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.

Guests love that this home is cozy and well-appointed. Its prime location offers easy access to hiking, walking, and biking paths, and it's within walking distance of the HOA beach and pier. It's an ideal spot to relax after a day outdoors and is perfect for families, especially those bringing their pet dogs.

White Christmas

This property was perfect for our goal of having a cozy white Christmas! My adult daughters, fur baby and myself enjoyed this quaint cabin and its location. The cabin provided everything that we needed for our holiday, including a hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. Only drawback, we were hoping to ski at Homewood and didn’t realize until after we booked it was not open for the season. But we adjusted and skid another location on Christmas Day.

Thanksgiving stay

The cabin was very cute and cozy, perfect size for a couple and dog. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the place was very clean. Loved the wood-burning stove. The location in tahoe was great, close to hiking and walking paths. The property management was very communicative and on top of things. The bed upstairs was a little too soft and my back hurt after sleeping on it a few nights. That's my only complaint. Overall, a wonderful stay and would definitely go back!

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!

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.
