Serenity Farm House Inn

This place is a little piece of HEAVEN! I surprised my Husband for his birthday and we both fell in love… The grounds are beautiful and views are amazing. each cottage has its own design… Breakfast is delicious! We can’t wait to come again

If you need a weekend away from stress, frustration or the daily grind of life, then Serenity Farmhouse Inn is your sanctuary. Spent two nights and found a quiet restful secluded location to enjoy my wife’s company and a stress free weekend. Spent our nights in the tasteful richly decorated Poet’s cabin. The surroundings were peaceful and uncluttered by crowds or screaming kids. In the morning staff deliver a perfect breakfast tray to our veranda where we enjoyed a quiet breakfast watching deer prance across the courtyard. There are plenty of extra curricular activities in the surrounding Hill Country, with plenty of casual shopping for the wife’s pleasure. Or simply relax in the hot tub or by the pool. The owners and staff are very friendly and most helpful, always ready to make your visit a memorable experience. Serenity Farmhouse Inn is an exceptional retreat away. Will definitely return in the immediate future.

Nice stay, but could be improved.
We stayed 2 nights at the Rocky Creek Retreat in the resort village area, full price and not from a Groupon deal. The grounds were nice and well maintained with cute décor. The hot tub was clean and the cover looked brand new. As we left Monday, I heard them cleaning other hot tubs. We enjoyed our 2 kitty visitors that hung out and ‘talked’ to us. We saw deer, a tarantula, and a fox roaming the property in the evening. Lots of butterflies and birds, and wasps. Breakfast was served promptly at 9:30 each morning, and it was divine. Sunday we had chocolate covered strawberries atop a small bowl of fruit, with champagne and glasses of orange juice, a boiled egg, a cinnamon roll which I believe was made from croissant dough, and bacon. Monday we had cheddar scrambled eggs, sausage links, a blueberry lemon pound cake slice, peach jam, biscuits, and orange juice. I wish it were served earlier, but we were aware of that at the time of booking. Be forewarned — the roads that lead throughout the b&b are very rough with significant bumps and deep gouges for small cars, so drive slowly. Another note on the vehicular aspect — you are not able to park directly in front of this particular cottage. There is an area for you to park, then walk to your cottage. When lugging heavy luggage and in warm weather, it is a bit of a chore. When we arrived and I mentioned this, the lady who greeted us offered to use her golf cart to tote our bags for us to our cottage, which was very kind. The bungalows are pretty close together. We arrived about 10 minutes before check in time, and our bungalow was still in the process of being cleaned, which was expected to take 30 – 45 minutes. She offered us complimentary drinks and coupons to various restaurants in town if we would have liked to start there versus waiting, but having all of our things in the vehicle, we chose to wait for it to be cleaned. It took only 30 minutes, and she prepared a fruit and cheese plate for us since we had to wait. The very first thing I noticed about the bungalow was that it was very clean, from top to bottom. The bathroom towels were clean, soft and thick. Another thing, which I didn’t think to ask about, was whether or not they stopped in while we were out to refresh towel supplies. They didn’t, and we used 3 towels on the first night, leaving us with 1 bath towel. No fault on the b&b’s part. I wasn’t going to call late in the evening for 1 bath towel when we’d already brought 4 of our own beach towels. We had 2 a/​c units, one in the kitchen area and one in the bedroom. They got cold and stayed cold quickly. The floorplan and furniture set up were odd and not necessarily conducive to what you would use a particular room for. The TV was was mounted to a wall, that would you could a) watch from one wicker chair or b) watch with your head sideways from the couch. In the bedroom, there was in fact a queen size bed as stated. Unfortunately, it was set up sideways in order to make it fit in the bedroom. Instead of sleeping with our heads against a headboard, we slept with our heads against a wall. There were not blinds on the back door leading out from the bedroom, just a gauzy curtain. No shielding from the morning sun. There was little storage for our things — we had expected a dresser at least. There was one tiny closet, from which we were able to hang some of our clothes, but it was stuffed with about 5 huge pillows on the raised part where you might set a bag or something. Ultimately, we dug clothes and things from our bags daily rather than being able to stow them in a dresser. When we booked, we were told that the grotto like setting of the hot tub was private. Our ‘grotto’ was easily viewable from the two neighboring cottages. Private in my mind means not in plain view — it should be described as personal hot tub, not private. There needs to be some wasp patrol — we had an active wasp’s nest on our back patio, so enjoying the back patio was a no go. One of the back deck chairs was missing a cushion, and some old fencing like material was just laid against the back deck. One of the cabinets had a window drape just randomly thrown in. The shower door was completely off its railings. It has been this way awhile, as the linoleum is starting to pull away from the shower wall due to the long term leaking water. Also missing were smoke detectors. There were outlets, but no smoke detectors. There were 5 missing vertical slats from the sliding doors, which 1 or so would be okay, but that was a bit much. The kitchen window was cracked as well. The lack of storage, odd layout and the lack of maintenance on some things detracted from our stay. Overall, our stay at Serenity Farmhouse Inn was okay, but we intend to try elsewhere for the amount of money that we paid. I hope that their maintenance improves as it is obvious that they put a lot into getting the cottage built and decorated.

