Welcome To The Serenite Collection

Live your journey, however it takes form.

Nature-inspired, adventure-made.

The Serenite Collection was built with one purpose in mind; connecting intentional travelers with thoughtful spaces that prioritized Mother Nature, minimal living, and regulating the chaos that so often shapes modern living.

Northern California is a breathtaking place that is singular both for its lush and bountiful natural habitats but also its fragility. We understand the delicate balance and stewardship of these lands and have crafted a collection of hotels that aim to appreciate their majesty while also assuming responsibility for making sure they endure for generations to come.

Oh, the places we'll go...

The Serenite Collection focuses on boutique lodges, inns, and cabin spaces that are as close to nature as possible; blending rustic, charming details with modern amenities so that you can enjoy a simpler mode of life without having to give up too much of the comforts of home. With the Sierra Mountains located just beyond our various doors, you are never too far from your next grand outdoor adventure at a Serenite stay.
