Testimonials

We really enjoyed our stay! You have done a great job with the house. Thanks for being here when we needed you and continued good luck with the great work you do. All the best!

Dear Greg and Jodie,

It was not a coincidence that God placed you in our lives when He did. Thank you so much for your compassion, prayers and hospitality. You touched our lives in such a positive way during such a hard time. You are doing such a wonderful thing here at Serenity House.

My experience these past 2 months was so much more bearable because I had a beautiful place to call home.

Thank you for providing a haven for me.

Love and God’s Blessings,

Katie Tardiff

Dear Greg and Jodie,

Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough. When we arrived we were exhausted and so upset. Your home has been the perfect safe haven during this time. We appreciate your hospitality more than words can say.

God Bless You,

Greg and Jodie,

Thank you so much for what you are doing for the people who GET to stay with you. I was there from March 20, 2012 until April 23, 2012 for a stem cell transplant. The setting of feeling like I was home helped me greatly in my recovery. What you are doing is so kind!! Everything was exactly the way it was advertised and Greg was always quick to come and check if we needed anything.

Thank you!

We have been here to spend time with Steve Baukol, our son. We have enjoyed staying at Julianna. It is well furnished with things we need. A good location with a good choice of eating places close by.

Jodie and Greg,

I have been staying with my brother, Steve Baukol. I so appreciated your kindness and hospitality. Your Serenity House Julianna was perfect for us! The setting and atmosphere is very home-like, and I know it will make Steve comfortable during his stay. Thank you for realizing that a place like this was needed for patients and taking the steps to make such a wonderful idea a reality!!

Thank you Kevin, Heidi, and Serenity House Network,

After 10 days in a hotel, we found SHN online and discovered the immense blessing of the Binkley’s and Red River House – a place of peace, comfort, beauty, and the warmth of a family home. No words can describe how blessed we feel at having had the experience of “home” to balance the gut-wrenching days at the hospital.

We have been blessed and wish all the best to those of you who cross this path.

God Bless Heidi, Kevin and Serenity House Network,

With deep gratitude,

Dear Greg and Jodie, Thank you for providing such a wonderful service to families that need a home away from home! You have been so helpful and accommodating to us. We truly appreciate it! It was wonderful to come back to a “home” instead of a hotel. Thank you!

This warm and welcoming house quickly became a home for us during our family member’s neurosurgical care at Mayo. Beyond allowing us to conveniently access the hospital and attend to the basics of our own needs – as two sets of parents and a 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Holly’s House also provided a nurturing environment for voicing the concerns and questions that preceeded and followed the surgery, as well as the prayers that we know aided the surgeon’s skills for providing a very positive outcome.

We’re very grateful to the Serenity House Network and pray that all future guests thrive as well.

January 15-February 17, 2012 Dear Greg and Jodie, Thank you for letting us stay at our home-away-from-home. Staying here allowed me to have family stay with us while I went through radiation and chemotherapy treatments. We are from Michigan and having a place like this to call our home meant a lot to us. I pray God’s blessings upon you and your families. Love,

January-February 2012

Dear Greg and Jodie,

Our family is so very grateful to have found the Serenity House Network. We were truly blessed to have met you both and to have a place to call our home away from home for so many weeks! You were very flexible and accommodating when it came to the “unknowns” of the transplant world.

Our journey has been a blessing in many ways and has been touched by God every step. Thank you for your many prayers and the sincerity you offered every time you asked how things were going!

Many blessings,

Dear Jodie, Greg and Sheryl,

Thank you so much for your hospitality in renting Erin’s apartment to us during Keith’s recent surgery. It was so comfortable and we thank you for completing it in time for us to stay in.

The size was perfect for our needs and it was a huge asset to be so close to the hospital. Thank you again for making our 2-week stay in Rochester so at home.

God bless you in your ministry to the sick.

December 2011-February 2012 “I was so pleasantly surprised at what a clean, comfortable, well-maintained house this is. The rural setting was just perfect for a small-town guy like myself. Yet it was less than 10 minutes from Mayo Clinic – the best of both worlds. Thank you so much for all.”
