The bedroom was spacious and beds were comfortable. It was big plus to have easy in and out drive way to the house. We definitely recommend this place!!

Wood stove FTW
Cozy little cabin. A-frame set up for ski trips and lounging after. We were a small group and it worked well. You could do parents and 3 kids and be comfy. The wood stove is easy to operate. The owner was also very communicative and proactively tried to solve a little appliance issue that we ran into. It’s not fancy and some of the electrical was interesting—old cabin stuff. The switch for the garbage disposal is right on the face of the counter top. That’s my only gripe. Downstairs is fun to hangout in after a day outside. Soda Springs area is close Sugarloaf. And the neighborhood is cute. Huge snow drifts this year. And there’s a friendly neighborhood dog who visits and was kind of fun. Wood stove kept the place perfectly warm and added some more comfy, rustic atmosphere. p.s. The driveway is a circle, and easy! I didn’t see that until day 2 :)

Sweet cozy cabin at Serene
