Charming home, with tons of character, great location. We were there for graduation and could walk to the ceremony. Would definitely recommend it for a family celebration or football weekend.

Beautiful home with great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely and the outdoor area great for a group of 10 to hang out. We were there for our daughter’s graduation and were able to walk to the ceremony. Would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous house. Everything we possibly could want was there. Meals with a big family were so much better than fighting the graduation crowds at restaurants. Walked to the ceremony too! Definitely would book again

Serenity Haven - aptly named!

My son and I chose Serenity Haven for his second post-op recovery location. The area is convenient to medical facilities, groceries, restaurants and everything we need. The house is beautifully decorated and the thick towels, comfort of the beds and relaxing back yard all contributed to a healing environment - times 2! We are grateful for Maria and her team, especially Tristan, for adding to our comfort this week.
