About this place

3 bedroom plus a large loft, 2 bathroom cabin in Serene Lakes abutting the Tahoe National Forest. Surrounded by Royal Gorge & 7 min to Sugar Bowl!

Magical cabin in Serene Lakes. 3 bedrooms (each with a queen bed), 1 large loft (with 4 twin beds), 2 bathrooms, and a cozy, open, and connected kitchen, dinning, and living room.

Large mudroom to store all of your outside gear, leaving your living room free for board game nights and late chats by the wood burning stove. Brand new electric heat pump units also warm the cabin on toasty winter nights.

0.5 miles from the lakes in Serene Lakes, which are so lovely for swimming, kayaking, or sailing in. Multiple kayaks and stand up paddle boards available for our guests with 1 SUP and 1 kayak stored down at the beach.

Absolutely no parties. This

No smoking allowed

Absolutely no smoking or drug use of any kind in the cabin or on the property.

Parking Included

There is garage parking for 1 car in the winter and outside parking for 2 additional cars. There is no street parking in the winter (because of the county plows.) The county plows the neighborhood roads and we have a private snow plow service for the driveway. In the winter, there could still be large amounts of snow that you would need to shovel to access the garage or the mudroom entrance door.

Getting around

An AWD or 4WD car is a must in the winter. This is a neighborhood with some of the highest snow falls in all of North America. The cabin is a short walk to the lakes at Serene Lakes. In non-snow months, you can run or bike to Sugar Bowl. In the winter, we are a short, 7 minute drive from Sugar Bowl and you can literally walk or cross country ski to Royal Gorge Cross Country Ski Resort from the cabin.
