Great Vacation

Towering Pines is a beautiful home in a friendly neighborhood surrounded by that fresh Tahoe pine smell. This home is immaculate, well stocked, with lots of room for your items. Beds and couches are very comfortable. The fenced in yard is great for kids and pets. Enjoy morning coffee or afternoon cocktails on the beautiful back deck. The addition of a garage is a plus to store coolers, umbrellas, beach chairs, snow & ski equipment, or bikes. The location is great for all seasons with access to ski areas, beaches, nightly entertainment, shopping, and restaurants. The owner is very friendly and helpful if you have any needs! We're already looking forward to our next visit! .

Favorite spot in South Lake Tahoe!!!

We rented Towering Pines for four weeks, February to March 2024. I don't want to write a good review because I don't want to share this fantastic property!! Seriously though...Marcus is wonderful to rent from. Fixed a couple of maintenance items as soon as we let him know about them. Several feet of snow fell during our stay and he was out there with his snow blower clearing the driveway and front porch every few hours. Yes, he lives next door, but who cares. If your following the rules of the rental agreement what does it matter. We really liked that the primary bedroom is above the garage away from anyone making noise in the living room. Plenty of towels! Stocked with all the basic needs in the kitchen - soap, paper towels, community pantry with spices, lots of pots/pans, cooking utensils etc. Sleds in the garage. Full size washer/dryer. Lots of firewood for the wood burning stove. Our favorite part is the neighborhood. Regular walks to Fallen Leaf Lake, quiet neighbors, on a dead end street so the road isn't busy. Only 15 minutes to Heavenly. The fully fenced in backyard was key to have with our dog, who loved the snow. The hot tub was fantastic to get in after a day of snowshoeing, or skiing. We'll be back next year!!!

Towering Pines is a Treasure

My family has enjoyed our stay at Towering Pines for many years! It is an immaculate, well stocked, home in a quiet neighborhood close to all Lake Tahoe has to offer! Enjoy the peace and quiet of sipping coffee or wine on the back deck of the fenced in yard surrounded by beautiful pine trees! For more adventure, check out the many nearby activites! Within minutes you can access Pope Beach, Camp Richardson, many restaurants, Heavenly Ski area, bike rentals, fabulous hiking areas, Stateline Shops and Casinos, or even the grocery store. The owner is helpful, friendly, and responds quickly to any questions or concerns you may have. I highly recommend this home for your Lake Tahoe vacation! We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Great Winter Trip - highly recommended

Our family of 6 had a great stay at Marcus’s place! The house easily fit our group and was perfect for a long trip in the winter. The neighborhood is quiet and the street was picturesque with the winter snow. Marcus was easy to communicate with throughout and helpful any time an issue came up during the stay. We would definitely stay again!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Wish I would have read the negative reviews first. The owners live next door. Not advertised. We came for a celebration, peace, fun & privacy. Got none of that. Just stress & uneasiness. The creeper next door was either in the yard of the property we were leasing everyday with his barking dog, antagonizing my dogs, or he was staring at my wife & I every time we either left or came back if he wasn’t staring at the house while we were inside. The first night we arrived, I got a text from the owner “hoping that we made it fine,” but really wanted to tell us that our dogs were barking & to say that they “hope the neighbors don’t mind.” My response, “If you’re standing outside the house they are probably hearing you right now & that’s why they are barking.” I also mentioned that we stepped out for a minute & were heading back. The owner text back, “I took my dog out- (your dogs) probably heard her. Just giving a heads up- neighbors may or may not be as understanding.” My dogs were not barking after returning. Besides the creeper next door with the barking dog, the neighbors also had barking dogs & off leashes in the street. Apparently it is one of those, “it’s okay for us, but not for you” situations. Actually my dogs did not bark for the rest of the trip. I should have been more concerned when booking this reservation as the owner, Marcus, --although I stated that I have great reviews on VRBO & A-I-R B&B with my dogs -- said that he has been burned once before with dog owners & hinted at astronomically increasing the pet fee. Each day the guy next door kept walking his dog off the leash in front of the house staring at the house & us. I almost hit his dog in the street while off the leash while driving (guy was in the driveway next door). As I was backing up the truck, he would not stop staring. I got out & stared back. All he mumbled was, “How’s it going?” I did a little digging & discovered that the owner/owners live next door & also own an art shop by Heavenly. The creeper next door is Marcus, the owner. There were 2 reviews regarding this issue. The owner’s response was “Each year we invite 30 to 50 families stay in our home, they never felt that way” & “Most of our guest like the owner to be in a close proximity.” No they don’t. & this is 1 more guest who feels THAT way. It doesn’t matter if there are 50 or 1,000 guests; you have made 1 guest feel that way & now another & it was a problem before & continues to be one. We left one day early.

Fantastic location!!

The house was spotless when we arrived. Kitchen well stocked, plenty of towels in the bathrooms. The trees in the backyard are gorgeous. Lots of stores right down the road so you don't have to fight with traffic in South Lake Tahoe. We were pleasantly surprised to figure out we could walk to Fallen Leaf Lake. We had to run out and get ice cleats but it was so worth it. Having the hot tub was a bonus after a four mile walk (2 miles out and back from lake). Neighborhood is very quiet. Lots of people out walking their dogs. It was nice having the primary bedroom on the second floor all on its own, very quiet. Even though the short term rental permit is up in April, we will definitely consider coming back for a longer stay.

House is good

On our check in day, we came exactly at our check in time. We had to wait about 12 minutes to get in the house, because housekeeper was still there and finishing up (owner did notified about that probably prior to our arrival, but reception wasn't good in that area; so we received it right in front of the house and that wasn't an issue for us). As we walked in the house there was very very strong bleach smell ( I totally understand it's due to covid-19, but there are other disinfectant options). It can be an issue if person is expecting, which was our case, and if a person has any respiratory conditions like asthma, which was our case as well. So the smell only started to go away on the day that we decided to leave. Again, it can be fine for some people, buy very unexpected situation if people has health conditions, so be aware of that. Kitchen was stocked perfect, and there was everything needed. We did see a mouse run through the kitchen one night, so maybe it's time for some pest control. House was definitely clean, beds were clean, overall it's a great place to enjoy a family time together!!!!

Why they chose this property

It is loaded with everything you need for a vacation! 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 a great 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.

What makes this property unique

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.
