We have a whirlpool sitting in the corner that is very nice to relax in after visiting Amish Country. The shower is tiled with 3 different shower heads and a body sprayer.

We also have walking paths you can take down into our creek. It will take your breath away because it looks like its from Canada. It sort of is. When the glacier moved through this area it deposited the seeds of the Canadian Hemlock trees. These trees grow naturally along our creek. It is something to see if you are able to walk there. It is probably a 15 minute walk down to the creek or you can drive down the road and get closer. Directions will be in the house in the Welcome Notebook. It is a down hill walk to the creek. The area has mowed paths. We have 2 ponds you will pass on your way to the creek. Many people have enjoyed the walk.

The hosts were so welcoming and pleasant to work with. The amenities were fantastic! Met our expectations and exceeded them. Absolutely would stay here again!!
The house is amazing, and the views are picturesque. We've stayed there a few times and most likely will be back again. It is a great place to enjoy spending time with a large group. The kitchen is spacious enough to accommodate more than one cook and is amply supplied with various utensils and cookware. The hosts are very friendly and gracious.
We found this property to be very accommodating for our visit to this area. The house was very clean. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. The setting is lovely!
We have a large family with all the grandkids, and this place was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms for the adults and enough pull outs for all the kids. We enjoyed the large kitchen with the table being large enough to sit most of us. Overall it was a great experience!
We had a great time. The house is beautiful and very well furnished. The views from the deck are spectacular. The host (hostess) is very pleasant and responsive. We will definitely stay here again.
We were looking for a place to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our family - and this place was perfect. The house has all of the comforts and conveniences and it is clean and well maintained. The views from the deck are amazing. The hosts are very pleasant and accommodating. Everyone had a great time!
The property is perfect- we have stayed here several times because of the flexibility of the house and space everyone has. We love sitting out on the deck in the evening playing games and enjoying the beautiful views. We will be back again.
This is our fifth year, I believe, staying at Serenity Hill. I have given 5 star reviews each year. Ken and Andrea are super easy to communicate with and have honestly thought of everything to make their home perfect for vacations. The house and grounds are always in pristine conditions. We love it here and will continue to book here.
Our family of 16 stayed Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful time. Kitchen was well stocked, with spices and condiments in the refrigerator. House was very clean! Kids loved the hillbilly golf and cornhole games provided. Adults enjoyed the huge deck with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the view. Also, communication with owners was excellent! Wonderful place to stay!!
Serenity Hill was the perfect place for our ladies ministry get-a-way! There were 13 of us and we all enjoyed the beautiful roomy home, porch and breathtaking view. The house was well stocked, spotless and everything we needed was there! Great communication with Andrea!
This is our second couples weekend at this
Property. We hosted a Christian marriage conference and the house was wonderful! Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and great space. We will be back for a third. ❤️🙌
Everything was as advertised and property lived up to great reviews. Had high expectations and they were met. Would have rated a six if I could figure out how. Everything was clean and well stocked
The location and the location size were perfect for our extended family stay. The pictures don't do it justice. Everyone enjoyed every moment of their stay at Serenity Hill. We loved the area's actitvities. If there is one thing that might have made it better would have been a TV mounted outside for the family to watch the football games.
This was our second stay for our annual family weekend with our children and grandchildren. Great location with a beautiful house and property, very peaceful and serene and plenty of room for us all. We enjoy spending time outdoors and the large deck with a view was perfect to everyone to socialize, have meals and just enjoy morning coffee. The property allowed for the boys to fish, everyone to gather around the fire, lots of room for yard games and walking paths explore. Everyone had a great time and have requested to return again.
We spent a long weekend celebrating April birthdays on Ken and Andrea Hostetler's property near Millersburg. This is an outstanding home with plenty of room, very clean and all the necessities you'd ever need. Lots of things to do and see, or just sit on the huge deck and enjoy the scenery. Great communications as well as some lovely treats to enjoy when checking in. Thank you for an outstanding weekend.
Spacious home. This home has everything you need and some things you didn’t know you needed. Communication with the host was easy. Gina, a neighbor, visited us with her horse and her little dog. She allowed the children to ride the horse. The sun rises were beautiful.
This property offers a big bang for the buck. The house is a home for us. Our family loves to spend time together playing games or just relaxing. It has plenty of sleeping spaces in addition to a beautiful luxury master suite for grandpa & grandma. The littles love to watch the 'horseys' and have so much yard to play in safely. The adults love the back porch for their morning coffee and watching the sunrise. Grandpa and grandma would love to make this an annual event.
Our family has been spending a weekend in December for the past 5 years at what we call the “Christmas House”. It is such a beautiful home and the view of the rolling hills is breathtaking!. We are all sad to leave and are now considering adding a weekend as well in July. A chance to focus on family and leave the outside world behind for a bit. It is truly Serenity Hill❤️
Our family including 8 adults and 7 kids had a wonderful stay at Serenity Hill. Our hosts were excellent communicators and the house was beautiful, so well equipped and clean. We loved the deck. Our view of the valley from the deck was great and we all enjoyed watching the horses in the adjacent pasture. There is a lovely hike to a shallow creek that the kids enjoyed playing in. There is also plenty to see and do close by. The kids enjoyed horse rides provided by a local Amish girl. All in all a fabulous destination! Highly recommend..
I can't say enough about this beautiful home and location. It is even better than the pictures. My family had plenty of space to be together and to spread out. The home has everything you will need and even some things you didn't know you needed. We have stayed in numerous VRBO homes, and this was by far my family's favorite. We played games, shot pool, watched movies, built puzzles, and ate so much delicious food. The hosts were very accommodating and communication was excellent. We truly hated to leave and are already talking about making Serenity Hill a tradition.
Wow! Everything was thought of - from the K-cups to the makeup towels and everything in between. The area is serene and breathtaking. I wish we would have time to shop as nothing is open on Sunday morning yet there was really no reason to leave the house. Everyone of our 9 friends had a place to sleep and plenty of bathroom space. Comfy blankets on cozy couches. The hosts were available for anything we needed and quick to answer. I absolutely loved this house!
This property has beautiful views, a walking trail, lake & fishing. The house is beautiful inside and out with a large porch and fire pit. It is open and spacious for a large group to enjoy. The furniture is beautiful and sturdy. Everything is very well kept and functions well. We've been to places that had pretty pictures, but when we went there it wasn't as pictured. You won't find that issue here. We have no complaints, except that we couldn't stay longer. We had a wonderful time in a fantastic house which is located in a beautiful area!
