About this property

Above the Pines - Hot Tub- Pet Friendly -Gym and Pool Access

Stunning views of the surrounding mountains, unique reclaimed materials, and unparalleled amenity access make Above the Pines a one of a kind Tahoe Donner vacation rental. This custom home comfortably accommodates two families or a group of outdoor enthusiasts seeking an adventurous mountain getaway.

Entering through the mudroom onto the main living level, you'll find an open floor plan which makes the spacious area perfect for socializing. Gather around the fireplace and wall mounted flat screen TV for a movie night, or meet at the large dining table for a family meal after a day on the slopes. The chef in the group will appreciate the open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and Silestone counters. Truly one of a kind, the cabinets are made of old pickle barrels from Colorado, corrugated metal from an old barn adorns the ceilings, and a barn door slides to conceal the pantry.

Off the main level, you'll also find a large, sunny deck overlooking the Tahoe wilderness with a gorgeous mountain view. After an day or outdoor exploration, you'll love coming home to the soothing hot tub. And in the warmer months, enjoy patio dining or just reading a good book as the sun sets.

When you're ready to turn in, all the bedrooms are separated from the main floor to ensure a restful night's sleep. Downstairs, you'll find two comfortable guest bedrooms and a full bath. A second family room shares this space as well, where guests can enjoy a movie or game of darts. Upstairs, the primary suite spans the entire floor, and features a King bed with high end linens, a beautiful ensuite bath, a flat screen TV and sitting area.

Nice house for group
This is a nice house for large family or group. The main level is nice with a large seating area and mid-size kitchen and dining. Bedrooms and rec room downstairs create a nice barrier for parents sleeping upstairs. Good for teens and parents. We had a few issues that the property maintenance came to address - heater not working in rec room and a burnt out lightbulb at the dining table fixture. I was surprised - or missed in the fine print - that I had to pay another $30/day for my 2nd dog. And when asking if an early check in was available, I was told there was a fee for that , which seemed a little opportunistic for more $. But other than that we had a nice visit.

Great location, but could be better stocked
Overall we had a great stay at Above the Pines, rooms were clean and spacious, hot tub was in good working condition, and the backyard was great for sledding. Only misses was that the main living areas didn't have good lighting, some of the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper, there was only enough dishwasher detergent for 1 load of dishes, and there wasn't any laundry detergent.

Comfortable, well appointed home in the woods
This house is large and very comfortable for families, with plenty of room to spread out. It was very clean with everything you need to relax, cook, and enjoy Tahoe. We had a couple issues during our stay, and the property managers were very responsive to our questions/concerns.

Lisa E., San Francisco, CA

Great stay!
We loved everything about this property! The design and amenities are wonderful, the bed in the master suite was amazing, and our dog loved sitting on the deck and looking for wildlife (not that he saw any, but hope springs eternal). Didn't use the hot tub but would be nice to have for winter time. If you visit in the summer be sure to hike the east perimeter trail, it's a great morning wake-up activity. My only suggestion is for the towels to be replaced. We will be back!
