Beautiful Fall Colors

Fall is a wonderful time in the mountains, which are alive with color! Location is remote, but peaceful. The house was immaculate and so full of character. Have stayed here before and would definitely stay again.

Perfect Place for a Quiet Getaway

We loved everything about Serenity. The house was immaculate and the quietness of the location was just what we needed. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and we loved sitting outside and listening to the leaves fall. We will definitely stay there again the next time we visit the area.

Secluded

Due to an unfortunate injury to our pet prior to our trip, we only stayed 2 days. The house is definitely remote. The gravel road in is narrow but well maintained. The house was clean. The layout was okay. Wish we had been able to stay and get a better feel for the place. If you are looking for a place way back in the mountains, this will fit the bill.

Serenity Indeed

Can't wait to go back again. Peaceful, nothing but the birds singing, wind through the trees, and occasional moo from Lily or one of the other cows...Paul, Daytona Beach, Fl.

Nice vacation

The property was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The only problem for us was no cell service, however there is a landline phone which was great. We own a business and need to be in contact with our employees when we are away on vacation. So the landline phone solved that issue. We had a very relaxing vacation at this home.

Nice porch and cute cows!!!

We enjoyed our stay in this cabin located in the country. They give you cow feed to feed the cows. You shake the bucket and they come!! 😀 House was super clean and hanging out on the porch and enjoying the cooler mountain air was lovely!

It gets better and better

This was our 4th or 5th time we have stayed at Serenity. That probably tells you how highly I recommend, and what I think about the Holt's properties. Sitting on the deck and listening to wind through the trees is serenity indeed. Walking the property and feeding cows Daisy and Tulip in the cool mountain air is a very relaxing experience. Thanks, Bob and Brenda. We will be back.

Relaxing and Enjoyable

Our stay was very relaxing. We needed a place to get away for a few days, and this place did not disappoint. Very good place to chill. The trip up the mountain was a bit long, but that is to be expected when you go to the mountains. This home had everything we needed and more!

Quiet Getaway

My husband and I stayed here recently, and we really enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the property was. We got to feed the mini cows, which was the highlight of my husband's stay. The only negative thing I can say is that the road that the house is on is VERY rocky, steep, and difficult to navigate. Even though we were in my husband's truck, we still had trouble getting to and from the house. Overall, we would recommend staying here.

Mountain Getaway

Very nice place and we enjoyed our stay. It is in the mountains and the drive into the property was a little hair raising for us as we were not used to it, but we managed it. phone service was not good for the most part but the internet worked great for us. Recommend the property as a very tranquil and relaxing place to stay
