Awesome spot with first rate amenities

We couldn't be happier with our fourth stay with these wonderful hosts! Great fun at the creek and in the spa and lots of nearby spots to relax, fish, picnic, hike and find serenity. Highly recommended.

Fantastic property, beautiful views

We loved our winter getaway here! We had 6 adults and did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen to be well stocked. The property was very clean and organized, and communication with the hosts was excellent. We loved the hot tub overlooking the creek with a view of the mountains. We can't wait to go back in warmer weather!

Getaway on the creek

We enjoyed our stay with kids of all ages at Serenity. We appreciated plenty of firewood, kayaks, and clean towels and bedding. The creek is beautiful and the nearby hiking trails are a great complement to the property.

Wonderful getaway

The place was excellent for staying on Craig creek right in the middle of being able to drive 20-30 minutes to put in at 4 tributaries to the James. Would definitely recommend this for anglers coming to fish around the area or couples looking for a peaceful getaway for a weekend.

Perfect Place

We are lifelong friends who get away together a few weekends a year to recharge, so we've rented a *lot* of houses. Serenity is one of the best - very quiet and peaceful location, excellent hot tub, well-stocked house in terms of kitchen as well as little touches here and there. The creek offers lots to do and watch (we saw beavers one evening!). We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and have already made reservations to come back again!

Amazing property

The outdoor and indoor spaces are amazing! We loved kayaking, the hot tub, nearby hiking (roaring run is a must!), and the fire pit. We had a question about the wifi, and the host was very responsive. Overall best VRBO experience yet. Definitely bring plenty of groceries and fill up the gas tank as you get close.

Gem of a property on the creek/river

We could’ve been happier with our stay. Everything presented like new. Perfect space for a couple of family or even two families and of all the amenities were spot on. We will be returning.

The BEST Mountain Getaway!

We spent a long weekend at the property for a bird hunt with Wes Hodges and to enjoy all the area has to offer. The hosts were extremely helpful and communicative, but even more, the house was amazing! The property is nestled in the mountains and right alongside Craig’s Creek. The house and property looked brand new - super clean and stocked with anything you could need. The property, amenities, location, and hosts make this the perfect getaway! We’ll definitely be back!

Just As Serene As You'd Expect

Our second family vacation at Serenity was as wonderful, relaxing and fun as the first. Mitch and Bobbie's place is superbly appointed and extra comfy. Views of the creek from the large sliding doors facing south benefit from mature forests and sunny exposure. We did a lot of cooking, reading, visiting and fishing, and good hiking is just a few minutes away. We love this spot!
