The view
“A very cozy home with an epic view of Lake Tahoe.”
A filtered view through the pines: wide from the deck and the dining table, narrower through the trees elsewhere.
Why groups book it twice
A big house that doesn’t feel like a big house.
Kinpine is a real family house that happens to be enormous. Seven bedrooms across three levels give everyone room to spread out — the grandparents aren’t over the bunk room — and the great room, kitchen and deck bring everyone back together.
How large groups use the house →Multi-generational
Four en-suites for the grown-ups, two bunk rooms and a den for the kids, three pack-n-plays and a high chair already here.
Ski weeks
Parking for six cars plus a two-car garage with an EV charger, and a hot tub for after the lifts close. Winter at the house.
Offsites & reunions
Fiber WiFi, desks in three bedrooms, and a kitchen a private chef can actually work in.
Sleeping arrangements
Where all nineteen sleep
Seven bedrooms plus a den, spread over three floors. Four bedrooms have en-suite baths; the rest share 1.5 more.
Up to 14
Everyone sleeps in a standard bed across the seven bedrooms, with no sleeper sofas opened.
15 – 16
Adds the queen sofa sleeper in Bedroom 1, which has its own private bath.
17 – 19
Adds the den’s queen and two single flip-outs — the kids and teenagers usually claim it.
Avoiding stairs?
Bedroom 5, the en-suite primary, is on the main level with the kitchen, great room and deck, so a guest who’d rather avoid the stairs can sleep, bathe and gather on one floor.

The house
The details people mention in their reviews
A kitchen with everything you could think of
36-inch professional induction range, double ovens, Vitamix, stand mixer, sous-vide wand, knives that are actually sharp. Big enough that a private chef can cook here — and several have.
Outside, year round
A seven-person hot tub sheltered under the deck that runs hot all year, a fire pit, string lights over the deck table, and a natural-gas BBQ piped straight to the house — it never runs out mid-burger.
Arrival & parking
Six cars on the driveway, a two-car garage and an EV charger inside.
For the kids
Legos, board games, sleds, beach toys and floaties.
Working from here
Fiber WiFi that holds a video call while everyone else streams.
The basics
A/C and central heat, in-unit washer and dryer, stone fireplace, smart TVs throughout.
Things you find on day two
Seasons
It snows by the foot here
Incline gets buried. Which is the point — the storms that make the driving interesting are the ones that make the skiing worth it.
The driveway is heated concrete and is clear again by morning after a storm, but the roads beyond it are NDOT’s to clear — check chain controls before you drive up.

Summer is lake season
Incline Village’s private beaches are six minutes away, restricted to residents and their registered guests — arrange beach days with us in advance and, when our schedule allows, we’ll meet your group at the gatehouse to get everyone in.
Sand Harbor State Park, twelve minutes away, is public, charges per car, and requires a morning day-use reservation in summer; the paved East Shore Trail runs there along the water.
Mid-June to mid-August is peak: a 7-night minimum applies until 90 days before arrival, and full weeks book five to six months out.

Incline Village, Nevada
North Shore, and the quiet side of it
Incline Village sits on the Nevada side of North Lake Tahoe — residential, forested, and a world away from the South Shore casinos. Not everyone has to drive: TART’s free Mainline bus runs daily along the North Shore from Incline Village to Kings Beach and Tahoe City, and in ski season Diamond Peak runs a free morning shuttle around the village.

“We had three generations ranging in age from 87 down to 21. Everyone was comfortable and happy. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very well appointed.”
We had our entire family — 8 adults and our 7 grandchildren — for our annual vacation and it was an outstanding trip. The house was in great shape, well stocked and exceeded our expectations. A vacation our family will never forget.”
The kitchen is likely the most stocked regarding kitchen appliances and accessories I’ve encountered.”
My stay in this Tahoe home was absolutely incredible — truly something out of a movie. The house overlooks the water with views that are nothing short of breathtaking. Every morning felt magical watching the light dance across the lake.”
We could congregate in the common areas when we wanted to or have privacy in our own space.”
My kids are grown, so we did a ski trip to get everybody together. This house was perfect for the occasion. Loved the closet full of board games, and the kitchen had everything you could think of.”
We loved utilizing the hot tub while it was snowing outside.”
We rented the house for my 50th birthday. The amount of bathrooms was great, especially how four of the bedrooms had their own. We cooked dinner one night and the kitchen had everything we needed and more.”
Everything was spotless and incredibly comfortable from the moment we arrived. Truly a perfect place for families — the arcade machine was a huge hit and kept us all interacting.”
Book direct with the owner
The good weeks go a year out.
Check the live calendar, or tell us your dates and we’ll tell you honestly whether the house suits your group.
How good is the lake view, really?
Honest answer: it’s a filtered view, not an unobstructed one. The house is up in the pines, so the lake arrives in pieces — wide from the deck and the dining table, narrower through the trees elsewhere. Guests consistently call it breathtaking but you have to see it for yourself.
Does it really sleep 19 comfortably?
Nineteen is the real number, not a stretch. Seven bedrooms sleep 14 in proper beds, and Bedroom 1’s sofa sleeper plus the den’s queen flip-out and two singles cover the rest. Five and a half bathrooms are spread across all three levels, including four bedroom en-suites.
Can we get onto the private beaches?
Incline Village’s beaches are restricted to residents and their registered guests, so arrange beach days with us in advance and, when our schedule allows, we’ll meet your group at the gatehouse to get everyone in — about six minutes from the house. Raise it when you book rather than counting on it for every day of a stay. Sand Harbor State Park, twelve minutes away, is public, charges per car, and requires a morning day-use reservation in summer.
Is this South Lake Tahoe? California?
Neither. Incline Village is on the North Shore, on the Nevada side. South Lake Tahoe and its casinos are about 45 minutes around the lake.
Do we need a four-wheel drive in winter?
Chains or AWD are wise on the mountain passes during a storm. The driveway itself is heated concrete and clears itself overnight — see the photos above — so the driveway isn’t the problem; the passes are, so check NDOT chain controls before you drive up.
What are the minimum stays?
Summer peak — mid-June through mid-August — runs a 7-night minimum until 90 days before check-in, then shortens if there’s a gap. Winter holidays book a year ahead and may carry longer minimums. Spring and fall are flexible.
Pets, events, extra guests?
No pets and no smoking. It’s a residential neighborhood, so weddings and parties aren’t permitted — though we regularly host the family attending a Tahoe wedding elsewhere. Nineteen is the hard cap.
Why book direct instead of through Airbnb or Vrbo?
There’s no third-party platform between you and us: you see the total price for your dates before you commit, and you deal with the owner directly on arrival times, extra nights and group logistics rather than a channel message thread. Same house, same owner, same calendar.
