We also have walking paths you can take down into our creek. It will take your breath away because it looks like its from Canada. It sort of is. When the glacier moved through this area it deposited the seeds of the Canadian Hemlock trees. These trees grow naturally along our creek. It is something to see if you are able to walk there. It is probably a 15 minute walk down to the creek or you can drive down the road and get closer. Directions will be in the house in the Welcome Notebook. It is a down hill walk to the creek. The area has mowed paths. We have 2 ponds you will pass on your way to the creek. Many people have enjoyed the walk.

We spent a long weekend celebrating April birthdays on Ken and Andrea Hostetler's property near Millersburg. This is an outstanding home with plenty of room, very clean and all the necessities you'd ever need. Lots of things to do and see, or just sit on the huge deck and enjoy the scenery. Great communications as well as some lovely treats to enjoy when checking in. Thank you for an outstanding weekend.

Great place!
We have a large family with all the grandkids, and this place was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms for the adults and enough pull outs for all the kids. We enjoyed the large kitchen with the table being large enough to sit most of us. Overall it was a great experience!

New Year Family Getaway.
I can't say enough about this beautiful home and location. It is even better than the pictures. My family had plenty of space to be together and to spread out. The home has everything you will need and even some things you didn't know you needed. We have stayed in numerous VRBO homes, and this was by far my family's favorite. We played games, shot pool, watched movies, built puzzles, and ate so much delicious food. The hosts were very accommodating and communication was excellent. We truly hated to leave and are already talking about making Serenity Hill a tradition.

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Andrea Hostetler

Host profile image
We have lived here for 28 years raising our family and a herd of horses. We have opened our home to many people who have needed a chance to restore their lives. My husband and I live across from the house in an apartment my husband built in the pole barn. Everyone here on the hill gets along and visits with each other often. Our Amish neighbors are excited to be able to help you feel comfortable here in Amish Country. They are available to cook for you or the neighbor girl will be glad to show you around the farm.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property when we were fostering 2 other children besides our own. When we saw the view we couldn't pass up purchasing this land. We love this quiet and peaceful area so we set up our home here.

What makes this property unique

Our land includes part of the Doughty Creek. When you go to the creek it looks like you are in a different state. The large rocks are covered with ferns as the creek is gently flowing over the rocks. The views from the deck are breath taking. A local Amish man is leasing our barn and fields from us. You will see horses and cows grazing in the fields. You will also see people coming and going as they feed the animals.
