Welcome to the Triangle Lodge! A mid-century modern A-frame cabin tucked into the beautiful and peaceful lakeside community of Serene Lakes. Minutes away from several ski resorts, including Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Soda Springs & Royal Gorge. During the warmer months go mountain biking, paddleboarding, kayaking, and off-roading. Triangle Lodge is the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring this amazing area. This cozy cabin is perfect for families and couples (even your furry friends!)
The space
On the ground floor you will find the main living space: living room, dining room and kitchen. There is also one bedroom, one half bath, a mud room and a deck.
Upstairs you will find one bedroom, one loft bedroom that is open to the lower level, and one full bathroom.

In the living room there is a sofa that folds down to a twin-sized bed, two comfy leather chairs and a fireplace. The small TV is paired with an Apple TV (Netflix) and an Xbox 360 game system. We offer a variety of board games, puzzles, books and toys.
In the dining area, there is room for 6. There is a bluetooth speaker that pairs easily with your smartphone to bring your own vibe to the place.
The kitchen is as we call it "small but mighty" ...well equipped with all our favorite tools and appliances. You will find a microwave, blender with food processor attachment, toaster, hand mixer, waffle iron, pots and pans, baking dishes, muffin tins, etc. We love coffee and offer a variety of different coffee makers to brew that perfect cup. (drip, pour-over, french press, espresso, Nespresso, milk frother & bean grinder). We keep the kitchen stocked with basic items such as dish soap, paper towels, spices, cooking oils, coffee filters, hot chocolate & tea.
The mudroom offers storage space, along with a washer and dryer (we provide laundry soap & dryer sheets).
In the bedroom on the ground floor, there is a queen-sized bed with soft luxurious linens. The beautiful Blu Dot storage bed frame and nightstands have many drawers to stash your personal belongings. In the closet is where we keep many of our outdoor "toys" that we share with our guests.
In the bedroom on the second floor, you will find a california king-sized bed with a very comfy memory foam topped mattress, with soft luxurious linens. There is a small closet and a dresser for storage.
The upstairs loft space has one twin-sized bed. This room gets glorious light, a beautiful view and if the fireplace is lit… is toasty warm, making it one of our favorite spots in the house.
There is a 1/2 bathroom on the main level and a full bathroom with a shower/bath combo upstairs. We offer plush towels, a hairdryer, and even a few hotel bathrobes. We provide tp, tissues, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. There are also essentials stored in the bathrooms (first aid kit, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, lotion, etc.)
Heating: The main source of heat is a fireplace, and we stock the cabin with plenty of firewood. The home also has electric baseboard and wall heaters spread throughout the cabin. During the winter, we tend to use a combination of both types of heating: one or two electric heaters on the lowest setting to maintain the base heat level, and a fire in the fireplace because we love the warmth and ambiance it creates. The fireplace can heat the entire cabin by itself. The cabin is well insulated, and with a fire going we will often find that the cabin can get so warm we need to crack a window or two upstairs!
We have a young son who loves spending time in our cabin, so there are toys and activities that are appropriate for young children available.
There are quite a few grown-up toys to use as well...
- 2 Stand Up Paddleboards with paddles
- 1 pedal boat
- 2 water tubes
- 2 life vests
- 3 pairs of cross country skis (with 2 pairs of boots)
- 1 snowboard (with boots size 8 womens)
- 1 snow tube, 2 snow sleds
- 1 set of golf clubs
- 1 hockey stick
- 1 fishing rod
- 2 camping chairs
It should go without saying, but we are in the mountains, so cell service can be spotty around here. We have a signal booster installed which helps greatly with the cellular service depending on your provider (we have Verizon and it works great for us). We provide wifi with a strong signal and fast speed. The internet service tends to be quite reliable, however, a large storm could potentially alter the service quality.