Serenity Farmhouse Inn is in a great (secluded) location, has wonderful staff, and very unique facilities. I stayed there for two nights with my significant other and we had a great time. We stayed in the Blue Fish bungalow, which has a private hot tub and very cute decorations and furnishings. Full kitchen facilities are included, although the drive to Wimberley for dinner is fairly easy. Breakfast, served each morning, is fabulous. Facilities (including hot tub) are fairly new and very clean.
Staff were very friendly and helpful (even so far as to give our car a jump when were ready to leave, as our battery had died unexpectedly!).
You’ll love your stay at the Serenity Farmhouse Inn.

This was my first experience at a Bed and Breakfast and Serenity did not disappoint! We stayed in the White Buffalo Cottage and it was so peaceful and relaxing. Not to mention, the attention to detail in the décor was charming and quaint. I didn’t realize the b&b was so far into the woods and not right near downtown Wimberley (about 7 miles out), but it wasn’t a bad drive at all. The breakfast tasted homemade and very fresh. My only minor complaints are that the hot water for the shower didn’t last long, the WiFi strength could be improved and also more outdoor lighting around the hot tub would have been helpful (even just christmas lights) since it’s pretty dark in the woods. I saw there were negative reviews regarding the owner but I have no idea whether or not she was there or if she helped me out at all. The staff was pleasant and friendly so no complaints there! Although it was a bit pricey, the entire experience was incredible and I’d definitely stay here again!

I am absolutely in love with the little Poets Cottage we stayed in last week. I really appreciate all of the attention to detail in the beautiful antique linens, fresh flowers, pillows, seating areas, bath tray etc. I could go on an on. It was a beautiful and relaxing retreat. It was in a wonderful central location for day trips to State Parks, great Texas BBQ, cute little towns and wonderful back roads. The view from the pool is spectacular. Nothing quite like a Hill Country sunset or sunrise either.
We really enjoyed the big Jacuzzi tub. It would have been nice to have a shower for quick mornings, but we made do. When the neighbors used theirs, their jets were so loud we could hear them. We could also hear the man’s booming voice at times.
Their breakfast was amazing and presented in such a lovely way. I wish we could have gotten it a little earlier. I think 930 is probably perfect for a leisurely vacation where you sleep in, but we were up and hitting the roads early. We did wait around for it one day and I am so glad we did.

My hubby and I stayed here for 2 nights in a groupon. Haley was the girl that checked us in and she was a delight, so sweet. We stayed in Rosie’s Retreat and loved it. Our room was clean, and we loved our jacuzzi. This place really made me smile. I loved the kittens and farm animals. The hot tub was a little too hot for us but the pool was refreshing at 10 pm. And the breakfast was really good too. My favorite thing was the muffins. We will definitely be back.

Serenity Farmhouse Inn was spectacular! The entire staff were all so welcoming and friendly. The daily breakfast was delicious and more than enough for two people to share. Our cottage was so beautiful and comfortable. The farm animals and the atmosphere were so relaxing and gorgeous. We more than enjoyed our stay and we do plan on returning. My boyfriend ended up proposing on the trip as well!

