This is our second time staying at this property. The owner is easy to work with and the property is beautiful and well maintained. The kids love the pond and there’s plenty of room to roam and explore! We come to this area once a year and plan to continue using this property for our stay!
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2026
So thrilled you love the place! The pond right in front is great for fishing. We try hard to make the expansive grounds are well maintained for guests to enjoy so thank you! Serenity is a fitting name in my opinion.
If you are seeking a tranquil place close to OBU and Arkadelphia we highly recommend this home. The host has been phenomenal every time we have stayed here. Sitting on the porch reading, swinging in the porch swing and walking down and fishing in the pond are just a few of the many highlights. We'll be back for our 4th stay soon. Thanks for being a great host, Michael. Mac and Daphne
This house exceeded our expectations in every way, the host was easily accessible and a great communicator. The house easily sleeps 3 couples (6 adults) and could accommodate 2 kids for a total of 8. A larger walk in shower in both bathrooms and fully stocked kitchen with coffee. A very quiet property that is close enough to town and to the lake. I have stayed in plenty of VRBO properties and I can say this overall stay tops the list.
Serenity lane lives up to its name. Quietness, deer, foxes and peaceful fishing were all part of our weekend. The porch that you could sit on all day was our favorite spot. Michael is a great host. We’ll be back for stay #3 in a few months. Mac and Daphne
Such an amazing place! The grounds and tranquility were just amazing. The house was comfortable. They had everything we could need. Starbucks K-cups were the same we have at home. That’s a big WIN for me! Also the towels were top quality. The host was super accommodating. We will be back!! Thanks Michael for everything.
Everything was excellent from beginning to end due to Michael's efforts. The communication was very timely and very clear. We also greatly appreciated the host's offer to let us check in early; that was unexpected and a nice surprise. The house was exceptionally clean and the setting tranquil and relaxing. We'll definitely be back!
Beautiful, peaceful property! The house was beautiful and clean. We did have an issue with the ice maker but the host was quick to respond and went above and beyond to help make it right. Seriously, the kindest host we’ve ever dealt with. The property is just beautiful with a little pond in front and plenty of outdoor area for the kids to explore!
Our stay at Serenity Lane was absolutely amazing! Michael was so welcoming and went above and beyond making the entire process as smooth as possible from start to finish. Check in was easy and the house was so clean and spacious. The porch was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee with a view of the pond, all of the beds were extremely comfortable, and the outdoor firepit area was so much fun to gather around at night! The kitchen is well stocked to with everything you'd need for cooking and there's a great gas grill outside as well! An easy 20ish minute drive to Degray Lake and some nice hiking spots nearby as well. Definitely recommend this gorgeous space to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! We hope to be back again!
This property had no reviews because it was fairly new, so I was initially hesitant to rent it. I contacted the owner, and he put my mind at ease immediately. We stayed there with 7 adults and an infant for a 4th of July weekend at the lake. The property was just as described and included a beautiful pond that my dad caught several fish in. It was just far enough outside of town to feel secluded, but close enough to restaurants and the lake. The living and dining area were big enough for everyone to play games or watch TV. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was a nice screened in porch and outdoor sitting area and plenty of parking for everyone. The sink clogged on day 2, and the owner had it fixed within an hour without any disruption to us! Michael checked in with me several times before we arrived and made sure we had the lock code in plenty of time. There were no unreasonable cleaning requests, and check in and out were super easy. I’m so glad we stayed, and we will definitely be back!
