Big Water Pines

Perfect accommodations for us during the Labor Day holiday. House had everything we needed and wanted. AMAZING location! Thank you for sharing your home! We can’t wait to come back!

It was the perfect cozy cabin with everything we needed for a group of 5 friends having a lake weekend. We walked to the dock to swim or just hangout multiple times a day, cooked 3 meals a day and had everything we needed for that. Loved the hot tub after a cold swim. They were very organized and prepared. No complaints!

We (3 adults & 2 dogs) stayed at Big Water Pines for 2 nights and it was wonderful. The cottage and the location were perfect. I would definitely be staying there again for a little longer next time.

We have been back several times now to this lovely home. It's so enjoyable coming in the well stocked kitchen, appliances and utensils abundant. The location is so perfect, close to lake and trails. Neighborhood is quiet and the hot tub is the perfect end to a perfect day. Thank you!

The Big Water Pines was a cozy stay for our young adult family of four. We enjoyed the Tahoe area from this convenient location and walked to the lake, sidewalk trails, and hiking trails all close to the cabin neighborhood. It’s a short drive to Palisades and even shorter to Homewood ski areas. The cabin had a nicely equipped kitchen for in house cooking, but also many restaurants options within minutes by car. The living room wood stove added to the ambiance, and the back patio gas grill and clean hot tub all got good use for our great winter trip. There is only one bathroom but with all great things considered, we would definitely stay here again. Tahoe Time Vacation Rentals provides very welcoming and accommodating customer service!

We loved our stay here but recommend full warning for the electric bear mat ahead of time. Our dog was the one who found it and would have appreciated ample notification in email or before getting to house before it is too late. Other than that lovely stay with nice private hot tub, we’ll stocked kitchen, and comfortable furniture for snowy days

--TTVR management note: The electric bear fence instructions are clearly noted in the checkin instructions. We highly recommend reading them in their entirety so guests (and their pet) can be fully prepared for their arrival.

We love this cozy cabin! This is the second time we have stayed at Big Water Pines. It has snowed right before we arrived and we enjoyed the heated floor, wood burning stove and hot tub. Everything was clean and kitchen is well stocked. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time in Tahoe. We had a few questions on things when we arrived. I sent an email and got a response quickly and efficiently from the management company. Super helpful and friendly!

Our family had an awesome weekend at this cabin. Our first time to Lake Tahoe and this cabin was located in the perfect area. The house provided everything we needed and more. We would love to stay at this cabin again.

Cozy house with all the amenities one could want for a comfy stay in Tahoe. Conveniently located near Tahoe City and Truckee and easy to get to South Lake Tahoe as well. Also a brief walk to a lovely dock. The place itself had extremely comfortable beds, clean bathroom and kitchen, and every possible cooking tool you could need to whip up a feast! My only suggestions would be: 1) it should be noted loud and clear on the check-in email that the bear mat is ACTIVATED on arrival. We are not familiar with bear mats, and did not read this information at the bottom of our email before our dog ran up and got shocked by the mat.  2) The downstairs furniture is not very comfortable for cozying up near the fire (would have preferred fabric to a leather couch which can be cold and stiff). Otherwise - great stay!

There was an issue at check-in due to late cleaners, but we appreciated that the property manager took care of things quickly and made it right. Communication was easy. We had a wonderful stay at this house. The hot tub is clean and nice, and the house is small but has a great layout for a family of four. Also nice that it was dog friendly yet still very clean!

thank you once again for your help in securing our reservation for our stay at big water pines. it was a great stay...the cabin was delightful and perfect for the two of us.... there were no surprises...everything was in great working order...can't say enough. We are looking forward to rebooking this cabin in the future when just the two of us come up. Great location...great cabin. One thing, as a possible suggestion. We were sad that we couldn't (didn't) have a fire. The place was screaming for it...but that is not one's fault. However, it was also needing music. While there were (2) sonos speakers.. and initially the one on the table at the entrance was working...it went out of whack on the second day (we have sonos...sometimes the speakers go offline, and we have to reset them on our phones). In any event, once it went down, we were reduced to ipads...and that wasn't great. Also....was the music station (selection) that was playing piped in directly thru their internet provider? We would have gone with something a bit less contemporary...but that was not a big deal. In any event, that is not a complaint...just an obersrvation..and if we missed something related to the music, maybe put a paragraph in the intstructions realated to it. The stay was great...the cabin and amenities were outstanding...and of course mother nature came through with some great fall foliage. thanks mike ahern

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the cute backyard with the string lights, hot tub, and hammock and enjoyed eating some meals on the outside patio under the trees. The beach was great and so close! We will be back!

We had a great stay! Wonderful accommodations. Everything was clean and nice. Lovely walk to the lake. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at Big Water Pines cabin. We were welcomed with a basket of goodies and a bottle of wine. The house had everything we needed! We have been staying in Tahoe Pines for over 30 years and this was one of the best cabins we have rented. We look forward to coming back.

The house was perfectly supplied. The beds were comfortable and the backyard was a nice touch with a (clean and well maintained) jacuzzi, hammock and string lights. The location was ideal. It was a short flat walk to the HOA beach and pier which made it possible for us to pull all our gear in a wagon and avoid driving and parking. The beach wasn’t too crowded and our family loved the daily lake swimming and floating. The property is also close to Truckee River, DL Bliss and not too far from South shores but far enough that we could avoid the more crowded areas. Also, we can’t say enough about the management company. They were attentive and personable and clearly determined to ensure an enjoyable stay. We will definitely return to this property and explore others that are managed by the same team. Thank you for everything!
