Serenity Valley is a little "Peace" of Paradise.
Loved the property and home. Very welcoming and so much to offer. The only downside was the smell of either a hog farm near by or the manure that the farmers spread in the field.
The property is beautiful, relaxing and met all of our needs. The whole place is decorated beautifully and with high-end finishes. Beds were cozy and comfortable. The fire pit area seats several people and is a great plus when you want to sit outside and enjoy star gazing. The two resident dogs greeted us most times we arrived back to the house. Fluffy, the cat, was so cute and very entertaining to watch when we were outdoors. ? We'll go back again, if we're in town with a group. The owners made check-in and checkout a breeze and were available if we needed anything. 10 stars!!!!
The three days spent at Serenity Valley were wonderful. Just what 6 senior college friends needed for relaxing and reminiscing. The beautiful grounds, the fishing ponds and the fire pit area provided excellent gathering spots for stories to be told and laughter following! This home is one of the best the area provides.
Get to know you weekend for my soon to be sister in law and to get and and visit w my siblings without my parents. The house is wonderful and the grounds gorgeous!!
This place has got a little for everyone. If you want to be outside or inside. It has great amenities for either. The pictures look amazing and yet still somehow don't do the place justice! The owners were super friendly! More than willing to leave us be, but if we initiated a conversation, more than willing to have a great chat. If/when we make another trip to the area, we most certainly will be back!!
Our stay was very accommodating. Very clean and friendly. Really recommending for all families to try with one out. Great cookies.
The property owners were very friendly. It was perfect for the kids to play and have fun and the parents to relax. I would say it is best to bring all food with you as restaurants are about 20 minutes away. When you get there you won't want to leave anyways.
Stayed here for three nights and our stay was lovely. We enjoyed being on the large patio. Our daughter loved the owners dogs and cat coming to great her through out our stay. I highly recommend!
The house was very clean and amazing and the owners were lovely people. The property was like a park only better. The grounds were amazing with ponds beautiful trees and flowers. There was a hammock and lots of outdoor furniture ,a small lake where you can kayak and fish. A perfect place to stay and relax. Enjoy its wonderful!!
Family members (4 adults and 2 children) spent 4 days in a very comfortable cabin away from our homes, no work, no stress. The cabin had a well equipped kitchen and even bunk beds for the kids. A great place to just spend some time.
Serenity Valley is a beautiful place. We were in town for the Luther College Christmas concert in Decorah so was only an 18–20-minute commute. The pictures do not do it justice as the cabin is spacious with beautiful woodwork. We stayed in December and everything was decorated to the hills for Christmas! Even had a Christmas tree. The cabin had all the amenities that a family could need. The property is spacious with opportunity to swim and kayak. Deb is a wonderful host and was available if needed. Will be back again. Thank you!
This was a beautiful place to stay at the night before my wedding! The owners were very welcoming and even set up tables and mirrors for my hairdressers and makeup artist to set up all their supplies! I would very much love to go back again maybe at a warmer time to enjoy the lake and the campfire area.
It is a lovely, quiet retreat away from distractions and technology!
Beautiful property. Plenty of room. Plan meals ahead of time as not many available restaurants in area. Wifi went in and out. Otherwise very comfortable and cozy. Would recommend to anyone as a very nice property for the money
Our stay in Ossian was one of the best ever! The large country property was well manicured and offered many amenities. The house was decorated beautifully for fall and was extremely comfortable. Bedrooms and bathrooms were designed to accommodate our friends as well as any family group. We will return.
We enjoyed a peaceful and serene weekend. The property was well maintained, clean and very relaxing. We would recommend it to others!
Perfect place to unplug with the pond and firepit. The grounds and the stargazing can't be beat, as well as the hosts. Would definitely stay again.
It was amazing! Would definitely stay again! Beautiful property! The friendly pets are a plus as well!!!!
The rental process couldn’t have been any easier. The house was lovely and perfect for our weekend of fun! Spacious kitchen and bedrooms were a plus. We wish the weather would have been better so we could have enjoyed the nice patio. It was a unanimous vote for us to come back!
Host was extremely helpful! The fresh homemade cookies were a huge hit! Spacious and comfortable. The property was gorgeous. We will have to come back when the weather is in our favor!
