The Space
Like all short term rentals, we were forced to shut our doors to abide by the Governor’s Shelter in Place order, but we are REALLY looking forward to summer and autumn on the summit. We have made a number of changes for your health, safety, and confidence, 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;
-at least for a while, we’re putting away decorative extra pillows and throws.
-all comforter covers and even mattress pads (along with normal sheets and pillowcases) will be washed after every guest.
Make reservations now, while prime weeks are still available.
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. Enjoy walks or ride bikes on paved streets through the neighborhoods. The Lodge stocks four adult sized bikes for guest use! Miles of biking and hiking trails, mapped and well-marked by Royal Gorge XC, surround us. The dirt roads and trails that extend beyond Serene invite you to explore numerous small remote mountain lakes above 7000 feet. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the valley nearby. Lodge guests enjoy the uncrowded home owners beach at Serena Lake, just down the hill. It is all sand and offers numerous picnic tables, grass area, bbqs, and a sand volleyball court. The Lodge kayak is there, waiting for you. Guests will find kayak paddles and seats, several sizes of life jackets, a half-dome quick set-up shade tent, in the Lodge garage. The swim area is roped off, and has an inviting sun/diving platform calling you. It’s like turning back the clock...
