I have now stayed at Sereno Farms a couple times, and the experience seems to get better with each stay! I have to begin by praising ownership as they truly care watching them put their blood, sweat, and tears into the venue. Seeing something new every stay, and being able to hear new and amazing stories of what the venue offers and has done only excites me to watch Sereno Grow!!
In the world of hotels at every exit it was so refreshing to get away from the 4 walled rooms and have some personality with our vacation stays.
The owner was so knowledgeable as he guided us on a tour of the grounds we learned so much of the processes and care of the lavender field that they have on property. He spoke to us on the influences of the gardens, and how trips through the world brought this beautiful garden in the middle of Texas to be. (Just a hint: make sure you walk the gardens at night!! The lights make the evenings just perfect for thinking). Sitting around a fire at night and getting lost in the sights, and stories was a great way to spend evenings in the gardens.
You should defiantly try out the Mediterranean influenced food they offer, we enjoyed it so much we make it at our house now..
Sereno has impressed us and we will defiantly be coming back for more!!! Keep up the great work my family and I cannot wait for our...
Read moreI booked a guest suite here for my wife and I to stay at for a friend’s wedding. I booked it in the evening without consulting my wife. I told her the following morning and she asked me to cancel because she had bad anxiety and compound PTSD as the last time that we stayed in an AirBnB, the owner pulled a gun on us because somebody complained about our dog barking in our “pet friendly” cabin while we were on a hike.
I tried to cancel that morning, but the hosts didn’t get back to me until the next day. The offered me a refund of only $10 out of the almost $200 that I had already paid for the room. Asked if that was really the best that they could do and they offered to let us stay again some other time.
We were only wanting to stay there for a friend’s wedding and I had already explained that my wife wasn’t comfortable staying at an AirBnB, especially if it’s at someone’s home. I felt that a 5% refund after trying to cancel less than 24 hours after booking and weeks out from the date was a little unreasonable.
The host then accused me of cancelling because I was able to see a picture of the host after we had booked. I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean, but it’s extremely insulting.
Book at your own risk with these...
Read moreIf you are having a hot weather wedding, have it outside. We had the ceremony outside and it was lovely. We had the dinner and reception inside. The heat in the venue was intolerable. AC set as low as it would go but it felt like it wasn't working. About the bridal suite. The toilet wouldn't flush. There were no waste baskets. There wasn't a mini frig and no bottled water. Now the grooms suit The toilet wouldn't flush There were cob webs and spider webs above the bed. The shower fell apart as the groom was taking a shower. There were electrical outlets that had no covers. No waste baskets either. You will be charged to have the property cleaned aftet your event. It wasn't cleaned for us when we got there. The owners will tell you that you may pick your own vendors but they must be insured. They will tell you their preferred vendors. Plan on spending alot on their vendors. All in all, they will tell you that using them will save you money. ...
