Cabin was cute and bed was crazy comfy. Property around cabin a bit run down, hot tub worked great just was set on 100 and it was a hot day so had to wait awhile for it to cool off. The thing that was disappointing was there was a cowboy pool, very hot weekend, so would have been awesome to get to use it but in arrival it had a few inches of water in it and very dirty, when I asked about it was told they would fill it overnight so we could use next day. Didn't happen, never saw owners again.

Quiet, rocky and restful!

Very enjoyable and relaxing stay with friendly accommodating host. The property is located on a rough road well back from the highway, so go slow and be careful of high rocky spots. Located centrally to Wimberly, Canyon Lake and the surrounding area. Good restaurants and shopping. We will return again.

Little slice of heaven

Serenity was a lovely place to stay, perfect for a couple! The cottage had everything we needed and we enjoyed the hot tub. The property is tucked away and super quiet and private. We hung out in the shady lady lounge our first night and enjoyed the AMAZING sunset and playing giant Jinga! Marilyn is a perfect host, very accommodating and easy to work with. We are looking forward to another visit in this peaceful setting.

We had a lovely weekend getaway in Wimberley! The weather was on the cooler side for Texas, which made our hikes especially enjoyable—such beautiful trails nearby. The tiny home was cozy and thoughtfully set up, with a comfy bed that made it hard to get up in the morning… except for the promise of a warm cup of coffee (provided by the host and brewed by us).Marilyn and her friends were so warm and welcoming. Any small issues we ran into were taken care of quickly and kindly. The property was peaceful and quiet—just what we needed. We especially loved feeding the foxes and listening to the chickens in the morning. Such a unique and charming touch to a restful escape.Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful hill country retreat!

Disappointing

From the horrible road to get to the property to the house not having internet (which we need for our business) or the water that smelled like sulphur, it was a big disappointment. The host Marilyn was very nice and communicated well, but the cottage is not worth the price they are asking. I couldn’t bathe, brush my teeth or even turn the water on because it smelled so bad. The property was cute but kind of dumpy and could use a deep clean. Won’t be going back.

Nice and quiet little place

Went for our 30th anniversary, enjoyed our stay and all the attractions it had to offer, the cottage was somewhat clean, still had alot of dust in some areas, the toilet was very wobbly and loose each time you sat on it but we still had a enjoyable time and will definitely be going back

Perfect!!!

Super Hosts! Everything was perfect and we will be returning the next chance we get. This was our 15 yr wedding anniversary and we couldn't have asked for more. Marilyn and crew were on it! Printed our concert tickets and had them waiting on the bed. They gave us total privacy and respect. The game room was awesome! We lost track of our worries here! Can't say enough about the view, the amenities, the coziness and of course our hosts!

A PERFECT GETAWAY

I can't describe our time at Serenity BnB any other way than absolutely amazing. Everything from the personal touches left for us by Marilyn, to the UNBEATABLE VIEW, to the fun game room area...it was beyond anything we could have asked for. I was a little confused checking in, just because those instructions had not been provided, and I was also a little thrown off to find out the hot tub was at the host's house and not the BnB cottage. However, Marilyn answered my questions (late at night, I might add) and everything worked out perfectly. We already want to come back.

Exactly what we needed

My husband and I were looking for a place to unwind and that is exactly what we had! A hot tub, fire pit, a place to watch the sunset, a game room and close to Wimberly! Marilyn was sweet and attentive to our needs!!

The best B&B ever!

Marilyn Baxter was the best host/manager. We felt so comfortable there and felt like we never left home. We were so relaxed and comfortable. We can’t say enough good things about her and her property.

Great getaway!

If you want to get away from it all (and I mean IT ALL) come visit Serenity Hill! The house is cozy, the pool and back porch/deck were a great way to unwind, access to the hot tub as much as we wanted, and some delicious fresh farm eggs. The lounge was awesome and we had a great time playing darts, cards, and dominoes! Marilyn was super responsive to everything we needed. 10/10 would visit again!

Great place for a getaway.

Nice, out of the way, but close enough to all the places we wanted to see (Natural Bridge Caverns, Canyon Lake, All Hill Country Views). The host was very nice, and extremely helpful. The guest house was cozy, with a view of the valley, toward the lake. The main house, where the hot tub is located, gave a better view of the lake, and a great view of the sunset, and all the stars. Highly recommend this place.

Home away from home

We had an amazing week despite almost everything around us being closed. We knew that going there though. We would have loved to go explore more, but given the current situation of the world, we were fine just staying at the cottage and getting away from it all. Everything was great, peaceful, and cozy. The views are amazing and the sunsets are awesome! We can't wait to come back again and get away from it all again. Thanks for everything!!!
