About this property
Above the Pines By Tahoe Getaways - Hot Tub, Pet Friendly, Amazing Views
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 Tahoe cabin 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 of this Tahoe vacation home you'll also find a large, sunny deck overlooking the Tahoe wilderness with a gorgeous mountain view. After a day of outdoor exploration, you'll love coming home to the soothing hot tub. In the warmer months, enjoy patio dining or simply getting lost in 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 a game of darts. Upstairs, the primary suite spans the entire floor and features a king bed with high-end linens, a beautiful en suite bath, a flat-screen TV and a cozy sitting area.

ABOUT THE AREA
Tahoe Donner warmly embraces all who venture within its bounds, proudly standing as one of America's largest homeowner's associations. Spanning nearly 6,500 properties and boasting 25,000 members, this breathtaking haven encompasses over 7,000 acres in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains. Immerse yourself in the splendor of Tahoe Donner, where pristine natural beauty reigns supreme, with its striking pine trees, glistening lakes, and majestic peaks, offering a year-round playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
In the winter, Tahoe Donner transforms into a magical wonderland, enchanting visitors with an onsite family-friendly ski resort, a developed cross-country skiing area, and a snow play area where young adventurers can happily slide down the hillside. In the summer, take advantage of the championship golf course and clubhouse, or bring the family to one of the private swimming pool complexes. Don't miss the chance to visit the private beach club nestled along the shores of Donner Lake, where you can escape the crowds and engage in paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply luxuriate on provided beach chaise lounges.
For delectable dining experiences, look no further than The Lodge Restaurant & Pub, a renowned neighborhood bistro that has garnered numerous accolades. Offering breathtaking views and an abundance of outdoor seating, this establishment is an ideal gathering spot for family and friends. For last-minute grocery essentials, Z Marketplace has a curated selection of wine and spirits, a delectable deli selection, and a daily BBQ. Additional dining options include: Pizza on the Hill, Alder Creek Cafe & Bar, Marco Polo Grill, and Ski Grill + Bar.
For regular visitors, aka weekend warriors, Tahoe Donner provides a distinct advantage over other North Shore Tahoe locations, significantly reducing the travel time from the Bay Area by approximately 45 minutes. While others find themselves in traffic, you can settle in and savor your first cocktail in the comfort of this idyllic retreat. Tahoe Donner lies within a few minutes of Historic Downtown Truckee, 12 miles from Northstar California, and 16 miles from the renowned Palisades Tahoe ski resort.
