We enjoyed our stay at the Capone Getaway. This 5 bedroom/3 bathroom house plus a loft provided plenty of space for our family gathering. The kitchen is filled with everything we needed plus some. The location was perfect for us in Soda Springs. A few drawbacks were: (1) The cabin entry was very icy so we had to remove and de-ice the iced over rubber mats before our family arrived so no one would slip getting into the cabin; (2) Some of the beds were too soft and pillows should be replaced; and (3) There was a whole checklist that we had to complete before leaving, which seemed excessive. Otherwise, it was a fabulous long weekend.

Great location for beginner skiers
My family of 5 adults and 6 children stayed for 3 nights. It was perfect for us all. Kids loved having their own space in the loft. The place was clean and with a well equipped kitchen. We all had fun shedding on the Property behind the house. We skied at Donner Ski Ranch which was perfect for our beginner skiers and only 11 minutes away. Plenty of room for 3 cars in the driveway. Roads were well plowed since we received about 3 feet of snow over our three nights there. We may rent this property again in the summer since it is across the street from the lake. Glad we brought all our food because I don’t believe there is a major grocery store near by. The place is well used and well loved and very comfortable for us. It was a perfect winter getaway for our family.

Great location and cabin
Love the place and the locations but this was the first time I was at a place that required us to strip the beddings. Overall great experience!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Feb 2024
Thanks for renting with us. We have included bed-striping as part of our check-out process because there are 10 beds total and the amount of time it takes for the housecleaners to wash/set and clean the whole house can be tricky when the next renters check-in at 4pm. It leaves little time for any problems that may arise. So really it's about getting it turned around faster for the next guests coming in. Thanks for understanding!

Family vacation in winter wonderland!
We had a lovely time at the Capone cabin. There were plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. The house had plenty of dishes and silverware, lots of extra blankets, and a real homey feeling. We had so much fun making our own toboggan run on the property which was just as good as the lot across from the snow park. The snow park was very close by also, but we didn't waste our money tubbing there. We took a walk through the neighborhood on the relatively flat, plowed roads. Lots of families were out walking and walking their dogs. One reason we picked this cabin was because we planned to put Grandma on the deck so she could watch the kids play in the snow. We shoveled a path for her and she was able to enjoy the activities as well. We hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake and we have already penciled in some days next winter. Thank you Cynthia for sharing your mountain home with us.

The house had everything we needed, kids enjoyed bunkbeds , lower floor was great for family which brought grandparents. There was enough plates cups etc for our large group. Particularly liked mult hooks on walls in bedrooms to hang ski clothes to dry. Dining table was impressively sufficient for mult adults.

3 night stay…..10 friends attending a destination wedding.
We really only slept at the Capone house for three nights as we were attending a weekend wedding and attending related events all day and evening, each day. The house was very clean and had all amenities. We are sorry we didn’t have time to enjoy the canoe, kayak and bikes. This is an older home and dated but accommodated 10 adults very nicely. Loved enjoying my early morning coffee sitting on the deck watching the sunrise over the lake. The only suggestion I would make would be to replace the towels. Those in the house are very old and rough in texture. Oh and the bear box was completely full when we arrived. We didn’t cook so luckily we had little garbage. Thank you for sharing your home.

3 years in a row, wonderful family getaway
This is our family's third stay at the spacious Capone House. We enjoyed the recent upgrades and found the home to be overall cleaner than previous arrivals. The kitchen is well-appointed and had all the cookware and serving pieces needed for our large family meals. Weather was great and we enjoyed hours each day on the deck overlooking the lake. The neighborhood is quiet and the community very kind and welcoming.

House had plenty of room. Bottom floor as you come into house smelled bad, like mold, moisture. One of the bedrooms down stairs the white sheets were dirty, so the room could not be used and it was the main room that smelled badly and rug was wet. Other than that the home had what we needed and the stay was good.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Due to the unusual amount of snow this winter, we are dealing with an excess of water from the snow melt which is causing some seepage through the retaining wall and into the carpet. We have fixed the issue by diverting the water away and dried out the carpets. I apologize for the inconvenience and are grateful for the tremendous amount of water we received this year in California but not the issues that come along with it.

Amazing place and location with amazing property owners
We went with friends and family(4 friends and their kids) for a quick ski trip, the house and place was nicely kept and cleaned.. There was enough wood and equipments etc.. when we went it started snowing heavily and during our stay itself it snowed a few feet.. we were stuck but the property owners were kind enough to lead us on how to clean the cars, communicate with the cleaners and help the cars get out for us to leave a day after. Overall we had lots of fun in ploughing feets of snow from the cars and also in the driveway.. our first experience and probably ever lasting.. Owners even let us stay a day extra because of the hazardous weather and road conditions.. The only thing is that there are no cell phone signals so you will have to do with the wifi at home.. overall i will highly recommend to visit the property and would love to stay again.

Awesome home for families
The Capone Getaway was awesome on every level: a perfect place for our multiple-families snow holiday. The four five-year olds loved the bunk room (the parents did too!), the easy access to sledding by the lake, the proximity of ski school of Sugar Bowl, and the overall kid-friendly vibe of this family cabin. Plenty of bathrooms for our group of four small families, and a kitchen with everything needed to produce big meals for the many hungry mouths. Driveway was clear of snow, and there's salt and shovels if you need them. Cynthia was very responsive and helpful. Thank you so much for a truly memorable stay!

My family and family friends stayed at this property over a weekend - the location is close to Judah lodge. The house was well-appointed. They even had a pellet stove which quickly helped warm up the house, which was very chilly on arrival. The driveway was well shoveled despite 12-foot banks of snow and the kids enjoyed the sleds.

Great Labor Day Weekend!
We (8 adults and 6 kids) stayed at Cynthia’s Serene Lakes house over the Labor Day weekend. It was around 112 degrees in Sacramento that weekend, but only in the 80’s at Serene Lakes. Perfect weather, and the house stayed totally comfortable, to my surprise! Some of us even put on sweaters in the evening. Cynthia is an excellent host, promptly answering several questions I had prior to our stay. The house itself was wonderful!! We used all bedrooms, including that great loft, which the kids loved. They claimed it the minute they saw it! All the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and everything worked fine. We used the canoe snd the kayak all day long, both days. Again, the kids loved it. And the little beach is close by, a short walk, which was very nice way to end the afternoons. We used the gas barbecue almost every meal, which was nice. There were plenty of dishes, pots, pans, wine glasses, etc… we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Cynthia’s house for family get togethers. We all agreed we’d like to return and do it again soon! Thank you Cynthia for making your lovely house available! -Mike W.

Great get away for a multigenerational family.
The owners were very helpful and very quick to reply to our questions. Location was amazing. We enjoyed the canoe and kayak. We brought a double kayak and 3 stand up boards so all 15 of us went out together. Fun fishing swimming and biking. The cabin was organized and we loved the kitchen and the deck. Kids loved the loft upstairs. I wish the master bedroom had a comfy King size bed. All the others were okay with the bedding. Upstairs tv never worked, but kids had fun playing in the game room. We brought lots of games and enjoyed the time together. We enjoyed the train tunnel walk and a nice dinner at Donnor Ski Ranch. Great memories were made.
