“Towering Pines Lodge” has 2 MASTER SUITES. The main Master is the only room upstairs and is a specious 500 square feet. The other 3 Bedrooms/2 Baths are on the ground level. A 280 square foot deck is in the backyard where there is Private Hot Tub, seating for 10 people, a gas barbecue, hammock, Horse-shoe Pit and tons of firewood.
We have a two car garage with direct access from the house’s interior. (Great for those snowy days when you don't want to unload your skis/snowboard or scrape ice from your windshield!) There is a washer/dryer available in the garage for guest use with soap provided.

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.
The Unique Benefits at this House
It is rare to find a house like ours for this price. The house is loaded with all the comforts to make your vacation wonderful. The house is super, super Cozy AND Clean which is a tough find for a South Lake Tahoe vacation rentals. Many of our clients have rented our house over and over again.
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!!
