We want you to feel at home in our cabin. The extent of our interaction is up to you, but we and/or our housekeeper will be available as needed to field questions or help out. We`ll send you our house manual prior to your arrival so that you can get acquainted and know what to expect.

For your convenience, we have provided a video playlist that is jam-packed with information and tutorials that will be your go-to for all questions and how-tos around the house.

Serene Lakes is part of the North Tahoe area that is located in the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, quietly nestled in the heart of Donner Summit. It is approximately one mile south of the town of Soda Springs and Interstate Highway 80.

Driving, hiking, biking, skiing - you can explore any way you choose! It might be a little hard to get a taxi though. Uber might come to get you?

We ask that you please be respectful to our neighbors by keeping the noise down after 10 pm
