Serenity Heights - Peaceful Country Acres with Beautiful View in Every Direction

Enjoy the peace and quiet of Serenity Heights indoors and out. The unobstructed views of the vast timber, rolling hills, and breathtaking sunsets and sunrises provide the serene atmosphere for guests to truly relax in any season of the year. This spacious, lofted home is newly decorated in an upscale rustic western theme with almost all new furniture offering many comfortable places to be still or converse with others. Serenity Heights makes a perfect setting for couple's getaways, family staycations, Bible study retreats, sabbaticals, bridal showers, or work-related gatherings. Every room in the house has unique and functional qualities, but there are some favorite spaces worth noting. Four huge picture windows throughout the house allow for natural light and amazing views in every direction. The living room features a beautiful fireplace for a cozy spot to relax in the winter months. The huge kitchen is fully equipped for any large holiday celebration, or simply to brew your favorite individual Keurig K-cup. The master suite is not only beautiful, but also includes a very comfortable king bed, and a peaceful sitting room connected by French doors. A hideaway bed with a double-sized mattress is available in this sitting room. The master bathroom has a large tub/shower and a handicap accessible jetted tub/shower for our guests with disabilities. There is also a chair lift available for those who need help accessing the lofted part of the house. The loft is another large space for viewing miles of nature's beauty, to gather as a family, or to stream your favorite entertainment. For those who love to read or play games, the stately library features numerous books, games, and puzzles as well as a game table and comfortable seating. Both the loft and library have queen-sized hideaway beds. The bedroom on this upper floor has a sturdy queen/double lofted bed with easy access by wooden steps. Besides the master bedroom, there is a bedroom on the main floor with a twin daybed and twin trundle. This room also has a full-sized washer and dryer. Serenity Heights can sleep 14 guests in beds. We suggest sleeping only12 adults for your maximum comfort. Outside of the house, there is plenty of room to run, walk, and play. If relaxing is more your speed, we've got that covered as well. There are many outdoor spaces for guest to experience retreat from the stress of life, especially in spring, summer, and fall. The front covered porch is one of the favorite places for guests. The bed swing makes a comfortable seat or bed for viewing the scenery. The small metal table and chairs is also available for an outdoor eating nook. The large back covered porch with extensive outdoor seating and gas grill connects to an expansive uncovered deck with an outdoor table and chairs. A second story deck providing another table and chairs is accessible from the library. Finally, the large gravel fire pit with eight high-quality Adirondack chairs provides an amazing setting year-round to make memories around a cozy campfire. Don't forget your s'mores and roasting sticks!
