Nice little get away

My husband and I had a very nice stay. I guess I didn't realize it was connected to another home so the walls were a little thin but other than that it was fine. The hosts were very hospitable and even left us some Christmas treats. I enjoyed painting a rock to leave behind from our stay.

Beautiful property- county setting. It’s a home away from home with the nicest and kindest hosts. Beautiful road to take an early morning walk. Picturesque scenery that could be placed on a jig saw puzzle. Saw birds, deer and rabbits. No regrets, would stay here again!

Perfection

Perfect location, this VRBO is attached to the owner's main house and on their property. The pool was amazing with floaties and toys for the kids, including life jackets if needed. The rooms were equipped with toys for the kids and games. It was perfect for our family of 4. It has a Keurig with coffee pods, there is a firepit outside, and outdoor games. The owners were kind and so lovely to converse with. The ARK Experience and Creation Museum were close and there was enough to do that we were happy and satisfied. We have bookmarked this property to stay at again when we are in the area.

Martha and Donnie are great. Super place for 2-3 people to stay. Sitting by the fire and watching deer in the rolling landscape is a great departure from everyday craziness.

Quiet and Peaceful

Beautiful sunsets and rolling hills. We really enjoyed our visit and meeting the owners. It was a great get away to the country, enjoying the birdsongs, deer in the early evening, and watching the kids catch fire-flies. The ARK Encounter is only 15 minutes away, and we had a blast. Try the local eatery Beans Cafe and Bakery for some good bites.

At home with old friends

We walked into a dated lodging that was attached to the main home. It was clean and filled with amenities. If you want an upscale place to stay, this is not for you. We got a little worried on our drive to the place, but once there felt right at home. We loved the big, huge spacious back yard with a see-saw and corn hole to play. Our 4 year old loved running in the grass and shooting the super soaker at the flies and other insects he saw outside. He and I put our feet in the big pool out back and I washed by clothes in the laundry room off the pool deck. There was only one bedroom with two beds - a queen and a twin - and a sofa to sit (the big closet in the bedroom did have a mattress that would fit on a portable frame if someone wanted to sleep in there). The lodging has a full kitchen with everything you need and one bathroom with plenty of towels. There was a nice swing to sit and take in some nature and also a nice fire-pit to make s'mores (ingredients provided. The host also provided lots of games and items to engage a little one (crayons, stuffed animals, books, etc.). Our engagement with Donnie and Martha made them feel like old friends we hadn't seen in a long time. They were so friendly and accommodating in every way. We would go back to visit our new "old" friends!

Martha's place was everything we were hoping for and more😉. The yard was beautifully manicured with blooming flowers of all varieties. Martha greeted us with smiles and info when we arrived and assured us she would be around if we needed anything. We liked the fact that we were away from the busy traffic but close enough for shopping. Nice, clean and Homey.

Slice of Heaven

Our stay at Sunset Serenity was perfection! Martha and Donald are the quintessential hosts - we felt supported and looked after, but never felt we didn't have the privacy we wanted. The property was well cared for and provided a welcome escape for my kids to run and play after long days of sightseeing. Enjoying smores by the firepit as the sun sets is a must-do! You simply cannot stay stressed out here - I highly recommend you stop in for a stay!
