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.

Everything was as described, the owners were quick to respond to the minor issues we had. The location is great, close to Heavenly (and Kirkwood), and yet very quiet. Five-minute walk from the cabin and you are in the beautiful forest, with miles of hiking trails, that were even easily hikeable in the winter (thanks to snowmobile tracks) - just perfect for walking your dog and letting them off leash. Will keep this place in mind for our future travels to Tahoe. ##### Maria I.

We were close to Heavenly for snowboarding but also close to many outdoor winter venues. Our trip was during the atmospheric river hitting California so we had to cut it short to not get snowed in (Tahoe was getting feet of snow at a time), and the owner was very flexible in shifting our dates to meet the storm. The place has everything you need and convenient to everything in South Lake Tahoe. Will definitely go again! ##### Craig W.

Check in & out were simple. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Lori G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah A.

And three of our four legged family members too. What a perfect spot for enjoying the natural beauty of Tahoe-and it starts right in your own private fenced backyard! We had some relaxing jacuzzi time in the evenings while the dogs roamed free in the yard. The real highlight was the hiking trails right beyond the backyard that led to the most tranquil meadow setting with the upper Truckee river running through it. Spent an entire day just enjoying the river and views that were within a 15 minute walk from the cabin. Most nature “esque” Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in! Will visit again. Thanks Sue & Neal for an awesome vacation. ##### Sarah A. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Misbah N. Dec 11, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Unsatisfactory We came here to spend two nights and only spent one night here as we got stuck in the snow. The host was being uncooperative and kind of rude calling us "foolish" for traveling here during a natural disaster even though we are not from this area, unaware of the situation and maxed out on our vacation expenses. ##### Misbah N.

One member of our party had to seek medical attention. We did EVERYTHING recommended to keep temperature down- it didn’t matter. Contacted property manager- they took no responsibility and didn’t care- don’t stay here- property is outdated and worn down. Steep stairs has pieces of the steps missing - very dangerous!!! Hot tub didn’t work properly. ##### Paul R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan F. Feb 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tahoe getaway This was our second time staying at this property which, we thoroughly enjoyed. The house is very well stocked with items you may need. The first time we stayed we had full use of the reclining features on the couch and was very disappointed that it was called out as a safety issue and disabled. I have an electric recliner & couch in my home with no issues. We are grown women whom know how to safely use electric furniture! Items of concern: Toilet off of mater needs to be reseated as it wobbles. Coffee maker needs to be updated. Provide some chip clips or rubber bands for sealing bags for freshness.

It is a beautiful location, is cozy, and is on a safe little road not far from South Lake Tahoe. We stayed during some big snowfall events. Prior to check-in, we got a message from the owner stating that our check-in might be delayed due to issues clearing roads, which we understand. At that time and after an 8 hour drive from San Luis Obispo, CA, so we decided to drive down the road and see what the cabin looked like to get an idea for what we would be dealing with later. Happily, the property manager and maid were both there, busy cleaning and clearing the driveway. They generously let us stash a few things in the refrigerator and we were on our way. When we came back home at 4:30pm, we were informed that the hot tub was not yet clean. We were then told by the property manager that, if it was alright, the next day she would come and fill it with new water. We understood and said we didn't mind at all. When we came home the next evening around 5pm, I noticed the same dirty water. I then messaged the property manager asking if she'd come yet. She said she had not and offered to come back first thing in the morning. We patiently responded that we were okay with that, although the next day was my wife's 40th Birthday (which she already knew). We mentioned that we had plans for that day and that it would be best if we got it taken care of in the morning. The next morning the property manager came to work on the spa. I helped as much as I could at every phase to move things along and to get it done. While the spa drained the property manager left to deal with some other property and said she would be right back. We left for 4 hours and came back and it was still unfinished and she was not there. We texted asking if she was coming back. Just before my wife's bday dinner she came back. Moments before she arrived, she accidentally sent a message to us (intended for her friend) stating "I'm just doing the impossible for the ungrateful". She claimed this text was in reference to someone else and I want to believe her, but I'm not a fool and the timing indicated otherwise. We are nice people. We are patient and respectful. We chose this cabin because of the hot tub (it is listed front and center when booking). Given the high cost of the cabin, our flexibility, and patience, I'm a little taken aback by the experience. She did apologize and everything else went well for the remainder. ##### Riccardo F. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristi I.
