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

Big Water Pines is located 5 miles south of Tahoe City, 1.5 miles north of Homewood Mountain Ski Resort and a couple blocks from Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Pines' HOA private pier and beach. Big Water Pines is a charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 1 loft cabin nestled on a secluded street in Tahoe Pines.

On the first floor, there is a living room with dining area and wood stove, newly remodeled kitchen, large bathroom, laundry facility, and a bedroom with a queen size bed. There is a stereo in the living room with a CD player and IPOD docking station. The sliding glass door provides direct access to the hot tub and landscaped back yard.

The house is equipped with high speed wireless internet access. The cabin is walking distance to the lake and Tahoe Pines homeowners' association private pier and beach.

Also nearby is the Blackwood Canyon trailhead for access to hiking/biking trails in summer and snowshoeing/cross country skiing in the winter.

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!
