Saxon Creek Adventure Lodge: Backyard Trail, Hot Tub, Pool Table, EV Plug, Forest Land

Welcome to our log cabin in the woods! Ideally located at the end of the street with access to Saxon Creek trail and endless acres of forest and miles of hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing from the front door. What we love about this home is the privacy and the feeling of being in the mountains and woods, with views of tall pines from inside, including from some of the bedrooms. Spread out between the two open-concept living areas, soak in the hot tub, find yourself in a competitive game of pool, warm up by one of the two stone fireplaces, prepare a meal for family in the custom kitchen, or just be lazy and lay around on our large sectional and watch a game or a movie. Although tucked away from the hustle and bustle of town, the cabin is also only 8 miles from town and 7 miles to Lake Tahoe, with very easy access to Heavenly, Sierra at Tahoe, beaches, grocery stores, and restaurants,

2,846 square foot higher end 4BR / 2.5BA home is allowed 15 guests (8 guest, plus up to 7 additional children 5 years old and younger). There are 9 beds (including the 2 twin rollaway beds) and sleeping arrangements for 12. Reach out to us about sleeping options if you have more than 12 guests in your group.
