Staff Corner
We would like to welcome Gabrielle and Judy to the Serenity family. They are both looking forward to serving our guests. We wish them a long and rewarding experience with us. We would also like to welcome back Char and Liz, two former staff members who just couldn’t stay away! We’re so happy they’re back, they were missed.
Our horseman, Ryan, has just returned from Oklahoma. He was there for two months going to school to learn how to shoe horses. In Ryan’s absence, Tina, one of our gals in guest relations has been taking our guests on carriage rides. She has been doing a great job!
Liz recently purchased her first new home, congratulations Liz! Connie moved into her new apartment. We all know where the pool parties will be this summer!
Beth and her family took a vacation to Florida and Kentucky. First time ever there were two “Goofys” at Disney world! Kim, along with a friend, recently drove cross country and through the desert to Las Vegas. We have no doubt that these two young ladies behaved themselves in “Sin City.” Welcome home to both of you!
Laura, the owner of Serenity Springs, has been battling with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) since last November. After several procedures and surgeries, she is slowly getting back to her daily routine. Thank you to everyone who has sent warm get well wishes.
Congratulations to Beth and Debbie on both reaching their five year anniversaries at Serenity Springs!

Animal Kingdom
Many of our feathered friends have hatched adorable little goslings. Come on our while they are still babies. They are so much fun to watch and feed!
Our Hens have been busy laying fresh eggs for our guests to enjoy on their grills in the morning. The roosters still don’t know how to tell time. They continue to cockadoodledoo all day! LOL
Speaking of roosters one of our roosters has found an attraction with one of our staff members. He likes to peck at her as she walks by. Anyone know a cure for this? Gabbie is trying very hard to do her job and take care of guests while being harassed by a rooster. Thanks goodness she has a sense of humor.
Kate and Butch, the Serenity horses, have shed their winter coats and are ready for spring carriage rides. Thanks to all of our guests that bring them carrots and apples.
We have also put op several Purple Martin bird houses. These fascinating birds individually eat more than 2000 mosquitoes daily. They will take a three month journey to arrive here from Brazil in May. They are here for only three months, having young at the end of their stay. They will then begin their three month journey back to Brazil.

Spring has Sprung!
Hi everyone. Spring has sprung here at Serenity Springs. Come and witness Mother Nature waking up from her long winter’s nap. The birds and the bees are doing their thing. The Canadian geese and the swans are mating. The fish in the lake, pond and channel are starving for juicy worms. The trees are budding. The deer are venturing out to forage for fresh new grasses. You can witness it all, without having to give up luxury and comfort, from the covered back deck of one of our beautiful cabins. ….
We start your Serenity Springs experience with a horse drawn carriage ride to your cabin and a personal porter to carry your luggage and explain all the features of your cabin. Don’t worry about parking; we valet park your vehicle for you. ….
You can fish from the bank in back of your cabin (no license needed) and then retire to take a warm, relaxing bath in your sunken whirlpool tub. You are relaxed and the fresh air has made you hungry; no problem. Order a catered in candlelight dinner from Damon’s Grill or put a couple nice steaks on your private gas grill. Everything you need is right there in your cabin. Now with full tummies, everyday stress melted away, how about a movie with surround sound or some quiet time sitting by your private gas campfire? You can even feed our geese and ducks with corn we provide. Buddy, our mascot, a big white goose, may even eat right out of your hand…..
You’ll soon see the truth in our motto “One night’s just not enough,” so why not stay two or three nights? The second day you can have an in room massage from one of our licensed massage therapist. You may even want to venture out a bit. You can visit one of the many area attractions. In 15 minutes or less you can be walking through The Friendship Gardens, Washington Park Zoo, Light House Place Premium Outlet Mall, playing a round of golf or dropping coins in a slot machine at either Blue Chip Casino or The Four Winds Casino. Then back to your cabin for dinner and snuggle in the comfy, king size bed…..
Want to stay two nights? You can get our multi night discount. Want to stay three or more nights, great! We are offering a “Spring Fling” special and receive valuable coupons. ….
Log on to www.serenity-springs.com, take a virtual tour of our cabins. Pick out your favorite cabin. Pick a date and call (219)861-0000. Speak with one of our helpful staff to make your reservation. ….
We’re looking forward to pampering you soon. ….
