The house is really cozy and cool concept. The separate game room was really awesome, we were a group of 8 adults and enjoyed the stay. I will say make sure you wear house shoes or grippy socks because some of floor is very slippery. Overall would definitely recommend staying here!

Farm house

Great location. Close to springs, boat ramps, and grocery store. Loved the fire pit and game room is a great plus, would just recommend rugs or something to keep it from echoing. Beds were very comfortable.

Spacious and super cute and accommodating

We initially had an issue with pricing that we felt should have been handled differently between the host and VRBO. The property itself definitely has a farmhouse feel and was very acaccomodating-other than the coffee maker. With 7 adults in the house, it took a long time to make coffee for everyone. That was the only recommendation that we had was to upgrade to a normal sized coffee maker. The game room was a huge hit as we had 5 kids and 7 adults. There is so much to do to entertain everyone. We wish we would have had more time to enjoy all that the house had to offer. We were in town for the weekend only, attending a memorial service. Our stay was short and sweet and we were thankful to have found something to accommodate so many people.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us again. It’s worth noting that during your previous stay you found the property very clean and enjoyable as well. Serenity Farmhouse is professionally cleaned after every turnover and receives pest control treatment twice monthly. While the property is located in a natural wooded setting, we continuously take preventative measures to keep the home comfortable and enjoyable for our guests. We do wish we had been informed during your stay, as we would have gladly addressed the matter immediately. We will also be reinforcing our preventative measures even further moving forward. Thank you again for your comments.
