    10 Yr Anniversary Trip to Mammoth Cave

    August 31, 2012

    My wife and I wanted a nice two night stay somewhere that was less than 4 hrs away from Indianapolis for our 10-Yr anniversary. I looked at motels in the Cave City area and nothing was special enough. We had stayed in a B&B once before but was reluctant to again, but we are so glad we did. Serenity Hill B&B is so wonderful. Debra does a great job as the host. The breakfasts were great and always included breakfast dessert! Cookies were in the room after she cleaned in the afternoons which was a nice plus. It was like visiting a relative's house! The B&B is about a mile away from the entrance to mammoth Cave NP, but the visitor's center was 9 miles away which was not an issue as the scenery driving there was awesome. Deer and wild turkeys were everywhere. The rooms at Serenity Hill were very comfortable and extremely quiet! We had the Garden Room which was really nice! We will remember this forever!

    An Amazing Bed and Breakfast!

    January 28, 2012

    This was my husband and my first time in a B&B. It was superb! I booked the Serenity Suite for our 5th Wedding Anniversary, wow was it nice. James and Debra were so helpful and kind! We loved sitting outside and watching the many hummingbirds that came around while drinking hot chocolate. James and Debra were so sweet to give us a bottle of sparkling cider to celebrate our anniversary...it was such a sweet gesture :) We really enjoyed the whirlpool tub after a long day of hiking! Such a wonderful place, we will definitely be staying again! The place was great and the food was super!

    Serenity Hill Bed & Breakfast

    December 08, 2011

    We had a very nice stay here. Very nice & very generous with our rooms. They gave us the serenity suite for the same price to keep my family close although we had rented the upstairs room that was nice. VERY clean house. Nicely decorated. Lots of games to play and plenty of room for all guests to sit comfortably in the living room. Bathroom was very nice and clean. Nice white plush towels. The bed was extremely nice and comfy. Room was a little chilly at night, although electric blanket on the bed didnt seem to warm very well. There was a portable heater in the closet but we didnt know it. They offer several different hot teas & coffees which is very nice, but some complimenary cold drinks would be nice for those who dont drink the hot drinks. Water was provided but it was room temperature. Little dissapointed in breakfast compared to what we are used to at other bnb's. Chopped fruit, a piece of quish, and a serving of apple crisp and only one beverage choice apple cranberry juice for breakfast unless you made a hot drink. Just wasnt our "cup of tea" & what i thought a full breakfast would be.

    Peace & Quiet in a Beautiful Setting

    October 05, 2011

    This home is clean and comfortable. The home is a little deceiving from the outside. It is what I would describe as modest, however the interior is filled with wonderful antiques, collectibles & artwork. It is like a museum! The countryside is beautiful and the home is in a secluded setting, so it is very peaceful. We had the upstairs room, which has a wonderful view and was very comfortable. It is next to the owners living quarters, however, so if you are particular about privacy you may want to consider that aspect. I must say, though, that it is completely closed off, and we never heard a sound or even encountered the owners while in our room. It was NO problem, to us, but thought it was worth mentioning. I had read in the room diaries about the delicious breakfast, and wondered,just how great can breakfast be...Indescribable. Not your ordinary breakfast items. We stayed two nights and both mornings our breakfast was completely different and each item was something I had never had before! Debra lives up to her reputation!

    Truly Serene!

    March 23, 2011

    This was our first Bed and Breakfast experience, but it will definitely not be the last thanks to James and Debra. Extremely comfortable, peaceful, and the home-made cookies and breakfast were delicious. We highly recommend. The view from the Garden Room was an added bonus. James and Debra offered great advice and recommendations for things to do and places to eat.

    Best Place to stay by Mammoth Cave

    January 04, 2011

    We spent two nights at Serenity Hill and we loved it. Debra had fresh cookies for us every morning and I loved their selection of different hot chocolates. They went out of their way to cater to my husband's picky tastes and made us feel at home. The garden room's bathroom was so cute. If you are headed to Mammoth Cave defiantly stay here - we have stayed at several hotels in the area and from now on we will only be staying here.

    Will definitely come back!

    October 17, 2010

    Everything at Serenity Hill was perfect, but the food was head and shoulders above any other B&B we've ever been to. Will definitely be coming back.
