Beautiful and well stocked home. Communication was quick and responsive. Very detailed map with great suggestions on utilizing the area. Trails, lake, local food spots. Amazing front deck to socialize, eat and relax on. Highly recommend staying here and enjoying all that Soda Springs has to offer.
We come back to the Lodge every winter for a couple of weeks, so obviously we love it. We make fires in the wood stove every day, enjoy cooking in the open kitchen space, and cuddle in front of the TV at night. The hosts are exceptionally helpful.
Fantastic property, very attentive and considerate host. Our family had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this to others looking to stay in Serene Lakes.
The cabin was beautiful to start and then enhanced with flowers, poinsettias, and xmas decorations. The host is properly proud of their cabin and very welcoming. It is particularly well-located for cross-country skiing at Royal Gorge.
Our family had a wonderful and peaceful vacation at The Lodge. This home has everything we needed to cook meals. Serene Lakes is an amazing place, and to be able to use the kayak was great.
The Lodge is a perfect location for anyone wanting to stay in Serene Lakes and have a fantastic experience. Close enough to everything and yet far enough to provide the piece and quiet you want.
We spent time on the deck at night with the firepit ablaze sharing stories into the wee hours of the night making more family memories.
Would definitely return for another extended weekend.
This home was not only beautiful, but well equipped.
The garden and sculptures were amazing.
More than adequate space for a family of 7.
Host was very responsive.
We left Phoenix at 110 plus and spent a week in beautiful Lake Tahoe/Soda Springs. Our hosts were fantastic and their home was perfect and fit our needs exactly. This is the fourth year in Serene Lakes and this was the nicest location so far. We hope to be able to stay again.
The Lodge is impeccable. Very clean and well-appointed. We especially enjoyed the outdoor seating and fireplace. Hosts were highly communicative and caring. Top notch!
This is the second time we have stayed and it was perfect (again). The house is well stocked, comfortable, and kid friendly. The deck is definitely the highlight!! Serene Lakes is a great place for families in the summer. Michael was incredibly responsive and helpful!
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful area. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. The home is clean, comfortable and the perfect escape from day to day life. There were nearby trails we took advantage of and the lakes were beautiful. We would definitely return here!!
We had a lovely long weekend at The Lodge! Michael & Caryâs home was exactly as pictured and is perfectly situated just around the corner from Royal Gorge (5 min walk tk the main lodge) and a few minute drive from Sugar Bowl. Our crew enjoyed the wood fire to keep us toasty and the outdoor fit pit for roasting marshmallows!
This was such a great place to stay. The home was easy to find, super clean and very comfortable for the three of us and our two little pups. Michael and Cary have setup a beautiful home with everything you need. I loved the afternoon on the deck with the firepit, making the complimentary smores kit they provided. Definitely a must rent if you are looking for a great place to stay in Serene.
Our family of 8 loved this cozy home in the mountains. During our stay the area got 24 inches of snow and we still found plenty of opportunity to play outside, lounge around the fire and even made s'mores around the outdoor firepit. The home had everything and more (including the holiday decorations!!). We are definitely planning a return trip.
We had a wonderful stay! Everything about the home is lovely,clean,very comfortable, and thoughfully amenitized down to the details. The covered deck with gas firetable, adirondack chairs,and deck heaters is a huge bonus. So many extras here. The hosts were super responsive, helpful, and gracious. This place is a 10 out of 10.
We had a great time at this beautiful spot, and our hosts were so thoughtful. There's a highly detailed guide to everything in the home you might need, and they even pulled out the sofabed for us based on our group size, anticipating our needs! The house is cozy, kitchen is well stocked, and the location is perfect for a weekend out in the snow. Note that the King beds are quite firm.
Lodge owners are Michael and Cary. We are two retired public school teachers/administrators. The Lodge is a dream come true for us, a get-away relatively close to our Nevada City home, but in a âdifferent worldâ at 7,000 feet. We have two grown daughters and four grandchildren who we hope will build wonderful memories at The Lodge.
Two summers ago, driving home from a frustrating weekend at Tahoe tainted by high winds and waves on the lake, loud music blaring at Commons Beach, and an inability to get into any choice restaurants, we turned off Highway 80 and toured Serene Lakes. It was beautiful, quiet, peaceful. Friendly people walking their dogs waved, âHelloâ. Just two families shared the sand beach at Serena Lake. It was a âField of Dreamsâ moment: â Is this heaven?â It was love at first site. We worked with our realtor for months, looking at several places: too small, too large/expensive, needs a lot of work. This place was âjust rightâ, but possible for us only if we were willing to share it.
We love all the oak inside The Lodge. Comfortable seating for eight in the main living room complements the number of beds. We love the attention to detail in the building outside and inside. But, for us, itâs all about the huge covered deckâprotected on three sides, with the deck in front large enough to comfortably accommodate a large dining table, a small comfy seating area, and a large area with six oversized cedar chairs around a fire pit. Itâs a two-block walk up the hill to Royal Gorge. The local sled hill is two blocks down. Itâs a short bike ride to the swimming lake. Miles of trails surround The Lodge. Bluff Drive is quiet. Neighbors, when they are around, are very nice. Thereâs no place like it.
