This is a wonderful haven in the middle of Cheese Country. I had a fantastic time--my life was changed, I recharged, and I learned a ton. I will never look at the world the same way again. The enterprise that Lisa and John have created is phenomenal and full of heart. I needed a break from consumerism and to reconnect... More

I can’t imagine a better place for city folk to start learning about living off the land. Inn Serendipity is a five-acre B&B on a homestead that includes an organic garden and a straw bale greenhouse. The unique and most valuable part of the stay is hanging with proprietors John Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist, who happily share their insights on... More

Once again you took very good care of us and provided a comfortable night in the Music Room. It is so nice to stay in a place that is free of the chemicals of the mainstream world. We don't eat processed food, we pursue a sustainable life, and we truly appreciate what you have done at Inn Serendipity. There was... More

Quiet, relaxing and peaceful place to stay with sustainable living inspiration all around you. Our evening snack (teas and carmel fondu with apples from the trees on the property) and conversation around the table with John, Lisa, Liam and another guest ranged many topics and felt like we were visiting good friends. They helped make our wedding anniversary special with... More

Thank you - thank you! We had a very nice stay at your place! The natural vegetable and flower gardens without chemicals were very refreshing, the sustainable energy production was very educational for us, and the fact that we didn't have to feel air conditioning nor listen to television was wonderful. We had the best rest that we've had in... More

This was our second trip to Inn Serendipity, and we're already talking about trying to find the time to go back. As the other reviews indicate, this place is equal parts bed & breakfast, family farm, and ecological project. Lisa Kivirist & John Ivanko successfully completed the process of making their home energetically self-sufficient a few years ago, but they've... More

Lisa, John and Liam are warm and amazingly gracious hosts!! Upon our arrival we were treated to homemade rhubarb soda, dip and vegetables - everything delicious and straight from the garden. It was both interesting and inspiring to learn about the amazing farm life Lisa and John have created. Little Liam was a delight and exceedingly sweet/patient with our three... More
