About this property
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 mid June, 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.***

A lovely home with plenty of ambiance and excellent amenities. Quiet, private location. Great base for day trips either around the lake loop road or to Yosemite. Short drive to all South Lake Tahoe restaurants, shopping, gaming and Lake Tahoe itself.
Great location next to a wooded area with trails. Very clean house with plenty of room. Enjoyed having white sheets and towels. Very nice bethroom amenities. Would definitely recommend this house
We had a nice stay at this South Lake Tahoe house. There is a lot of space for 2 families and the kitchen was well stocked. Some of the cabinets in the kitchen need repair and the oven/stove may need to be replace soon. The other appliances work great. There is a fireplace and a heater which was great during the cold winter. We had a nice time with our friends and the pool table was a hit.