I can not say enough great things about our stay! We stayed in the poets cottage, its absolutely breath taking. it was super clean and was well stocked with what we needed. I loved the fireplace and of course the heart shaped tub! The breakfast (thats delivered to your door) was AMAZING! and there was more then plenty of food for two. Very delicious and healthy, the fruit salad reminded me of my grandmothers, made with all fresh fruit!
I hate that i forget the woman’s name who showed us around, but she was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of.
We will definitively be going back and I highly recommend this place! its a great couples getaway

We loved our stay here. We came in on a groupon. They had a deal for a 2 night stay for $ 199. We thought that was a good deal, but they add on a $ 35 fee for each night you stay, so its another 35% they add on in fees. We still wanted to go even though we were a little surprised at the extra fees that seemed pretty high (even though it was made clear on the groupon) and I have to say we were SO GLAD we did!
You cant get more relaxed than here. We stayed in the Poet’s cottage. It was gorgeous! The pool was nice and the grounds were nice also, even though they were doing construction on the other side of the property, it was not distracting.
The staff was very kind and accommodating. They made me feel like they really cared about my stay.
The only thing if I had to pick one complaint would be that the spa never seemed clean. They told me the woman cleans it every day, but it just never looked clean so we never used it, which wasn’t a big deal because the Jacuzzi in the room was awesome!
Oh, and best breakfast ever! We extended our stay and every morning it was different, brought to our room at 9:30am and we left the tray outside our door when we were done and they picked it up! You can’t beat that! We would love to come back.

We stayed at the Garden Hut. The cottage was perfectly clean and well stocked with everything we could need. The space was fantastic and we were able to get a good deal with a Groupon.
Breakfast was an incredibly pleasant surprise. Huge with lots of healthy (along with deliciously unhealthy) options. We looked forward to it every morning!
The ladies were very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely above and beyond what we expected. Located very conveniently between Austin and Fredericksburg. Wimberley is such a cute little town with lots of fun shops. Schedule a morning to check it out!
We will be back!

My wife and I were trying to decide what to do for out five-​year anniversary/​babymoon and stumbled upon this place via Groupon. After all the fees, it was still a fairly good deal, and we hadn’t been to a bed and breakfast before.
The inn is tucked away near the outskirts of Wimberley. It would have been nice if it was a little closer to town, but at least you get privacy. Each cottage is decorated in a unique theme and ours was romantic/​monkey. (Kind of odd, but charming.) Breakfast is included each morning and it’s very delicious. We got eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, bread and even champagne the last day. Our room also included soaps, bath salts, chocolates and a bottle of sparkling apple cider (you can get wine, but the wife was preggers). Unfortunately, the worst part of the trip was the bed, which was extremely uncomfortable, but they gave us extra pillows when we asked for them.
Aside from that, the grounds are pretty cool. They have a nice pool, hot tub and plenty of farm animals (including a bunch of cats). They’re also adding more cottages, which was the only other negative part of the trip, as it felt like a construction zone and we had to use bottled water for drinking and brushing our teeth (per management’s request). But overall, it was a nice, relaxing trip and I recommend them.

Serenity is a phenomenal B&B about 10 minutes from the square, but feels so secluded you wouldn’t think there’d be anything for miles and miles around. Views from the pool area are breathtaking. I started my morning by attempting to do some yoga, but I don’t know how to do yoga so I just sank my toes into the soft grass and did some stretches while the sun came up over the hills. The breakfast is outstanding– better than anything you could get in town. Gorgeous details in the cabins, lots of antique pieces among modern fixtures– even a fireplace! Couples heart shaped jacuzzi tub with fresh flowers and salts on the side– just too romantic. Someone around here must be an interior decorator. Wish the tub had a sprayer attached for rinsing your hair, but we just used a big cup. A real (working!) old school Coke machine is by the office. Cute cats everywhere. This place is the best. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect stay. Thank you!

My fiancé and I loved the place! The heart shaped jacuzzi is adorable, the location of it was just peaceful and breakfast on both mornings was absolutely delicious!
The only thing I was annoyed with was the running toilet, but everything else is perfect!

