This property is as advertised and more. It was so clean. We enjoyed spending time on the decks and around the fire pit making S’mores. The amenities in the development were beautiful.
This property had everyrhing you could ever need to have the best family vacation. The house was spotless. The owners were quick to respond at all times. We had people from 5 to 50 and everyone loved jt and didnt want to leave!
We had an excellent week at Serenity Woods! There was something to do for all ages! Being able to go back and forth from the South Pool to the beach was so nice!
I do want to mention we were nervous about there being no central AC and it being mid-summer, but with the window units and many fans provided it was not an issue at all! We were nice and cool all week!
Matt was super helpful with any questions we had and tips for things to do off the property!
Most fully stocked location of any rental I’ve ever stayed! We enjoyed all the community’s resources (beach, pool, sports options) along with having plenty to do at the house itself. The bedrooms worked well for our 6 adults and a little one. We had everything we needed. Only one wish is that the basement bedroom could be cooled down a bit more. Otherwise highly recommend for families.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We went to enjoy a little getaway with our children for our anniversary and made many memories! The place was very clean and very well stocked. The kids enjoyed all the amenities and we enjoyed a relaxing weekend away. It was within walking distance to the clubhouse and a little playground we went to. Matt was very responsive and gave us suggestions to make reservations (which we were so glad to know!) We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
The house was super clean, and decorated so beautifully! Everything was explained thoroughly by the owners. Out of all the vacation houses we rented before, Matt’s house was the cleanest, even to the dishes. The views from the huge living room windows are absolutely stunning. It was raining/snowing when we stayed but we got to enjoy the house! The heating works great, my family stayed in the lower level but it was very warm. We hope to come back in the summertime! Thank you Matt & Wendy!
This is our 3rd stay at the Hideout and we just cannot love it more! The community has so much to do inside it, let alone options nearby
Matt and Wendy’s home was so warm and welcoming. We stayed for a week and for a family of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids aged 7-11) the house was exactly what we needed! It was fully stocked with games, cooking basics, etc
We had to reach out to Matt and Wendy during our stay and they were very prompt in response.
Thanks so much for opening your home for us!
Family + 1 friend (8 of us, ages 11 to 76) spent 3 nights and had a terrific time: Played mini-golf and golf; played all the fun games in the house; went to the gym, pool and beach; rode bikes; walked; grilled. We celebrated a 75th birthday. The house is so wonderfully decorated and was so clean and comfortable. We loved eating our meals on and just hanging out on the delightful screened-in porch where we could enjoy the fresh air and beautiful surroundings. The house is a winner!
This house is awesome! We stayed with our extended family for a long weekend. The house has everything you can think of in the kitchen, was very clean and the owners are extremely responsive and easy to deal with. The hideout has lots of amenities. The ski hill is perfect for beginners. The kids loved it and it's the cheapest skiing you'll find. My only wish is for a queen bed upstairs rather than a full (two adults can't sleep in a full size bed so one had to sleep on the couch).
Property as expected and communication with the property manager was excellent. Availability of winter amenities are not guaranteed, and the ski/tubing area was closed during our stay. The drive to Montage ski resort was reasonable, and all of the children successfully completed their first lessons.
We would stay at this property again as there was plenty of space for our party of 10 and plenty of games/activities for the kids.
We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home at the end of August. The house was the perfect size for 4 adults and 5 children ages 6 and younger. The game room downstairs was a huge hit for the kids on the one rainy day we had. The complex has so much to offer and is huge! I wish we stayed longer to see more of the property. There was construction going on but once you figure out the detours it was fine. The house was so clean and well kept. Matt was extremely responsive to our texts. We were unable to make phone calls due to lack of service but texting with WiFi worked fine. We would love to make this our yearly family getaway!

Family Vacation
The home was lovely. We were initially concerned about the lack of central air, but the shaded area, window unit air conditioners and fans were fine. We felt that the amenities of the community were over-stated. The mini golf and arcade were under whelming and the need to drive everywhere was inconvenient. Also, we attempted to use the main pool twice but were not able to find parking either time. We did visit the North Pool which was fine, but were told we could not bring snacks with us. Overall, we had a lovely stay. The home was lovely and we appreciated how many games/activities were included. Thank you.
This house is perfect! It’s comfortable, decorated nicely and was more than enough room for us. I highly recommend staying here. We plan to come back to the area and will definitely book this house again! We enjoyed our stay.
The house was beautiful, extremely clean and smells amazing!! We had the best time with our boys. Just what they needed!! Can’t wait to rent again! Thank you so much Matt and Wendy we will be back!
We had a great stay with family and friends. The communication was great, and we even tried some of the suggestions for food sent to us, all were amazing food. Overall one of the best places we have stayed at over the years. I would highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay at Serenity House. We loved the woodsy and peaceful setting and the screened in porch. The house was clean, with great kitchen items (dishes, pots and pans). The bedrooms were comfortable and cool. My family had fun playing Rock Band. The only concern was the lack of AC in the main living area which became hot during the peak heat times. We appreciated the ID tags that provided entry into the amenities.
