About this property

Serenity Now (formerly Bennett's Bungalow) - Family and pet friendly, hot tub, f

Serenity Now (formerly called Bennett's Bungalow) is under new ownership and up-fitted to the MAX! Tucked in to the private woods above Leatherwood Mountains beautiful and picturesque "Meadow" is the perfect unique and cozy get-away spot, "Serenity Now". The Cabin is lovingly furnished with all you will need for a wonderful Mountain Retreat away from life's hectic race! Enjoy the BRAND NEW hot tub while sipping a cool beverage in the evenings. Watch the horses pass by on the Meadow Trails while sitting on the comfy deck chairs enjoying your morning coffee .

Enjoy the fireplace and amazing decks that Serenity Now offers! Our vast trail system is steps from your door for countless hours of hiking and riding. The 2 bedrooms and open loft style sleeping space provides plenty of room for you and your group to comfortably rest easy. Also, there is a full size futon couch that can accommodate an additional person.

Horses & Dogs are welcomed ($75 per pet) at Serenity Now. ! Bring the horse as well ($25 per horse per night)! The 2 stall barn is ideally situated to ride out on the miles of trails Leatherwood has to offer! A turn-out paddock is available for the horses too.

The privacy and serenity of Serenity will sooth your soul and fill you with long lasting memories of your special retreat!

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.

The house was beautiful and packed with extra stuff that sometimes you forget to pack when you go on a trip we enjoyed our stay, the area was beautiful. The view was breathtaking. The only downside it was the signs on the road going up to the house. It was very easy to make a mistake and go on the wrong way up to the house and if a car was coming towards you, there was no way to back off because the road was so narrow. Also they should add more info about the road being so narrow if we had rented a cargo van like we wanted it would have been very difficult to drive on that narrow curved road to get to the house. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Peace and quiet in the woods

We loved staying here! The cabin is beautiful and cozy; loved the morning sunlight coming into the living room! We loved the wood burning stove and firewood is provided. The view from the screened-in porch is so pretty, and you can hear creek below. It was very quiet and peaceful, yet you can drive about 12 minutes down to the visitor's center for things to do. Schedule any pony rides or trail rides in advance of your trip as they book very quickly - we missed this! We walked through the horse barns (horses were out on trails or the pasture during the day) and our daughter loved petting the barn cats. You can drive to the Daniel Boone Trail-head on the property and hike - it is a pretty hike through the forest (also a horse riding trail). You can get a map from the visitor center. Consider bringing your flip flops for walking down to the lower deck for the hot tub. At the time of our stay, they did provide nice beach towels to use! I also appreciate the heavy curtains in the bedrooms for sleeping in. :-) A few minor issues that we had, but would not deter us from staying again: Check the bed sheets when you arrive - one set was not washed. One of your check-out tasks is to take the sheets off of the beds you used, and this was not complete for one of ours. If you need a cutting board during your stay, maybe bring one, as I couldn't find one (even though pictured). Upstairs bathtub had soap scum (very easy to clean but yucky for my young daughter to take a bath), water is a little rusty in just the tub/shower, and the drain is slow. (The shower downstairs is good!) Cabin could use a deep clean for dust under beds/furniture, light fixtures, etc., otherwise everything else very clean! We really enjoyed our stay at Bennett's!
