Above the Pines By Tahoe Getaways - Hot Tub, Pet Friendly, HOA 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 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.

End of summer visit

The property was spacious for 2 families and kids of various ages. We didn't go to the clubhouse (pool, playground, etc) as it was further away from the house than we anticipated, about 3miles, not bad but we were up there for the lake anyways. The house is way up in Tahoe Donner, which is a nice area in Truckee, but note that it is about 5+ miles from anything you might want to do in Truckee. Though in the winter it will be really close to the ski resort. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. House was well stocked with dishes, but could use more bath towels. I give the house 3 stars for cleanliness only because we had some issues with dishes & linens, but the property management was quick and responsive when we contacted them. I believe for the next person things will be taken care of. Bathroom was clean and bedrooms nice, which is important! I'd recommend this place.

Good stay

I liked staying in that house. We enjoyed the spa. We didn’t use the bbq because it was too dirty. We didn’t like the lighting too light specially at night in the dining room. I liked bringing my dog. But when I tried to do my workout on my mat downstairs it was smelling strongly the pee on the carpet. I imagine a lot of dogs peed there and it should be cleaned deeply. Same for the big spot when you enter in the living room it’s not very welcoming. I probably won’t come back because I needed to charge my electric car and couldn’t do it there. I’ll try to find a home where I can do it. We loved truckee !

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.

We had a lovely time with our life long friends. The house was nice, clean and met our needs for dining in. Unfortunately, it was very hot weather, no AC, however thankfully there were ceiling fans and other fans for our use.

The hot tub was cold and smelly. There was 1 hand towel and no broom. The managements response was to give a discount the next time we rent. Not likely!

Heavenly Getaway

This was our first "vacation" in about 5 years. The house was unique, very comfortable and well-stocked. Loved the extraordinarily large master suite and mud room entry! We look forward to staying here again, hopefully soon. Caveat for those not used to Tahoe - there were two blackouts while we were in Tahoe (during the huge atmospheric river event the weekend of 10/23-25). One for 12 hours, one for 24 hours! We were told blackouts can happen quite often during winter months. Luckily I always travel with battery candles, which came in VERY handy staying in an unfamiliar house. Travelers might consider bringing a few with them during the winter!
