'Snowflake Chalet' Bright, beautiful, spacious mountain retreat in Serene Lakes
About this house rental
Located in Serene Lakes, this attractive house for $604 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. * We are renting for stays of 31 days or longer. No short-term stays are available. This sunny, airy mountain home with hot tub is the perfect venue for a group of family or friends to enjoy the mountains. Great craftsmanship in the woodwork, stonework, and spiral hickory staircases, high ceilings. Large, plentiful windows offer views of the snowy trees so you really get the mountain feel. Located in Serene Lakes, just 5-10 minutes drive from Alpine skiing, walk to Nordic skiing. In summer, walk to Lake Dulzura, mountain biking and hiking trails. Located just before the Donner Summit for easy access from the Bay Area--you can skip the traffic over the summit and be on vacation sooner. The Snowflake Chalet is truly special. Custom built in 2006, it features a rustic mountain aesthetic while providing luxurious comfort in over 3200 sqft. Watch the snow fall on the trees from the enormous south-facing windows and decks. Stargaze from the hot tub after a day on the slopes. Stretch out in front of the fireplace in the living room. Curl up with a book in the window seat. Gather around the roomy dining table to enjoy a great meal prepared in the generous, well-equipped chef's kitchen. Have a dance party in the spacious game room (they won't hear you in the living room or bedrooms!). At the end of the day, flannel sheets and down comforters await you. The separate game room and plentiful bedrooms and bathrooms ensure that everyone has room to stretch out and relax. The 2-car garage means no snow and ice scraping when it's time to venture out. Our hydronic heat system keeps the floors warm and the air less dry than traditional heat. The Chalet is located in skiers' heaven! 13 minutes from Sugar Bowl for Alpine skiing and 4 minutes from Royal Gorge for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing (walk 1 block to trails if you already have a pass). Also nearby are Boreal, Soda Springs, Donner Ski Ranch. NorthStar, Palisades, Alpine Meadows, and Tahoe Donner are just a bit further. Our neighborhood sled hill is great for the kiddos, and a mini sled run can be made in the back yard (use our many sleds). In summer enjoy wildflowers, hiking, road and mountain biking right outside the cabin, as we are surrounded by a spectacular trail system. Take a short walk to the Serene Lakes for beach, swimming, canoeing (use ours), kayaking, sailing, paddle boarding, (bring yours) and catch-and-release fishing. Visit nearby Donner Lake for motorized boating sports and rental outfits. The Snowflake Chalet has room for 12 people to sleep comfortably (in real beds in rooms with doors). On the entrance level are three bedrooms, a full bathroom, mud room, laundry room and a shady deck with a wooden swing off Bedrooms 2 and 3. -Bedroom 1: queen bed (sleeps 2) -Bedroom 2: queen bed and 1 set bunk beds (sleeps 4) -Bedroom 3: 2 sets bunk beds (sleeps 4) The second floor has an open living room-dining room-large kitchen, a half bath, a sunny deck with hot tub and gas grill, a separate very large game room with ping pong, tv, a balcony and a full bathroom. -Game room: queen-sized futon couch could be made into a bed (there is a door for privacy and the futon mattress has springs and is comfortable).

Lovely home. Only possible enhancement: a king size bed. My son-in-law is 6'4" and would have appreciated a larger bed. The kitchen was especially well supplied.

We had a wonderful stay at the Snowflake Chalet. Such a great home for multiple families. The bonus room is a huge plus for both adults and children to play ping pong and games-we really liked how the bonus room is close to the main living space so it was easy to check on the kids. The family room is spacious and open to the large kitchen and dining area. The hosts were very responsive,helpful and gracious. Comfortable and lovely place to relax and enjoy!

Best snow vacation family time
We had a wonderful time in the snow. There was a sledding hill down the street and one right next to the house. The hot tub was a huge hit and watching our 85 parents play ping pong was a sight we won’t forget. There was something for everyone age 85,45 and 7. With a big dinner table for dinners together. The heated floor kept the huge house very cozy.

Great Location If You Want To Be By Sugar Bowl
This property is centrally located to ski areas. Twelve adults fit comfortably in this house. The kitchen is well equipped with everything that you will need to cook meals for your family. The rooms are spacious and there are plenty of bathrooms on each of the three floors. The jacuzzi was a plus after a day of snowboarding and skiing. Our families made many memories this Christmas at Serene Lakes.

Perfect weekend get-away!
This lovely home exceeded our expectations! It was well-equipped, spacious, and very clean. Kids enjoyed the game room. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. It’s somewhat remote. Cellphone reception is poor in the area but the house WiFi was great which allowed for us to communicate via iMessage. Thanks Karyn for sharing your home with us! It truly was a perfect family holiday retreat for us.

Refreshing Get Away
This gracious and well appointed home in the Serene Lakes Community is welcoming, comfortable and well designed for a family stay. Its location allows easy access to the nearby communities of Tahoe and Truckee, but for the most part we enjoyed the coolness, beauty and charm of the Serene Lakes Community. Besides enjoying this comfortable home with lots of windows to bring the outside in, we loved walking, Biking, Canoeing, Kayaking, and playing and swimming at the beach. Definitely a home we would enjoy staying in again.

This is our second year staying here. It is a wonderful cabin! Highly recommend it!
We love this cabin! Highly recommend booking it, except for the week we want it! 😂� The cabin is very well appointed with everything you need and/or want. Great having the hot tub during the winter! The cabin has a great layout and floor plan with all of the amenities a family could ever want. Ping pong in the game room is a blast after a day of skiing or sledding. We have stayed here for 2 years in a row and will be booking another week for next Winter. Maybe even a summer trip too!!

Beautiful cabin, perfect for families!
We had such a great time at the Snowflake Chalet! Our group had 6 adults, 4 young children, and 2 babies. The kids loved sleeping on the bunk beds and playing in the game room! The adults loved the beautiful kitchen, hot tub on the deck, and the perfect location for a couple days at the lake. We all had fun playing on the nearby beach and exploring in the canoe! Such a beautiful, clean, cozy, and well appointed home. Thank you for helping us make so many fun family memories!
