We've stayed in Serene Lakes since the early 2000s. This cabin looks into the woods, is biking and walking distance from the lakes. The kitchen is well equipped, the sitting area is good for 5 people, the master bedroom is spacious and the additional bedrooms small but functional. There was a minor plumbing problem with the upstairs bath sink, which we assume that the property owner will have fixed soon.The host responded promptly to our email about the sink, but did not have it fixed while we were there. Would rent this place again.

Thank you so much. Will love to have you come back again soon. Sorry about the mis-communication about the sink. I was under the impression it wasn't something you needed fixed during your stay and I didn't want to interrupt your time with handyman visits, etc. My sincere apologies. That is on me.

Getaway to the trees

As returning guests, we enjoy the location and the cozy, well-equipped cabin very much. It’s fabulous to be able to start a hike right out the door with our dog and also to take a short walk to the beautiful lakes.

Wonderful Stay!

This is our second visit to this cabin and we are already planning our next. Cabin is a bit rustic but meets all of our needs. Very close to sugar bowl, great neighborhood and a comfortable bed to sleep in. What more could you ask for? Owner is always great to work with and very responsive. Can’t wait for our next stay!

Wonderful Location

We just came back from 5 nights at this cabin. It’s not fancy, but the location is perfect and the accommodations are comfortable. The woods are in your backyard, we had a blast sledding steps from the cabin. Plus an easy drive to ski resorts. It’s on a court so we felt very safe letting the kids play outside. Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay and plan to visit again!

Beautiful, Serene Spot

The house backs up to Royal Gorge on a cul de sac so it's very quiet. We made lasagna in the oven and fires in the wood stove. Everything worked nicely.

Cozy, Comfortable and Quiet Serene Lakes Cabin

We stayed for an extended time at Julie's lovely cabin and really, really enjoyed ourselves. It was a perfect set up for a mix of adults and tweens. The wood fireplace kept us warm and cozy, and the beds were extremely comfortable. I think our favorite part of the cabin was the built in benches and big table - perfect for games, puzzles, family meals, and hanging out. And the access to Royal Gorge trails (you need a trail pass) literally right behind the cabin was fantastic too. Highly recommend - we hope to return!

Great family getaway in the forest

We (family of 4, 2 children) stayed in this beautiful house for a last minute ski vacation. The house had everything our family of 4 needed. Plenty of space in the house, kitchen was well appointed, bedrooms were as described. We had no issues with the fireplace, the house warmed up in no time. Very close to Sugarbowl and the nordic ski resort (we did both). Would come again in the summer to go hiking.

A lovely spot

We have rented this house three times and always enjoy it. If you are a gourmet cook and rely on certain kitchen implements, bring what you require. But other than that, kitchen is well-provisioned and house was very comfortable for family of 5.

Great cabin that is not corporate owned, so there are some cobwebs and half-broken cabinet doors which we didn’t mind as there are many personal touches that we appreciated, such as an abundance of paper products for the bathrooms, soap, shampoo, and even hand lotion which is helpful in the dry mountain air. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, sugar, tea, and plenty of cooking utensils. Be prepared to split some logs and build a fire as it is the primary source of heat in the living area. They have plenty of firewood down in the garage with axes to split larger logs. Despite being a poor snow season, there was still enough snow right out back for my kids to have fun playing in it and using some of the provided sleds on the gentle hill that is right off the deck. The location is very quiet and backs up to forest and trails. If you make it to the top of the hill out back, there is a wooden bench that looks right at Castle Peak. There is a nice little general store in Soda Springs with plenty of grocery basics if you forgot something like we did but the nearest full grocery store is in Truckee, about 20 minutes away. We hope to come back next year when there will hopefully be more snow.

Thanks for the great review! Sorry about a broken cabinet door. Handyman is on it! No need to split wood unless anybody wants to--it is all split and fits in the stove. Hope to host you again.

Amazing location

Stayed here for a weekend with friends. The location was perfect for XC skiing and snowshoeing, which was our reason to be there. Couldn’t ask for better. The space is larger than expected and the kitchen was fully stocked. Located on a quiet cul de sac. Super bonus that it’s a dog friendly house and that we were able to bring. Would definitely stay here again! Ps. if you plan to ski with your dog at royal gorge check their dog policy. They changed it for 2022-2023 which was super disappointing.

Very sad you were disappointed. I take pride in the house and being a host. Beds have clean sheets that are not on so that people, especially during Covid, know that sheets are clean. Posting states no live Tv, and that primary heat is a beautiful cast iron wood stove, although there are also electric heaters in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Nice cabin in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed for a great spring ski trip. Super easy access to Sugar Bowl. Everything was organized, clean and comfortable. I would love to go back in the summer or fall and take advantage of the activities that are right out the back door.
