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.

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!

Our group of women ranges in age from 57 to 89 and we all absolutely LOVED this house. There was ample room to spread out and enjoy separate conversations without all being in one place. The dining areas also provided ample room to dine without feeling crowded. The house was so well stocked, it felt as if we were living in someone else's full-time home for the weekend. The peace and serenity we enjoyed on the back deck was just what the doctor ordered. And did I mention clean? This is THE cleanest house our group has ever stayed in and we've been doing our fall trips for over 20 years. Thank you for opening up your magnificent home to us!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at this magnificent property. The house, the views, and the owners were much more than anticipated. Best place we’ve ever stayed!

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!

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.

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!

What an amazing location to get away from the daily grind! For the past nine years, my siblings and I, along with our significant others, have been meeting in a central location between Florida and Ohio (usually in North Carolina) to recharge our batteries before the first snowfall. This place blows away all the others, and who would think it would be so close to home for most of us! The views are spectacular. Watching the sunrise from the deck overlooking the fields where the horses graze will be one of the most memorable moments of our lives. The firepit was a great place to wind down for the day and roast marshmallows while star gazing. We even witnessed SpaceX Starlink satellites, which at first, we had thought were UAPs/UFOs. (Look this up on the web) The house is well equipped with everything to make one feel that they're right at home. The beds are very comfortable, fresh clean linens, plenty of bathrooms, and the supplied toiletries were a bonus. There are three ponds from which to fish (catch and release of course) and get in some additional bonding time. The location is close to many Amish stores with way too many tasty homemade treats. Those on a diet may want to avoid entering :) The hosts are terrific and accommodating. We contacted them a few times for trivial things and received replies within minutes! Just an amazing time, location, overall experience. One that deserves more than the five-star limit!! We may break our oath to not visit the same place twice

Serenity Hill was absolutely PERFECT for our family. The house and property were even more amazing than their description in the listing. Lots and lots of space on both levels, so we were never crowded. The kitchen and dining areas were stocked with EVERYTHING needed. And to top it off, Andrea checked in during our stay to see if there was anything else we needed. We did a mix of cooked meals, along with some great pizza from Park Street Pizza in Sugarcreek and Charm Pizza just down the road from the house. Beds were comfortable, and the room-darkening shades enabled us all to sleep in spite of the morning sun. The living room had plenty of space with its comfortable sofas, and the sitting room just off the patio (my favorite spot) was ideal for early coffee and reading. The incredibly huge deck was great with lots of seating, and a gas fire pit. We did use the log-burning fire pit in the backyard to roast marshmallows under the stars one night, something the kids are still talking about. And the neighboring barn and grazing horses fascinated the little ones all week. Almost forgot to mention the huge driveway with plenty of room for bike riding and scooters. Can't recommend this rental and its owners enough, and would definitely stay here again. In fact, we've already told friends with large families about it. Check it out!

We stayed for 5 days, and wished we would have stayed longer. This property was incredibly clean, and the house is huge. We had 4-5 families staying at a time, and the house fit us comfortably.
The kids loved taking a short walk to see the horses and the frogs at the small pond, we enjoyed quiet nights on the large deck, and there were enough spaces inside to go while one of the kids was sleeping or napping.
Probably the biggest highlight was the host coordinating with us a neighbor girl stopping by to talk about the horses and what it's like living there. If that's a possibility, I highly recommend chatting with her.
If we're able to come back to this area, we will definitely choose this house again!

Everything was perfect. The home was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!!

We were confused about the bedroom locations. We assumed the 4 bedrooms were on the main floor and since there was only two on the main floor it made it a harder for some of the people to get up and down the stairs. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay.

This beautiful home and countryside was perfect for our big family. There was nothing missing to make our family’s vacation complete. The guys had golfing close by. The grill was extra nice for us to enjoy meals outside on the spacious back porch. Not one negative comment from any of the family. We hope to do it again. Highly recommend!

Very relaxing and quiet, beautiful view from back deck, we spend most of our time on the deck. Everything we needed was there at our convenience. Would definitely recommend Serenity Hill

Breathtaking views! This property was perfect for our large family with varying ages from 1-60+. The house was clean, welcoming and had plenty of space for everyone. The kids enjoyed the toys and childrens books, the adults enjoyed outdoor games on the lawn, pool table and especially the views of rolling hills with pastures dotted with horses and cows. Very relaxing!
5.0
Amazing property. Exactly as pictured and described. The only difference is the view. You absolutely cannot capture in a picture how fantastic it is. Our group spent 90% of our 3 days on the deck!
I’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO and this house was the cleanest ever. My entire group noticed. Every nook and cranny was spotless.
The beds were comfy and the sheets and towels were super soft.
This property was laid out amazingly and the owner has everything you would need
We loved the location. Secluded to feel embedded in the country but 5 mins to a couple of the big spots to check out!
We would def stay here again
Thank you to Hostetler’s!

This was our second time renting this beautiful home for a New Years celebration with a group that has been friends for over 60 years. The weekend was perfect. I hope we can do it again. Thanks for everything

Serenity Hill is a lovely home away from home with beautiful views of the country landscape. It was a comfortable gathering place for a large group. The house was sparkling clean and well decorated for the holidays. Communication from the owners was detailed and timely. We will definitely consider a repeat visit in the future.

Our family has stayed at Serenity Hill for the past 4 yrs in early December and we absolutely love it! The home is decorated so beautifully for Christmas. We are now thinking of coming in the summer as well to enjoy cooking out and enjoying the outdoors a bit more . Perfect home for a large gathering.

This was our second stay with family and is by far our favorite. As soon as you walk in you feel at home in this relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen is stocked better than any we've experienced (and we've stayed alot of vrbo's). The bedrooms are lovely, bedding comfy and enough bathrooms that no one has to wait long. Basement is great for the kiddos and teens. Host is very responsive to questions and issues if there are any. The location, overlooking Charm has a wonderful view and being in the country, rather than in town is the best! I cannot say enough about this home. We spent 4 nights over our family Christmas gathering and everyone loved it.

Andrea was incredibly helpful throughout our visit providing information, offering suggestions, and responding quickly to questions. The home was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. It was the perfect layout and everyone was very comfortable. Our 87 year old grandmother is already talking about coming back next summer! Couldn’t have asked for a better home for our family to celebrate our parents’ retirement!

We absolutely loved our stay! The location and host cannot be beat. Loved the added bedrooms and the views from the back patio. Our large group had plenty of space to spend time together playing board games and watching Christmas movies, or spread out and take in some me time! Andrea is a joy to interact with and offered us many opportunities to enhance our stay! We’ll be back!

We are a family of 4 boys and one girl, ages 58 - 86, 10 in total with spouses. Ever since the passing of mom and dad, we have gotten together every other year or so. We try to get away somewhere, so it isn't a burden on anyone. Serenity Place has been by far the best fit for us. Every couple had their own bedroom and bathroom, there was a kitchen table and dining table, and both had 10 chairs. There were so many seating areas where you could visit, read, or play games, so many movies, books, games to choose from. The kitchen had everything you could want including condiments, coffee and spices. The house was immaculate, furniture and beds extremely comfortable, and we felt like we were at home. We were so close to all the little towns and venues we wanted to visit. The outside seatiing and property was lovely. We spent evenings and early mornings sitting on the deck with the gas firepit,, enjoying the quiet. The lower level was only used for sleeping because we had 2 that didn't want to use the stairs; that was not a problem at all. We had plenty of space on the main level for all of us. We enjoyed our visit so much, we decided to come back again next year, a first for our group. Thank you to our hosts for a perfect siblings reunion!
