Arcades, Sauna, Spa, Pool Table, Dreamy Chefs Kitchen: The Lodge

Newly built in 2018, this home certainly makes a statement! The owners have thought of everything, outfitting the entire home with contemporary furnishings and numerous high-end amenities.

Upon entering the front door you'll begin to notice the details in every direction you look. Walk up a few stairs to reveal the open floor plan with kitchen, dining, and living room all within view. Vaulted ceilings and large windows afford vast views of the surrounding unobstructed forest. Gather the group around the large flat screen television hung above the gas fireplace for movie night or head downstairs to try your luck at one of the many games in the epic game room.

Warning all chefs – you'll never want to leave this property. The owner has outfitted the entire kitchen with chef-grade Thermador appliances including a 6-burner stove with built-in griddle. An oversized refrigerator and freezer, slide out microwave, and pantry full of small appliances to ensure you're ready to prepare just about anything. The kitchen is anchored by a dining room table fit for a king and his court with sweeping views of the surrounding forest. A large deck complete with gourmet gas grill can be found just off the living room.

Head downstairs to find a large pool table, fireplace with television above, and a couple of upright arcades. Did we mention the beverage cooler and plenty of counter space for snacks? An adjoining deck plays host to a little seating area and covered spa. Again, expansive views of the tall pine trees surround you. Head further down the hall to find the large cedar sauna with adjoining shower stall.

When its time to retire for the evening, you'll have 5 bedrooms to choose from including a pretty epic master suite with king bed, fireplace, and connecting master bath that appears as if it belongs in a spa. Three other bedrooms with nearby baths host king & queen beds, another bedroom with a full over full bunk bed perfect for the little ones in the group.

Feeling adventurous? Walk to the nearby power line loop trail perfect for hikers and bikers alike. Not up to a hike, the property has you covered with Heavenly, the casinos, tons of restaurants and shops, and Lake Tahoe all but a couple of miles away.

Wonderful Property

We had an amazing time during our one week stay. The property was beautiful. Carpets were soiled in master and downstairs bedroom but otherwise everything was wonderful.

Fun Family Getaway

Property is as advertised. Enjoyed the chef's kitchen and game room/spa/sauna. Wished there had been more snow but no control over mother nature. No TV's in bedrooms, so plan accordingly. Very quiet and dark when sun sets. A little rigging on the child gate for the stairs was needed. but was effective for the toddlers. Great place overall!

Great Tahoe house

Overall, we had a great experience at this house. The house is great for a large family - we enjoyed the spacious kitchen and amenities like the hot tub and sauna. The house could have done with a bit of extra furnishing - for example, there was not a lot of lounge seating/couch space for a house of this size, there was only one towel per person (with no extras for the hot tub), and there were no flashlights when the power went out during a storm. Besides these points, we very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful spacious home, perfectly roomy for our group of 9.

Our family group of 9 enjoyed our short summer week at the Pioneer Trail house, we wish we could've stayed longer! The upstairs kitchen, dining and living room had plenty of space where we weren't on top of each other....more than enough room for multiple cooks in the kitchen. Amazing Thermador range can easily accommodate a large menu. The pool table and arcade games kept the fun going when we weren't exploring the outdoors. Loved the sauna as well! The house has no A/C and if left closed up during the day could get stuffy, but owners provided plenty of fans to cool things down. Beautiful finishes throughout. Beds comfortable. Very clean upon arrival.
