About The Owner

Lake Tahoe is a special place. We have lived in Tahoe for over 30 years. Once you plant you feet you never want to leave. Max and Riley, our dogs, love to go to the Upper Truckee River and play in the water. As scuba divers, we have explored all around the shores of the lake. As boaters, we enjoy our outings in the summer on the big blue.

The Owner purchased this house in 1984
Why The Owner chose Apalachee

This area is one of South Lake Tahoe's best kept secrets of a neighborhood. It is off the beaten path with open space and fewer homes than most areas.

What makes this house unique

Private setting, Fresh Mountain Air, tall pines and a beautiful lake. The river and flower studded meadow is a short walk from the front door. Wildlife cruises right through the property.

Excellent Vacation Cabin

5 of 5
Submitted: March 9, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Me, my two brothers, and dog stayed here for a long birthday weekend, and it was perfect. Very cozy, 10 minute drive from South Lake, and in a beautiful setting. The house itself is older, but the heater and wood burning furnace kept it warm and made it feel very homey. The bathrooms are newer and the showers are hot. The back two bedrooms are down the hall with large beds (one with a connecting bathroom), and the third is just off of the living room with two twin beds. The living room is comfortable with two couches (WiFi and dish TV work great) and opens up to a beautiful view of the backyard. There is no house immediately to the left of or directly behind, so the deck area and hot tub are very private. The fenced area is plenty of space for the dog or little ones to run around and play in plain sight. The meadow (which is massive!) and river that are displayed in the posting are even better in person, and truly a short 5 minute walk away. The owners are extremely responsive and accommodating, and we will definitely be back. All in all, an excellent vacation setup.

Owner's Response: Those endless hot showers are thanks to the recently installed tankless hot water heater.

Great cabin...Owners Neal and Sue were very helpful with any questions we had...Our dog loved playing in the snow as we enjoyed the hot tub. Short distance to all area attractions. We would recomend this cabin to others.

Home away from home!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 3, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
The very clean, warm and thoughtfully complete home is a reflection of the quality of care provided by the owners. Every needed amenity, and more, was made available. We shared the spacious home with another couple and found plenty of room was available.

The evenings allowed us the chance to enjoy the outdoor hot tub while our two medium sized city-dogs enjoyed romping through the snow in the enclosed back-yard. The dogs also enjoyed the scent of the outdoors during walks that provided us with an opportunity to take in the views of the surrounding snow-covered hilltops. At night, in addition to the heating units throughout the house, we kept warm with a roaring fire in the wood-burning stove.

The residence is close enough to South Lake Tahoe (about a 10 minute drive) and yet far enough that you feel tucked into the hill-side in a residencial community. The nearby grocery store is very well stocked and you can even find a cozy cafe or two if you don't feel like making use of the kitchen. I will definitely recommend this property to friends and hope to come by soon to enjoy the accommodations again.

This is a nice little cabin in a location very close to Heavenly. The owners are very personable and polite. We enjoyed our stay.

The house could use a bigger, flat-screen tv in the living room and DVR capability.

Owner's Response: Thanks for your comments. We are listening and have now added a 42" flat screen LED Smart TV. We hope that you remember Muskwaki Pines for your next Tahoe stay.

Comfortable house in a great location!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 8, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
I have stayed in quite a few properties in Tahoe, and I think I have found my favorite. I have never felt as comfortable and "at home" as I did here. The house was just as described (probably better). It was very clean, and came with a wonderful book that not only gave great info about the house, but the neighborhood as well. The owner's were wonderful to deal with. The neighborhood is very quiet, and a few yards out the door in any direction pretty much leads to a trail....which made both me and my pooches very happy! The Upper Truckee River is just a very short walk and we spent many hours over the course of our week walking thru the meadow and along the river.

The house was plenty big for me and my two small dogs, but I went big due to the location, yard and most wonderful deck and hot tub. The bed was comfy, the living room genuinely made me feel "at home" and the kitchen had everything I needed. And the fireplace was wonderful!

The house is off the beaten path, but a short drive to whatever you might need.

If I had to "wish" for anything in the house, it would be a bigger, flat panel TV in the living room to go with the comfortable couch and loveseat and awesome surround sound system. Other than that wish, this house defintely gets an "A" in my book. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and I will definitely be back (as long as they will have me!)...
