Walk To Lake Tahoe And Private Beach/Pier, Remodeled Kitchen!

Nestled on a peaceful, secluded street in Tahoe Pines, Big Water Pines is a charming cabin retreat just 5 miles south of Tahoe City. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath getaway with an entertainment loft offers a cozy escape with a beautifully remodeled kitchen, a warm living area with a wood stove, and a hot tub for relaxation. The cabin provides parking for two cars, and high-speed internet allows you to stay connected.

On the main level, you'll find the dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, the living room with a wood stove, a full bathroom, and a queen bedroom. Upstairs, a spacious entertainment loft equipped with a TV (streaming only) and a sleeper sofa. Also located upstairs is the second bedroom with a king bed that creates plenty of space for friends and family. High-speed Wi-Fi, a stereo system, and a hot tub in the landscaped backyard add to the experience, making Big Water Pines the perfect vacation spot for creating lasting memories year-round.

In summer, relax outdoors with a hammock suspended between trees, a landscaped yard with patio furniture, and a gas BBQ (summer only). Located just blocks from the lake, enjoy the Tahoe Pines HOA private pier and beach, perfect for swimming, kayaking, or sunbathing. Hiking and biking trails in nearby Blackwood Canyon are ideal for exploring Tahoe's scenic nature.

In winter, Big Water Pines becomes a cozy alpine escape with easy access to top ski resorts. Palisades Tahoe and Alpine Ski Resorts are less than 10 miles away, perfect for skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing. After a day on the slopes, return to the warmth of the wood stove, or unwind in the hot tub under the crisp, starlit sky.

This cabin location and size was perfect for our family stay. The short walk to the lake was convenient and it was a short drive from stores and restaurants, although with the well stocked kitchen we cooked every night at home. We will definitely be back!

Birthday Weekend at the Lake!
This place was perfect for a group of 5 of us friends. We loved the walk to the lake every day multiple times a day, and enjoyed jumping off the dock, and having a little picnic down there. It felt tucked away but so close. They had everything we needed to cook 3 meals a day and enjoyed the hot tub every night after a cold swim at the lake.

Great spot for Tahoe getaway!
A really nice stay with everything as listed. The location is great and easy to get to. Away from it all but close enough to town for restaurants, the lake, and activities. The home warmed up nicely, had a nice functional hot tub, and was clean and comfortable. Let me not forget the wood stove, which was pre-loaded and really a nice plus. Noteworthy: -Kitchen supplies minimal but with Safeway nearby -Cell service (verizon) not very good but great Wifi provided - A tiny amount of effort to work around bear deterrents but considering the alternative, no trouble at all - Comfortable beds, linens and pillow options - so thank you!

Good overall - had some issues
Overall a great stay but had a few issues. The driveway was supposed to fit 2 cars, but there was so much snow piled up only one car fit (luckily we only had one car). Entering, I opened the door without turning the bear fence off as I had never seen one and didn't know what it was. It was also pitch black out by the time we arrived- but a warning to anyone else arriving as you might not know the fence is there. It's in the directions they send but it would definitely be helpful to have a sign in front of the porch as a warning. The house itself was very spacious for our party of 3, and had all the supplies we needed. The hot tub was huge and definitely a highlight of the stay. However, on the second night of our stay, all the snow fell off the roof and blocked the back door and windows so we were unable to open the door and get to the hot tub. By the time we realized this had happened, it was after-hours so no one was able to come to shovel the snow. Thankfully this didn't happen while we had been outside the night before. With the amount of snow that fell from the snow storm the week before I definitely think the snow should've been removed from the roof before anyone stayed there.

Lovely cabin on the West Shore!
Very lovely, well-appointed cabin. The heated floors were a bonus! Great location and very comfy bed. My only suggestion would be to the property management company to consider consolidating their emails/texts/calls. It felt like a bit of automated "over-communication". That said, I would definitely stay there again!

Lovely cabin, would book again
What a lovely cabin! Close to skiing and a short walk to the beautiful lake. The hot tub is dreamy and the kitchen has everything you need including lots of spices. It’s an old school cabin with the Tahoe charm, but a newly remodeled kitchen is a beautiful addition. My family hopes to come back in the summer time.

Great summer vacation!
We loved our little cabin in Tahoe Pines! The location is great, walking distance to the beach/pier and in a friendly and flat neighborhood. A short drive to Sunnyside restaurants and markets. The cabin itself was just as described - the kitchen is new and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and rooms cozy. The loft sofa with the TV was a great hangout space. We wished there was a TV downstairs too, but since we spent most our time outside it worked out fine. We also enjoyed having the hot tub. Would love to come back!

Great property for 4-6 people near Palisades Tahoe and other resorts!
I linked up with 5 friends at this property (6 total) and we all loved it! Great backyard area (this was March 5-9 when Lake Tahoe had record-breaking snow by the way) and everything held up really well despite the weather. The hot tub and entertainment center was our favorite part. Very cozy! The only negative part of this experience was the responsiveness from the owner/property managers. I have a feeling they were all overwhelmed with the weather reports changing every day and the number of people who probably expressed their concerns at this time. I assume there was a high volume of calls/emails to discuss contract terms, which led to delayed responses. When we reached out to discuss the weather/contract terms about a week before the trip, it took at least 4-5 days to get a response and a couple of follow-ups before that. They provided little flexibility due to the weather, which I understand is part of the contract so I don't have any issues there. However, what rubbed me the wrong way was that they called me the day of check-in to let us know that we could now 'reschedule due to weather'. This was too last minute, my friends were flying in when I received this call and at that point, we were not going to cancel our flights, so we had to commit to the stay. I say this not to harm the company's reputation but to provide constructive feedback! It would have been a better experience if we had received a quicker, more proactive response from the owners. Overall, 4/5!
