Located on 22 secluded acres overlooking Little River,
 the babbling waters rushing around "Sandy's Rock" will provide the best night's sleep you've ever had! Built as an addition to the original Serenity Plus home, this apartment was designed with comfort and privacy in mind.

At an elevation of about 2,900 feet, this is a perfect place to spend your mountain vacation, whether it is winter, summer, spring, or fall. It's an ideal place for a honeymoon! The gazebo by the river and the sounds of the river make a perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding. Be sure to take the Vistual Tour (you may need to hold down Control key to disable pop-up blocker when you click on this link) for a 360-degree perspective of Serenity Plus.
