Why the Owner Chose Gardner Mountain
You can Cross Country Ski, Bike, Hike or Snow Shoe right here, out our back door - without driving. Our neighborhood is wonderful. We are in the forest and we live on a deadend street, but we are only a short drive to the Casinos, Heavenly, Stateline, NV.
The private hot-tub is the newest edition to Towering Pines Lodge. Imagine yourself in the dark of night with 1000's of stars sparkling above, in silence all while sitting in 104 degree, bubbling water. Ahhhh, so sweet:)
There are many US Forest Service trails at the end of the street to the Best Beaches of Tahoe, Fallen Leak Lake, Camp Richardson, and the Beacon. In the winter there is even a groomed track for snow shoeing and cross country skiing.

Owner's Map of Gardner Mountain
We own a 4400 square foot Fine Art Gallery here in South Lake Tahoe, and because of this I know how important "details" are to creating a wonderful experience. I have worked hard making "Towering Pines Lodge" a retreat for your next vacation to South Lake Tahoe. This house is perfect for a couple or you can fill every pillow to the max, 9 people. Either way, for the price, I can not imagine what else you would need to make your vacation better. We often place our World Famous Artist's at "Towing Pines Lodge" so the house is loaded with more Ameninites than most, and because we have the gallery, of course, there is wonderful Artwork throughout. Our house is clean, casual, cozy and perfect for your next vacation:) Enough about us...rent our house!!

The home was very clean and nicely decorated. I loved that it was stocked with all the personal amenities that could have been forgotten at home (shampoo, lotion, soap, etc.) Everyone in my group had the same comment "my bed was so comfortable". I don't think I've ever rented a place where everyone was so pleased with the comfort of the bed. I could tell the owners take pride in their rental and I would definately stay here. If there was one draw back it would be the size of the hot tub. We would have preferred something larger, but other than that everything else was perfect and that is way I rate this property excellent.

We loved loved loved our stay at your home! Can’t wait to come again. Your place is so incredible – not like your usual rental – definitely a home in everyway. All the details – the fantastic art, the comfortable beds and linens and couch, all the supplies in the kitchen were amazing, your generous provision of shampoo, rinse and all the cleaning supplies. We also really enjoyed all the windows and loved sitting at the table and watching the action outside as we ate. The kitchen was so wonderful with all the counter space where several of us could work at one time. I could go on and on but we were so impressed with all your loving touches to make your place so unique not to mention the fabulous location.

My friends and I just stayed at Towering Pines for a girl's weekend. Everything was perfect! The house is sparkling clean, nicely decorated and homey. It has a well appointed kitchen and with the exception of a early rising bluejay, haha, extremely quiet. The photos really don't do it justice. The beds are comfy and you never want to get up from the couch. Thanks for a great stay Ashley! P.S. You have to visit their gallery, beautiful!

We stayed at the Towering Pines for a Mother's Day weekend getaway and it exceeded all of our expectations. The house is on a quiet, wooded street and the hottub was a perfect way to relax after a long day of sightseeing, gaming, and family time. It is really comfortable, really clean, and just a great home away from home. There is a lot of space in this house to come together as a group, but also have moments to yourself without being in eachother's way. This house is also perfect for older folks who may have a hard time getting around. There are two bathrooms on the main floor, and one of them with a walk in shower. This was especially important to us with my MILs leg condition. Thanks to the owners for such a perfect vacation home!
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words:) Hope you come stay again!

This house is absolutely amazing. We had a great time there. Just some advice though, before you hit the grocery store I would go to the house first and see what is already there. There is alot of community food that people leave behind that we did not know about. Also the location is awesome!!!! We had a fantastic time, and I am ready to go back even though I just got back yesterday. LOL! I highly recommend. You will NOT be disappointed!!!!!! Oh the wifi is a little slow, and cell service is spotty but all the better to get away from it all.
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words:) Hope to see you back to Towering Pines Lodge again very soon.

My parents rented this house for "home base" the weekend I got married in Lake Tahoe. The house was perfect there was 9 adults and had plenty of room! The upstairs master was great for us 3 girls, especially all of us getting ready on the wedding day! We also had a little reception here afterward with about 22 people and we had plenty of space. We had intended to use the back deck, since the forecas was 60 degrees, but when we got back to the house after the wedding it was snowing outside! Ashley and Marcus are the best to work with and were willing to help with my flower delivery since we live 8 hours away! Can not say enough good stuff, the walking trails are nice & we found interesting stuff on our walks. Location is great, close to everything. When we come back for an anniversary we will definately look this up again! Thanks Ashley and Marcus for helping make my day that much more special! Jodi(Nichols)Yates and Family

Many thanks for all the extras that you put in your home that makes it soo comfortable. We enjoyed our five days there so much, that we contemplated even coming home so soon. We all had plenty of room and our dog Carson was enjoying all the walks everyday. He also enjoyed being able to make friends with Sammy! Thank you for allowing dogs at your home. Many beautiful memories!
