The house was charming, super clean and the fenced in yard was perfect for my little pups. We are live in a historic home and know the work and effort to restore...you guys did a wonderful job. You have thought of everything!

This was the most impeccably decorated and lovely home I've ever stayed in. Actually took pictures of interior for my own inspiration. Thoughful amenities and attention to detail was so appreciated! The location was very walkable and such a lovely neighborhood. Old Mt Airy was so fun and charming.

Awesome

EVERYTHING was great, home was beautiful, description was accurate and the host was very thoughtful and quick to respond! It truly felt like a home away from home, we were very comfortable and loved our time there. The only thing that would have made our stay better would have been MORE TIME THERE!!
We enjoyed our stay!!

We had such an amazing time. Our host was very quick to respond to any questions. The welcome tray with banana nut bread and hand lotion was such a sweet surprise. Cannot give this host the stars that they deserve because five is my limit lol. Will not hesitate to ever use this host again.

The home is lovely and in a good location close to downtown area. The king bed was comfortable. The shower had great water pressure. We appreciated the Keurig coffee pods and the loaf of banana bread on arrival. There were pet food/water bowls & towels by the back door for our dog to dry off after it rained. The host had thoughtful extras to make it more comfortable. We loved the Christmas tree set up in the front room! Thank you for sharing your home!

We did not bring kids or pets, but if we had, it would have been great for them. The large fenced-in grassy back yard would be perfect for running around and getting exercise. To be honest, we were a bit apprehensive that the place would have evidence of pets staying there, but honestly, there was not a single pet hair or pet odor ANYWHERE. I have stayed at many rental units, and I believe Serene Sanctuary is the cleanest home I have ever rented.The furnishings were very comfortable, especially if you enjoy your mattresses firm. The 1940's vibe added to the ambience. With just one bathroom, it was okay for 4 people sharing. The shower is upgraded and fabulous. Thanks for the complimentary bottled water and banana bread. We all agreed it was a lovely stay.

Thank you for your honest review. We are glad everyone enjoyed their stay. We understand that allowing pets at the house requires an elevated cleaning routine, but we also want to offer pet owners the chance to enjoy a vacation with all family members.
