Great home base for winter adventures

This home was perfect for our two families with toddlers. Really nice to stay in a real family’s home instead of a company-managed rental. It’s a basic cabin with a great homey, old-school feel with everything we needed for fires, playtime, group meals and comfy beds. The walk across the street to the frozen lake was a magical winter wonderland and we found a great sledding hill nearby. Xcountry and downhill skiing options were right there too. The owner Alec was very responsive and super helpful with advice for the snowstorms we had while there. Can’t wait to go back!

Peaceful stay at Serene Lakes!

This is an older cabin that has the perfect cozy feel. Loved the big family sized table …. Was perfect for puzzles and games. Especially loved being able to use the canoe! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Alec

Our family has owned this cabin since 2010. We primarily use it in the winter for XC skiing but due to busy summer schedules with our 3 children we are not able to find time for ourselves. We are in the Sacramento area and just a little over an hour to Serene Lakes.

Why they chose this property

We are avid XC skiiers and bought our cabin due to its proximity to Royal Gorge. Outside of winter, we enjoy getting away from the hot temperatures of the Sacramento valley. We bought in Serene Lakes because it is one of the most family friendly areas. It harkens back to the 50's and 60's when kids could be kids and just play outdoors. There is a beach area that our kids spend hours in the water or just building sand castles. The nights are extremely quiet and you can see the Milky Way at night.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is just across the street from Serene Lakes. There is a view from downstairs and an even better one from the second floor large master bedroom. The street is level and, if you sit on the porch, people will say hello and maybe stop to talk with you.

The cabin was built in the late 60s and is the old style "big beam baby" with its large beams visible on the first floor. The second floor has vaulted ceilings. Open the windows and a nice breeze will blow in.
