Just Right

We stayed here for Family weekend at JMU. We wanted to be away from the crowds, and this was a great spot. Everything was great! Comfy beds, warm shower and a nice kitchen. Wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor spaces more, but it rained the whole weekend!

Perfect getaway!

Suzanne is a wonderful host! She was easy to communicate with and provided helpful information at the house. The location is perfect for "getting away from it all." The stream next to the property is awesome to relax by, and is overall peaceful and quiet. Would happily recommend to anyone!

Our favorite oasis

Another great stay at Serenity it is the perfect antidote after long days in the sun at a music festival. Suzanne always provides thoughtful touches ( such as the delish cinnamon rolls she left for us). We’ll be back!

Serenity Indeed!

This home is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by forest and on the bank of a stream. Everything is clean and comfortable and well appointed with smart, thoughtful renovations. The kitchen and baths are well stocked. Communication and assistance from Suzanne is excellent; she goes above and beyond. Our favorite feature is the stone patio and chairs on the edge of the stream. It is easy to be outdoors here with many seating options including a covered porch and a large picnic table. Inside you have good views of the birds at the feeder, the back yard or the stream. A real gem!

Perfect getaway

Truly an amazing cabin with cozy charm!!!! It exceeded our expectations and the pictures cannot accurately capture its true enchantment!!! Our host Suzanne was phenomenally responsive and graciously provided a greeting of fresh cut roses, Valentine's candy and a well stocked pantry. The sound of the stream was a constant source of nature's reminder to slow down and appreciate the outdoors. The cabin was extremely clean and well stocked with towels, extra toiletries and paper products. We bundled up and explored the George Washington National Forest, Flag Pole Knob and the Hone Quarry area. We loved watching the birds and squirrels in the morning and appreciated the gas fire place in the evening after hiking in the frigid January temps. We had a perfect getaway and look forward to returning in the Spring!

AMAZING Trip!

I don’t know what’s better: the location next to a creek, the beautiful views, cozy home, or generous owner… they were all AMAZING! You can’t beat the location with complete privacy, awesome views of nature, and the soothing sounds of the creek right in the backyard. My family enjoyed sitting on the stone outcropping relaxing over the creek. The home itself is cozy, comfortable, great mattresses, well stocked, and totally inviting. The owner is the most attentive and kind person we’ve ever rented from. She checked in with us before we arrived to see if there was anything we needed, offered wonderful recommendations about where to dine, and keeps an impeccable house to enjoy. So much was provided that we didn’t need to bring: bed sheets, clean towels, snacks, fruit, coffee, milk, etc. Her hospitality is superb. We can’t wait to visit again, we absolutely loved this rental and would return just to stay here and relax for days!

Great Getaway!

Listing is exactly as described. Quiet, serene and a lovely setting to relax by the stream and just enjoy nature. Suzanne strives to make her guests as welcome as possible without being intrusive and provides great communication. Cabin is well-stocked with paper products, extra towels, coffee, condiments, baking supplies, snacks and there were even some emergency dinner items in the freezer. Will stay again if time permits. My only minor issue dealt with nature, there were lots of gnats the first day as we strolled around the property. The other days were fine, so my point is to bring insect repellent just in case. That did not affect my 5 star rating! Thank you Suzanne!

Serenity it was!

Suzanne has been a wonderful host starting with communication prior to arrival and then throughout! The place had everything we may have needed and much more - fresh fruit, snacks (savory and sweet), dairy and condiments in the fridge. Thank you so much for everything- we had a fantastic week at Serenity by the Stream!!!

Beautiful Little House in the Woods

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “Serenity.” As advertised, there IS a stream—or rather, a babbling brook—right behind the house, complete with Adirondack chairs for lounging. The house itself is very clean and well-stocked with extra towels, coffee, fruit and everyday essentials. And, surprisingly, the internet worked even though the property is snugged hard against the Blue Ridge Mountains :) Suzanne was a wonderful host and replied promptly to any questions we had—this was one of our best private rental experiences ever and we hope to stay here again next year.
