Our family had an amazing time here! The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed, and they even had a smores kit on the counter which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall the house was clean, and cozy which was perfect because we stayed during winter. We had a lot of fun with the digital game board and ping pong table in the garage, and lounging outside in the fire. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The hosts are very responsive and welcoming. Place is well equipped and good for a family with master bedroom upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs that share a bath Only drawback is it is on a very busy road.
AC could not keep up with 90+ degree weather. Main living and master bedroom on upper level. House is located on blind corner of main road.
Clean with beautiful views looking forward to staying there again.
Interior is a very spacious, clean, warm, and friendly environment. Many amenities and comforts of home. Beautiful views and a nice deck to sit, relax, and enjoy them from. The perfect getaway.
Overall a nice stay, had pretty much everything we needed. Katie was very responsive and nice.
Great cabin layout. Beautiful view from the back deck. Short drive to Pine Crest Lake.
My brother and I, along with two of our friends, had a wonderful stay at Serenity. Our hosts, Katie and Sean, take extra care to ensure you feel welcome, like a few snacks, a couple bottles of water, and coffee. It was a nice touch. Katie was extremely responsive to my questions, which was wonderful, and you can tell they take pride in their property. We were delightfully surprised by the lake view, and we loved the lights around the deck railing at night. We all hope to return soon.
Stayed for 5 nights for spring break, nice little getaway!
Loved our stay
Our stay was a pleasant, memorable one. The cabin is fully stocked and very cozy. The windows look out into the woods and when it snowed we had beautiful views of the frozen pond below. The owners made sure our needs were met and when we had a couple of questions or couldn't find something they were available with a quick text to help us out or phone if needed. Very beautiful property and a great environment for anybody, especially families with kids and pets.
Great vacation rental
Property was well taken care of and it had all the essential needs for a comfortable stay. The hosts (Kate and John) were amazing when it came to answering all questions we had. The location was perfect, you are up in the mountains about 25 minutes away from Pinecrest, but also a short drive to Sonora and other stores for those emergency needs. The check in instructions and house rules were clear and easy to follow. We will defiantly be coming back, and we will be bringing our Dog rocky. Thank you so much again for your hospitality and God bless.
Very roomy, easy access and host was great with emailing information. Would definitely rebook again.
Nice house in the woods
No complaints, great cabin in a great town!
House was clean and there was plenty of room. The house was located conveniently to Twain Harte and Dodge Ridge. Easy check in/out and communication from property owners was thorough. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and easy stay. Would definitely stay here again.