Last year we booked a wedding at Serenity and paid well in advance and signed a contract. We had problems from the very beginning. The invoice (Word Document, not really an itemized invoice) that came to us had a 2 night minimum for my guests. We were not told about this and had to call and basically beg for them to change it. It was over $ 200 a night. Every time one of my guests called to book a room, they were given the wrong price and then we had to call again to have them fix it. We were charged an extra $ 200 to change the wedding from Sunday to Saturday. That is BS. The prices on the «invoice» were much higher than on the website. A week before the wedding, they called to tell me the weather was not going to be great and we should have the ceremony under the pavilion instead of the pretty gazebo. I checked the weather every day and it was going to be fine. The weather ended up being perfect that day but now I realize the only reason they wanted to move it was because they only had 30 chairs and didn’t want to have to move them. That is also BS.
Day of the wedding, I could not believe how many things went wrong. So many things we were promised in our contract were not provided for our wedding. Firstly, we ordered a cake with a lemon filling, the cake had zero filling, just super sweet icing. We threw the rest away. The champagne fountain shorted out the night before (plenty of time to find a replacement) and they poured orange juice for mimosas from plastic pitchers instead of nice beverage containers. The wedding planner said that her adding an extra server made up for it, it most certainly did not. Most of the food was served from chafing dishes that apparently had no Sterno fuel in them because all my guests mentioned the food being cold. The tiny chocolate fountain they used froze (Because it was for indoor use only) and we were promised it would be set up in our suite later that night, it was then offered to us unassembled to take home. I have a good chocolate fountain at home, I don’t need some $ 30 one. The worst part about that is that the wedding planner came to me (THE BRIDE) 5 minutes before the wedding started to let me know it wasn’t working. Seriously lady? I was getting ready for my wedding and did not need that. There was nobody else you could have told? They didn’t even open the taped sand ceremony plastic containers and pour it in the glass containers. We had to rip them open at the altar. Very embarrassing, my dad had to get up and help. One of the heaters we were told we had to rent for $ 150 broke and they moved it to the side so my uncle had to fix it down on his knees in his suit. There were supposed to be decorations and rose petals down the aisle and on the tables, the only ones used were the ones I provided. The fresh fruits we wanted with the chocolate fountain was mostly fruit not in season and rotten bananas. Who puts bananas on a fruit tray? We did not receive the Iced Tea, mints, and nuts we were promised at the wedding. We were not given chocolate covered strawberries or rose petals for the tub in our suite. There was no curtain for me (the bride) to get ready without people coming in to our suite and seeing me.
We were offered a partial refund and accepted it, however, I will be much more cautious in the future when entering into any contract. I just wish a little more attention to detail was given on my most special day. If you book a wedding here, just beware, it will not be very important to the owner. The only communication we received was e-​mails about payment. A little more emails or phone calls to keep in touch with me before the wedding so everything could have gone smoother. I will say for the B&B that it is a beautiful property, neat animals to feed, the most amazing breakfasts, and adorable suites and cottages.

When you enter the Wimberly city limits the quote «a little bit of heaven», they are referring to Serenity Farmhouse Inn. It’s a wonderful getaway close to wine country. We were treated with wine and champagne while there. Me and my husband both got the full body sugar scrubs with massages. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look so mellow as he did after that massage!
The breakfast was delicious and I love that they bring into your room for you! The staff/​owner are very friendly and warm. We plan on making it a yearly thing!
The only down side is that one of the walls of our room was shared with the kitchen.
Other than that it was great! We were given bath balls for the heart shaped tub and fresh flowers everyday! It’s the perfect couples weekend escape!

My wife and (and our small dog) stayed at the Serenity Farmhouse Inn last weekend for a quick weekend retreat from the city. Our room was quite lovely: tile floors, a very comfortable bed, and, best of all, a huge heart-​shaped whirlpool tub. Our one night there was quite relaxing, and breakfast in the morning was delicious.
Best part: there are a few farm animals on the property, including some very cute donkeys and a large pig. It’s always fun to see farm animals.
My only complaint (and I’m not sure how this could have been prevented) is that there were a lot of wasps on the property. Our room had a backyard, but we stayed out of it once we realized how many wasps there were flying around. That said, we didn’t go to the Serenity to hang out in the backyard, but to enjoy a comfortable room and relaxing hot tub, so this was not really a problem for us.

Outstanding place. Nestled in the hill-​country outside of Wimberly, TX, my wife and I hopped on the motorcycle for some R&R after getting in on the living social deal. We got upgraded to the best cottage they had, and boyeeeeee… great rooms, spectacular bathroom; onsite couples massage. Breakfast delivered to us in the morning.
I was incredibly impressed, and will go back. Nice and quiet.

