Great host and location

One of the most beautiful locations in Soda Springs on a 'Serene Lake" very comminicative and warm host.We were 12 and the place was good for all of us with all the ammenties needed. Wifi worked great.Only feedback from some in the group was a few beds were not "firm".. other than that we had a great time. Kitchen was well equipped, grill was good and the host was kind to trust us with the canoe and bikes which some of us used.Even though it was a surprisingly cold wave - we got flurries in June... some of us ventured and took the boast out. It was very nice and the lake is calming.the neighbood is very friendly too with a mix of owners and renters.Thank you for sharing the property with us

Weekend Stay

The house was clean and the location is great. The kids had a great time and especially enjoyed the loft. The only complaint that we had was the beds, the mattresses seemed old and were not comfortable. But other than that we really enjoyed our stay there.

Winter fun at Capone house

The home is comfortable and warm for our 6 adult & 5 children's yearly winter fun. Hosts are responsive, helpful, prompt, and nice. Everything we need (except food & drink) are provided. We create and enjoy our own sled run on the property. We stay cozy inside playing games and being together creating memories.

First Stay at a VRBO

I was a little apprehensive about our stay since I had never stayed at a VRBO before and had no idea what to do or expect. Before I booked, I was messaging questions to the owner and she was extremely helpful which made me comfortable enough to book. The communication from the beginning to the end was top notch. It was exactly as presented, fit all of us (14) ranging from adults, pre-teen, kids and baby, comfortably. The snow was in abundance and we all had a great time. We definitely planning on doing this again and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Daughter

My daughter (in her late 20's) stayed with some friends from out of town to celebrate her birthday. The place was in a great location and very close to several local outings. The place was clean and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this place for a large group. Had everything needed to make the weekend special.

Grandson Cried When it was Time to Leave

We had three generations stay at the Capone cabin this weekend. It was our third time using this comfortable cabin, located in the midst of the Sierra Nevada's natural wonders. A beautiful lake to canoe/kayak, a charming swimming beach and park area, and quiet rural lanes to ride on bicycle. Everyone had a great time, and we were all sad to leave.

Great Place, Great location, Great value

We stayed with 4 generations of family. It is nice to be walking distance from the beach! Kids (2 and 4 yo) were able to safely bike and scooter in nearby cul-de-sac. The Capones are great to work with. Hope to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Capone

As a busy, active family from the Bay Area, we crave escapes to the mountains. That's why we created our haven in Soda Springs – a place to recharge and reconnect. We love spending time outdoors, and hiking, mountain biking, trail running, road running, and skiing are all easily accessible from our doorstep. Our spacious house is perfect for sharing this passion with others, offering plenty of room for multiple families to relax and reconnect after a day of adventure. We're excited to offer this incredible experience and a taste of our mountain life.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it's a virtually unknown gem. Nestled amongst the towering pines of the Sierra Nevada, overlooking the tranquil waters of Serene Lake, lies a peaceful community offering respite from the Tahoe bustle and Bay Area. It's aptly named Serene Lakes, as a sense of calm pervades the air. Here, you can simply walk across the street and launch a kayak, paddle board, or canoe, or cast a line and wait for a bite. While we love relaxing on the deck and soaking in the scenery, the abundance of outdoor activities beckons us to explore.

What makes this property unique

What makes Serene Lakes truly unique is the way it seamlessly blends exhilarating adventure with peaceful tranquility. Yes, our visits are packed with thrills - downhill skiing, laughter-filled sledding, peaceful cross-country skiing, and invigorating hikes. But the real magic happens when we slow down. It's the mountain biking trails right out the back door, the cool mountain air on our faces during a run, and the refreshing dips in the lake after a day of exploring. Evenings are spent sharing stories and laughter over dinners on the deck, all while soaking in the breathtaking views. This effortless blend of excitement and serenity is what makes it the perfect place to reconnect with loved ones and truly unwind.
