A year-round, outdoor-adventure base camp, Sorenson’s rents charming cabins with kitchenettes and cottages in the woods, not far from the Carson River. It's a place to fully unwind and disconnect from reality – your cell phone won't work here. Sorensen's Country Cafe serves three square meals a day (dinner reservations recommended). Winter rates are higher than summer ones.
