in the spring and a week in the fall. Thanks again.

We had an exceptional time staying in Serenity on Craigs creek. My son caught minows and crawdads. My husband caught large mouth bass. My family enjoyed kayaking up and down the creek. We burned a fire and roasted marshmallows underneath the beautiful stars. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. It felt like a home away from home with amazing views of the creek. The host is very friendly! We plan on staying in the summer to inner tube down the creek. It’s very rural so I’m glad I listened to the host and packed enough food for our stay. You will need rain boots or water shoes to explore the creek. Grilling was not an issue. You can use their gas grill or use their charcoal grill. I even brought our two small dogs along and what was even more impressive they had furniture covers for guest to use if needed. The place is very well maintained.

This property is aptly named, Serenity. It’s quiet, peaceful and secluded; exactly what we were looking for! We enjoyed kayaking down the creek, fishing and looking for lizards and turtles. I spend many hours sitting in the quiet of nature reading books. It is an excellent property if you are looking to get away for a few days!

This is the perfect getaway. Relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Everything was on one level, even the creek had stairs and handrails for easy and safe access. Very clean and well furnished.
