Perfect fit for our getaway

This was our first time booking a place at Serene Lakes—the name fits this place perfectly. The home was clean, comfortable, well stocked with anything you might want and best of all so relaxing—a great fit for us. There were wonderful hiking trails nearby and the kayaking on Serene Lakes is so peaceful. Great hosts! - Esther

Wonderful Cabin and Exceptional Service!

We had a delightful stay in Brian's cabin for the 4th of July weekend. Brian was very helpful with the details and check-in before we arrived. On arrival, a plate of brownies and bottle of wine greeted us to a weekend of fun. Kayaks available made it easy to paddle on the lakes. Hiking and swimming kept us busy too. The cabin has everything you need for a vacation in the mountains! I highly recommend.

Better than on pictures! Lovely house!

We stayed for two nights while skiing at Boreal, which is just a quick 12-minute drive from the house. The kitchen was very well stocked (though some pans could use an update), and the bedding and furniture were both nice and comfortable. The house was warm, cozy, and extremely clean, making it the perfect place to relax after a day on the slopes. The thoughtful touches from the owners—like brownies and wine—made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated their hospitality and would happily stay here again!

Nice cabin in the woods

We had 6 adults and there was plenty of room for us. The home hosts had everything for us including brownies, wine, and lots of toys such as kayaks, snowshoes, and saucers. Close to many ski resorts and just around the corner from a beautiful lake. We all had a great time and are hoping to come back during the summer.

Family snow weekend

I would absolutely recommend this cabin to others! Brian made us feel welcome and communicated clearly. The cabin is well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The location is terrific: less than a mile from Soda Springs Resort, in a walkable neighborhood a short walk from the lake and from a sledding space for kids (Acorn Rd between Yuba and Cascade).

Wonderful getaway.

The property was very clean and inviting. The special welcoming treats--wine, popcorn and brownies--was a special unexpected treat. It was a short bycycle ride to the beach and the provision of bikes and kayaks was greatly appreciated.