We had a coupon which included a «Lover’s Cruise» package (champagne, chocolate-​dipped strawberries and chocolates), which was quite a deal for $ 119. When we arrived we found a friendly woman in a truck who pointed us to our cabin, which is really a half-​cabin, so it’s a bit less private than you might expect. We had a welcome note taped to the door and the key in the lock. No check-​in, no check-​out, so it gave the illusion of just staying at a friend’s place, rather than being all official like a hotel. I like that.
The room was adorable, with funky furnishings and a strange assortment of books, including poetry and prose. We actually read some of them while we were there, and tried on some of the old-​fashioned hats. There were a couple of dead bees by the tub, which was a little odd (not so odd when we realized the property is full of bees, which is probably a good thing for the environment, but not a blessing while trying to dine outdoors in the morning). The heart-​shaped tub was as advertised, a nice whirlpool tub easily big enough for me and my bf to bathe side-​by-​side (and we’re NOT small). The champagne was Barefoot (one of my favorite bargain brands), and the strawberries were very good.
The breakfast arrived on an elegant tray, and it was a serious breakfast — eggs with ham, potato skins with cheese and fixins, fruit, pastries, juice — it was great. And the coffee maker in jar of coffee in the room (along with half and half in the fridge!) allowed for as much coffee as strong as we wanted. Nice. There was a fireplace too, and they sell logs for a fee. It wasn’t cold enough for us to light a fire, but I bet that would have been fun.
We were right on the edge of a small woods, which we explored thoroughly, and the property has lots of fun little visiting spots, tons of gazebos, a great round pool and hot tub with pretty lights at night, pot-​bellied pigs and even donkeys for your barnyard pleasure. We had a lot of fun scratching the friendly donkeys, but the pigs were a little intimidating (ugly-​cute).
We were also not too far from Wimberley proper, where we got a pizza to go and explored the quaint shops.
Our primary complaint (aside from the bees, both dead and alive) was the early check-​out time (11 a.m.). By the time you have your breakfast, you basically have to pack-​and-​go. It would have been nice to enjoy our morning a bit more. To be fair, I did not inquire as to whether we could check out late. Next time I will.
Overall, we had a fun, very relaxing time. I would definitely go back (preferably with a coupon).

My boyfriend bought a coupon for this place and took me for my birthday. We had an overall enjoyable experience here.
Pros:
1. Secluded area where the managers left you alone the whole time. Check in was them leaving your key in your door and your name taped on the window. I thought it was a cute idea, and I felt safe pulling up and finding our room. I can understand how it might be potentially dangerous though.
2. Clean, well-​lit rooms with working utilities. I really enjoyed the heart shaped jacuzzi. The water was very hot and stayed hot for us to hang out in the tub for 30 min chatting. The TV was working for us, however, the room next door could not get their TV working. They called the woman in charge and she came in a timely manner to fix the TV, but was unable to. The room also had a microwave and a fridge. No wifi available. Soap was provided, but bring your own shampoo. Plenty of towels were available.
3. Breakfast delivered to your room. Our breakfast came at exactly 9:10 (early, the stated time was 9:30 delivery.) The muffins were delicious and the breakfast was very filling! The sausage and eggs were hot still when we sat down. There was also fresh cobbler and orange juice.
4. Gorgeous little town of Wimberley. We ate at The Leaning Pear for dinner.
5. With the coupon, we got chocolates, chocolate-​covered strawberries (4 pieces), champagne (not bad tasting at all) and cupcakes on our arrival.
Cons:
1. When my boyfriend bought the coupon on livingsocial, it was under the «Austin» city category. This place was not near Austin. We were expecting to be able to go into town for the evening, and this place is located 35 minutes away from San Marcos. This wasn’t a problem for us, we simply altered our plan and spent the evening in Wimberly and San Marcos, but I thought it was a bit of a stretch to say this place was associated with the Austin area.
2. Closest movie theater was 35 minutes away, in San Marcos. This was merely a matter of location, and not much of a setback.
3. Walls were a bit thin. When we woke up in the morning, we could hear the couple chatting next door.
Overall, the place has pretty grounds with friendly cats running around and little pigs in pens to look at. There is also a pool for the warmer months. It is easy to find and close to downtown Wimberly so there are restaurants and little shops to go to. For private couples who wish to have a romantic weekend where you won’t be bothered very much, I definitely recommend this place.
