Enjoy your morning coffee on the front deck or Juliet deck amidst tree tops, then spend afternoons hiking or biking through miles of trails surrounding homes in Serene Lakes. 10 Exceptional ### Entire cabin 4 bedrooms3 bathroomsSleeps 82400 sq ft ## Popular amenities - - - Air conditioning - Parking available - Gym - Dryer ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### The Lodge now with AIR CONDITIONING…one of few. Also STARLINK WiFI-internet Fall is our favorite time of year at Serene Lakes. Weather is easily 10-15 degrees cooler, often with a refreshing gentle breeze, that makes hikes, mountain biking, and quiet, surprisingly level, dog and people walks through the forest more comfortable Sept-Nov. Color in the forest is surprising. Discounts for multiple nights. Best restaurants in Truckee are available. Very few people here. Great, relaxing, rejuvenating weekend. Perfect for Vets Day and Thanksgiving. We have made a number of changes for your health, safety, and confidence, during COVID, including: \-no more back-to-back reservations...so at least 30 hours between guests; \-we are significantly upgrading the work of an already outstanding cleaning crew to include sanitizing and disinfecting all touch surfaces—counters, handles, switches, controls. Make reservations now, while prime weeks are still available winter, spring, summer,.and fall. Thankfully, Serene Lakes is NOT overcrowded during summer, like Donner and Tahoe, but even here, life is a little slower and quieter spring and fall. We are finding that people are making inquiries, then their dates are getting taken if they don’t book right away. We know that is frustrating! Serene Lakes remains the best kept secret in the Tahoe National Forest. While Truckee and Tahoe are crawling with people, our little community serves as a quiet, peaceful, safe get away. Tucked behind Soda Springs in a surprisingly level little hollow surrounding two natural, clear, clean spring-fed lakes, we are a perfect family retreat. . The Lodge is just a few hundred yards down the hill from Royal Gorge, the largest XC ski center in North America. Miles and miles of marked, groomed, cross country trails surround homes in Serene Lakes. All these well-marked runs become hiking and biking trails spring, summer, and fall—miles and miles of them. Start each morning out on the front deck with coffee, or up on the smaller “Juliet deck” in the tree tops, off the upper King bedroom. During quiet evenings, roast marshmallows, and enjoy a beverage seated around a fire pit on the largest covered deck in Serene Lakes. Comfortably BBQ on a new Weber on the covered side deck. Great restaurants, watering holes, and shopping await in Truckee, just 15 minutes down the hill. Check out the Donner Party Museum just below us at the end of Donner Lake. Inside The Lodge, a well-equipped kitchen provides new plates, cups, and glasses; a new 8 qt. Instapot; new coffee maker; new toaster; new nonstick pots and pans; a new electric Jennair range; and new microwave. The Lodge has two masters with new king mattresses, each with auto head lift features. Snuggle into new hypo-allergic Primaloft comforters. The kids will enjoy their bunks with the same Primaloft comforters. There is a bathroom with shower on the main floor, serving one king master. Another full bath with tub and shower is on the third floor serving the bunk room and upper master, which offers its own small private covered deck. A n55” 4K internet streaming TV can be enjoyed relaxing on the new front room furnishings. YouTube TV, Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, and Apple TV provide lots of options. YouTubeTV provides access to live sports, news, and broadcast networks. WiFi internet is accessible throughout the lodge for all guest devices and accommodates Zooms for kids’ distance learning and parents’ work while at The Lodge. Full-sized washer/dryer is also downstairs, with a third shower and third water closet next to what we are calling a “bonus room”.We moved in a log daybed (twin) with another trundle twin into the bonus room. We’ve also added a desk to accommodate distance learning and adults who have to spend a little quiet time connecting with work. We have also stocked a new horse shoe set, volleyball, and new bocce balls for the SLPOA beach. Several board games and card sets are located on the third floor loft cabinet, along with a collection of adult and children’s books. We have a corn hole game for the Lodge deck. Little kids and big kids love the foosball table in the entry room. We have three adult bikes and a 20" bike for kids. A 2-person Hobie kayak waits down at the SLPOA sand beach. We have recognized that with climate change, it is now often in the mid-80s to mid-90s, even at 7,000 ft. Thus, WE HAVE ADDED AIR CONDITIONING--one of the few in Serene Lakes! At The Lodge, no more hot nights with fans blowing warm air across sticky sheets...just cool comfort. Guests are welcome to bring pets. We have a pet door leading to the deck, and we have plaid covers for the duvets in main King closet, should your pet be used to sleeping on your bed. We request, however, that guests not leave pets locked in the house or on the deck for extended periods. Guests will be responsible for pet damages when left unsupervised. We are waiting for you and your family. Come on up—-relax at little, in comfort. Play a little. You deserve it. The Lodge now features Starlink Internet, providing virtually unlimited, high-speed WiFi. Guests can enjoy faster, more reliable connections that support multiple devices and users—perfect for remote work, streaming, and staying connected during your stay. We offer a 10% discount for nights 3–4 and a 15% discount for nights 5–10 ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: No Smoking ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In the mountains - On a lake ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Foosball table - Gym - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycles - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89620000/89619700/89619631/0b613658.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rustic cabin by the lake & skiing with private sauna & game room - dog-friendly Serene Lakes - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.2 Very good 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=89619631&PinnedHotelID=89619631&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60700000/60691700/60691623/25007f22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Three-story lakefront home w/lake views, wood fireplace, high-speed WiFi, W/D Serene Lakes - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=60691623&PinnedHotelID=60691623&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76950000/76941600/76941553/517176e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene Lakes Cabin w/ view close to Sugar Bowl & Truckee Soda Springs - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=76941553&PinnedHotelID=76941553&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100550000/100541600/100541520/ef50ee27.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene Lakes Cabin w/ Deck: Dog Friendly!
