Little Pinecone Retreat close to Rec Center

Bring the whole family — four-legged friends included — to Little Pinecone Retreat, a cozy mountain townhome nestled among the pines in Tahoe Donner! With warm wood ceilings, a bright and inviting living space, and all the comforts of home, this welcoming retreat is the perfect place to settle in after a day of exploring Truckee and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains.

Gather for a home-cooked meal in the fully equipped kitchen, enjoy a relaxing evening in the living room, or step outside to the private patio for some fresh mountain air. In the summer, fire up the gas grill and enjoy outdoor dining surrounded by the peaceful forest setting. With garage and driveway parking, unpacking and settling in is easy, leaving you more time to enjoy your mountain escape.

Adventure is right around the corner in every season! Spend summer days hiking and biking scenic trails, exploring historic downtown Truckee, or heading to the shores of Lake Tahoe. In winter, enjoy nearby ski resorts, snowy landscapes, and plenty of opportunities for snow play. You're also just a short distance from the Trout Creek Recreation Center, where you can enjoy pools, hot tubs, a sauna, and fitness facilities (additional fees apply).
