Escape, Unplug & Unwind

Welcome to Muskwaki Pines, a hidden sanctuary in one of the South Shore’s best-kept secret neighborhoods. Situated in a remarkably quiet and peaceful residential enclave, this retreat is nestled in its own grassy meadow and framed by towering pines and golden aspens.

The layout offers a rare level of Tahoe privacy; while you are part of a welcoming community, the property is uniquely positioned with only one neighbor within shouting distance. Here, the morning alarm is the sound of the wind through the trees, not the hum of traffic.

The "15-Minute" Hub: Proximity Without the Noise

While Muskwaki Pines feels like a secluded wilderness retreat, you are strategically located just 15 minutes from the very best of Lake Tahoe.

The Shoreline: The crystal-clear waters and pristine sandy beaches of Lake Tahoe are only 15 minutes away. Whether you're looking to sunbathe at Pope Beach or launch a kayak into the turquoise shallows, the lake is at your fingertips.

World-Class Skiing: Shred the slopes at Heavenly Mountain Resort (15 mins), or take a short drive to Sierra-at-Tahoe (20 mins) and Kirkwood (30 mins). You are perfectly positioned to chase the best snow conditions in the basin.

Nightlife & Entertainment: When the sun goes down, the world-class Casinos and nightlife of Stateline are only 15 minutes away. Enjoy fine dining, live concerts, and gaming, then retreat back to the total silence of your mountain meadow.

Immersed in Nature

A View from Every Room: You don’t have to step outside to enjoy the scenery. The home is wrapped in large picture windows that frame the meadow, forest, and mountain peaks, letting you watch for Tahoe’s wildlife—including bears, coyotes, and migratory birds—from the comfort of the sofa.

The Scenic Stroll: Leave the car keys behind. An easy 10-minute walk through the pines leads you directly to the expansive meadows and the banks of the Upper Truckee River.

Outdoor Adventure: Pedal directly from the property to legendary mountain bike tracks like Powerline, Fountain Place, Hawley Grade, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.

This is truly a kayaker's paradise—from the river currents to the alpine lakes.

In winter, your grassy meadow becomes a private playground for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Your Mountain Sanctuary

Lovingly maintained for over 40 years, Muskwaki Pines blends lodge-style charm with modern comfort.

A Warm Welcome: Start your stay with our essential seasonal starter basket, curated to help you settle in the moment you arrive.

Gourmet Coffee: Enjoy the meadow view with a fresh cup from our dual-system coffee maker (drip or pod-ready).

Restful Nights: Two King bedrooms with plush pillow-top mattresses and a third bedroom with a Twin-over-Queen bunk—ideal for a full night of mountain rest.
Total Relaxation: Warm up by the wood-burning stove or soak in the 4-person hot tub under a canopy of stars, made even brighter by the minimal light pollution of your meadow setting.

Outdoor Living: Enjoy a private fenced yard—ideal for pets and kids—plus a deck featuring a natural gas BBQ (no propane tanks needed).

The Finer Details

Occupancy: Sleeps up to 7 guests (Max 6 guests over age 6 per El Dorado County rules).

Peace & Quiet: We honor our neighbors’ serenity with quiet hours from 10 PM – 8 AM.

Please observe all county parking, trash, and leash regulations.

Global Escapes: Love the mountains but crave the coast? Get you coastal cowboy on. Ask us about our sister property, Lucky Tree Ranch equine facility, featuring the Casita de Caballos, only two hours south of San Diego near Ensenada, Baja CA, México.

The house was perfect for our girls trip. The only downside was all the dog hair that was on our clothes through out our stay. We were constantly having to use a lint roller. My friend at one point had dog hair in her mouth. Besides that the house, location , and amenities

House was pet friendly minus all the snow so could not use the fenced in area in back of house . Hot tub needed to be shocked twice due to really cloudy water . Living room area under furniture and tables had debris, bottle caps and wrappers so could have been cleaner . Some dishes and mugs were put away dirty.

Spent a wonderful holiday with family at this wonderful Tahoe VRBO. Sue was a great host and was very communicative. She reached out with opportunities to extend our stay, and we wish we could have taken her up on her offer. The place had everything we needed, from the kitchen to the hot tub. It is also pet friendly and the neighborhood was quiet and had nearby trails so we could get the dogs some exercise. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay here again. Also the best feature is the wood burning fireplace. It kept the entire house warm and cozy!

The cabin was amazing for me and my friends for a quick little skiing/snowboard trip. We had to wash the bed sheets be more time before we slept the first night as we noticed some fur and hair. Another than that the stay was amazing!

Sue was excellent and super attentive host. We stay in cabins in South Lake Tahoe twice a year for over a decade. The house was perfect and had all the amenities we needed for a week's stay. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the location was very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this house if you want peace and quiet but still be close to the downtown life. We plan to stay here again in the future!

House was perfect for our stay, back deck was very enjoyable, house across street needs some TLC, and neighbor to the right seems to be passive aggressive by storing a bunch of building materials right next to the deck of the rental causing a bit of an eyesore. Owners were very easy to work with and property was as presented.

Had a wonderful stay here with our 6 week old daughter and our dog. It’s a lovely country setting with a nice deck/yard and beautiful trees visible out of the kitchen, dining and living room windows. Easy drive into town and to the lake, relaxing hot tub and good kitchen for making meals as well. Would stay here again!

The home is cute and very clean. Older furnishings and carpet but well kept. The beds were comfy and enough for what we needed. The hallway bathroom door did not shut well or lock which could be an issue for some, but being it was just our family staying there it was not an issue for us. Our dog loved it there and the enclosed back yard was great. The short walk to the trail and river was so beautiful and was dog heaven. We went oh a hike there everyday we were there.The hosts were exceptional and very responsive. When arrivedthe hotub looked less than inviting. The water looked cloudy and dirty. After contacting the owner they arranged to come out the next morning to empty the hotub, clean it and refill it with water. After that we felt comfortable using the hot tub later that night. Thank you to the owners for taking care of tge issyes that came up during our stay. It was quiet and a great place to star gaze at night. We enjoyed oyr stay. Thank you.
