I’m a local who needed a writer’s retreat. The Tree Top room had great views and various spots I could sit and write. The deck lands in a Texas Umbrella tree that still had flowers and offered a perch to several bird. The place feels remote, but is still very close to town. The room was adorable, met all of my needs, and was super clean. Most important for me is a comfy bed - I slept like a log. Dian has put her heart and creative spirit in to create a beautiful piece of property. The pool, hot tub, creek, and plant life made me feel like I was staying at a resort I had all to myself. I assume most people just come for the room, but if you are looking for a retreat, especially if you are into yoga, be sure to check out Dian’s retreat options as add-ons at serenityretreatcenter.com. She is intuitive and calming, wise and grounded. I plan to come back at least once a year to soak up all the goodness she provides. Thank you, Dian (and Jay)!
