Short 2 block walk to the Gondola. Nice walk down to the lake and many good food options within a short walk. The room was just what I was looking for, very basic and no extras but it was clean. Only negatives were the heat was a little finicky, didn't always seem to work then when it did it was too hot and i would recommend an upstairs unit as you could hear people moving around in the unit above.
Surrounded by tall pines and fresh mountain air, it has that classic lodge charm while still feeling comfortable and well cared for. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. One of my favorite parts was how peaceful the property felt that you could actually hear the wind in the trees, which made mornings and evenings especially calming.
The staff were all very nice. We had issues with the first room we received. It smelt terrible, old and felt dirty. The second room was nicer, but still had stains on sheets, bathroom was dirty and still had a dirty feel to it. This location needs lots of TLC, but location was excellent.
The rooms are comfortable, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the location is great for getting around town. It’s an easygoing place to stay that adds to the Tahoe experience.
Big Pines Mountain House is a great choice for travelers looking for comfort, charm, and a true Tahoe experience. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting South Lake Tahoe.
Cozy mountain vibe, clean room, and great location! Close to the lake, Heavenly, and restaurants, but still quiet. Friendly staff and easy check-in. Would definitely stay again!
A warm retreat with spacious rooms, a friendly atmosphere, and a location that puts guests within easy reach of South Lake Tahoe’s stunning scenery, shops, and lakeside adventures.
The property has a classic mountain-lodge feel that’s both charming and relaxing, making it easy to get into vacation mode right away. Our room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged, with everything we needed for a pleasant stay.
The property feels peaceful and scenic, making it easy to disconnect and relax. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a warm mountain charm that made our stay extra enjoyable. The location is excellent close enough to everything, yet quiet and uncrowded.
