Back Yard Trails, Forest Land, Hot Tub, Game Room

Summary:

Welcome to our log cabin in the woods—perfectly situated at the end of a quiet street with direct access to the Saxon Creek Trail, acres of forest, and miles of hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing right from the front door.



The Space:

What we love most about this home is the privacy. The true mountain escape feel, surrounded by towering pines with peaceful forest views from inside, including several bedrooms. With two spacious open-concept living areas, there’s plenty of room to spread out, relax in the hot tub, or enjoy a competitive game of pool.



Recently expanded with two additional bedrooms and one bathroom, the home now offers 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, accommodating up to 15 guests (8 adults plus up to 7 children ages 5 and under). With 9 beds plus a couple of twin rollaway beds, it’s an ideal retreat for multi-family groups, especially those traveling with young children.



While the cabin feels secluded and tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it’s conveniently located just 8 miles from town and 7 miles from the lake, with easy access to Heavenly, Sierra at Tahoe, beaches, grocery stores, and restaurants.



***The two additional bedrooms (each with a queen bed) and the 3rd full bathroom are being completed now. The project is on track to finish by early August, but there is a chance these two bedrooms and one bathroom will be delayed past that. Please reach out if making a May or June reservation and we can check and make sure the home is as desired before booking.***

The Neighborhood:

Our cabin offers the perfect balance of secluded forest living and convenient access to local attractions. You have direct access to the Saxon Creek Trail for hiking, biking, and snowshoeing right from your backyard. While you will enjoy a peaceful mountain setting, you are only three minutes from the local market and a short fifteen minute drive from the shops, restaurants, and beautiful shores of Lake Tahoe.

We recommend traveling by car to reach our mountain retreat as public transportation is limited. You have access to free on site parking for five vehicles, but street parking is prohibited. We provide a NEMA 14 50 outlet for electric vehicles. The cabin is located near Pioneer Trail, about a ninety minute drive from Reno Tahoe International Airport.
