The vast Leatherwood trail system is just steps from your door, ideal for hiking or riding. Horses and dogs are welcome ($75 per pet and $25 per horse per night), and the on-site 2-stall barn with turn-out paddock makes Serenity Now a dream for equestrians.

Whether you’re watching horses pass through the meadow, soaking in the hot tub, or roasting marshmallows by the fire pit, Serenity Now is your perfect escape into the peace and beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Guests traveling with trailers or other long vehicles should be aware that the roads inside Leatherwood are narrow, steep, mountain roads that are not conducive to vehicles or trailers longer than a two horse bumper pull trailer or a goose neck trailer less than 20 feet long. Leatherwood is not responsible for any resulting damage.
Serenity Now is located on a narrow, one way road. There is sufficient room for a 2 horse trailer, but nothing longer. Ride directly from this great new rental property onto the Leatherwood Mountains trail system and return to the onsite 2 stall barn.
