• Amazing stay

  5/5

  My wife and 2 dogs stayed at Serenity Hill for 4 nights. We had a wonderful time. House is very well equipped with everything you can think of and the bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. The basement was a lot of fun to play pool/darts. There is a bar downstairs as well as a card table which is great. The host, Kathyn did an excellent job with communicating.

  Our dogs loved running around the fenced in yard and sunbathing on the deck. There is about a 5 foot opening from the deck to the patio area so I would a gate if you don't trust your dogs to wander. We had a fire almost every night and that is what we like to do when we go to the mountains. We enjoyed most meals on the large deck and drinking coffee while watching the bird feeders. That was a delight for my wife. We brought our binoculars to look out at the beautiful view and wildlife.

  We went to Sky Meadows, Delaphine for wineries and Bear Chase Brewery on the way back is stellar. We visited Harper's Ferry which was very interesting. We tried some fishing on the Shenandoah river, a mile from the house at the boat ramp. Went into Winchester to the walkable mall, took a trip Front Royal to get some of the delicious Cinamon Rolls and food from Vibrassa to eat as we drove home via the Skyline Drive to see the leaves.

  House is in proximity to a lot of great things to do. In the mountains everything is always a 20-30 min drive. In Millwood there is a great store to buy sandwiches, eclectic food items called Lockestore, I think. You will not be disappointed with this house. My wife adored the horse themed decorating and log cabin feel. The view, privacy and location can't be beat.

• WONDERFUL PROPERTY & TREMENDOUS HOSTESS

  5/5

  The property description and photographs are accurate, and the hostess, Kathryn, is tremendous! This is the second stay for my wife and I, our two adult children, my mother- and father-in-law, and our three Australian Shepherds. Although hot weather and frequent thunderstorms limited outdoor activities and excursions last summer, we had such a pleasant time relaxing and enjoying the property's indoor amenities that we decided to come back again this year. With fantastic weather the entire week (i.e., mild temperatures and no rain -- thank you, Kathryn), we were able to spend more time out on the deck enjoying the wildlife and mountain views, and we were able to visit local wineries, eateries, and shops. The property and location offered more than enough essentials, conveniences, and extras for us -- we never wanted for anything! Again next year...!?

• Beyond expectations

  5/5

  This property was amazing. As soon as we walked in it smelled so clean. Everything was there that we needed. The view is gorgeous. Communication was superb. Beds were so comfortable. The house was plenty big enough. We didn’t even venture into two of the main rooms. Definitely would use this property again if I was in the area

• Relaxing and Quiet

  5/5

  We stayed June 16-20 for a late Father's Day weekend. Our host was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to questions. Check with the host about the directions before you go because IPhone Maps and Google Maps were slightly off. The house was quiet, spacious, and clean with a well-stocked kitchen and wonderful views. For us, the best parts were the finished basement with the pool table, and the dog run. The basement was cool and carpeted, and our dogs enjoyed hanging out down there as much as we did. The dog run was large, grassy, and had shade - the pictures don't do it justice. It's so nice to go to a VRBO house and not have to worry about walking the dogs on leash. The dog run is very secure and attached to the deck with a large gate, but there is also a set of stairs off the deck (about 4-5 feet wide) going to the fire pit area that is not gated. So if you want to let dogs out to join you on the deck, you would need something to block the stairs off, if you are concerned they will run away. Overall, it was a quiet and relaxing stay. Our elderly parents also loved the comfortable chairs and first floor bedrooms. We will definitely come back!
