Welcome to our little corner of Paradise-
Meet the Plumas Pines Family!
 

Wyatt Smith – VR Manager and hands on everthing!

Wyatt was the "first employee" of Plumas Pines Vacation Homes and Rentals way back in 2001 before we even bought the company.  As a 2nd grader he would walk over to the office to visit with Paula the VR Manager and she put him to work sorting owner statements.  When we bought the company in 2010, after school he would answer the phones, ride his bike down to help guests with their wifi and T.V.'s  He was our tech guy from the get go!  

As a child of the mountains he was a lift (lifty) at the top of the lift at Alpine meadows right out of high school.  Lots of hard work but skiing down the  mountain at the end of the shift had it's perks!

Wyatt began his tech career as a communications technician contracted with various companies installing and maintaining low voltage systems at Walmart, Starbucks and other local Reno companies.

He tranisitoned from Tech to the HVAC business and by the time he left that industry he was the customer service tech/repair guy for a company in the East Bay area. Diagnosing and solving problems, all the while delivering helpful and kind customer service has served him well in the vacation rental business.

And now, full circle (back in time for the 2024 season) he is back at the helm of Plumas Pines - a big learning curve that he navigated with skill and humor all the while working with his boss and Mom.

When not managing all things Plumas Pines, Wyatt likes to relax by working on his cars and hanging out with the best big dog in the world Dexter. (who you may meet when you drop by the office) 

In the off season Wyatt and Shannah live in Burney, CA another beautiful mountain town in our state.
 

Our newest team member!!!
Meet Shannah Gallagher

Shannah is the newest person to captain the reservation desk at Plumas Pines -  bringing a people-first mindset and strong responsibility to the team. While she is new to Plumas Pines, Shannah has called the beautiful Northern California home for seventeen years. Shannah has a true appreciation for small town living, tight knit communities, and the importance of building relationships within a small community.

Before joining Plumas Pines, Shannah spent her career in the medical field where she developed a deep sense of compassion, reliability, and dedication to helping others during important moments in their lives. That experience shaped her thoughtful approach to service, her ability to problem solve and respond with care which are qualities that translate seamlessly into her role at Plumas Pines.


With deep small town roots, Shannah approaches her work with integrity, consistency, and a genuine care for others. She takes pride in creating positive experiences, supporting guests and team members, and contributing to a welcoming work environment. Shannah may not know how to set a hook or what a “bogey” is, but she is eager to be a part of our community!

Outside of work, Shannah enjoys quiet time outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and most importantly embracing new challenges and experiences. 

Shannah's calm demeanor and sincere commitment make her a great addition to Plumas Pines!!!  Her compassion is not just a quality, it's something people feel in every interaction with her. We are thrilled!


Ellen Cantrell - after 16 years of being the owner and manager of Plumas Pines Ellen is still around....but now hanging out in the backroom of our company watching with pride as Wyatt and Shannah become the NEW faces of Plumas Pines!
