We really enjoyed our stay at this home! It was comfortable and very well stocked with everything we needed and more. Plenty of room for our two families, too. The location in the Serene Lakes community was great with an easy walk down to the lake. The owner, Josh, was quick to respond to any questions I had which was really a plus. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks, Josh & Julie for hosting!

Wonderful Weekend

This is an ideal property for a large family. There was plenty of room to cook, dine, play and sleep. The kitchen had quality utensils. While we brought our own sled and snowshoes, the hosts generously made their snowshoes available to guests. You can tell this house is well loved and cared for.

Fantastic stay in snow covered Soda Springs

We had a wonderful time skiing and playing in the snow with small children in tow on a 3-day trip. We so appreciated that the house was fully stocked with spices, sleds, snowshoes, and shovels, etc. Everything we needed! Easy drives to donner ski ranch and sugar bowl, and the neighborhood sledding hill was a hit. Josh and Julie were communicative and all was smooth. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful Home & Wonderful Stay

Thank you to Josh and Julie for sharing your home with us. It was absolutely beautiful and we had a fantastic stay. The house came fully equipped with beach toys, towels, toiletries and kitchen staples. It was a very comfortable and super clean. I'd love to come back and spend another weekend in this house. Awesome location and not too far from Lake Tahoe either. It is a gem and highly recommend to all. The photos do not fully show how wonderful the home really is! :)

Great stay

Nice house that met the needs of our party of six. Good communication with Josh and Julie. The only thing that needs attention is the kitchen range. The electronic ignition is very quirky. We needed to use a lighter because, at various times, either the wrong burner was sparking, the burner wouldn't stop sparking, or it wouldn't spark at all.

Really enjoyed our stay

It’s a very cozy and well maintained cabin, with plenty of room for everybody. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials and the owner is very generous to share the cooking supplies with guests. There happened to be heavy snow the week we stayed there and we loved to hike in the snow with the snowshoes that the owner kindly shared with guests.

Serene Lakes Annual Family Gathering

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, even with all the smoke! A huge thank you to the owners who offered to refund us a day of our trip if we wanted to leave early which I thought was very generous. We we're having such a great time we decided to stay. The house works perfectly for multiple families with lots of living space on each floor. We enjoyed using the kayack and paddle board and couldn't find a thing we needed missing. Thank you so much Josh & Julie for opening your home to our group. We hope to be back next year!

Fantastic Serene Lakes House

This is an absolutely stunning house located in Serene Lakes - recently renovated with many updates. Fantastic kitchen - great for entertaining - with a gas range, large fridge, lots of useful and functional cooking utensils, and just in case you might need it, a second kitchen downstairs with a second fridge and oven! Lots of space, nicely appointed bedrooms, fantastic house! Thank you so much Bakers for letting us stay here!

Great House in a Great Location

We had a fantastic ski week. The house was very comfortable for our family and was well equipped with everything that we needed and didn't even know that we wanted. I was able to walk to Royal Gorge and the drive to Sugar Bowl was so short and easy. The house is much more spacious than the pictures would indicate. We'll definitely look to stay here again!
