Pioneer Trail Cabin | Natural Private Setting, Dog-Friendly, Fenced yard, Hot Tub, Walk/bike to trails

3 Bedroom Cabin in Pioneer Trail, South Lake Tahoe

Escape, unplug, and unwind in America's yearround playground, the Lake Tahoe Basin. Explore so much right from the front door of your own Tahoe getaway at Muskwaki Pines, situated off the beaten path, yet conveniently close to all that Tahoe has to offer.
When privacy, tranquility, and getting back to nature are the qualities you are searching for in your next getaway, then look no further. From the moment you step through the entry door, you will feel that you have found your mountain home away from home. Muskwaki Pines is nestled in one of South Shore Lake Tahoe’s best kept secret neighborhoods.
Conveniently tucked off of Pioneer Trail, this quiet area fronts the Upper Truckee River and meadow, a ten-minute walk from the house. The home’s peaceful setting has meadow, forest and mountain views. There is open space surrounding the property with both forest and meadow. Even though it is just fifteen minutes in any direction to Lake Tahoe’s attractions, you may not want to leave. Do not be surprised to see bears, coyotes, migratory birds, and even an occasional raccoon cruising the area.
Of course, nothing compares to Tahoe summers and winters. But do not overlook the shoulder seasons of spring and fall, our personal favorite times of year. With spring brings the snow melt when the rivers and creeks are brimming and the meadows are verdant with grasses and wildflowers. The birds are on their migratory path north.
During the winter and spring months, explore the Upper Truckee River meadow on snowshoes or skinny skis. Right out the front door, this hidden jewel of natural beauty and tranquility is used primarily by neighborhood locals. Or head off to one or all of the three world class ski resorts nearby: Heavenly 15 minutes, Sierra-at-Tahoe 20 minutes, or Kirkwood, 30 minutes.
In the fall months, the crowds have left, the weather is a little cooler. The hiking and biking trails are at their best. The fall colors start popping. Those migratory birds are now stopping in Tahoe on their way south. There is a special sense of calm during this time of year.
It is only a warm-up pedal from the front door to hopping onto some of the areas most renown biking trails, such as Powerline and Fountain Place. Or head up to Hawley Grade, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, or Angora Ridge. So many choices to name.
Not to be overlooked are the night skies. As the city of South Lake Tahoe is obscured by forest and elevations, there is minimal light pollution. The hot tub is the perfect spot from which to gaze up at our amazing universe.
Because this home has been the owners' primary residence for over thirty years, it is well stocked with everything you will need to make this your home away from home. The interior is furnished with comfy lodge furniture and Tahoe themed artworks. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and cooking essentials, so that you can spend more of your vacation time on vacation. The BBQ on the deck is always ready as it is hard-wired natural gas. No propane tanks to fill.
The home has a total of three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with comfy king-size pillow top mattresses. There is a twin over queen bunk bed in the third bedroom. The two bathrooms are conveniently laid out with a bathtub/shower combo in one and the other with a shower. No one will be left without hot water due to the tankless hot water heater. Conveniently, a fully stocked laundry room is off the kitchen. For those who must take their work with them, there is high speed wifi internet and various office supplies.
Lots of windows invite the outdoors in. Enjoy your privacy on the deck that overlooks the fences yard. Take in the fabulous sunsets while soaking in the four-person hot tub. Or just curl up in front of the fire and watch a good movie on the big screen Smart TV.
Our furry guests can romp in the fenced yard area with access from the deck. But that still leaves plenty of open grassy area to set up a game of croquet or bocce ball, or build snowmen in the wintertime.
Don't forget your mountain bike. We are are short warm-up pedal to some of Tahoe's world-class MTB trails. Or bring your beach cruiser and head to Camp Richardson. Hiking shoes are a must as there are too many trails to choose from within minutes.

Summary: I booked this place because it was pet friendly, had a hot tub, and looked private. The space itself is pretty dated, but has some modern updates with a nice kitchen. The location is great! The house was very clean. We did have someone who said they worked for the property stop by unannounced to look at a camera. That was a little weird since I was in the hot tub. Overall a positive experience and very comfortable.

Summary: My wife and I have been planning to visit Lake Tahoe for a few years and we finally were able to make the trip! Luckily for us we found the most amazing listing to stay for our vacation. The property is extremely cozy, with an amazing fireplace, hot tub (that works wonderfully) and enough room for all your family or friends. We brought our dogs with us and they had plenty of room to run around in the gated yard and play in the snow. They have a washer/dryer and a full kitchen with everything you need. I really do recommend you give this place a try! The property manager responded to our questions right away and we were never left confused or without help. The property is also a very short 7-10 minute drive from basically everything in the area, like the market, the lake or the ski resort.100 out of 5 stars if I could.

Summary: The house was perfect for our group of 62 dogs. Great to have a friend in backyard for the dogs to play. Hot tub was wonderful. Great communication with the owners, particularly when we had an issue with one of the heaters. They were very responsive and sent someone out the next morning to fix the problem

Summary: This was the second time my husband and I have stayed at this cabin. We brought our dogs to enjoy the snow with us. The hot tub was really nice to be in at night to see the beautiful stars. Inside was cozy and easy to make yourself feel at home. Owners are quick to respond and communicate well. Will definitely be back in the future!

Summary: Great location and owners. Checkin process was smooth. Owners were always communicating. However instructions are spread across too many places. We wanted to use the hot tub and there were 4 places to see the hot tub instructions and only one of them had the code for the lock. The bedsheets and comforters in master bedroom are old and so is the carpet. The fan had dust on it. Master bathroom is really small but functional. There is no heater in the bedrooms so you either get too cold if you close the door or too hot if you leave the door open. Kitchen has mish mash of plates, utensils and pans but it's adequate. Living and dining area is comfortable.

Summary: The house was a great location, easy to access South Lake Tahoe and a beautiful snowy location great for our winter weekend get away. A couple things that should be known if you go in winter are the heaters are outside the room so a night if you want to stay warm you have to keep the door open.which limits privacy and the oven has no vent over it so when we tried to cook a pizza the smoke detector went off leading to us having to open windows despite there being no smoke. 4 stars to the communication just because my mom tried to contact the number supplied when she arrived because the rugs by the kitchen sink were soaking wet and she wanted to let someone know but never heard back from anyone other than that the communication before was very thorough. Just a couple minor things to know, by our stay was great. The rooms are spacious, the backyard is fenced which was great for our dogs, and comfortable seating in the living room that allowed us to hang out and relax.
