Quiet Country Retreat w/ Horses & Spa Services – Near Hocking Hills
Old Country Quiet – A Retreat You'll Never Forget
Peaceful Farmstay Near Hocking Hills | Horses • Spa Services • Wi-Fi
Unplug from the chaos and reconnect with what matters most at this peaceful countryside escape nestled in the heart of Vinton County, Ohio. Welcome to The Daadi House at Serenity Acres Homestead—a cozy Amish-built home on a working horse farm just minutes from McArthur and a short drive from Hocking Hills, Zaleski State Forest, and Lake Hope.
Surrounded by rolling hills, quiet mornings, and the occasional soft nicker from a nearby pasture, this is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to breathe.
What Makes This Stay Special:
Access to the barns, arena, horses, and trails
Spa-style services: Relax with Reiki, massage, or even Equine Reiki therapy

3 Bedrooms (sleeps up to 6 comfortably)
Full bathroom
Spacious kitchen with modern appliances
Cozy living area with oversized couch and vintage charm

On the Farm:
Guests are welcome to enjoy the public barn spaces, riding arena, and our 3/8-mile horse track. You’re invited to meet and greet our quiet therapy horses and sit on the Facility’s front porch to enjoy the rhythm of farm life.
Please note: For your safety and the horses’ comfort, pastures are off-limits.
We’re happy to arrange an equine therapy session or a gentle guided encounter for individuals or families—just ask.

About the host
Hosted by Jacqueline Downard
After years of prayer, hard work, and deep listening to where God was leading us, we stepped out in faith to begin a Christ-centered life of hospitality, stewardship, and service. Serenity Acres was born from that calling. And where we’re headed? We hope to grow into a gathering place for healing, rest, and joyful connection—hosting not just vacationers, but also therapeutic programs, seasonal celebrations, and a place for the weary to feel at home. We like being a host for all those reasons.
Why they chose this property
Nestled in the peaceful countryside just outside McArthur, Ohio, Serenity Acres is more than a destination—it’s a way of life. Surrounded by rolling hills, quiet woods, and tranquil ponds, our homestead offers a breath of fresh air and a return to simplicity. We are located just minutes from the scenic beauty of Hocking Hills, yet far enough removed to offer true stillness, privacy, and the gentle pace of rural living.
What we love most about our neighborhood is the sense of community, the star-filled skies, and the peaceful rhythm of nature all around us. Here, you’ll wake up to birdsong, see deer grazing in the early morning, and fall asleep to the sound of frogs by the pond. It’s a place where families slow down, couples reconnect, and visitors become friends.

What makes this property unique
What sets Serenity Acres apart is our heart. This land was once a traditional Amish homestead, and we’ve worked to preserve its rustic charm while thoughtfully adding modern comforts. From the quiet of the pond banks to the option of a hearty Amish-style meal prepared right on-site, everything here is crafted with care. Whether you're casting a fishing line, reading by the fire, or watching the sunset over the fields, the peace of this place is something you’ll carry with you long after you leave.
