Capone's Lake Getaway at Serene Lakes, Soda Springs

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Donner Lake

Having known next to nothing about the Serene Lakes area, we agreed to visit a friend who recently purchased a cabin there. We instantly fell in love and decided to buy a place just down the street. It works out so well for us since we love the outdoors but also enjoy the serenity this place has to offer. It's a few hours outside the Bay Area but just far enough away from the madness at Lake Tahoe. We love it here and especially the fact that it accommodates large groups! So many memories....

The Unique Benefits at this Cabin

There are soooooo many activities that we end up doing throughout the year on our visits. There's downhill skiing, sledding, crosscountry skiing, bike riding, running, rollerblading, hiking, walking, swimming, canoeing, fishing, and of course overeating! However, the main goal is to relax and take in the fresh air with good friends and family!

Owner's Map of Donner Lake

We currently live in the Bay Area and enjoy the outdoors. We are a family of 4 plus one very old dog. Living in the Bay Area, we feel it's important to slow things down whenever we get the chance! Visiting the Sierras has always been an enjoyment for us and something we hope to share with our children for many years.

Thank you SO very much for renting us your home -- we had a terrific time, despite the little amounts of snow. We've been renting houses up in the Serene Lakes area for several years and we all agreed, your home was the best, hands down -- it's a great location, funky layout that actually works, incredibly well-stocked (generously and thoughtfully)..... Thanks again - we hope to stay there again sometime this winter. Will be in touch!

After leaving the cabin, all of us want to come back. It's very close to Soda Spring ski ranch. There is no much snow these days. However, our kids went to ski and very happy about it. All kids are first time to stay in a cabin. They were very enjoy and wanted to stay more days.

We wanted to tell you we enjoyed your cabin/home and had a great time. You have a very nice cabin. We canoed, kayaked, rode bikes, admired some of the cabins/mansions in the area, went on a 5 mile hike at old Donner Summit, rock climbed at old Donner Pass, and went into Truckee for the art/craft show on Sunday. I ran across a mountain guide friend of mine on the rocks at old Donner Pass (Bela--the owner of ASI--you have his brochure in your cabin).

Had an incredible sunny weekend. Still snow enough for side of the house sledding but warm enough for lots of canoe trips, bike rides and runs around the lake. It was perfect and filled with lots of fun and laughter, good food and drink, reading, sleeping and playing games - the best of both worlds! We can't wait to come back for more fun together!
