Permit #: STR23-8497
Occupancy: 10
No matter the season, this open and airy traditional cabin is ready to welcome you to Soda Springs! Inside, you'll find a central great room with vaulted ceilings, a cozy living area with plenty of seating and a TV, a dining table and chairs, and a well-equipped kitchen. An upstairs loft area has a double sofa bed for extra sleeping space, while the washer/dryer adds convenience during your stay.
Take in evergreen views from the deck, the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Or grab a sled and race down the hill out back. Hillside Haven feels like a private oasis within the Serene Lakes community, with forest views and undeveloped lots on either side. Enjoy an old-school but new-tech cabin equipped for working remotely and entertainment with high-speed Starlink satellite internet, DirecTV, and numerous streaming services.
Ideal for cross-country skiers, Royal Gorge trails are right across the street (92 groomed, tracked trails- over 140km). Downhill skiers can head to the Soda Springs Ski Resort (1.5 miles), or hit the slopes at Sugar Bowl or Boreal (5 miles). You'll love the mountain biking and hiking trails outside the front door in summer. Lake Serena and Lake Dulzura (the Serene Lakes) are a few blocks away for kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, or relaxing on the beach. For even more watersports and lake activities, you are under 10 miles from the shores of Donner Lake and 27 miles from Lake Tahoe. The town of Truckee is 15 miles away for dining and shopping.
House Rules
Guests must bring their own firewood.
While chains are required for all vehicles in winter, an all-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
The Donner Summit area gets a lot of snow in most winters; big snow storms may affect utilities, and snow loads may prevent access to decks.

Overall, our stay went well. The house was definitely rustic. And there was a terrible smell in the downstairs bathroom. When we were leaving at the end of our stay, we were heading out through the garage and I noticed a big hole in the drywall on the ceiling, right where the bathroom was above. So, probably something was going on, like a leak.
The beds were pretty comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked in terms of cooking utensils and staples like salt and pepper, etc. There were games, TVs and plenty of spaces for us to spread out. I even had an online class that I did upstairs in the loft area.
There were no explanations about the wall heating units in the upstairs bedroom, but we figured it out. A binder with some information would have been helpful. Not sure if maybe that was online, but I looked.
There were some difficulties with getting into the house, since the snow was piled up high -- both in the driveway and in front of the door we were supposed to enter to get into the house (leading to the garage). We couldn't use the stairs up to the front door since it was not shoveled and there was literally 6-8 feet of snow up there.
I'm not blaming the property for the snow, obviously! But, the driveway for this house was one of the only ones on the street that hadn't been plowed, which was a bummer. I called the property management group and mentioned it and they said they'd take care of it. When we were out the next day skiing, the driveway was plowed.
