We had a great time at this place for my stay with my friends. It had everything we needed in terms of beds, location, cooking, and price. Sauna and hot tub work great and are very cool addition to the house. We stayed in September and the weather was absolutely beautiful

everything perfectly perfect!
I'd like to express my immense gratitude for our stay in this charming home. Every detail made all the difference: the fully equipped kitchen was perfect for preparing our meals in comfort, the cozy beds provided us with a wonderful night's sleep, and each room exudes care, good taste, and warmth.I'd also like to highlight the support of the staff, who were always attentive, available, and kind—the kind of service that made us feel truly welcome. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and we already miss it. Thank you so much for everything!

Ski trip
We had a nice stay at this property, despite the rainy weather. Only two comments/suggestions:Could use another comfy chair by the fireplace,We couldn’t get the tv to work and even called the property mgr for assistance but they were unable to help. Usually not a big deal, but our NFL team was on…

Great time at the Serene Woodland Lodge
This was the perfect place to spend the long 4th of July weekend. We really enjoyed our stay here. The hot tub and sauna were clean and an awesome way to end the day. The house was well stocked to cook and we had plenty of space to relax. The location was really nice; near Tahoe City and walking distance to some awesome trails.
Only thing to note is that the house does not have AC. 90% of the year that is fine, but during a heat wave in the summer, the temp inside reached 80F. So if you are traveling with someone sensitive to heat, be aware of that.
