Great place! Just be careful with directions, lots of different ways to get there with different gated entrances. Otherwise, property and house were amazing!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Serenity. The house was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed cooking together in the fabulous kitchen and gathering around the beautiful table. We will definitely look to stay here again when we return to Blowing Rock.

The property was well maintained and was a nice fit for our family. We know the area well as we have owned a smaller home in Blowing Rock for more than 25 years. We came up two days early to make the week easier for our family coming from as far away as California and New York. It was raining and actually cold when we were trying to get into the house and the code we were given for the door did not work. After about 30 minutes on the phone (terrible reception) we were able to get a second code that got us into the house and are thankful that an actual person answered the phone. The weather was terrible for the whole week (fog and no visibility and unseasonably cold) a blessing for those of us who came from Temperatures feeling like 100 degrees the prior week. The house was nice and fairly new but could benefit from better lighting. (Floor lamps in the living room would be nice). The true test will be when I poll the family to see if they would like to return next year.

Things we liked--kitchen was well equipped, we did a fair amount of cooking here and had more kitchen equipment than I'm used to in VRBO homes. The kitchen was very spacious and accomodated a large group comfortably. Our family especially appreciated the second downstairs sitting area that was separate from the TV/fireplace living room. There was a nice game room area upstairs but our group didn't actually use it but it would have been nice for teenagers. The only downside was that out of 3 full baths, 2 had access through bedrooms but this was an issue we easily managed. Overall, we loved this house and would stay there again.
