The place was lovely and very clean. Only slight issue was a couple of stains on the upstair bedroom floor, which I taked to the property manager about.

Serene Cabin was the perfect getaway! The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, which included cooking staples like seasonings and oil. The kids loved the selection of games and puzzles. With a short walk to the lake and a quiet location, we would definitely come back.

Perfect Holiday Getaway

I highly recommend this cute cabin. It has all the amenities required and is pet friendly. What a wonderful surprise it sits right on the border of Royal Gorge with plenty of hiking for me and the pups! I had a wonderful trip and am looking forward to coming again!

Returning Guests

We've stayed at Forest View a couple of times now both in the fall and winter months. Great quiet location but close to both the cross country area, lakes and downhill at Sugar Bowl. Great amenities, clean albeit with some clutter, a well appointed kitchen, very comfy beds, good wifi ( I know we don't go to the mountains to watch TV but just to be picky the older Apple TV means some streaming doesn't work correctly and spent a bit of time doing IT )Guest services respond immediately and are very communicative ( but a bit more local knowledge would be appreciated; was told at first that a broken snow shovel could not be replaced, during our stay in the winter, but the local team replaced immediately after a quick discussion )

Great stay

Great 3 week stay while working in the area. Awesome area, quiet neighborhood. Clean house with comfy bed and clean linens. Fully stocked kitchen with toaster oven, coffee pot, kettle, all utensils, and pots/pans/baking sheets. General store in Soda Springs is well stocked and super convenient. Instacart and Amazon delivered here with no issues. Heat was controlled on thermostat and there was supplemental gas fireplace that worked great. Internet was surprisingly fast. I didn't do any video calls/meetings, but I was able to work and update my share drive with no issues. Easy parking, easy access to I-80. If you have a full size truck, it will take up most of the parking. 2 regular sized vehicles will fit in the driveway one behind the other. Two trucks or SUVs might have some trouble. Beautiful views out the back window in all weather. The only con was that the main level had a back window without any blinds or curtains, and the sliding glass door only had a sheer window covering. Not a big deal because they overlook the woods or out the side toward the neighbor, but i bought some cheap curtains to put up at night. Would be nice to have had access to a regular broom and dustpan during stay. There was a sponge mop and a vacuum that worked out though.
