Fantastic stay in snow covered Soda Springs

We had a wonderful time skiing and playing in the snow with small children in tow on a 3-day trip. We so appreciated that the house was fully stocked with spices, sleds, snowshoes, and shovels, etc. Everything we needed! Easy drives to donner ski ranch and sugar bowl, and the neighborhood sledding hill was a hit. Josh and Julie were communicative and all was smooth. Thank you for a great stay!

Really enjoyed our stay

It’s a very cozy and well maintained cabin, with plenty of room for everybody. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials and the owner is very generous to share the cooking supplies with guests. There happened to be heavy snow the week we stayed there and we loved to hike in the snow with the snowshoes that the owner kindly shared with guests.

Serene Lakes Annual Family Gathering

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, even with all the smoke! A huge thank you to the owners who offered to refund us a day of our trip if we wanted to leave early which I thought was very generous. We we're having such a great time we decided to stay. The house works perfectly for multiple families with lots of living space on each floor. We enjoyed using the kayack and paddle board and couldn't find a thing we needed missing. Thank you so much Josh & Julie for opening your home to our group. We hope to be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Josh Baker

Julie and Josh are originally from the Midwest (Minnesota and Michigan) and currently live and work in Reno, NV. We have five children between the ages of 17 and 24. We are both PhD biologists (evolutionary biologist and biophysical chemist).

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the outdoors, hiking, and skiing (both kinds) and stumbled upon the idyllic hamlet of Serene Lakes one summer looking for new hiking trails and fishing spots. We immediately fell in love with the serenity, the community, the lake and beach and are now thrilled to own a place in this quiet paradise away from the hectic and over-crowded Tahoe scene.

What makes this property unique

Our house is on one of the quietest streets in Serene Lakes. We are two blocks in one direction from the boat house from where we paddle our kayak, paddle board, or paddle boat across Ice Lakes to the beautiful, quiet beach on the other side, fishing along the way. Two blocks in the other direction is Royal Gorge trail access for hiking, mountain biking, and skiing. One of the most popular sledding hills in Serene Lakes is just two doors down. The house is sturdy and spacious with beautiful views from three different decks. The 2nd floor kitchen and living area are updated and cozy, and the 1st and 2nd floors provide ample space for our large family to spread out when needed. Our kids love playing ping pong in the first floor rec room. We love to cook in the well-appointed 2nd floor kitchen, and we like the bonus kitchen on the 1st floor for extra fridge space or when there are many cooks feeding a crew. The timed floor heating in the kitchen feels luxurious when making breakfast on a cold morning. We looked at cabins in Serene Lakes ranging from uncomfortably ostentatious to cold and rustic. When we first walked into this place we immediately felt the perfect blend of a comfortable, clean, and spacious cabin that still had a woodsy warmth.
