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.
